My favorite thing to send every year is easel fold desk calendars. Some people won’t keep a homemade card long, but many keep my calendar all year long! My daughter likes hers so much, she just asks for the next year’s calendar dates and replaces it on the original base. I purchase my calendars from Taylored Expressions. You can order them online here. The calendar above uses the new Faith Collection bundle from Stampin’ Up! available Jan 7th. If you’d like to sign up for a demo discount you can order it today. It’s like a Costco membership for crafters. Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you want more details.

I make these both in Horizontal & Vertical orientation. I make them different ways depending on what I want to put on the calendar.

We had a fun ten days with Sean and Amy here from Texas. This was also the year of our big Thanksgiving and it was wonderful! The Bells Mills ham is always the star of the show and Amy’s Baked Potato casserole, Bree’s deviled eggs and Abby’s apple crisp were all so good! Thanks to everyone who brought food. I made my 85 year old Dad the homemade lard crust pecan pie he always asks for. I must say it was very good. I also made a coconut cream pie. We had lots of food, games and fun! Hope your holiday was nice as well.

This week’s Festive Friday Design Team’s challenge #FF0174 is the 12 Days of Christmas.

If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start.
