A new page in the calendar...

Having worked recently on a website I'll share with you shortly, the notion of posting to this blog floated to the top of my list.  I think I still have very little to say that's meaningful, but to distract you from that, I'll try and post some pretty pictures...

Some time about mid-summer, not having my calendar pages for the next year becomes intolerable.  So I haunt Staples until the Day Runner Month-at-a-Time refills are in, and once purchased, begin filling in many of the little boxes.

But then, sometime about October, the blog posts about wall calendars begin appearing, and I start planning my purchases.

Here are the calendars I know will grace my walls this year:

The Collectible Teapot.  I've purchased these every year since the late 90s.  These are the only calendars I can't bear to recycle at the end of the year.  This one lives in my kitchen.

This is a new purchase this year.  It will hang in the bedroom.  I think the cover shot is the best one in the calendar, but it will be fun to see the others each month.  I also might need that dress.

This one is a mini-calendar for my office.  Every year when I see this line of calendars in the store, the images are drool-worthy.  My kitchen does not look like this.

This calendar was an impulse buy from Once Upon A Paper.  It came in the form of a digital download - a 32-page PDF that has the calendar formatted in about 4 ways for your printing pleasure.  Each month is a tree in a similar format to the image above.  I've printed out two months per 8.5x11 page on white card stock, and then an 11x17 poster size for work.  Beautiful!
