I'm SO excited to share the following projects with you for a couple of reasons! One, they benefit a very worthy cause (more about that below)...and two, well...they are soooo fun!! I'm talking bout the 2008-2009 A Muse Calendars!!
Last year, Linda Carnell, owner of A Muse, designed a calendar to raise funds for Scleroderma Research, an illness her mother suffers from. The project was so successful, that she was determined to expand the variety of calendars, and find another great cause to support!
In honor of Victoria Nelson, an avid fan of A Muse, who is undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s Disease, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this year’s calendar will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
This year’s Calendar features 16 months and includes Sept 2008 through December 2009. It also includes a perpetual calendar which is great for keeping track of birthdays and anniversaries. The calendar has been designed in several different sizes.
There are THREE donation levels per calendar. The minimum donation is $4 per calendar, but, there is also an option to donate $10 or $20 for each version.
I just love the versatility of these calendars!! For my first sample, I used the Perpetual Calendar (square format) to create an important dates notebook.
Here is a picture of one of the inside pages.
When I first saw these calendars, I thought it would be fun to just print just one month and use it on a card...for an invitation or even a birthday card! Here, I used it for a Halloween party invite and just highlighted the 31st! :-)
What a wonderful way to create fun gifts and projects for friends and family (and even yourself :-) while contributing to a great cause as well!!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your Monday! ~Laurie
