Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone's first week of classes went well! I know I was so excited to get to Friday, but I am looking forward to the semester! Now this is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. Between my family and Josh's family, we have so many birthdays, some of which I have not even added yet! I fell in love with this birthday calendars when I first saw them on Etsy, but I definitely was not paying $60 for one! I mean, I am a broke college kid - I cannot be paying over half my paycheck for a decoration! No. Still, I really wanted one.

I mean, look at it. Sleek, effective, and easy to document everyone! I LOVE THEM!! So I took this idea, and ran with it.
I went to Joann's (one of my favorite places in the world) and bought a piece of Balsa board, some wooden stars, and then headed on over to Dollar Tree and bought me some twine. Altogether, I spent less than $10 on this project. That is definitely in my budget! And I came up with this!

I think it came out pretty nice!! I mean, for $10! The funniest thing was Josh telling me that I am too crafty to not be selling stuff like this! lol That really made my day! A sharpie and a little hot glue and this thing is now up on my wall, and keeping me straight on all the birthdays! Yay!! If you can't tell, May, September and December are the popular months. I think when Josh and I start planning on having children, we should try to shoot for a February due date! Or a June one! Not September, May or December! Maybe April! lol
