Last week a very wonderful friend of mine asked me to whip up a little poster for her to put with a display of plaid suitcases. The theme was "to grandmother's house we go," which is exactly what I went with.

Make Do {and make lovely} Monday – Advent, Week 1, in Review
Due to sick boys and my foot, we were a little behind starting our Advent observances last week.
