Printable Monthly Calendars
It is no surprise to anyone who knows me that I am obsessed with stationary and office supplies. From notebooks to highlighters, they all make me so happy. Anything that can keep me on track both at work and in my personal life (and yes, I have notebooks and planners for both - work/life balance). Organization is a defeater of stress, and with the journey I have had with anxiety, stress is something I like to try and avoid whenever possible.
Over the last few years, I have had so much fun creating journals with my illustrations. It has been so satisfying to unbox those journals and see my art on soft covers (that are actually soft to the touch). With this stationary obsession, I have always wanted to create calendars and planners, along with journals. Not just to have my illustrations on the outside, but to create an interior with carefully curated pages that can help others stay organized and on track! It feels like a huge goal and while I have reviewed plenty of clever and unique planners, I have not yet started to research how I can physically produce my own. Feel free to toss me some tips!
The reality is that I am still getting a handle on the early stages of owning my own business and I’m living with a ‘one step at a time mindset.’
I do have a full-time job outside of this, a home, a husband, 3 cats - it’s a busy life.
That being said, here is the silly part… my dear friend (and Etsy expert) Neringa Pangonytė-Novikienė that helped me realize that I was missing a super simple first step to my goals of publishing my own stationary line! Something I could do right now! On my own! With little to no research! Silly me…
Introducing my newest product - Printable Monthly Calendars!
Last week, I began by creating December 2022 pages to get into the flow (50% off).
Now I have added January 2023 to Etsy…
and February 2023 is on the way!
I may accidentally create a whole calendar by the end of 2022!
Once you purchase the calendar page from Etsy, you will receive a link to download it as a PDF or JPG and you can print it out as many times as you like! It is your digital file to use as needed. You can use it to …
send out an itinerary to friends and family to organize an event
share your personal travel plans (as I did for my family during our July/August Wedding craze)
ensure that everyone knows important dates - like family birthdays and anniversaries
add some color and art to your office
In the January version, you will see I added a section for notes. In my own planning, I use note sections for all that I hope to accomplish in the month. Either I lay out specific to-do lists (make a vet appointment for next month), or general goals (organize the bathroom cupboard).
While it is a simple, little thing, I hope you like them and I hope they can make your life a little easier!
xxx, Kristin
