Creative gift ideas part three

Are you ready for part three?  Let's get started with this post and finish up all of this. Almost three months later.  I have been busy as most everyone else in the world is. 


Calendar Journal

I thought this would be great for anyone who has a new baby or even a newlywed.  You could also use this as a blessings journal.  The idea is to write down something (quickly) that happened that day.  You keep it for 10 years and each year you can look back to see what was happening each day in your life.  I actually made two of these.  One for myself and one for a gift.  I can't post pics until after Christmas because one is a gift.  I will include a couple of links to show the different versions people are making.  For dividers you could use greeting cards or even pictures to divide the months.

I am going to post this for now.  I might go back and edit it later.  I have found so many other things that would be cute and great gifts.  Not just at Christmas but for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.  I know that I have forgotten a few things but this will get everyone started thinking about fun, creative gift ideas for others.  Gifts should be from the heart not just because we feel the need to do so.
