Description:
It's the time of year when I start thinking about my 2008 Wall Calendar. The last few years I've had the Syracuse Cultural Workers Peace Calendar. This year I was thinking it might be nice to have a crafty calendar made just for me. I figured that if I wanted one there might be others out there who might want one too. That's where this swap comes in... The rules: Get a new wall calendar for 2008 & alter it for your partner. I'm imagining that each month's picture would be embellished in some way & that there will be fun little tidbits of info or pictures sprinkled in among the days. I'm giving a huge amount of time between sign-up & mail-out so we can squeeze it in between all of the other fabulous swaps in which we are participating. As it is by invitation only, I expect we will all end up with wonderful 2008 calendars! Woohoo! I found a great link to an Altered Calendar! It's beautiful, but please realize that very few of us are capable of producing work this fab! Don't let it intimidate you or prevent you from joining the swap. Seriously, I don't expect anyone to do anything this elaborate. It's just for inspiration.

Please beware..my weapons of craft produce some pretty loud items. ;)

Can we make our own calendar from scratch instead of altering one?

Cherries 09/ 3/2007 #

I would love to get a handmade personalized wall calendar!

However, since the swap invitations went out as altered new calendar, it might be a good idea to ask your partner when they are assigned if it's ok with her.

Brilliance, sweet brilliance Sandra! Thanks so much for hosting such a bad ass swap

In scrapbooking stores they sell completely blank calendars to alter , would this be acceptable to use instead of a pre-made?

blank calendars :)

Cherries 09/ 4/2007 #

Of course a blank calendar would be great to alter. As I have never been in a scrapbooking store I had no idea these were even available. I guess everything is available somewhere, isn't it?

Please, everybody say hello to our new transgender swapper...Walter, who has left the nunnery to become a gun-toting bad-ass!

Cherries 09/ 6/2007 #

EEK, Rude Nun has done something to Walter!

RudeNun 09/ 6/2007 #

He'll be back! There was some confusion, "he" kept waving his gun around yelling at people telling them, "This is bowling there are rules. Mark it ZERO!!!"

My alter ego is scary.

Cargo shorts are scary.

RudeNun 09/ 8/2007 #

Yes, they are, Walter also likes wearing a bandanna on his head when he's out to collect kidnapped victims. Beware, he throws suitcases full of his dirty undies at unsuspecting nihilists.

RudeNun 09/ 8/2007 #

I'm telling you, you guys should be glad I'm back.

Suzanne 09/21/2007 #

Ok. This is going to be interesting, considering I primarily work with fiber.

I am glad you put some sort of vote of confidence in my abilities by inviting me, cherrythepig.

I just now (months after starting) thought to take the staples out of my calendar pages. Just in case some of you hadn't considered it I'm passing my revelation along!

leiapico 11/28/2007 #

Oops. Crap. I accidentally clicked send. I haven't actually sent yet. I'll message you when I send, kiri.

leiapico 12/ 3/2007 #
