Early Christmas gift idea

I have seen those cute glass dry erase calendars. Not to long ago I found this cute one from Not So Idle Hands and loved it! But I need one small enough to sit on my desk at work. So I bought a inexpensive 5x7 frame from that evil "W" place for $2.50.

Then I downloaded this free calendar grid.


I removed the glass from the frame. Laid the glass on top of the calendar and used a ruler and black sharp to draw the lines on the inside of the glass. I was doing it mirror image, so for the last two day boxes, I moved them to the opposite corner. If you make a mistake, a little glass cleaner and paper towel will take it right off.

Then when I replaced the glass I had this.


Then I raided my scrap paper stash and picked out something to represent each month. I used my straight edge to cut them to 5x7.



They store in the frame behind the current month and I can change them with each new month.

Then I fill in the days of the week and the numbers and month with a dry erase marker and I get this.


I plan to use a different colored dry erase marker to write my reminders on the calender.

Super easy and inexpensive. These would be great co worker gifts and I think that this might be what I give the kids teachers for Christmas!
