Ok, time for those 2010 calendars to come down. Let's turn them into something else!

Some examples: handmade envelopes, themed stationery, bookmarks, postcards, notecards, a book cover, journal cover, a "new" picture book, recipe holder, a purse, a dress?????

Be creative!

Did you know, that If you have a calendar from 2005, 1994, 1983, 1977, 1966, 1955, 1949, 1938, 1927, or 1921, you can actually REUSE that calendar for 2011!!!!

Must be member in good standing. Since you only have one partner, please make a super nice project. (Not just a few envelopes... make it something you'd say WOW to, if you received it.)

I recently found a brand-new calendar from 2000 and noticed that the year starts on the same day as 2011 - but then I realized that 2000 was a leap year so I could only use it for 2 months. So much for thriftiness!

woohoo... i've been a busy little crafter today... whoever I send to, will be getting 13 notecards with matching envelopes, two bookmarks, two gift tags, and maybe a few other items...(I had a big calendar haha!). I had fun today!

Are you ready to Rock N Roll? (or Reuse N Recycle, in this case?)

Hey gang.... I'm moving the SEND BY Date to Tuesday since Monday is a NO MAIL holiday. Hope all is going well with y'all!

I'm having so much fun with this swap and keep coming up with more ideas. I've now collected calendars from family and friends because I can see how useful they are for crafting all during the year. Thanks so much for this swap!
