After my buffet on Friday night I decided that I was going to take a break this weekend from doing anything crafty. Or so I told myself that I was going to try. That didn’t work very well come today when my husband decided that while the kids were down for their naps that he was going to go to the shooting range with one of his buddies from his Unit. Okay, well atleast he was considerate enough to do it while the kids were down. When he left at 1 he said he’d be home in a hour.
Two hours later I text him asking him what had happened to 1 hour and his reply was that they were on his way back. Then he gets here and his friend has come home with him. I normally don’t mind when he brings friends over but today he didn’t say he was bringing him, didn’t give me any type of warning so that I could atleast go get out of pj’s and not look horribly grungy! It’s my lazy Sunday at home I’m not expecting people over without any notice. Ugh..men.
Now onto todays project while he was gone. I’ve been seeing these around lately and have thought they were adorable. I’ve had my Forget Me Not holder that Stampin’ Up! sells for over 6 months now and never really thought to decorate it up to make it look prettier!
Well that is what I did today. I used Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper. What do you think? I don’t think I’m done decorating the outside of the box but I was too excited to post since I haven’t since the 5th 
Today was also the first day that I have broke out the set Calendar Alphabet & Numbers. What a pain in the bottom to cut apart and then stick to the ends of those itty bitty blocks!
In these two photos you can see what the cards look like on top. Which has the month and days for the 2010 calendar year.
I wanted to show you a picture of that back side which looks identical to the front but instead of the calendar itself, it has each day in the month with a dotted line next to it to fill in for each birthday, anniversary, anything that you could possibly send someone a card for!
The other people to the right is the picture of what they look like in the box, minus the cards. My camera decided to die on me in the middle of taking photos so I don’t have all of the angles and details of this complete box up yet.
Hopefully in the next few hours when it’s done charging I’ll update with those plus a couple cards that I got accomplished today too!
Until then, I hope everyone had a great weekend and is excited to start a new week.
