practically stolen :: calendars

confession: i'm a little cheap when it comes to calendars. every year i wait until they're on sale for 50% off. i got this on saturday for $15 at paper source and i just love it! it totally brightens up my apartment and on the back of each page there's a template for cutting them up and using them for boxes and cards - bonus.

how cute are the sheep for march? bring on spring!

Loving Nikki McClure...

How much do you love these images? She's a local-ish artist from Olympia, WA and for the past few years, one Christmas gift I can usually count on is a Nikki McClure calendar (thanks, mom!). I love starting each month with one of her simple images and a single word. It's almost like setting an intention for the month. She also has originals, children's books, prints, notecards, etc.. Amazingly enough, she creates these images using an X-acto knife and a single sheet of paper.







If there's a baby in your life, I highly recommend this board book . . . It makes it about halfway through the alphabet, starting with Awake and ending with Nap. Too cute.
