I had to share

I'm not usually a big fan of calendars, they take up space on my wall that could be filled by something prettier. However, these two are hilarious and have great design and even better, the first is only $5.00 and the second is free! They were too good not to share.

This hilarious calendar is from littlebrownpen's etsy shop. You just pay $5.00 to download the PDF and then can print as many as you want!

and this calendar I just downloaded and printed this morning. It's from Mibo. You just sign up for their newsletter and then receive the free pdf for their Mibo 2009 Calendar. I think it's gorgeous.

Look at us being crafty! Don't you just love how crafty we are?

When we were first married we used some of the money from our wedding and purchased a table and chairs set from Wal-Mart for less than $100. We have since gotten rid of the table but, until the Pottery Barn fairy comes to bring me a new dining room set, the chairs are still a necessity. So, in a desperate attempt to make them a little less hideous we recovered them last weekend. And now I love them.

We've gone from this:

to this:

Our dining room is definately a little more cheery. Next on our project list? Painting Audrey's bedroom, re-upholstering our two wing back chairs and building a house for the cats before it gets too cold. Wish us luck.
