I also design 12x12 calendars that you can use year after year. There are twelve designs, one for each month of the year. (See January above.) Or, I also have seasonal prints available that come in a package of four for spring, summer, winter, and fall. Below is a picture of the fall print. I purchased a 12 x 12 plastic calendar overlay at a nearby craft store that fits directly over the print. I also purchased an unfinished wooden frame that fits the 12 x 12 print, painted it black, and sanded it for a more antiqued look. Under the print is a 12 x 12 metal sheet that can also be purchased at most craft stores. I glued it directly to the inside of the frame using Amazing E-6000. (again, the neighbors house :)) The print lays on top, and the clear plastic calendar sheet over that. These are held on with magnets. You will need a Bistro Chalk Marker to write the dates on the plastic sheet. This wipes off easily with a damp cloth. I also sell a print with special holidays, names of the months (for the seasonal calendar prints), and several events that are bound to happen in your busy life. These are circles and ovals that you cut out and glue onto the flat side of glass drops,(also available at craft stores) using rubber cement. Once it is dry, you can glue a small circle magnet to the back using Amazing E-6000. This is a good activity for your children to get involved in. Not only will they love it, it will keep them off the cumputer for awhile! :)
