Before you know it Christmas will be here, why not get a head start on your gift list? Everybody can use a helping hand to remember birthdays and anniversaries, and this little date reminder book is a great present for that hard to buy for person. [Mother-in-law, anyone? ;)]

Authentique has done a beautiful job with their new paper lines, and Unique certainly is lovely.

Pair the lovely prints with inking, punching, ribbons, flowers etc., and the finished result is an eye-pleaser.

This book is perpetual as, in addition to a full tutorial, I will provide a .pdf file of all the month pages.

Stay tuned for more details.
