Words to Live By 2012 Calendar

November 21, 2011

A new year calls for a fresh start, and there’s no easier way to refocus and revitalize than with a new calendar that’s designed to inspire you month after month. Stay organized and optimistic throughout the year by downloading and displaying our Words to Live By calendar.

Download the Calendar

Download and print the twelve months on cardstock paper. While a thicker stock of paper isn’t required, it’s great for giving your calendar a polished appearance. You can also download the calendar pages as desktop wallpapers and update your computer’s background each month.

Tip: To successfully print your calendar, make sure the file has fully downloaded; the process of downloading can take a moment. Working with smaller files can also be helpful, so consider downloading and printing each individual calendar page.

Ideas for Displaying Your Calendar

Basic Binder Clip: For a quick and easy hanging solution, clamp the twelve pages with a binder clip and fold up the handles, using them as loops that can hang from a nail, screw or pin.

Coat or Pant Hanger: Repurpose hangers in creative ways by using them to display your calendar. Show off calendar pages with a clamping pant hanger, or using two binder clips or clothespins, pin them to the lower bar of a traditional hanger. Display your hanger and calendar from a nail, on a doorknob, at the end of a coat rack or on the knob of a cabinet.

Clothespins: Glue a clothespin to a dry-erase board and use it to group the pages of your calendar together. You can also attach magnets to the clothespin and place it on a refrigerator or magnetic board. For a more whimsical approach, showcase the pages of your calendar along a piece of string, twine or wire in a laundry-line style. Use clothespins to attach the months.

Hole Punch: Punch two holes into the top of the twelve pages of your calendar and feed a piece of ribbon, twine or string through the holes, creating a loop. Knot each end of your material to secure it to your calendar. Hang the loop from a hook on a pegboard or pin on a bulletin board.

Easel: Easy to find at most craft stores, an easel is convenient for displaying your calendar. Place the calendar pages on its ledge, and take a page with you when you’re on the go.

Clipboard: Whether new or refreshed with decorative accents, it’s easy to place the pages on a clipboard and update each month. Plus, having a solid backing for your pages makes it simple to write on your calendar. Try hanging the clipboard from a pushpin, nail or hook—or lean it against a wall.

As you update your calendar each month, don’t forget to refresh your desktop wallpaper with the latest inspiring Words to Live By.
