First of all, I loved your ideas! But I'd love to know, what camera do you have?

My mom did something very similar-she wrote the activities on paper links and made a chain that was hung in our house on December 1st. We got to tear off a link each night and do whatever activity was listed. I have put a link to this post on my FB page!
