Advent calendar
Does anyone have any good ideas for an advent calendar. I'd really like to have one but have been avoiding those plastic/cardboard Nestle cheapies that you can buy at the grocery store. I'd like to have something more real and something that I don't think Dan will pillage before Christmas actually gets here. I don't mind making something but I'm not a really crafty person. It has to be worth it to make too. I want something that I will probably wrap up to use next year and think fondly of... not one that I'd rather just toss. 
So far its either this one:
.... since it seems to be one that I could easily do and would probably appreciate...
or
... since it looks the nicest and I could probably get it done.
This might be too far out of my abilities but I like the look of this one and figure I would probably save it (whereas the paper would just end in the garbage)
I don't know. I'd love some suggestions though. If I want a traditional, special one that would be used every year I might as well just buy a fancy one.... but i hate buying stuff. Who knows.... i might be the beer case one after all.

I vote for the envelopes. The first one looks too much like a case of beer. Hey, it is a case of beer isn't it. OK, nevermind. Try the case of beer but put other things in it- like socks, chocolate, Smirnoff, wine, beer etc. Hmmm maybe you should stick to the envelopes
Nicole I really like the second one. Peter and I might do something like that as well! Sweet! I'm glad I inspired you! I picked up a few candies for some of our envelopes already!
I like that envolpes as well but mike would say -"why did you buy all that crap and clutter" hmm oh well but i like the idea!!
I love the beer bottle advent calendar.
