Dates, Dates and More Dates!

Every year I ask my children for lists for Christmas ideas.  Every year I wait and wait.  This year one son and DIL said they didn't want anything except date ideas.  Wow!  What was I going to do with that one!?  I thought a while and came up with something I think is really fun. I took 12 large envelopes, 1 for each month of the year, and labeled them.  I used Penny Duncan's shaplies to make the backing for the name of each month.  Thank you Penny!  Then I placed a pocket on the front of each envelope.



In each front pocket I place a card with the instructions for that particular date and inside the envelopes I put the "ingredients" for that date.  Here are just a couple of examples.




For the remaining date ideas, I made a small book and listed them all in that.  It seems that everything is an "ology" anymore, so I titled the book "Dateology".  There are enough ideas for every week of the year with a few left over!




I sure hope they like it...and you too!  Thank you for stopping by to have a peek and have a very Merry Christmas!

    1. Of course you can use it! And I would LOVE to see you! But when you ask did I put anything in the boxes, what are you talking about? I am not too clear on that one!
