Close To My Heart Product Spotlight BLOGHOP: Christmas Projects

Welcome to my blog!

You should have come here from JILL'S blog.

I really hope you like my Christmas gift idea.  Its an Event Calendar.  The idea is you write in birthdays, anniversaries, etc so that you can see at a glance the important events in your life - year after year - the calendar is re-usable.

Pair this calendar with a dozen or so cards and voila!  You gift gets even better because now not only will your recipient be able to see the special events, they will also be prepared to send cards.  You could make the cards and calender from coordinating paper if you really want everything to go together.

Twilight

Cranberry

*** my supplies are meant to be a suggestion.  I have a LOT of supplies listed, so I encourage you to do what I would do and see what you already have on hand and then purchase 2 or 3 new things instead of the ENTIRE list I have above.  GOOD LUCK!!
I hope you get some good ideas from my calendar.  If you make one I would LOVE to hear about it.

Next on the blog hop is:  KRISTIE

Happy Holidays!
