Picture It: Autumn Leaves.
Oklahoma is usually brown and dying at this time of year, but thanks to a late summer full of rain there’s a hint of color in the changing leaves. Reminds me of growing up Pennsylvania in the best possible way.

Picture It.
{Citrus Hearts via Scoutie Girl}
This photo reminds me of my hometown in Pennsylvania. Tons of trees and brick-lined roads made for the most beautiful falls I’ve ever seen. My homesickness really starts to rear its head during this time of year! {But I bought my plan ticket home for the holidays yesterday!)

Word: Midwest Modern Girl.
and off we sped down the long and winding road
not knowing what the future would hold
not knowing what the future would hold
we found calm in each others smile
wondering what we got ourselves into mile after mile
for the road was our escape
not carrying where we arrived or if we were late
you are more than just a crush
this journey was meant for the two of us
This week’s Word was brought to you by Danielle of Midwest Modern Girl. After you check out her blog, swing by her shop for some adorable paper goods! Thanks, Danielle.

2010 Calendar Roundup #5.
The 12 different illustrated months are printed on 100% recycled PCW, chlorine free papers. It comes with a reusable wood block holder made of reclaimed lumber which has a place for your stray pencil. And you can mail back your used pages to our studio where we will recycle them and give you a coupon for next year’s refill packet! Cards measure 4.25″ x 5″.
Here’s a quick and easy way to keep in tip top shape. Just peel the little variety sticker from every apple you eat and affix it to a square. Keep it interesting. Try a Belle De Boskoop, a Newtown Pippin, how about a Peasgood Nonsuch, or maybe a Turley Winesap. There’s no shortage of combinations and imagine how good you’ll feel, when, after a years time, you’ve filled each square with a colorful little sticker.
This is about as large a poster as you’re going to see coming off of a letterpress—at 18″ x 23″ it takes up almost an entire form. Run in two colors (Pantone 7532U and a light varnish) on a substantial Strathmore 130# cover weight stock, the impression made by the press gives this a wonderful tactile quality.
Use this lovely ready to print pdf in your own home. So easy to use, simply add some nice paper and a pretty ribbon and presto! a calendar for you or a gift for a friend (or both). This PDF comes set up with 2 months per page and a cover page. Final calendar size is 4.25 x 11″.
Each month is printed on 80# recycled white smooth finish cardstock, bound by a 1″ metal ring to complete this modern and eco friendly calendar. Pages measure 4.25″ x 11″.
The digital pdf calendar is set up to print two months at a time on letterhead size paper. Final size is 4.25 x 11.
Twelve months of Keep Calm and Carry On-inspired decrees. This 2010 Printable Calendar makes a fun gift for the girl with a sense of humor. {There is also a guy version!}
Enjoy 2010 with 12 unique hand drawn bows. This listing is for one 8-page ready-to-print PDF file. Simply download, print and cut at home while wearing your pajamas. Includes gift tags and decorative bands as well.
Just print, trim and hang it! All the pages have a little circle above, that shows you the perfect place to punch a hole!
