Last Christmas, I had some homemade gifts ready for my family. The previous year, my husband was really disappointed because he didn’t get a desk calendar from me. So now, I had to make this up, I altered a desk album into a desk calendar using some fabulous paint from Tattered Angels called Dove. This is a really fast and easy project but with some wonderful result! – says Vicky.
