Every November for the last six years, I’ve made a desktop calendar for myself and a few others who show interest. It has become a tradition and I guess it’s my own version of baking cookies to give out during the holidays.

When I first started, I used an x-acto knife, cutting board and ruler but happily upgraded to a paper cutter. The reason being, I make approximately 22 calendars. That’s two months on one page = 22 divided by 2 = 11 pages x 12 months = 132 pages + 5 cuts per page = 660 cuts! My blistered hands thank me!
