Beats an address book!

This project was born out of practicality. My Mom needed a way to organize all the family dates and addresses in one place: her craft room. This way she could find an occasion, make a card and address it without having to run downstairs to find the correct info. This has the edge over an address book, since it's organized by date. Plus, it's cute!

The biggest problem was coming up with a paper to suit each individual. For my nephew's birthday I chose an orange plaid -- he's always wearing either orange or plaid button-up shirts, so it was perfect for him. For my sister, an organic, bohemian paper fit the bill. I hunted through my stash until I found the perfect paper for everyone. It's a good thing I have so much laying around...
