2013 Wall Calendar

Five years I made a wall calendar for our parents and my grandmother for Christmas. They loved it so much, that I've been making one each year, ever since. This time of the year, I'm always busy finishing up the calendar, and concinving DH that we need to take a few more pictures (that's what happens when you have a husband who refuses to take pictures regularly throughout the year.. sigh...). I usually manage to recycle some of my favorite LOs of the year into calendar toppers (just remove journaling and title, and add month), but I always have to make a few new pages too. Which is why you've been seeing so many LOs of DH and me lately. :) Anyway, I am now DONE with the calendars; the order is placed. Phew!

If you're pressed for time, you should check out these great quick pages:


I made a few of the ones in there. :) Like this one, for example:

This year, I went with a different look for the cover! I was inspired by all the painty goodies in the October BYOC. Totally not my usual style, but I love how it turned out!
