Hi there, my name is Melissa and I have permission from Renee to offer November's kit which is a Chipboard Calendar. The kit will include everything to make a cute calendar that would look great on any desk or shelf. I am making some for my coworkers for Christmas and thought I would share the idea with you. If you are interested please let me know. The cost is $8.00 per kit. I take money orders, cash, and will let you know when I am able to accept paypal (still setting that up). However please include extra to cover the paypal fee. I have attached some pics of what is included. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please also note that I work 4 long days. I do check messages everyday but just later in the evening. So I will get back to you. Thank you and happy scrapping!

PS. One of the pictures shows some stamps, these are not included in the kit, they are some of the images that will be stamped on the calandar part.

here is what is included in the kit
and here is an example of the finished product:

so please stop over to her blog and show her some love!

I am a stay at home wife and I have 3 stepchildren . I have been crafting forever I love all crafts from the needle arts to the paper crafts but my favorite is card making followed by scrapbooking. I have a craftroom that is my little getaway where I work on projects and it is also a great place to store my crafting stash (that is always growing). I love going to crops especially at Archivers although I get little accomplished due to the fact I do more talking and shopping then cropping.

I am also a Card Angel for the Chemoangel organization it is a organization that pairs volunteers with cancer victims going through treatment. I send a weekly card or letter to my buddy and sometimes a small gift it is a very rewarding activity. I am currently with my second buddy and happy to report my first buddy has successfully gone through treatment and is cancer free..

I could spend all day on the computer going to my favorite sites (Tallyscrapper,Splitcoast stampers) and also my favorite blogs too many to mention. I have recently started my own blog aliciadelanodesignsblogspot and I have also set up shops on ebay and etsy all under aliciadelanodesigns. I love doing favors for bridal and baby showers everything from the invite to decor. I would love to be a party planner for small events. I enjoy crafting and try to get as many friends and family that I can involved because it is always better with friends.

and here are a few pieces of her favorite things!
