Oh my goodness! These are awesome! I wish I had time to CASE each of these. Calendars was one of the things I was going to make this year, but I doubt I'll have the time to do anything so elaborate - those are really pretty!

I'm going to reiterate Sue's directions. Mat or book board 5x7...each desk calendar is 2 panels with a 1/4" gutter. A sheet of 81/2 x 11 covers the front. Mine actually ended up 4.75 x 6.5 because of the size of my board.

The downloadable calendar info is here
http://www.red-castle.com/software/fw/printcal.htm
I set the calendar up to be 2.5 x 2.5" all of the months print on 1 sheet of 81/2 x 11. Cut the months apart and use clamps and book binding glue to pad them.

There are eyelets set on the bottom so that they don't spring open and fold over...tie with ribbon or whatever to keep them somewhat bent. OR just make flat wall hanging calendars...

Julie! These are wonderful. I love each one of them and I like your idea of standing them on end and decorating both sides. Great job!

This is wonderful. Should we move it to the reference section?
