12 Weeks of Christmas – A Calendar Gift Card Reminds Someone You Care All Year Long!

Calendars are a great gift for teachers, administrative assistants or anyone who spends a lot of time sitting at a desk or that friend who just never knows what day of the week it is.  It is also something they will use all year long which is my kind of gift!

I did a similar project last year and once again High Performance Marketing is printing these calendars for me.  They are $1 each or $0.80 if you order 25 or more. Postage is not included. If you live in the Raleigh, NC area you can pop by and pick them up.  

Check out all the directions for this project below.As always, please let me know if you have questions or need help purchasing any of the supplies to make this or any of your other holiday projects.  That’s my job and I love what I do!
