I love little calendars, just the right size to fit in a small purse, but usually hate the covers on them. It’s hard each January looking over the rack of pocket calendars and trying to choose the lesser of the evils: kittens & puppies, cheesy flower arrangements, stuffed animals in dresses…. Which will I feel less embarrassed to be seen carrying? So I decided to make my own.

I took the calendar out of the plastic cover, traced it on bright paper, and cut it out. Fold the new cover in half and choose your stamps and ink colors. Decorate and personalize! Then slip back into the plastic cover. I didn’t even stick it to the calendar.

You could even stamp something different on the back to flip over whenever you feel like it. This could make a cute, small gift or Valentine and these calendars can be found for about $.50. I wrote my name on the front and you could personalize it to fit any friends’ personality. This only took about 10 minutes so I may change it every season- obviously I am ready for spring. I am much more eager to look at these daisies every day!
