Gift Calendar - Multipurpose

This is the calendar I put together for the wedding couple.

It's a set of metal hooks with chalkboard at the top in a metal box.  I thought this could be used in a variety of ways.

The hooks could be pulled out and used as a count down calendar for 12 or 24 days before Christmas, 7 days to birthdays, 6 weeks before vacations or  9 months before a baby arrives.

It could be hung on the twine provided being sure to knot each one seperately or they could be hung on nails in a group or installed on a nice piece of wood then permanent attached to the wall.

It could serve as a place to leave notes for each other, hold family photos, hold mementos, or other reminders of grace and gratitude.

The chalk can be used to write anything they want on the small chalkboards above the hooks.

Recipe Box Divider Tabs

I'm working on items for our craft sale on November 8th which will raise funds for world missions.

We are having a Kid's Corner where children can shop for their parents.  I am making some of my unused supplies go to a new home.  As participants we are all donating items to the Kid's Corner.

These were purchased several years ago for a 5 year calendar but the concept or the time did not come together.  So, I decided to just make up dividers and fill them with index cards and maybe somebody's Mom or Dad will enjoy it.  I selected card stock which coordinated with the box. I cut pieces of ivory card stock at 3.75 x 6 inches.  I designed the tabs for the Stampin Up Round Tab punch.  I added the word at the center and wanted something to fill the bottom.  After a bit of searching on Ckler I found exactly what I needed.  I decided on 12 dividers. I put names on 10 and left 2 blank. I was able to print 12 tabs on a 4.25 x 11 piece of card stock.  Once printed, I punched them out, folded them in half, applied adhesive and carefully aligned the front one and pressed the back one to meet it.
