I am working on the sale page, but I’ve got a few sickies in the house so it’ll be a work in progress for now.  I barely managed to not get sick myself last night - I hope it wasn’t something we ate!   I am feeling way better today, just a little slow moving.

Anyway - if you have emailed me about purchasing some of my goodies - I really appreciate it and I am making my weigh through sorting my emails.  I also got moved from regular Hotmail to Windows Live Hotmail - which totally stinks!  I hate it - I hate change, lol!  And for some reason you can’t reply from your junk mail folder?!?!  Arg!  I had all my blog emails go to junk mail so I don’t mix them with personal - well, now I’ve had to set up another folder and filter system to deal with that because I can’t reply to y’all from there!  So annoying.  Anyway, too many things to fix at once!  So - I am working on responding and if you haven’t heard back - don’t think I am ignoring you!

Ok, now on to a really cool, easy, cheap gift for the holidays!  Kimberly made mine for me last year and I sent them out to family.  This year - I know how to do it myself!  Here’s a look at ours for this year - then I’ll explain the details of what it is and how you can make one!

template, calendar grid and frame - Something Blue Studios
paper - Paint The Moon Designs - Trashed Paper Pack (recolored)
flower - Marcie Reckinger - August collab at FPD
alpha for year date - Birgit (@ Catscraps) - Gralpha in Blue

This is a 5 x 2.5 magnet for your fridge! They are printed, laminated and then put on really strong, nice magnets!  Very cool, huh? And they are really reasonable!  Mine were $3 each and the shipping is absolutely reasonable as well!  Something Blue Studios does these, and they are really nice as well.  They have a downloadable kit that has everything you need - calendar templates, year dates, frames, even a few choices of already made up ones that you can just plug your pic in to!  These are great for grandparents, your own fridge, etc.  Here is where you can find the information:

They have all sorts of options - just scroll about halfway down to see the magnets that I used and there is a button to click and download their kit.  Enjoy!

    Hope all your sickies recover soon. Best wishes for your sale page. Sent you an email about Kimberley, but nor sure if you got it, due to your mail accounts mix up. No hurry on the reply. All the best with your sale page.

    Nice family portrait. I like how the calendar picks up the color of the clothing. Very nice. This is a great gift idea. Thanks for sharing this idea.

    These are awesome! I’m going to make these as a gift for the administrators and some staff at my kids’ school — I have some great pictures from the Veterans Day concert, so I’ll use one of those.
