So I am hoping mine will be in the mail real soon or should be arriving real soon... I have been bragging about them and hope to get them bound and wrapped for Christmas presents. I still need to finish up the recipe album.. I am such a slacker..well I guess I do have an excuse... classes end Monday but my last final is on the 21st.

Hi everyone - Chris keeps mentioning I use my old planners for mini albums - and I do. just wanted to give you some hints. I remove the calendar off the page if it is on cardstock and not stuck down too well. Like on mine I just stapled my calendar page so it will be easy to remove. If it's too stuck you can cover with another piece of coordinating paper or pictures.

Hope this helps everyone recycle their planners next year:).

Oh - each year I tell myself I'm going to take a picture or two each month specfically to use with my recycled planner... haven't remembered to do it yet - lol.

Sarah, have the ones not being bound been mailed yet?? I am getting super excited and am dying to see them.

Yes, they have all been mailed!!! Everyone should receive them by Wednesday....they all went out Priority Mail.

Sorry for the delay...my adopted daughter had emergency surgery this past week (bowel obstruction) so I have been busy! Now my husband is really worried about me having gastric.....Kim had gastric a couple of years ago and they say that probably caused the obstruction (scar tissue). Yea, I know that it is one of the risks, but ANYONE can have one, not just those that have had gastric!

I'm in the process of scanning all the pages....will post them hopefully by tonite or tomorrow night. They all turned out beautifully!!

Oh yea, someone only did 12 of their month....I can't remember who! But I just shorted that person figuring they could redo their own!

THANKS everyone!!!

MIne got here Thurs. I sat in the parking lot after church with my lapdesk, cropadile and ribbons to punch them and put together with binder clip and take to christmas eve. WAS a hit! worth the time my son paced in the back of the truck!

12-26-2009, 08:23 PM

Mine also arrived thursday. Had already told my sister she had to wait til I figured out a way to bind them. And today worked on them a bit with my crop-a dile and going to just use the snap rings with ribbons. :) I had made the paper bag mini albums, and used the rings w/ ribbons, and they seemed to be a hit.
Thanks everyone for signing on these and Sarah for hosting it-- they are all adorable! Great work!

12-26-2009, 10:08 PM

Oh man Melody.. I am sure Sarah forgot you wanted yours bound, but you could just make three sets of holes and either use ribbon or binder rings.

Mine were a huge hit. My sistersa loved them and wanted me to make little cut outs for days to remember ;)

Sandra from NC

Mine were a hit too. My SIL and Niece both loved theirs. I kept one for myself;).

And I explained to my SIL and niece that they needed to use them for a mini-album later. My niece was very excited. She dabbles in scrapbooking - lol.

I told our friend she needed to take the pics of her grandson and cover the calendar page each month and she would have a gift for her son and Daughter in law next year. and she said NO WAY! it will be mine. haha.

She loved Lori's Military page because they are both military. kinda cool. it worked out well.

You can punch a hole in the ends like Lori did in a previous post and use big o-rings to hold it together.

Ok finally got the calander. The pages are wonderful! Thank you ladies, for all your hard work. I have a question, too. I was going to give this as a gift, it didn't get here in time for that. I wanted it bound because I havn't talked my DH into a Bind It All. It came unbound. It there a suggestion on how to put this together without it? If you could let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Jennifer

Jennifer, I am SO sorry! They were all mailed at the same time!!

As for binding....since I couldn't get them in my Bind It All....I took mine to Office Max and they bound them for less than $5. Or you could punch 2 or 3 holes and use the binder rings and tie pretty ribbon on them.

Again, I am sorry that yours was so slow in getting to you...it had to have gotten "lost" somewhere!!
