  10. This is perfect! I have been struggling with finding a calendar that I could put in my studio. I needed one that I could add a class or event to. With most calendars you are confined to a tiny square. With this calendar I can use a framelit or punch and hang it on the day. This is so cool and then they can change with the new products. I love it!!! Thanks so so so much!!!!!

  35. What a fun idea that could be custom made to go with your decor colors etc. Looking at the calendar reminds me I need to go put a birthday card in the mail. The birthday is Monday but that is a postal holiday so I need to get it there for Tuesday. Thanks for sharing your project and tutorial.
