Owl Lover 2012 Free Calendar + Owl Tea Set Giveaway


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!


To make this news sweeter, I have a surprise for you. Sonja of Old Shanghai Online has offered an owl tea set as a giveaway to one My Owl Barn reader. The lucky winner will get to choose the color (from here) of the tea set.


1. To enter, you must be a follower of My Owl Barn (click here to follow My Owl Barn)

Hi! I'm in Owl Heaven! I came here by searching for "free calendar" not expecting to find a wonderful owl site. I love owls (partial to the 1970s artsy owls but all are good) and your calendar is gorgeous. So neat to see so many artist interpretations of beautiful and cute owls. I'm following your blog from now on. Thank you for brightening this owl lover's day! :)
