Calendar Girl

I did my 2007 dodecahedral calendar on neon yellow paper. I always keep one on my desk and find it rather handy indeed.

However, I'm none too happy with my 2007 wall calendar. I'm always surprised by how hard it is to find a wall calendar with a food theme. Don't lots of people hang calendars in their kitchens? Anyhow, I finally found this one, which has some nice still life photos of grapes, cheese, chocolate, etc. But, and this is a big but, the boxes for each day are much smaller than what I'm used to. I have a lot to write in each box, with all the kids activities and appointments and such, and it's cramped. I briefly considered tossing it and buying something else entirely, but I felt too guilty. So I'll just suffer every day for a whole year, what's the big deal.

God, that was difficult. I mean the calendar. I just spent a good half hour making one and had to cheat at the end by putting tape on the outside. And you do this every year? I don't think I'll have the energy to do it again for another few years at least.

But aren't you pleased with the result? ;-) I use a glue stick, and yes, the last few tabs are tricky to fold in. I end up sticking a pin in and kind of mashing the gluey tab to the opposite side. But then again, I love paper craft.

All this time I've been answering your comments off-blog because I assumed they were emailed.... But I guess the email gets sent automatically?

Anyway, the dodecahedron sits before me now, expecting nothing. It's pretty cool.
