It is a beautiful sunny morning here and I have just a few hours to get this post done before I am off to all my other daily activities. I do hope to get back on a regular schedule of posting on Fridays but the summer does seem to draw me outdoors and add several more activities to my days. So no promises but I do at least have a few more projects in the works that I am excited to share with you in the next few weeks so we will see what happens.
This weeks project or projects were inspired by my need to get more on top of all the summer activities. It was fairly simple to do but did take a little while to put together. I started with an old shadow box that I had purchased years ago and never use for anything. Below is a quick time lapsed video of how it went together.
For the calendar squares I used some 4 x 6 photo paper cut into 4 x 4 squares. The paper came with my printer when I bought it and I still have a stack of the stuff but little by little I am finding uses for it. The yellow colored squares are painted / dyed with orange and yellow home made alcohol ink which I wrote more about in a previous post here.
After I finished the dry erase calendar I decided that I needed another space for a "to do list" and groceries so I bought this frame for a couple of buck and painted it to match.
The pen holder is made from an old shampoo bottle and attached with a plastic suction cup I had laying around the house.
So here is to hoping that these will serve their purpose of helping me to stay more on top of things.
Happy Upcycling
PS
The hubby is always supportive of my projects but he has complimented this one several times although he admitted that he likes the calendar with all the fun activates more than the to do list. :-)
