12.31.2012 ... calendar box

this is our version of

a 10 year calendar box.

ev made the box.

he also cut and 

date stamped every card.

scout decorated the month cards.

and special day cards.

i chose the month cards

from a vintage pack i found.

we decided to use 

a mixed color index card

palette.

this box we made

for jon cody, val & sammy baer

for Christmas.

today we are 

making our own.

ev is stamping dates as i type.

to use this memory box

you simply write the year 2013

on the first line each day.

next to it jot a phrase

about something that happened,

you created, you made for dinner,

you did for the first time...

{you get the idea}

on that day.

make it a habit.

it's easy.  really.

each year repeat this.

in 10 years you will

have a miniature

calendar journal

all in one small box.

so what are you waiting for?

you still have time to make yours.

if you need a box, you can

substitute a small fruit

box - like blueberries

and raspberries come in.

let me know 

how yours turns out.

thanks for stopping by.   

until next time. 

 happiness to you. 

from me. 

with heart.
