This is my "collection" of ME Calendars. I have wall calendars from 1989 through 2003. You might be asking yourself..."why does she save them?" Well, for me they are a wealth of artwork that I can "upcycle" into something, someday. I'm actually going to be participating in a Christmas box exchange with fellow bloggers soon. For that I will need something to decorate my ME inspired Christmas box with. Voila! I have the month of December from all those calendars that I can cut from. See...I'm not just a "hoarder" of calendars.
I stopped buying the wall calendars when they downsized them to a smaller format. They became too small for my ME calendar holder. You remember that...I featured it a few weeks back.
I have ME desk calendars from 1997-2008 but I'm not sure why I stopped getting those. For years 2005 & 2007 I even have two for each of those years. One for home and one when for the office when I had a "desk job." Again, more great pictures to cut up and use.
In 2004 there was a scrapbook calendar that I bought. From 2007-2009 I downsized to pocket calendars to write appointments in. I am sad to say that this year I bought no Mary Engelbreit calendar. I can't even tell you why I didn't. Chances are I just didn't see one in my day to day travels to buy it. I'm carry around this ugly brown plastic pocket calendar to keep appts. in. It was only $1.00. Perhaps, this all says something about the state of our economy in the last few years. Hum???
I can’t believe you have that many calendars.....that collection is amazing to say the least. I have 2....but I have some I have already bought for next year....see, I am thinking ahead, Maybe I will post them tonight to give you a tiny bit of competition....my 3 to your 50 or so....not much competition.

Good morning,
ReplyDeleteI buy 3 or 4 of the ME calendars each year. Even with the smaller size I love to see the illustrations. I did give them up to our school guidance counselor who uses them on bulletin boards. Sharing the love.
I love the desk calandar-hope to have a new one for next year. Also have a "Mary" screen saver on computer...looking forward to seeing your christmas box...Terry P
ReplyDeleteVicki, I kept my ME calendars too, but I only have a few. I never buy myself a calendar because with a January birthday I always seem to get one as a gift. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Box exchange sounds like fun. Who is sponsoring this?

I have about 6 or 7 calendars - your collection is AMAZING! I don't think I have ever bought one - they were gifts from students - which is lucky for me. I bet your M.E. box will be adorable!
