Our Christian school hosted a craft day for women in February. I went for a few hours and finished my anniversary and birthday calendar. (We had gotten one of these for our wedding, but it fell into dirty dish water and there were a few birthdays that I really didn't need on it anymore.)
So here are some pictures of my new one. I had a lot of fun making it and am deciding if it would be something fun to make and try to sell on etsy or something, thoughts?
To make it, I figures out how to use download fun and free fonts to use in Word. I decided to do this on the craft day, because I basically used my friends' scraps from scrap booking to add a little flare to each month.

Another craft I am still currently working on--I need to get staples for our staple gun and then it will be done in just a few short minutes.
I went to goodwill the other day on the sole mission to get a old picture that I liked the frame of. I found one and used a 25% off coupon--hurray for coupons to thrift stores. I then took the picture and the glass out and sanded the frame. It started as silver and I first thought about just antiquing it. But, I didn't like the way it looked. So, I got some black spray paint and painted it. It was fun. I plan on stapling some strings from side to side on it, so I can clip pictures on it. I found a great deal on mini clothespins at Meijer. I hope to fit almost all our Christmas card pictures on it. I like to save the pictures that our friends and families send--I cut just the picture out and then put them on the fridge normally. I just got a little sick of them on my fridge and I felt like it just looked cluttered. Therefore-my new project. Sorry I didn't take before pictures of the frame. But here are some pictures of it in progress.
