I know one thing, I'm ready to take down my decorations! Haha! If you know me at all, this wouldn't surprise you. In fact, as I type this the Rubbermaid tubs are sitting in the entryway staring back at me :) That's my goal for today. I'm going to get all the decorations down except for the big tree. That will stay up until New Year's Day.
I have another Project Lifey post today. This is a tip I picked up from Michelle Wooderson. She talks about how important a calendar is to her organization HERE. Since I'm not sure if a calendar will play an important part in my PL, I didn't want to spend a ton of on one. I picked this one up at Walmart for $4.
The only problem with it was that when I pulled the sticker off of it, it also pulled off some of the plastic coating and left it kind of bubbly. I tried to get a good picture of it. I had plans to decorate the front anyway :)
Nothing too fancy, in case I throw it in my purse or bag. I didn't want a lot of bumpy embellishments hanging off of it.
I cut the doily out of some graph paper and layered on a 1 3/4" patterned paper circle that I stamped with my FAVORITE stamp. On top of that, I adhered a Martha Stewart butterfly that I punched out of some music note paper.
This calendar isn't very big, but on the inside there's enough space for me to jot down a few notes about our activities from that day. Should be perfect for PL.
Did you get any fun crafty things for Christmas? Mike and the girls surprised me with a Kindle Fire! I'm still trying to figure it out :) I love to read so it was a great gift! I hope you have a FANTASTIC Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you back here tomorrow! (wish me luck on dismantling the house!)
what a great idea for your calendar!
ReplyDeletei have a nook and i love it so much! if i could only have more time in the day to do all things i like to do!
i took down everything yesterday and scrubed the house from top to bottom. i am so happy that it is back in order!
Love the simplicity of this calendar. It will really help with PL. I will take my decorations and tree down after the New Years...this is my favorite time of the year so I hate to pack away. :(
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great Christmas! Good luck taking down the decorations. It should take me about 5 minutes since I couldn't really put any up this year. I'll take my tree down on New Year's day too. My to me gift this year was a Nook tablet! I love my Kindle for reading book but the company I'm working for finally put in a hot spot in the cafeteria so I wanted needed a tablet so I can catch up on blogs and Pinterest and other stuff at lunch everyday. I can't wait to use it! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! So glad you had a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI don't do PL, but I certainly appreciate a well decorated calendar! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I can't do without my calendar (and my lists). :)
ReplyDeletecute!
ReplyDeleteIs the doily a punch? Love it!
I love the calendar. I carry a day planner in my bag all the time. It came in a lot more handy when I was in school and had tons of assignments due, but I just can't break the habit, and I'm not sure I want to!
ReplyDeleteI was going to take all the decorations down as well as the tree, but Kristy won't let me.
ReplyDeleteI never take it down before Ukranian Christmas and we don't put it up until 12 days before Christmas..but this year I just wasn't up to all the excitment :(
Love how you fixed the kaka spot on your calender :)
