Well today the fun in the sun ends and we head back home to Edmonton. I'm always anxious to get home and see everyone but once I see all is okay, I want to turn back! lol!
I'm sure I'll have some pictures to share with you later this week.
Today I'm sharing a project I made using the Mini Binder Boxes that are available from Taylored Expressions.
I wanted to show something else you could do with it, other than storing some fabulous TE stamps ;)
A few years back I made quite a few birthday calendars using 5 x 9 open ended envelopes BUT they didn't hold up too well with all the shuffling I did from place to place. I'm thinking the one I made my Grandmother hasn't lasted either so I've made her a replacement!
These binder boxes are super sturdy yet easy enough for her to open. She has arthritis and has had difficulty with the simpliest of tasks....like opening things. I've decorated the outside and inside using some fun Crate Paper that I've had on my shelf for a long time. The adorable images are from the Beary Special and Beary Special Accessories.

On the inside I created some pockets that hold little mini calendars so Grandma can write down all her kids, grandkids and now great-grandkids birthdays along with others. The holes for the pockets were punched with a 1/4" circle punch...it fits perfectly around the stems of the binder box! There are 6 pockets in total. I think I'll throw in a bunch of cute TE cards in the back to get Grandma started!
I think I want to purchase another box to store my nesties in too! Be sure to stop by half of the Baker's Dozen to see what they have created for you today! I can't wait to get home and see for myself!Denise Marzec
