The 2015 Charlie Calendar + Giveaway!
2015 Charlie Calendars are here! I say this every year, but this one is my favorite yet. It’s been printed the old fashioned way, on a press, by my beloved, family-run, local print shop. The printing press creates images of such high quality, the calendar pages can be saved and framed individually if desired. It’s gorgeous. I’m so pleased with it!

This strange year. I feel like I’ve been walking in the moonlight all year, and can only clearly see three feet in front of me. Everything else is dark. I’m learning to trust that once I take the steps I can see, the next steps will be illuminated. Little by little. Step by step. I’ve not written much here all year; instead, I’ve been fumbling around in the dark, getting bruised, and sitting in stillness, gazing at the moon. What about you? What’s the year been like for you? I’d love to hear, whether it’s three words or three paragraphs, whatever you would like to share in the comment section.
Next weekend, I’ll pick five comments at random and send off five deluxe Wyoming care packages (I love making these!) (please make sure your email address is correct when commenting – I’m the only one who sees it). Care packages will be full of Charlie love and Wyoming magic, and a calendar, of course.
Bought Myself Some Spring
New: Notepads!
Printing my calendars on a press this year was so interesting – I’m going to photograph the entire process next year and share it here. Printing on a press is a lot like rolling out dough – it’s a process done by hand with the help of a tool (rolling pin / printing press). The middle is uniform, but the edges are imperfect. Just as the edges of rolled-out dough might be irregular – a bit thinner or thicker, a bit jagged – so are the first and last prints done on a press. And so extras are always made so these imperfect prints can be culled.
I was at my printer’s one day, after I’d picked up the calendars, and saw this stack of random prints from my calendars, and they explained this process. I looked through the stack of loose prints, and saw that some of them were absolutely perfect – they were just extras, with not enough partners to make a full calendar – and it felt a shame to have them thrown away. So I pulled out all the beautiful prints and asked my printer to turn them into notepads.
I love these! I love them even more than the calendars. They’re great toss-around doodle pads, perfect for kids, and I’ll be keeping one by my bed for midnight thoughts. Since “upcycling” was my goal and the cover of each pad is an unused calendar page, it does have a month calendar grid printed on the back. But who cares about the back of the cover of a notepad, especially when the front of the cover is so beautiful!
Perfect stocking stuffers, just $5 each ~ find ’em in the Shop.
EDIT: And they’ve sold out! Wow, and thank you.

They’re back! This year, I’ve changed everything about the calendar – except the star, of course, though I have added a few new stars with the Farmily calendar.
The calendars are bigger (8.5″ by 25″ hanging), spiral bound, on thicker paper stock, and printed the old fashioned way, on a press. This technique creates images of such high quality, they can be saved and framed individually, if desired.
