Just yesterday I was thinking about buying a planner to help me keep a better handle on my blog and personal/family commitments. The family uses a shared digital calendar but I feel the need for something personal as well especially for the blog and art stuff. All of a sudden I remembered the art calendar challenge. It honestly feels like more than 5 years ago but there it is…2014.
Take a look…
1/1/2015
December complete!
This challenge hosted by Kate has been a good one for me. I was able to stay on track and have ended up with a great keepsake from 2014.
From the start, I had the idea in my head of what I wanted the end product to look like.
After taking this photo I decided that perhaps gluing the pages together would give it more visual appeal. 
And I was right… In addition, it provided stability to the binding.
I’m in love with how this looks. I don’t want to come off as patting myself on the back but I have to admit that I’m so happy that my vision of this project actually came to fruition.

I might just be making myself a planner after all. We’ll see if I get inspired enough, quickly enough. HA!
Thanks for stopping by for Second on the 2nd.
I remember when you did this. In fact, you got me stamping my calendar days each month, too. It was SO time consuming and I loved what you did, but I didn’t have that much time to make my pages each month. After that year, I started using real calendar pages. But, thanks to you and your calendar you put together in 2014, you definitely pulled me out of my comfort zone. Congrats to you for that, and for this incredible entry you shared with us as your second on the 2nd, dear friend.
What a great idea to make a book out of your calendar pages. The end result looked lovely.
I’ve never made a calendar journal this way but I do love seeing everyone else’s. Thanks for showing the book journal you made them in. I never exactly knew what people used to make their calendars on/in. happy June. hugs-Erika
I don’t use a calendar at all, but it fascinates me to see the artistry in some I see online. Yours turned out beautifully, and I think you are justified in your pleasure in how you brought it about :)
Fantastic calendar. I haven’t seen it before, so it was good that you showed it. Happy 2nd on the 2nd, Valerie
I love seeing these how to book journals and your calender journal is awesome-thanks for sharing this again for a second look-first for me
Happy second on the 2nd Kathy
I love this, Halle!!! I’m so glad I joined 2nd on the 2nd this month. Because, not only did I see this fab idea, but I also learned (from Elizabeth) that I’ve been mispronouncing your name. I’m planting an image of holly in my head and linking it to my image of you ? Eileen xx
A very cool project and a very interesting binding.
