I ended up wanting something a little fancier than a cookie sheet calendar, so below, you will see what I came up with.
Basically, I found a beautiful large walnut frame for 50% off at Michaels (it came to around $25).
I drew a calendar grid inside along with a section for notes and reminders on the inside of the glass with a Sharpie.
I picked out scrapbook papers that coordinated for each month, then using a 1 1/4 punch, cut out squares and circles, depending on the month.
I got a pack of rub-on calendar numbers from Roberts Craft Store when I was in Utah on vacation.
The last part was to get plain ivory scrapbook paper, then lay out the month and stick on the shapes with that blue tacky stuff (because I want to re-use them). It is great to write on because you can just use a dry-erase marker to write in the squares. I just switch out the papers every month for a new look every time.
This is a fun project, but a little time-consuming. The only bad part is that because it is only one month at a time, you cannot write things in for future months. I either write it in the reminders section, or I have a little planner I keep the in the dresser right below. It works for me!
