Ready or Not Advent is coming
But you can be ready...
Hello friends, I hope you are having an incredible day. It is getting chilly where I live, but no snow so that’s good. Have you had snow yet where you live? I am enjoying a slow morning with a cup of coffee and my book but I just wanted to drop in here really quick and give you a glimpse of all the offerings I have for Advent and a few Christmas gift ideas.
I love Advent calendars. They’re so fun and meaningful. I love them but I am not great at completing them. My guess is, I’m not alone. Life is full and sometimes even special things get shoved aside a bit. But there is grace for us all. Over the years I have created four different types of Advent Calendars. One of them includes stickers that I will send you and the others are all digital downloads that you can print at home. Three of the Advent Calendars are daily during the month of December and one of them is weekly. So there is a variety.
The nativity calendar is designed in a way that it can be used daily but it works just to do it all at once as well.
The paper chain is a fun nod to when my kids were young and we made paper chains for the tree. This one includes Bible verses to help you reflect on the meaning of the season.
The Advent Candle coloring pages are a great advent activity and the candle stickers with one coloring page is interactive and fun.
My names of Jesus Advent Calendar is one of my favorites with 24 hand drawn names of Jesus that are ready for you to color, along with Bible references for each name. This has been my best selling Advent Calendar over the years and I think it makes great decorations as well as being a meaningful time in the Word.
I hope you can find an Advent Calendar that will suit your needs and give you more time with Jesus during this very full time of year. We have to be intentional in order to make these things happen. When we put Jesus first everything else falls into place.
As a THANK YOU for your support all Advent calendars will be 15% off until December 1st using the code ADVENT24
Don’t forget I have my 2025 Calendar in the shop as well. This is the gift that keeps on giving, month after month you and your loved ones can see the beauty of the flowers and read the powerful words of the hymns. Maybe you’ll be moved to hum a tune.
I appreciate you shopping small and shopping with me so much. Your purchases are a gift to me and my family and I do a happy dance any time an order is placed!! Your purchases mean we can send our kids to a private school where they are learning about the love that Jesus has for them in all their subjects. Your purchases mean so much to us all and we don’t take it lightly that you spend your hard earned money with Pure Joy Creative. I will do my best to continue to bring top quality products that proclaim the goodness of Jesus and help you get more scripture on more walls*.
*walls also means mugs, water bottles, shirts, etc.
I’m excited about my plan for Black Friday, Small Shop Saturday and the like. But I need to get it photographed so I’ll leave you with these Advent offerings and I’ll be back in your inbox very soon!
Have an incredible day!
in His grip,
+Jamie
