How often have you had to look up someone's birthday or anniversary?  How often do you have to transfer those special dates from one Calendar to the next??  What a pain!  I have a solution to help you keep them all in ONE place, a perpetual calendar, that you re-use year after year!! EVENT CALENDAR I love these event calendars !!!  I have had mine for a couple years now, but sadly it was not fully decorated.  I had done a couple months, but the rest was left plain.  NOT ANYMORE!  I finally got around to completing the whole calendar.  Not only that, but I made 10 (TEN) of these!   You would think that decorating a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2 " square would be a piece of cake.... not so much!  I tried to add as much glitter & glitz as I could, without making the pages bulky!
