2012 Calendar + GIVEAWAY! + Back to School

{sunshine girl: 1st grade: showing off her kitty lunchbox, which she refuses to put in her backpack to ensure that people will see it & admire it... oh, the effects of first grade peer pressure... first day she wanted to come home & put a headband in her hair & wear a certain color the next day!}


{my favorite little mister: fresh mohawk to begin 3rd grade: this picture cracks me up, as he is yawning in the line to go into school, even though he's been up (like EVERY day) since oh, you know, 6:30 a.m. he is my early bird morning person, so to catch him yawning was funny}

{pumpkin-poos: 3 yr old preschool: soooo excited about school & anything to possibly do to be more like her brother & sister! the teachers make fun of the backpack i got for her, saying, "someday she will grow into it!"}

well, with the start of the school year that meant the start of me filling out my family calendar & it got me thinking how i have not shared my calendar with you all since it has officially hit stores! it is getting good response & i have a limited quantity here to sell, so if you are interested either contact me or purchase your signed copy here.

{this is the cover}

{and these are the sample pockets, though everything has flipped due to the publisher adding a second pocket at the last minute & thus flipping these front pockets to go the other way... just a disclaimer}

these calendars make great gifts, either to yourself or a friend, coworker, teacher, church leader, etc... a very affordable way to get a lot of my art up on your walls & with a touch of color!

they are very practical in that each month has 2 pockets at the bottom of the grid, in which you can store bills, invitations, coupons, etc... & each & every day, you will be encouraged with truth from Scripture!

i am also going to be giving away one calendar this week!
