Our new Pen & Paint Advent calendars are here, and we are so excited to share this special tradition with you!
Each 2020 calendar comes with 27 individual pages including a front and back cover page, a suggested daily guide, display options, and a drawstring bag for storage. This year we have different sizes and display options available.
Our hope is that each mini print will bring joy to the tradition you and your loved ones practice as you count the days to Christmas.
Suggested Guide - The suggested guide we provide is ordered with the four Sundays of Advent (Hope–Peace–Joy–Love) beginning on November 29th. We included 26 cards for the 26 days of Advent along with a card for Christmas Day.
Display Options - Because we know many people celebrate Advent in different ways, our goal was to make our calendar as ecumenical and versatile as possible. There are no numbers or days specified on the cards and each print is blank on the back.
Advent Banner Display-
One way to enjoy your
Advent calendar is to hang a new print each day. For this you can use twine & mini clothespins. Hang the twine on your mantel, below a shelf, or on the wall. Each day clip the corresponding print as you count the days until Christmas.
Advent Wreath Display -
Another way to enjoy your
Advent calendar is to display it in the center of your Advent wreath. For this you can use the provided wooden stand. Each day display the corresponding print as you light the candles and count the days until Christmas.
Advent Ornament Display -
Another way to enjoy your Advent calendar is to hang a new print each day on your Christmas tree. For this you can use string & a hole punch. Punch a hole in each print and add a loop of string. Each day hang the corresponding print as you count the days until Christmas.

What size are the mini prints? This year we are offering two sizes - mini prints are 4x4 inches and our larger size has 5.25 x 5.25 prints.

Are the pages dated? No, but the suggested guide will give you a date with the description of the corresponding page so you know which page to display each day.
