I love the tradition of the Advent calendar but is the first time i made one. In Italy the advent calendar is not the main tradition, we usually start decorating our houses on the day of the Immaculate Conception, December 8. Along with the fancy lights, wreaths and trees, presepe (or nativity scenes) are displayed in many churches, piazzas and also private houses.

I’m happy to share with you a diy “Carnival postcard”: a paper postcard that can be used as a mask too.
The key words of this blog post are: Carnival + DIY + postcard + art therapy, such a great mix of ideas!

I’m a proud supporter of the power of colors and pencils, drawing help my to be concentrated and has a therapeutic power.
(WIKI … Adult coloring books help with developing fine motor skills and vision, reducing anxiety and creating focus, and relieving stress and anxiety in a manner similar to meditation.[19] Concentrating on coloring may facilitate the replacement of negative thoughts and images with pleasant ones….)
