Anyone making any? I need to get started on a cd calender for my brother and mom. I did finish some ornaments to ship to my sister printed out on transparencies. Not a very good pic though but fun to look in my stash and put some buttons, glitter, bows, ect. in them.

I went to the Dollar Store and bought a bunch of the two-year pocket calendars, took them from their plastic holders, made new personalized digital covers and glued them on, then replaced them in their plastic folders. I have to give Lisa Vollrath credit for the idea. Nice little personal tuck-in gifts. I've also made a gabillion bookmarks!

Bev...I really like this idea.

Bev, I made my first bookmarks on Sunday night and I am THRILLED with them! When I got your bookmark in one of the swaps, I decided I should shake the lead out and actually try one. I do wonder how much we inspire and goad each other on without ever knowing the full extent of it? I keep posting all the time that that is what being here does for me. An indirect source of primal support. Sure, lots of direct stuff, too, but honestly it is that indirect support that I find the most enduring and encouraging.

Thanks for the kind words, Kim. I agree that it's the community of art that spurs us all on. I was looking at comments on something the other day and the places of origin -- Netherlands, Australia, Canada, U.S. and several states--and thinking what a wonderful thing cyber friendships are! We are scattered from hither to yon, and yet we're family of a sort. As Martha would say, "it's a good thing"!

I've made some holiday napkins using iron-on transfer paper, and I'm working on a date book for my daughter. I hope to get it finished today.

Here are the napkins:

Those are absolutely gorgeous, and oh, so impressive. No one would dare really use them!
