Hello 2013!

January 1, 2013



2013 is here! WOW!! I didn't want to miss posting a new calendar for the start of this year.. received a few emails about where December's calendar was last month and I didn't realize some looked forward to them so thank you!

I designed this month's message a couple weeks ago and made a stamp and tote bag with it. Well, I changed it around a little for today but I thought it was appropriate for starting off a brand new year! Yesterday I mentioned a few things I want to work on this year. I think these little messages are great reminders of things to keep in mind daily, for me at least. Maybe for you too?

Also, this month I decided to just post the motivational message instead of the actual calendar, and I wanted to get your thoughts. Do you like just the message better? Or would you prefer having the calendar as well? For those of you who would like the calendar included, I did make one size and it can be downloaded here. But let me know your thoughts and I'll make it work for next month!

Happy New Year friends! Here's to another great year of growth, adventure, journey, learning, growth, and change.

37 hello's:

  1. Happy New Year! I love this, it's exactly the things I need and want to be reminded of as I dive into work this new year.

    As for calendar vs. no calendar I'm going to be boring and say that I like both. With shorter quotes I like that the calendar can help to fill in extra negative space, but I like that you can do longer quotes like this without having it be cluttered.

  2. I LOVE changing my desktop wallpaper each month and always look forward to the new month. As for whether or not to include the monthly calendar, I'm OK with either way. I kind of like seeing the calendar month, but to be honest, I don't refer to it for actual dates. So without a calendar is OK for me.

  4. I've loved all your wallpaper calendars. I love that they are so neutral and calming, it's the last thing I need to be cluttered because I can always see it behind my browser windows.

  8. I like both!

    However, if, with the new retail store you're going to be too busy to update each month - stick with the quote! That way, if we can't change them each month, no big deal!

  12. I absolutely LOVE your calendars and look forward to downloading a new one for my work computer each month! Please please please keep the calendar on there - I use is all the time at work! Having the quote on there too just makes your calendars even better :)

  21. Thank you! And happy new year! Your site is beautiful :)

  22. Thank you for the wallpapers!

    I personally like the calendar. I like changing wallpaper every month and it makes my work computer look organized with the current date on it. :) I like looking at the calendar to see what date it is.

    The quote looks really good on its own too.

    ReplyDelete
  23. This is my favorite calendar design of yours so far! There are other places I can look if I need to know the date, but inspiration is usually what matters most. Thanks!
    Happy 2013, Danni!

  24. Thank you for the wallpaper! I really do look forward to it every month...I kept November up on my computer until January came out. :) I personally like it with the month and calendar.

    Thanks!

  26. I'm going to come out of hiding and tell you it was one of your desktop calendars that made me become a subscriber! I fell in love with them and didn't want to miss a beat and now never do. So there you go. Stlaker out of hiding. I love the small quote WITH the calendar. I use it for quick reference when doing things at the computer. You are awesome Danni! Thanks for sharing all your goodness with us!!! Smiles for the new year! ;)

  27. P.S. It's also inspiring me to clean up my mess of a desktop on my computer BTW! I am an icon, thumbnail, doc, jpeg, save-everything-to-my-desktop clutter maniac. This will do the trick to reorganize. Thanks again!!! ;)

  28. i love the desktop backgrounds! but it's even better with a calendar! :)

    i'm using the background with the calendar :)

  29. Danni-I wanted to come back today to tell you how much I love this month's screensaver. I downloaded it this month without the calendar because I love it so much, I may use it longer than just January.
    Clean, simple, perfect.

  30. YAY! You brought them back. My desktop was so lonely without December's. I always look forward to having a new calendar on my desktop each month. THANK YOU! I hope you have a great 2013!

  31. Thank you so much, I love you wallpapers with calendar :) Have a wonderfull 2013

  32. I look forward to this every month :) I do like having the calendar as I work off of two screens at work and it's a lovely little reference for me.

    I was sad about December's too!

    All the best for 2013!

  33. Definitely love these; missed December's calendar. I like putting them on my work computer especially (and the extra calendar is always good for reference). As everyone else said, very calming and uncluttered, but inspirational and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Love them! Thanks for doing all of this (and all the sizes). If it's a lot of work, don't stress about the calendar portion; I like it, but even having a seasonal cool background each month is nice! :-)

  36. I like this more than the calendar!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love the calendars but I am so behind this month that the motivational message is great. I hope you do a little of both in the coming months. Thanks!
