So a while ago I made numbers and months in illustrator as part of my 20% project. I printed them so I could laminate then magnetize and put on my calendar at home. Well its very difficult to cut circles and I'm a tad OCD. So clearly I was not going to cut them using scissors. The smallest circle punch they sell in stores was 1" in diameter and my circles were 3/4". If they were any bigger they wouldn't fit right on my calendar. So then I bought this circle swivel cutter its smallest circle was too big. So I find a 3/4" punch on michael's website. However they don't sell it in stores and they do not have an online store. (Don't ask me the logic behind this- supposedly they are working on creating an online store). Staples also sells a 3/4" online but not in stores. Finally, I decided to buy one off of amazon and I was able to punch and laminate my circles! Well after laminating my numbers I started to punch them out again my punch jammed. I eventually used a 1/16" drill bit to squeeze it open. So short story long- here is my awesome calendar. Every bit of the months and numbers was created by me other than the font. Here it is! Please excuse that I put 31 days in April- Don't worry I know there are only 30

Heads up!I don't typically like blogging because I lack a coherent train of thought when writing, use too many commas and run on sentences (as well as parenthesis- note this "sentence" alone); which make me look and feel unprofessional, yet don't want to go back and change what I wrote because that would change the authenticity of it and usually I don't remember what my purpose for writing was in the first place. Plus despite my poor grammar prior to editing this is the way I really think- one crazy long twisted train of thought that in the end makes sense to me and often not to many other people. Additionally I don't like sharing my raw thought. Essentially I'm a perfectionist. I guess this class will improve upon that. Archives
