Gift Giving 2009

I make one of these little books every year and each year they are different.  I have only remembered to take photos of them for the past couple of years.....duh!  This is the 2009 version of my Christmas gift register, where I record what I have bought for everyone and can mark things off when I wrap them.  It keeps me organized, and keeps me sane during an insane time of the year.

I used the Mistletoe collection by Making Memories this year, and because they had such a wide variety of fun embellishments, I could use a lot of different things to decorate it.  There is one stamp I used.....the Gifts Checklist stamp by Teresa Collins on the cover.  I also dug out my Dymo label maker to label all of the tabbed pages with each person's name or group of names.
