Calendar of Matches.

Talk about watching time burn! When I first saw this calendar made of matches by designer Yurko Gutsulyak (for VS Energy International Ukraine Financial industrial group) I was in completely awe of the sheer genius behind the product.

“The idea was to create as unique a calendar so that the process of its presenting would become an outstanding event. Alongside with this, it was important to expose the idea of “energy”, as it is predetermined by the name and logo of the company. Each page is a month and it looks like a comb made of matches that correspond to the days. The matches are real and the construction of the calendar is absolutely safe.”

Heather Frazier Mobile.


Dear Santa,

I’ve been pretty good for the most part this year.

I flipped the minimal amount of people off on the roadways (and those I told were #1 deserved it I might add). I cut back on Happy Hours. And that one day when my cat, Peanut, got stuck in the coat closet for ten hours? Totally his fault.

So if you could just maybe consider putting this Heather Frazier Mobile under my tree this Christmas I’d be very thankful. Especially because I’ve already decided exactly where it will go.

Love,
Kelly

Roundup: 2009 Calendars Part 4.

I was trying to hold off on this Christmas Card Round Up for as long as possible because I keep seeing more fantastic designs each and every day. But I thought I’d better get it posted before everyone’s cards have already been stamped and sent! Well what are you waiting for? Take a look!
