It’s that time of year again, my effin birthday.

Time to make my Mommy a gift!

Not that long ago I read a blog post about how lame it is to give momma a gift on your birthday. It was dripping with (what I percieved to be) selfishness and lots of silly points made about why we are deserving of gifts every year on the day of our birth.

What-Eva!

As usual, I’ve made my mother something I consider useful and I hope she likes it! Of course I also made one for my aunt since her birthday is the day after mine and she’s so awesome she deserves a gift even when it’s not her birthday!

This year I chose a shopping notelet. It’s something I actually use myself and it’s based off something I came across here at Pink Chalk Studio. It is my own pattern though, I drafted it around the mini legal pad and added what I thought to be useful.    

It’s got 2 generous pockets to fit sale papers and coupons and even a pocket for a pen/pencil. It’s actually really useful when meal planning!
