Diy Wedding Calendar

Pinterest has become my main addiction in the past couple of years. You can find anything on there! I love to craft and I have found some great ideas to tweak for myself. I plan to share some of my past DIY projects and my new ones! Hope you enjoy!

My best friend's wedding, love that movie, was this June. We had so much fun! Before I headed up for it, I wanted to make her and her husband something special for their married life. I saw this great idea on Pinterest to make a calendar that you can write memories on each day. Then the next year on the same day you can read the memory you wrote. I thought it sounded like so much fun!

Here is the original post, http://www.designsponge.com/2010/12/diy-project-vintage-postcard-calendar-journal.html

So I gathered all my supplies. Sorry I don't have pictures of the process!

Here's what you need:
- Notecards, cut in half (I got the colored ones!)
- Colored cardstock
- a cute box (love the Dollar Spot at Target)
- an old calendar, post cards, etc (something you can cut up)
- Markers or sharpies to write with
- Scissors
- Glue

Step 1: Cut all the index cards in half (or you can leave them whole if you have a big box) and write each day on one card. I just wrote Jan. 1 in the top right corner and continued on! Don't forget leap day! Then I filled in 2 of the lines with the year. Then the family would write next to each year. Example: January 1st went to a New Year's Eve Party!

You might think this part might take awhile but it really goes fast, especially if you are watching a great show, like The Big Bang Theory!

Step 2: I made the Month cards to separate my index cards. I used colored cardstock and then used markers to write the months. I had an old calendar that I cut pictures out of to make them more exciting!

Step 3: I chose to make a "Today" marker so that it would be easy to keep your place!

Step 4: In the front I added a simple note with instructions for the newlyweds!

And there you have it! A simple, unique wedding or shower gift for the happy couple! Very inexpensive, most of the supplies I already had on hand. Now I need to get to making one for myself!

Thanks for stopping by!

My Adventure into Blogging Begins

Hello Bloggers!

I am just diving into the blogosphere and feel like I have so much to learn! I have loved looking at all the great teacher blogs to get inspiration and ideas! So hopefully one day my blog can be as great as yours! Please feel free to give me advice and feedback! :)

I live in Kansas with my husband, Danny, and my two fur babies, Harley and Roxy. Here they are mid-walk, they can't be bothered to stop for pictures! Harley is our Black Lab and Roxy is a Morkie. Aren't they the odd couple?! :)

We both went to Northwest Missouri State, Go Bearcats! So, of course, I have to plaster this Bearcat paw all over my classroom! Don't you love when your class gets excited about things that you love?

We love going to the lake in the summer and hanging out with our family! I have been a lake rat ever since I was born, and now my husband has become one too!

 I am in the middle of my summer break, or as I like to say, break time to reorganize my home life! (Which includes staying in my pajamas until lunch time) But, of course, I find myself looking at school plans and decorations for fall. It's an addiction! I am going to start my 3rd year teaching in Kansas this year. I have taught 4th grade for the last two years, and I get the chance to loop up with my class to 5th grade this year. I have never taught 5th so I am excitedly looking and making resources and ideas for my classroom!

My plan for my blog is to share about my life, school, and crafts! I want to talk and gain educational ideas and share resources that I make for my kiddos! I am also an avid crafter, just ask my best friend, so I plan to include posts about crafts that I make also!

Hope you all will come back and check out my blog, as I hope to keep adding to it!

Happy Weekend!
Kerry
