Ok...I am not ordering one...but I wanted to chime in and say
to Ann: you are wonderful for spending YOUR TIME to do this for everyone. You SHOULD be marking these up so that you can be compensated!
Even if you don't choose to change this, you should keep whatever little bit extra you decided to charge just to keep everything in full dollar amounts!

You are a sweetie for offering and for doing this for everyone!

There's now a 5x8 version available, for anyone who wants one that will fit into a bag easier.
It's available at www.cafepress.com/cssmallcalendar(Somehow, there are 2 pictured on that page - they appear to be the same item.)

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.

To reiterate, for people who are just now checking this thread:
Calendars are now available!​
The covers are a little bright (I was having too much fun putting them together), and they're the same on both letter-size versions; similar on the 5x8. Each calendar is $13.00, a significant savings from the Franklin Covey price for their version. They are spiral bound, for easy reference, and feature motivational quotes and checkboxes to track 3-2-1.Because Cafe Press limits shopkeepers to 1 of each item in free shops, the calendars are in different shops than the rest of the Chef Success stuff I've created. If you are ordering, please PLEASE make sure you're ordering the correct version.Letter-size, months and weeks interspersed (Monthly Jan, weekly Jan, monthly Feb, weekly Feb, etc.) is available at Chef Success 2008 Monthly Weekly CalendarLetter-size, months in the front followed by weekly planning pages is available at Chef Success 2008 Monthly and Weekly Calendar5x8, months and weeks interspersed is available at Chef Success 5x8 CalendarAs always, other CS stuff is available at my other Cafe Press Shop: http://www.cafepress.com/annszwarc

I've had a request for samples of the pages in these calendars. Here they are.

The large size format is the same between the 2 versions (linked above), only the placement of the weekly planning pages varies.

The small version comes out 5x8 inches, and for some reason my PDF converter put it on letter size pages. So please ignore the extra white space around the edges.

I got the 5X8 version & I keep it with me all the time. I love the smaller size
because it's easier to take everywhere. My PC calendar I tend to load up with other papers.

I'm so glad that people like these. I'll do up 2009 versions that will be available eventually (late 2008). And I promise I'll make the cover less bright and more professional. (I kinda like the bright cover, because I can see it easier in my tote bag.)
 
Nothing like starting late here, huh? I have been so spoiled with the Franklin Covey calendar since it started that I'm not used to just having this little thing and not in a cover. Does your calendar fit in the FC cover? I REALLY love yours, especially the 3 boxes on the individual days! That will force me to use those pages! Anyway, back to my question... Does it fit in the cover (black leather thing), or will I need to buy a new one of those to fit it? I apparently can't be trusted to take good care of plain cardboard as the one from HO is already all beat up!
Thanks,
Jane :)

It will fit in the FC clover, although mine's a little thinner than the FC planner was. But it's close enough. :)
 
Is the 5x8 still available? The link doesn't seem to work for me.
 
Thanks Ann! I just ordered mine and can't wait to get it!:chef:
 
thanks! I looked and the link is just wrong (too many http www).
