Hi, everyone! I have great news! Our "Owl Lover 2012" calendar is up! Before I show you the calendar, allow me a minute to share the success story of last year's calendar.
Our unique calendar received phenomenal response!
It was downloaded over 100,000 times and over 10,000 readers liked it on Facebook.
Many fellow bloggers, including the best of the best blogs like decor8, poppytalk, featured it on their blogs. It's an honor to be appreciated by so many amazing people who have always been a source of inspiration to me.
But, I couldn't dream of this accomplishment without your support and encouragement, and the 40 awesome artists who contributed to this calendar -thank you! Thank you! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Now, on to the present - this year, there are 45 beautiful artworks in our gallery from which you can select the images you love the most and create your own free calendar. Or you can simply download the pre-made version, whatever you do - I'm sure you will love taking a peek and exploring all the wonderful images. We have improved the customization a lot better this year, and now, you'll be able to download any number of calendar months you want. If you want to print just one month and use it as a gift tag, you can do that or you can print the entire calendar. It will make a perfect Christmas gift to your family and friends or even a gift to yourself!

I really, really like you. I already follow your blog daily. Always fun and often shared on Pinterest. I like you on Facebook and I have now shared your giveaway and free 2012 calendar gift on my Facebook page. I'm thrilled with the customizable calendar but since my birthday is Oct. 29th and I'll be an old lady of 55 I really need to win the tea set. Aren't old ladies supposed to have tea with other old ladies? I don't have a tea set so what will I do if I don't win this one. I suppose I'll just be a lonely old lady who can't invite ladies for tea.
I love this tea set!!! :) I follow, liked and shared!

What a lovely give away! My husband and I have one of these tea sets (our friends gave it to us for our wedding! :)) and it is wonderful. We now measure our tea in 'owls' thanks to it. "Dear, would you like one owl or two?"
I am wondering, as an artist you have featured once before, will you be doing a calendar next year? And if so, how does one get involved? I would love to contribute!
