I decided one day in November to make magazine picture collage calendars for Mama and myself for the coming new year of 2011. I excitedly clipped the prettiest pictures out of many favorite magazines saved for such a purpose. I found so many that were, to me, 'Olivia' that I did have to make one for her as well. After many days of clipping and sorting and arranging ((for... four minutes or less*)) it was turning out so prettily that I decided to save them as a sort of Christmas treat. And I did. One for Mama, one for me, one for Olivia. Mine is hanging in my kitchen next to my sink to be enjoyed and scribbled on at will. I left scribbling space even in the picture part of the calendar for thoughts or verses or quotes, should the mood strike.
So without further ado...

Ta da!
I do realize that this is two calendars worth of pictures; I don't have pictures taken of my own yet. Someday.
*Picture me, 7 years old, in cowboy boots, dress-up dress & apron, making pizza by myself for the first time, dramatically explaining to the camera in my best cooking-show-host voice that the pizza crust was turning out after all that kneading and kneading and kneading, for...four minutes or less. It seemed like a long time!
