This is my new countdown board!
I got the idea for this from a post on the DIS. My friend Leah helped me by designing it all on her Silhouette (like a Cricut but not limited by cartridges). I brought my cardstock over and she set her machine to work. Then later I glued all the circles together. I found the memo board on clearance at Target for $1.95!!!!! I bought a roll of self-stick magnetic tape and affixed it to the back of each piece. The ears are interchangeable digits 0-9, and since it's all magnetic with the center of the head saying "Days Until", we can use it to countdown to anything! The memo board makes it handy to jot important dates--like when to make ADRs... LOL
Because you can only count double digits, I used some leftover digits and a leftover black circle to allow me to count down from 199 days.
Pretty proud of it!

I know it's going to get lots of use when Bill has to go back to sea duty.
