Remember When?

Good morning, remember when I posted my 500th blog post and I said if you leave me a comment I will draw a winner to receive a prize, a something handmade by me?  And only two people left comments?  And I said that they both win?  Well I'm finally getting around to getting them their prizes.  This one is going to Cheryl, I haven't decided what to make for Patti yet.  What is this you ask?  I am calling it "Journal in a Box", I snatched the idea off Pinterest (yes I'm mentioning that two days in a row now).  Of course I modified mine and it doesn't really resemble the original but I'm sure it is just as fabulous.  Guess what else I'm going to do with these... Christmas presents!  I think they will make a great teacher gift!!!  In essence what a journal in a box includes is a cue card for every day of the year (hopefully) and each day you take that card out and write a little something on it.  A quote that you heard and loved, an idea, happy news/sad news, how you are feeling or something one of your adorable said that made you laugh.  There is space on this journal to write for many, many years to come!  Did you spot my error?  Yep, I stamped with 2011, so to cover my mistake I'm going to write on the card of the day that the project was completed, that I completed it on that day.  You do have to write which year you are writing about unless you have one of these handy dandy date stamps like I do.  You can also write birthdays on the top line so that you never forget a birthday.  The date stamp is a Smash product, I picked it up at Up the Street Scrapbooking no less, you could also get them at Staples (they're more expensive and not as cool).  This weekend is Tara's Open House at Up the Street, you should go!  I am!  Snow again today, yay!  E
