December Calendars!

Hello everyone! Welcome to December. Here are three, very holiday-ish, calendars for the month. Cynthia and I hope you enjoy them. After much discussion we have decided that this month will be our last month working together to bring these calendars to you. We’ve done them for free now for almost three years and we’re just thinking it’s time to be done. I know this will disappoint people but there are lots of people out there who make cool desktop calendars. If I can figure out how she made them I might play around with them a bit and see what I can do but don’t hold me to it. I’ve been so busy with my photography business I rarely take any other pictures throughout the month! I’m still dyeing up a bunch of yarn but seem to always forget to shoot it before it goes out the door. So….with that said, here are the last three calendars from us.  We’ve really enjoyed doing it but we both just felt like it was a good time to be done with this little project.

    Scout, I admit that I didn’t ever download the calendars (I’m partial to the photos I have on my work and home machines already), but I always enjoyed seeing what you and Cynthia would come up with. Thank you both for sharing your talents with us.

    The third one is beautiful and is adorning my work computer. It is sad that you are no longer going to provide them, but I totally understand. Thank you for brightening my dreary cubicle life for so many months. We really appreciate you and Cynthia both!!

    I have loved your calendars every month for the past three years, but I can understand that it’s time for you to be done! Thank you for bringing them to us for so long now! They will be missed.

    The icicles are coming home to my desktop, and they just may stay long after December is through. I will miss the beauty you bring me every month but I absolutely understand your decision to quit.
    Thank you so much.

    I took them all, as I always have.

    Thank you both for giving them away for all these years. They’ve brightened my desktops and made me smile.

    Thanks to you both so much for the calendars all this time. I have looked forward to them, loved them, and have used one or more versions every month. I have always looked forward to being surprised by what you come up with. So lovely. Like a little present :-) Thank you for gifting them all these years–please know it’s been appreciated (and I totally understand about being “done”!). XO

    You ladies have outdone yourselves this time. All three are fab and a great way to “go out in style”. I appreciate, as I’m sure everyone does, all of the effort that the two of you have put into these calendars. They will be missed, but it’s been a good run!

    I look forward to these calendars every month! There are about 10 different computers I work from, so I will end up using all 3. People always comment on how pretty they are - although sometimes they make comments like “It’s still May in Karen’s world!”. They will be missed!

    Sad, so sad. I took the top one for work, but really love the bottom one, too!

    I never really cared about the calendar parts anyway, although that was nice — the beauty was the draw for me, especially yarn beauties!

    Thanks to both you and Cynthia for the hard work on these, and I will miss them in the future!

    Thanks for the calendars, I used them every month.

    I image Cynthia used Adobe Illustrator or something similiar to create the calendars.

    I totally understand why you might stop doing this, as I’m sure that it’s time-consuming for you both. But I must admit that I will really miss these lovely calendars; I’ve downloaded one each month for the past few years, and they’ve made my desktop beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing these with us for such a long time!

    Thanks so much for sharing these calendars the past few years. I’ve really loved using them! I’ve chosen the last image to use in the first half of the month, and I’ll switch to the Christmas lights for the second half.

    Like the others, I want to thank you for the wonderful desktop pictures you and Cynthia have provided for my Mac the last several months. I wish I would have discovered them a bit sooner. For those of us that still wish for these.. would you consider posting the photos and artwork without the calendar? I miss your unique desktop patterns.. perhaps a greatest hits gallery without the calendars would fill the bill.
