With the recent removal of Franklin Covey as a Pampered Perks partner, I had an idea to make a spiral-bound calendar, similar to the one that was offered by them. It would feature 2-page months and 2 pages per week, with several added features: check boxes for marking off 3-2-1, motivational quotes, and food-related holidays marked on the month grids.

Before I spend any more time working on it, I thought I'd get a feel for how many people would be interested. If it's only a couple, I'll skip it. The poll will stay open for only a brief period. And, if you would be inclined to purchase one, indicate in the poll whether you would like the month grids all at the front (like the FC planner), or with the appropriate weeks following each.

My plan is to do one up letter-size, like the FC PC planner was. But if there's enough demand for a smaller size, I could also do them 5x8 or 7x9. The price would be the same.

I'd make them available through my Cafe Press shop, and they'd be somewhere between $13 and $16 each. Glossy cover, spiral bound.

And here's a sample of the pages.

I guess I should explain that the pages show up singly in the PDF, but when bound, the 2 grid pages would make one big grid, etc.Dena-- select an option in the poll, dearest. :)
 
I love it with the Food related "holidays" on it! I personally don't use a calendar with the weekly part in it. Would just the monthly version ever be an option?
 
sorry:o A.D.D. here....
 
I love it!!!! But I don't know which one to choose......you don't have an "any of the above" option, Ann!

At first I thought letter size.....but then I saw 5x8........What size is my Franklin planner - I'll have to go check.....

I can indeed do a monthly-only version, although that will basically be the planner that we get from HO, just with the food holidays and check boxes.The weekly pages on smaller versions will be different, just to get them to fit and have lines that are far enough apart to actually write on. :)
And anyone who has the day-to-day CS calendar, that one's 5x8. This one would be a little thinner (fewer pages), but otherwise the same.
 
Nice job, but I already get too many calendars around! ;)
 
Love it! Count me in!
 
ANN!! I would love it!! I like the month one, because i can write in the big blocks, oh and i guess letter size too.. that is a great idea.. hehe!
 
I really like this one. Especially the 3-2-1 in it. I make marks on my calendar now.
 
Me too!Count me in for the letter size. I love the weekly pages. I always need reminders!! I voted!

Debbie :D
 
Very nice Ann! But, I'm happy with the monthly one that HO sends us. I've finally worked out a system for my daily activities and I'm not ready to change that yet. You do good work!
 
Count me in!

This is what I would be interested in too!!
 
I would love this!!! And I want it with Month, weeks, month, weeks, etc. I hated having to keep flipping back a forth between a chunk of pages to see the month and corresponding weeks.

Hmmm??? What is the day-to-day CS calendar?
 
I love it. I did vote for the underdog 7X9 size w/the month/week, etc. but would also welcome the letter size if it were the only one available.:thumbup:

I'm glad to see you took care of the important details like National Chocolate Cake Day:love: & National Popcorn Day. :balloon: That sold me right away!

Its important to pass lifes little known tidbits along to others:)

It's a perpetual calendar I put together. It's in my Cafe Press shop (link in my siggy) - 366 days of motivational quotes, reminders and tips. I put it together several months ago when there was a thread about people's favorite quotes. I gave them to my team and my upline as conference gifts. Rae has one, too.
 
It is a very nice calendar! You did an awesome job Ann. However, I cannot have one more piece of paper in my office. My HO calendar is functional enough for me. I love your "day of" listings. That is really nice!
 
Love It Gotta Have It!:thumbup: :thumbup: LOVE IT GOTTA HAVE IT:thumbup: :thumbup:
You deliver sad news, I was looking forward to getting a Franklin Covey. If I am filling my current holder, I would need the smaller one, but the desk size is great as well. Wherever do you find the time? When are you going to start taking orders?
 
I use the one HO sends us. I like the big squares. However, I would be interested in a wall calendar. I am pretty sure my first year...and maybe the second...HO sent us a wall calendar.
 
I like it Ann. The monthly calendar from PC just doesn't work for me: too big for my purse and not detailed enough to cover the other stuff in my life. I've used Franklin Covey for years (pre-PC), and love the two pages per week format. In the poll I selected the 'months up front', but spread out is fine too. Thank you!

Me too! I really need to start utilizing my calendar more.

Ann, I voted for the 7x9 with the months dispersed, but I really don't care what size. I think this is an awesome calendar! Do you have enough people to start taking orders yet? :D

I'll work on it this week and post when I have them available through Cafe Press. That's the great part- I won't have to take orders, everyone will be able to order their own. :)
 
You did an awesome job Ann (as always!), but I am just over(paper)worked.
 
what would be on the cover??

I was going to pull some product photos and recipe shots from CC, and do a "collage" type cover.
