DIY Massive Calendar

Hello there!  As an aspiring functioning member of society and an attempt to get my act together this year, I've created this massive custom calendar with a foam core poster board, a set of colored markers and a ruler.  Now, by no means am I perfect, but if you're anything like me, you need a big reminder to slap you in the face with bold colors so that you don't forget things like I do.

The foam board that I used was 20inX30in.  For 24 weeks worth of calendar space, I measured 1-1/4' inches down the entire 30 inch sides, leaving little pencil marks as I went.  After, I lined up the dots on one side to the other and went over it with a fine permanent marker.  Across the top and bottom (20 inch sides) I measured 2-3/4" across starting on the left to leave about a half an inch of space to mark the months.  Since I'm obsessive compulsive, I color-coded the months, blog post dates, birthdays, events and holidays as well as appointments all through the first half of the year.  I also did the back side of this with July-December's calendar, but you don't have to go that crazy!

Happy Tuesday everyone!
