Found this on Pinterest and instantly fell in love!
Pottery Barn - $299! Are you kidding me!
So decided to make my own! Eight packages of 3 white pails complete with ribbon from the Dollar Tree, two packages of gold numbers from Hobby Lobby, twine I already had, and sticks from the yard = about $12.00. I plan to fill the little buckets with scrolls which have an activity or service project on them, and maybe a treat or two.
Excuse my dirty window. This is the only place I had to put it where little hands couldn't get to it! ;-) Next year, I'll try to find straighter sticks.
What? I know it's December 3rd already! I'll have it done by the end of the day. And we've already done the things for the past two days!

I love your take on the PB advent calendar - at a mere fraction of the outrageous price PB wants for theirs! Awesome job!
I like the crooked sticks too!
great idea! Love that you used the little white pails from the dollar store.
