Ok, back to the post (lol!). While commenting last week, I ran across this Christmas Mini Envelope Book Tutorial from Sarah's Little Snippets. It was AMAZING!

I love your album, it is really pretty and full of love. I love the big photo of one of your daughters with the leaf how clear and sweet is that. She will cherish this gift.
I see you like Lisa also, she is a hoot. It is fun to see what she comes up with everyday!

Rene, this is beautiful! and what a great idea to turn it into a calendar!! I love it :)
Thank you for the shout out :) I'm glad you liked my tutorial. Sorry I haven't been to visit you sooner...I've been desperately getting things ready for the school craft fair and blogging has been relegated to the bottom of the list :( I'd love to put a link to your calendar in my blog post if that's ok with you?

Shut the front door!!! OMG...envelopes??? That's crazy talk. I had the BEST time snooping on your pictures Rene. Those are ADORABLE and look how HOT you are in that family photo. LOVE that!! I'm like a slug these past few days and I apologize for taking soooo long to get my butt over here, but I promise, mum is the word. If I see grammy in town, I won't udder or is that utter, I get those confused..a word! She's gonna freak! So cute!
Your POTW too...how smart is Angela..that's adorable. :)
hugs to you,
your MO friend,
xx
p.s. I just spell checked and the correct choice would be utter. However, my udders are muzzled, so we're safe either way! ;) Bwahahahahaha...
