Make a Date on Paper

And for even more about the subject of paper, it's the time of year to start planning your 2011 calendar purchases. For those of you who only use calendars of the electronic kind, let me make a plea for paper dates. A good old paper calendar is a pragmatic solution for family organization. No Google calendar will ever be as convenient for everyone in the household, especially those with kids, pets, and technophobes. Have a hobby, favorite dog, cat, color, boat, car, motorcycle, travel destination, etc? There's a calendar out there for you. No file sync, charger, or battery back-up required. Of course you can make your own with photos but that seems like a lot of work, no?  Instead, why not brighten your wall or desk with one of these unique date-markers, all available on Etsy. - l.o.d.
