    2. Hi Pam,
      Just visiting your blog for the first time. Love your projects and especially the desk calendar. Can you tell me where you purchased or found the pen holder you used? I have never seen that special little touch before! Lu-Ann

    3. I bought the pen holders at Walmart here in the US. Maybe an office supply shop would have them in the UK. The pen holders are very handy. They come with adhesive on the back. Good luck finding them.
