Welcome 2012!! Being the first day of the year, I am feeling very excited for what the year has in store for me! The project that I have to share is one that I will get alot of use out of for the years to come. Every year I get a new planner & have to rewrite all the brithdays/anniversaries of family & friends and some how I end up losing some of the information when transferring the dates, so this year that is going to change! I decided to make an Important Date book that I only have to add any new birthdays/anniversaries to the individual montly pages vs. the old routine. I will be able to get all my cards prepared ahead of time instead of waiting for the last minute as well. One of my New Years resolutions is to be prepared and not wait til the last moment. Thanks for stopping by & taking a peek!!
