Calendar

This is a calendar I've made for a Christmas present. Sorry
to the person who may see it, and then get it! I've made all
the calendar sheets removable so when the year is over it can
still be a photo book. I've already selected and put photos behind
them, but I won't show them so the person won't know right
away!



You get the idea. I got the boards with pre-cut holes and the
calendars at the scrapbook store Girlfriends downtown. The big
rings at office max and then I already had all the other supplies.
A fun project. I made two of these. The first one took about 8-10
hours and then my second one, maybe 4. It takes a bit to get the
hang of it, but I was trying to be way too creative with the rings,
using a different material. Once I bought the rings it was much
easier.

Crafts cause messes

This is what my craft table looks like when I get into
a project. I need to come up with a better system.

Another mirror. I originally made this for a gift, but may
keep it. It goes well with my room now. It looked clean until I took this picture!

This one isn't done either. I still need to sand the edges and
do some touch ups. Close enough though! It's paint and then
scrapbook paper. The brown strips on the sides are leather paper
with brads inserted.

Now I have to make one more for the gift. It's actually for a
prize for my bunco group in Dec. I can't decide which colors to
do that anybody could use in there house. What do you think?
