I have spent way too much time in my life looking for the perfect day planners/calendars.
I love my paper calendars. I need them. I need to scribble and make lists. LOTS of lists. I need to use my medium bic blue ball point pens.
After searching everywhere for a book that included a month at a glance, week at a glance and plenty of note taking space, I screamed one last time and decided to take matters into my own hands.
The concept was my idea (with inspiration from past Staples calendar that they stopped making) and the genius behind the layout and creation was Julia’s.
Since the printer messed up on the first batch (with minor margin issues) we have 2, slightly imperfect calendars to giveaway. The calendar months go through February of next year.
To enter leave a comment on this post and to double your chances leave one on Julia’s blog as well. We will pick the winners and mail you these beauties asap. Entries can be made until Tuesday, Feb 23 midnight PST.
Cover is made of thick frosted plastic There is a 2010 and 2011 year at a glance..which I use to keep track of potential jobs & booked jobs. I love being able to see my whole year in one place.
Month at a glance with a facing blank page for notes (print flaw, far right numbers cut off…)
Week at a glance with a blank page for notes

Good luck fellow list makers.

i’m in love with that notes section!! i think the one that is treating me pretty well right now contains 3 pages of notes and i’m pretty sure that those pages ran dry after 3 weeks into my use of it. this one is fabulous; uneven margains in all =)
thanks for sharing Rach!

I’ve been searching for the perfect calendar, as well.
The moleskin planner is the closest that I have found, but it’s too small to hold my chaotic life between its covers.
Looks like you may have hit the nail on the head.
If I don’t win, is there a way to purchase one?
