The clothespins make it easy to customize this calendar! You can transform the daily calendar to one that counts the weeks by substituting the labels.

I love the space-saving dual purpose of my new crafty peg board! (Now my most-used tools are really at my fingertips!)

Even though this peg-board project jumped out of the box from Canvas Corp, there  are lots of other projects just waiting for me...very exciting!

I am always looking for the perfect way to organize myself...especially when I'm planning a large event. The wonderful people at Canvas Corp recently sent me a goody box full of fun, crafty products and ideas for home decor projects. The one that really popped out was this peg-board calendar—I love it. You could use it as a calendar (which I'm going to try first), or as a place to pin up all your inspiration pics (mine come from Vogue, W, and other fashion magazines). I decided to get a big enough piece of peg board so I could use it as a "tool holder" as well.

Here's what you'll need:

• A piece of peg board (I got my 2-foot x 4-foot piece at the Home Depot)
• Spray paint in a color of your choice
• Heavy grosgrain or woven 3/8-inch ribbon
• Large-eye needle
• Clothespins (mine are from Canvas Corp—all painted and ready to go!)
• Hooks for the peg board (if you're going to use it as a tool organizer)

I started with my white peg board—you can leave it white if you like. Mine was a little dirty and my walls are white, so I decided to use some of the spray paint I had left over from the stenciled tablecloth to give it some pizzazz!

You can cut the peg board to a size that fits your room. In addition to smaller precut sizes, you can get it as a 4-foot x 8-foot sheet.

It was a beautiful day, so I took my peg board outside to paint it.

In addition to the peg board, I bought some metal hooks and heavy woven ribbon.

Make sure the hooks match the holes in your peg board. You can get 1/8-inch or 1/4-inch holes. I think the smaller hooks work in the larger holes (but not vice versa).

Can't wait to do this and clean up the clutter around the house and searching for lost notes . Have a spot on the wall and don't feel like painting just yet , what a great cover up . Using colored paper to idenify different things also . Wow can think of hundreds of uses for this . Winter is coming and this is a great project to work on . Then again why wait for winter .
This can be done on the next rainy day .
