2011 Calendar

We usually will receive free calendar for the new year from the county. However, there wasn't any this year... (budget issue?) I have never buy calendar. Back home in Singapore, you'll get new one from several sources, the gas company whom we order the gas cylinder (for the stove) from, the banks or just bring home some from the office (the office was usually just flooded with calendars!). Sometimes we will even get them as free gifts when we buy products like rice. I guess in Singapore, calendars are used as one of the marketing tools.

Here in Sweden, I'm not sure where we can get free calendar, or even if free calendar exists! Since we don't have any and I definitely am not willing to spend more than 100SEK just to buy a calendar, I decided to make my own! ^.^

I got the templates from a free printable calendar website (there's plenty out there!) and within minutes, I've got a new personalized calendar!

January...

February...
May....

December...
I've used some pictures of my crafts, holiday pictures of us enjoying ourselves (for the summer months!) and pictures of my love ones for the months when they have their birthdays. Initially I wanted to use pictures of my favorite food in Singapore to celebrate the foodie in me! :P But after considering that it may be really tough for me if I decide to finally go on a diet, I trashed the idea... :D I've also colored the public holidays in red, special days like father's day, mother's day, Christmas eve, etc are in yellow and friends and family's birthdays are marked with a purple heart!

Go on, make yourself your own calendar today! ^.^
