You may know that I ambitiously planned to make 20 of these desk calendars last August to give as teacher gifts for Christmas. My fingers have been hard at work this week and I now have completed 15 of the 20. The good news is I took them to school yesterday and gave them all out. (Phew! I made it before the end of January!) I really don't know who to make the other 5 for, and my fingers need a rest (those jump rings are tough!)My tutorial is here with versions 1 & 2, including where to buy the post-it note calendars. I used my Cuttlebug Flourished Frame embossing folder around the calendar. I purposely have tried to use up SU papers that I don't have much of (make room for more, right?) Also, versions 3 & 4 are here.
We are off to sunny Florida for some warm weather and to visit family for the long weekend (it is the end of the second quarter; no school on Monday for a teacher workday.) It is very cold here and a couple of inches of snow are expected; we are leaving just in time to miss it :)
See you next Wednesday for another fabulous Cuttlebug Challenge blog challenge!

I admire your stick-to-it-iveness! Very nicely done!
Your coaster calendar pages are so pretty --love the embossed detail under the calendars and the other embellishments on the pages opposite the calendar as well. I'm sure the recipients will enjoy these all year long...including what's left of January! ;)
Hope you have a safe and fun trip to FL this weekend.
You are really doing a great job with thos calendars. Have a safe journey and a sunny break in Florida.

These are really pretty June, thank you very much for sharing the tutorial!!! I'm impressed how you're just rolling along with them, wow!! I'm envious you are going to Florida, yeah for you! I'm heading off to Eastern Canada, which will be exciting, but certainly not balmy or warm or have any palm trees either... :-)
