Event Calendar -- Gift for a Man

Our son-in-law admired an event calendar I had made for our daughter,

so I surprised him with a masculine version for his December birthday.

He's going to hang it in his office and ask each of his patients

to add his or her birthday to the calendar.

What a thoughtful gesture!

The CTMH event calendar (perpetual) makes a great gift for anyone--

I don't know what I'd do without mine...

You never need to re-write special birthdays/anniversaries on calendars

once you make and use one of these!

Clementine Recipe Box

Start with Close To My Heart's Recipe/Photo Box.  (Z1322)
Add favorite papers and embellishments.
Voila! 
A pretty and easy gift item for someone special!

The front flap section has a magnetic closure, a great detail. 

I used:
Clementine Papers
Cottage Assortment florals
Irresistable lower case letters with Twilight ink

Leave a comment -- tell me how you'd rate this as a gift item! 

You could fill it with favorite recipes, special photos, or CDs -- or love notes!

You could also make it into a memory box for someone's wedding or anniversary, graduation or birthday ... just some creative starters to get your mojo going.

I hope your Thanksgiving Day was filled with blessings!

Girly Journal

Key To My Heart papers along with Sorbet and Juniper ribbons decorate this spiral-bound journal.
 
Here's the back and front view:

This is just one of the items I've made for this Sunday's vendor fair in our city.

In all honesty, it will be a GREAT day when I finish everything and clean up my messes! It's beginning to feel too claustrophobic in StudioJane. DH shuddered when I mentioned, "I'm running out of space. I may have to move to a bigger room." Poor DH. Doesn't he know I'm just teasing? All I need is a few elves to help me make this space look organized again--so I can start all over in creating and making my fun messes!

Truly, you don't want to see any more than this:

Happy evening ... and enjoy all those Thanksgiving leftovers! After tomorrow, we'll be calling them "mustgoes."

Thanks for visiting and leaving your love!

I'm Sharing the Love

Valentine's Day is over, but love makes the world go 'round every day!

I found this on Y's blog and wanted to play along.

This is what you do:

The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise!

The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write a "pay it forward" post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift!

Be sure to send me an e-mail at msgreenthumbs[at]hotmail[dot]com and tell me your address.

Remember, you must post this on your blog (I will be checking) and leave a comment. The first 3 to do both will receive a gift from me, so be quick!
