A cheap gift I am doing this year is perpetual calendars. I found a free printable online and printed them up. I found a local print shop who spiral bound 25 for 20$.
Also- have you ever put photos on teh marble magnets? I wanted to but all my marbles have a "dimple" and I thought that would look odd with the photo- like a blemish.

I've been reading your posts for a couple months now. I found your blog when I was searching for a DIY calendar. I've yet to complete that project but I love it! It's a great idea.
I see you're a counselor, now SAHM. Me too! I worked as a Clinical Counselor before having children. Now I'm a SAHM, but I'll probably go back to work next year when my oldest starts preschool. Please stop and visit! ~Lisa

I stopped by! I always read your posts. I've made the coasters before. Everyone LOVED them. In fact, I still have supplies to whip out a few sets this year too. LOL
Heck my 'crap'/craft studio has PLENTY of supplies! Why then do I find myself in Hobby Lobby weekly looking for more? Oh right, inspiring blogs like yours with more ideas than I have time!
