2009 Flip Desk Top Calendar

I have been creating a 2009 Calendar for our Inspirational Calendar Challenge over at the Shelf..... and FINALLY it is finished, wrapped and delivered to its new owner. I just LOVED how it turned out.... it took months and months but the end result was sooo worth it.I made the base from scratch with a few hiccups and different ideas at first but than finally worked out the design so that it would sit on the desk without toppling over, cause as the months go by most of the pages end up on one side.
This was a gift I gave to my boss as a special Christmas Present... No photos were added to the pages but she loved it and cant wait to find 12 special photos to add to the calendar. She will give it back to me and I will fix it all up for her, and maybe add a little something special to each of the photo pages. As I kept them plain as I was unsure what the photo might be to put on them later. I will enjoy getting this back and having another play with it..... I would also like to thank my friend Maria for lending me her "Bind it All".... this little thing gave me a little grief in the beginning but I should have listened to Maria's instructions LOL.

I can share with you a few pages but cannot show you them all as I will put one up each month on the SHELF...... In January we will be doing the month of March.
