Ring out the old…Printable January ’13 Calendar

Happy 2013 LCMF Readers!

I’m certainly looking forward to 2013 and hoping that it is a better year for me than 2012. Although I don’t feel like 2012 was a “waste” for me. It certainly was hard. But let’s leave that for another post.

Every month in the year 2011 we would start of the first day with a new free printable Calendar. They were actually something that I’ve done in my home for years, and I thought that since I was already designing them for myself….I could share them with my readers.

2012 brought a lot less planning, a lot less organization, and a lot less ability to keep up. Plus….I wasn’t really sure if anyone even really used them.

But I did a quick poll over on the LCMF Facebook Page…and it looks like maybe fans would like to see them come back.

As usual PLEASE follow the following rules for Less Cake {more frosting} printables:

LCMF prinatables are for PERSONAL USE only. You may not re-sell, re-distribute, or claim them as your own.
Please do not remove the watermark.
If posting on the internet, you MUST post a link back to this website.
Personalization, color changes, and other customizations are not available on freebie printables. They are offered “as-is”.
The BOX printing service requires Flash technology, therefore, you may not be able to print from some phones, tablets, and other portable devices.

January often inspires new starts. This January is definitely a new start for me….but in a very different way. I’d LOVE for you to return Thursday the 3rd for the kick off of my 2013 One Word, One Goal series. (that gives everyone time to celebrate, recoup, and get kids back to school)

Last year’s series was absolutely one of the most inspiring times of my entire year and and I go back to read those entries often.

Have a happy New Year’s Day with your friends and family. See you on the 3rd.

I hope you all know that not only do I whip up printables for Less Cake {more frosting} I also own a design business called Announced Design. If you didn’t…..now you do. Yay!

We’ve had LOTS of fun with things like the Christmas Cheer Poster...

And the printable storybook called “Reindeer Feed“…

So I’m really excited that the 2012 collection has been added to the store. There are so many fun choices and LOTS of color options. And at just $5-$7 they not only make amazing affordable decor, they also make great gifts.

Here’s just a few of the new options:

When you visit Announced Design you will purchase a digital file that is sent to you IMMEDIATELY! You can take that file and upload it to any online printer, or put it on a jumpdrive or DVD and take it to the store.

I love using COSTCO. I upload my poster and have a 16×20 poster in my hands in one hour. (for about $8) There are also lots of online options as well. It’s just the easiest way to decorate. Love it!

Anyway, I know a lot of my loyal LCMF readers are also some of my loyal Announced Designs customers and cheerleaders. SO I’D LOVE IT IF YOU SPREAD THE WORD!

For all my loyal customers there will be a

15% discount on all orders

for the next week when you enter the code

LUVLCMF2012

(so that ends on December 11th 2012…just to be clear)

Thank you again for all your support. I actually have a fun FREE printable coming up this week, a fun new helper to make LCMF 1000% better again, AND I won’t let you down with a free Christmas poster. That’s been a tradition and I will keep it. It just might take me a few more days. Gotta give this body a rest. All my love…..

The Address to Gettysburg Part 2

Authored By: ellie g Author/Writer

Last year about this time I was BASKING in what I felt was my most EPIC LCMF project to date. The Vinyl re-creation of the Gettysburg Address

Little did I know that an entire year later it would STILL be the most epic project to date.

(either that means that it was TRULY so epic that it will never BE topped….or that I’ve spent the last 12 months doing less than 100% quality work.)

Still probably one of the MOST asked about projects. And one of the MOST requested to reproduce.
(and PS…..people have begged and nearly offered me their first born for a copy of this project. So PLEASE keep your first borns. No need for that kind of desperation!)

I think I was pretty honest in saying that I don’t know of any person in their right mind who’d like to re-create it in vinyl. It literally took me days. And may be the culprit of why my bum hurts to this day. (okay…that last part isn’t true…)

But since it is so MUCH requested I decided to make it into a printable version for this year’s holiday.

I know it comes a bit late, I’m guessing most of you are all decorated for the season. But know that my heart was in the right place. I’ve had kind of a rough month.

Click on the arrow with a line under it…in the above window. Just press it, and the image file should download right to your computer! Easy Peezy!

You can then print the file anywhere you’d like. This file is sized at 16×20. It will not print optimally at a bigger size. (But you can print it at a smaller size if you’d like.)

As usual PLEASE follow the following rules for Less Cake {more frosting} printables:

LCMF prinatables are for PERSONAL USE only. You may not re-sell, re-distribute, or claim them as your own.
Please do not remove the watermark.
If posting on the internet, you MUST post a link back to this website.
Personalization, color changes, and other customizations are not available on freebie printables. They are offered “as-is”.

If you are interested in purchasing the print in different color schemes or without the LCMF watermark please visit Announced Designs where 4 color schemes are available for immediate download for a small charge.

I am still ABSOLUTELY in love with the message and the man. And still get misty every single time I read the speech in it’s entirety.

Even if I won’t be celebrating as much as I normally do. I will still have on my Playlist of awesome songs and I usually can see some fireworks from my back deck. So I’ll probably take a trip out there and see what I can see.

In the interest of feeling positive about the fact that I won’t be able to sit through a traditional fun fireworks show….I’ve tried to think of my Pollyanna thought. I have begun to play “The Glad Game” with my current health situation. Here’s what I have:

This year when Mr. Greenwood sings about “God Bless the USA”….
and he says “stand up, next to you”….
I’ll already be standing.
‘Cause I can’t sit.
There you go.

Happy Independence Day friends. Be safe with your celebrations!
