Here is my version of the advent calendar. I kept thinking the weather would clear up and I'd get a sunny day to take pictures of it. I did get a sunny day, but it was very windy outside and I couldn't find a great place inside to take pictures. So...this was the best I could do. You can see most of it, but I really didn't capture all the sparkle. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkenkjo-CIkjg7OpV2jIigfXCoPi9awnztrLqt54WvphqwLCSo-ZWKPwFn8uF7riF0K1BAzG6wPXAtATYN20EsYyjjOFm3QI0C2_igsAQ0qNLQvrCS3HoMOzDlTWO7ARsq_T7ysYtpWvU/s320/IMG_3171+(2).JPG)
I love the idea of a muffin tin transformed into an advent calendar. After all, is has the treat box built in for each day!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi57TSeyXlFvY4OnIJ4fxM1C1IXCwi6VTnAq-5UueHmsN1zs4Vxmii5FZJIGj294RffoyXdvCBqOSYCjeZDQOs_ucBNqdv_KDgozY-dDrhN0LgpuElloixAGJRU_Us0yhf3vYh3jUqfYu0/s320/IMG_3175.JPG)
I spray painted the muffin tin and then covered that with a pearl paint. I also rubbed it lightly with distress ink.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC_V-aHHAvsHjqAq8P-V2sPgKVxmoeSZk5jqNYyZX02mq_2DXCkgBScPQaV6FmxrK6PJVugFqKNeoQGB16vTC5XCuX_EQt7SW9hsF5YK4CM4i9AnEOiEd5ohfhPdJDfasNCdrjjTEZgms/s320/IMG_3178.JPG)
I used heavy duty magnets (the shipping cost more than the product!) to create each square.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYA3yLjA_sQnboPdANLwXYnnsTbkZtR0jq8472cnffBWSzYvBKHGGFarhP9zjGjha8Dg3vb2HcF4fAtVgBPnrMo3PGOJi1I14ywOKnfJunTQLf0oRegQhdUQIGMJi-xBDis5KjOm8k3u8/s320/IMG_3179.JPG)

It makes me smile everytime I see it. And that's saying quite a lot, since I sold several and got rather tired by time I had made them all! Are you ready for Christmas? I've still got some gifts to make...gotta go get busy!
