Every year my husband gets me a calendar for Christmas--usually one with cute dogs. I hang it in my office and occasionally refer to it, but I primarily use my online calendar for appointments, etc. Still, I like looking at the cute dogs (Boston terriers for 2012!).

No. I don't keep a paper calendar at all.

Yes! There are great fabrics to pick from on Spoonflower, so I made a tea towel calendar. I have fabric for 2012 already, just haven't sewn it up yet.

Well, only sort-of...

I actually USE online calendars, but we get one from the town that has coupons for businesses and pre-printed things like hazardous waste collection dates that we usually hang inside the pantry door. But we rarely look at it, and I'll bet mine is still set to August or September if I check!

I never use decorative calendars. I don't have enough space for my art collection as it is, so I wouldn't waste space for something ephemeral like that.

I got Michele Armas' calendar, but it's more art, less calendar, and I really just wanted the print. It's framed, like art, not a thumbtack. I keep a large desk blotter/monthly calendar on my desk for making more particular scheduling and notes. Also to use as a coaster...

i love the calendar featured! where is it from?!

yes-our chinese take out up the block always saves a panda one for us!

I receive a Snow & Graham calendar every Christmas. It's so lovely and when the previous year is through - I cut out the designs and frame them.

I've had a paper calendar every year of my life except this year...I think they're lovely.

I have one at work but not at home ... it's less stressful that way.

Next to my seat in the breakfast nook I have a 365 pages / pager per day travel calendar - a different place to travel to every day, information on the backside of the leaf. So I get dreaming bout my world travels while eating my muesli in the morning, tearing off a leaf every day. Wouldn't want to miss that! Even though I got all the techie stuff with cloud calendar on phone, desktop and mobile computer.

Call me old school, but I have 2-one larger one in my office (for notes) and another (just dates) in the kitchen. I find them handy (and less tech reliant) when I'm making plans or someone is suggesting a date. I wait for the year end sale but often receive pretty ones as gifts too.

I always get a calendar for Christmas, usually of horses (Thanks Mom) and I hang it in my kitchen. I have other calendars too but the kitchen one just gets used the most. This year a friend of my Dad's gave us a personalized calendar of photos of my Dad, some of my siblings, and local landscapes. So that was different and cool.
Anyone else get really excited about changing the calendar page at the end of the month?? lol

Yes, for meal planning. It is a dry-erase calendar, where you change the dates each month.
I bought mine for three dollars at Rite Aid. Best part is that the calendar will unlikely expire :)

This is the first year we are skipping the printed calendar. For twenty years I've had one on the kitchen wall ... but this year - I am trying to become more paper free....

I only use my calendar on my phone and I write important dates on my chalkboard if they need to be seen by everyone. I sort of hate having a paper calendar. I find them a little stressful to look at. I'd rather just live a day at a time instead of staring at a month.

Yes, I place it on the fridge every single year and glance at it maybe 2 or 3 times during the year... LOL

I love calendars! I always get ones with great pictures of National Parks and I dream every time I look at the calendar!

Yes! to Snow and Graham Calendars...

I think calendars nowadays function primarily as wall art. Because if you are not at home, and making plans, you cannot use the calendar. How did anyone, even before all this techno stuff, do that? Are we just out-of-home & on-the-go, as a culture, more than we used to be?

dry erase usually, but I had to immediately order the calendar in the pic. just stunning!!!

i find some calenders to be too kitschy... but the one being shown...WOW. i'd frame it.

I use wall calendars as art. My favorite and annual purchases include: Paper Source Art Calendar , Rifle Paper Co., Nikki McClure, Linnea Poster calendar, and sometimes Snow & Graham. They adorn all my walls...kitchen, bathroom, office, and the kids' room.

Yes! Except this year I didn't receive one for Christmas, so I haven't put one up yet.

Having a calendar on my wall helps me keep my days organized better because it's right in my face. I don't have to log on to anything or open up anything.

We hang a calendar in out pantry/laundry room. Its an Austin Events Calendar. Lists all the local events, concerts, markets, fairs that Austin will have that year, as well as Holiday events. We get one every year at our local book store.

They're cute, incredibly varied, and I used to enjoy picking out my favorites when they were half off at the bookstores in the new year. However, for many years I've done without wall calendars. The walls already are full of prettier things and I note appointments elsewhere.

I always have a calendar hanging in my kitchen and I always buy it in January when they're 50-75% off. It may just be luck, but I'm always able to find at least one nice art calendar (this year it's Mucha!) amid all the leftover kittens and teen heartthrobs.

I don't anymore but I still keep that sense of time marching forward by putting a framed picture, from family history, in the LR/DR or kitchen that represents that month. Pictures from old ski trips in January, making Valentine cards in February, my late father's birthday in March, etc.

the simple, clean bagasse paper calendar from muji is a lifesaver. no pictures, no colors, just ivory paper and a grey sans serif font. love love love. (also: on sale now on their us store website!)

absolutely! my nikki mclure calendar just arrived in the mail yesterday... i love pretty calendars with small spaces to write in my plant watering schedule (35 plants... a lot to keep track of), social dates on weekends (since i don't look at my electronic calendar on the weekends). ours hangs in the kitchen. i especially love picking calendars with pages that can be later framed. we just framed three charlie harper illustrations from a 2010 calendar. they look great in a baby room!

For two years now, I've received the Linnea poster calendar. It hangs above my bar area. I simply adore the different posters for each month.

I do. I just hang it inside my kitchen cabinet door.

Yes, I do have a monthly calendar, three usually hanging in different rooms in my house and one hanging at work. I like the change of pictures from month to month.

I do, but I treat it more as art than a calendar.. I have one made by a friend's studio in Toronto (Graven Feather) and another one from Rifle Paper Co. I love them both and both are hanging in the kitchen.

I actually get them sometimes, and then when the year is over I frame the best images for my wall. Inexpensive quality photography!

The only calendar I actually write on is the one in my closet, where I check and track my weight. It's less about losing weight and more about moderation: If I notice an upward trend early, it's super easy to reverse. Later? Not so much. Of course, if I notice I'm losing I'm usually pretty happy. :)

Oh, hell yes. My husband and I have a wall calendar (with cute labs, just like ours) with important dates, and also have a dry-erase board with weekly events right next to it. We both have smart phones, but just find it much easier to look at the kitchen wall each morning and see what's going on that day and the rest of the week. Plus, I can update the grocery list at the same time!

Each year we get the Australian Bureau of Meteorology calendar - the pictures are amazing & we use it to plan things the household needs to know...
