Calendar part two!

I've been working away on this lovely calendar. Originally I'd planned to mail one month at a time. Then I got to thinking, how much would the postage be on one 6X6 piece of paper? I decided it would be easier to make and mail them all in one swoop.

So here is February and March.

Again, I used the American Crafts 6X6 page protectors.

For February's calendar, I used a free digital kit from Rhonna Farrer.



For March's calendar, I got "A smile can brighten the darkest day" from Weeds and Wildflowers, it's collection is called; Spreading Cheer. As well as "Messy Stuff 2." (You'll know it if you purchase the kit- it's the orange in the photo.) It's on sale right now, 30% off. If you use coupon code: "SAVE10MORE" you'll get an additional 10% off!

The star patterned paper came from Tia Bennett here. Did I mention it was free?



With this photo I wanted to show that I also stained the edges of the wood also. It has a really nice finished look. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. Is it obvious? I hope the people receiving it will be as happy as I am!



(PS: Notice I changed the wire, to loose-leaf rings. It's a much nicer, and more finished look. On the next "frames" I make, I'll move the page protector up so I can use a 2" silver ring.)

Just a few pictures from my morning. I picked this desk up from the best babysitter we'd ever had. Heather, who was also the youngest sitter we've ever had. She moved to California with her family as they are a military family. Anyways, the kids were sitting at the desk this morning, eating some Lucky Charms. I'm ever so lucky they get along as well as they do.



Isn't he a heart breaker! Look at that smile. Aw... tear.





Hong Kong and Russia sure know how to ring in the New Year! I believe I'll be in bed before I see 2009! I've had three sex on the beaches. My all time favorite drink of all! Takes me back to my days of partying... Canada style!! :)

Happy New Year everyone! May 2009 be better than 2008!
