As a teacher, I get some fun little Christmas gifts from my students, and I always send them a thank you note for their thoughtfulness. Of course, I make the notes, sometimes with my current Stampin’ Up! products, sometimes with retired products that I still have in my craft closet.…
Here is another type of calendar that I made and sold during my Craft Fair/Fund Raiser. It is one of my personal favorites, as it doesn’t take up a lot of space on your desk, and it has a pen to match the paper! I have two left to sell!…
