I realized I better get this Christmas project posted quick since it’s the 23rd of December!
It’s an empty book and looks like this on the inside:
I used a notebook ring to hold the pages and set them up with the front cover open for a little decoration. Here are the pages:
Thanks for looking and I hope your holidays are happy!

I have wanted to create a perpetual birthday calendar for a long time but I couldn’t decide the best way to do one. Well, my problem is solved because there is a Perpetual Calendar Kit in the upcoming Spring 2015 Occasions catalog!
It is only $15.95 and you get so many supplies – I had lots left over. Here’s January with all the other months underneath:
Here’s the months decorated:
I had so much fun putting this kit together that I completely lost track of time. Here’s all the supplies I had left over – it’s hard to tell but the white paper is actually pre-cut alphabet letters:
Now I won’t have any excuse for missing your birthday – as long as I know when it is!

So the joke around here goes like this: if you don’t like the weather just wait 10 minutes. While that is often true, I did have more than 10 minutes notice that cold weather was coming last Tuesday. Monday was nice, balmy almost, at 60 degrees and sometimes I don’t remember how cold 32 degrees can feel. Tuesday morning brought snow with the temperature drop so when I saw the dusting of white I was thinking about cleaning it off my car. I neglected to turn the furnace on so I had a chilly surprise waiting for me when I got home from work. A 49 degree surprise. Yikes!
There isn’t any snow on my pine bough but I might try some on my next card. I am starting a Christmas card series and the first one is traditional Christmas red and green with a silver accent. I heat embossed the ornament for a little shine. The red strip is glimmer card stock so it’s sparkly as well.
Thanks for visiting!
