I look forward to getting a new one (well, actually... several!) when the new year rolls around.
I buy one for my kitchen. I try to look for a "nice" one that matches the colors in my house. On it, I only write the birthdays of our family and friends. This year, I bought this one to hang on my wall ---
Last year, I had one that was similar, but buy a different artist.
I also buy one for my office. I gave up on trying to find one that "matches" the room, and just look for one that I like instead. For the past few years I have gone with one that was "cute". This year, I picked one that has pretty photographs, instead. Here's a picture of the one that I picked to hang in my office.
I love porches and the beauty that comes with them! Like the calendar in my kitchen... I will only write birthday's of my family and friends. I may add a few "other" friends to this calendar, as well.
I usually don't carry a "pocket calendar", although... I should! I have just never liked having to write in those tiny little boxes that only pocket calendars can provide. This year, I received one from one of my students. We'll see how I do with it!
My favorite calendar is the one that I write EVERYTHING down on!! I like for it to have big blocks in which to write, but I also like for it to be portable. This past year, I had this one....
I liked how it was "spiral bound" and that it had tabs and big blocks to write in. It also had a beach theme, which was nice. I use this calendar to write down ALL of my appointments and upcoming events. These are the calendars in which I SAVE, because I can look back years later and it is kind of like a "diary" of our family's life for that year. I have calendar's from way back when I was in high school, believe it or not! I can't say that I have one for every year since then, but I have many of them!
This is the one that I bought for my EVERYTHING CALENDAR for this year.
I really liked the look of it, (and... it was cheap!) but, I am kinda' wishin' it was spiral bound like last years was. I don't know. We'll have to see how it goes. Last year, I think I bought three before I was finally happy with the one that I actually used! LOL!
I have tried using "daily" and "weekly" calendars, but always go back to the "monthly" ones.
What about you???
Do you enjoy buying a new calendar each year?
Do you buy or use more than one?
Which kind do you prefer?
Waow - love the look of your new year Blog!!! I went into blogmation, but could only get those silly fireworks, but yours is something else!! If I can find it, I might just borrow it for a day! Honestly, I just love calendars as well. Last year, I had country cottages, with pretty photos of thatched cottages all over the country, and this year, I've bought one with photos of lovely gardens. My friend bought me a slim one called Born to Shop and each month has different little comments, like You Can't have too many friends or pairs of shoes!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Feel free to "borrow". I don't mind! I found this one at Scrappinblogs.com. I usually find something I like there. I plan on changing it again after the new year to a winter theme. ~ I love your fireworks! I should add those to mine! ;) ~ I like your "Born to Shop" calendar! Sounds like me!! Hahaa!
ReplyDeletei love calendars to my favorite are the redneck ones and Maxine i love maxine
ReplyDeleteHey Becky,
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!!We sure did! I have just been so neglectful of my blog its not even funny. I love that you have and obsession for Calendars, because I love mine too!!! Every Christmas for the last four years I take all the family photos that people have sent me and using my own and I create the Family Calendar as a Christmas gift. The family now looks forward to getting our calendar that I created on Shutterfly. I make a special one for Matt and I, this years mainly using all of our great wedding photos. That maybe a fun idea for you to try out for your office calendar? Well I’m glad to see things have been well for you. Happy New Years!!!!
Hi Becca ~ Those calendars are fun, too! Happy New year!
ReplyDeleteHi Heather ~ Don't feel bad. I am WAYYYY behind in reading the blogs that I follow, too! I've been off work for the past two weeks and you would think I would have lots of "free" time, but... nope. I've been incredibly busy! ~ I love the idea of making a photo calendar! I did that once before, but I actually scrapbooked it. This was before the wonderful idea of having one created online was around! (Showing my age! Ha!!) You're right, tho. I should think about doing that again! ~ Happy New year to you, as well!
I like your Happy New Year background! I still can't figure out how to do it. I have even looked for a new background tonite. I guess I'm afraid of messing it up. Love your new calendars. I'm a calendar freak myself and I make one every month for our refrigerator. Happy New Year Becky-I really enjoyed your Christmas pictures.
ReplyDeleteAwww... Thanks, Susan! I wish I could help you figure out how to change your background. It really is easy, once you know how to do it. I just wish there was an easier way for me to HELP you do it! :) ~ Happy New Year to you, as well!!
