I bundled up my 2008 desk calendar and brought it home yesterday. I'm going to make a front and back cover for it, add binder rings and voila...I will have encapsulated a year in my life.
Keeping a visual record of my year was fun. Some days the entries were just doodles, some days I recorded the day's happenings and some days I used the calendar as a place to vent.
My 2009 calendar is waiting for me....I'll do this again next year.
I thought you might like a look.

That's a good idea. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou have just inspired me! I have written in and saved my daily calendar for the past 10 or so years (started when I was worried about losing my memeory!) but I never got the large size calendar to draw on...altho I'm not an artist like you are I am doing it! I checked out your flickr site and your art work is great! Love your new header!

You have a calendar like no other! It should go to the Smithsonion - right next to the ruby slippers!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your journaling. Muse Swings told me I should come over for a look. She was right this is fantastic. Very powerful stuff on such a small scale.
ReplyDeleteMy Boss uses this type of calendar. I will never look at it the same way again. She better not leave any pages blank or I might sneak in a drawing or two. Ha...
I wish you the best of 2009...
What clever idea... something to treasure. You're such a talented, creative lady.
ReplyDeleteI love this! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Hope you show the finished book
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea! Your drawings are so colorful and it will be fun to look back at 2008 in a few yeasr.
ReplyDeleteI received your e-mail and I promise I'll put together a few ideas soon. Today was hectic and I'm so tired.
Awesome.Awesome.Awesome.
ReplyDeleteVery cool sketches
ReplyDeleteThis is really a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteBut I hav difficulties in buying the same calendar page as yours.
Luckily I found a calendar which is day by page & pages.
I'm starting it in the New Year too.
Besides, I really admire at your sketching, I also want to train myself on this new year too.
