Hi little penguins! Today is December 1st and it is since the beginning of November that I have been thinking of making this Advent calendar. I would have liked to present it on my blog before December 1st but it’s always like that, we finished everything at the last minute. And as I finished it yesterday, I can only show it to you today.

I wanted to make a calendar that I can reuse in the next few years. Si it must be solid, pretty and practical. I had the idea to make a small village with: houses, a church, fir trees and some diamonds that would fall from the sky. They do not really fall from the sky but they are hanging on a fir decorative tree that I already had.

PS: I try to write in english but it isn’t my mother tongue. Sorry if you find some mistakes.

A few days ago was the birthday of a very good friend of mine. She turns 30 years old and for her gift we all collect money to offer her a wonderful gift: Louboutin shoes. Indeed my friend Emma is a real fashion victim. We met at “l’Ecole d’Arts Appliqués de la Chaux-de-Fonds” in 2004. She studied “fashion design” and I studied “graphic design”. Since then, we still are good friends. And I’m very thankful to have her in my life as a friend because she’s a very kind person always in a good mood. 😉

Today it’s my brother’s birthday. And as he looooves cinema and movies, I will offer him two movie tickets. To make this gift a little bit more fun than just two movie tickets in an envelope, I create this special birthday card.

Today is Mother’s Day in Québec, Switzerland and Belgium (in France, it will be in three weeks). But no matter where do you come from, I suggest you to download and print this pretty funny card for your mom (A5). The text in French says:

“Happy Mothers Day
Sorry about all those stupid things I did as a teenager.
(be thankful you only know about half of them)”

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. And as my name is Valentine, I offer you to offer something special for your Valentine? Here’s a last-minute gift: a free printable popcorn box and a pink lemon popcorn recipe.

First, print the popcorn box template (link above).
