Happy Halloween

Before I sign off for the weekend, I want to wish all of you a Happy Halloween! Whether you’re taking the kiddos out for trick or treat, heading out to a grown ups-only costume party, checking out a haunted house, or doing a little bit of everything, I hope that you have a spooky and fun time.

Try not to eat too much candy! 😉

Woo hoo, it’s calendar season!

I’m approaching my calendar roundups a little bit differently this year and, instead of having several roundups each week, I’ll be featuring my top 10 calendar picks of the week each Tuesday from now until, well, until I run out of craveable calendars. All of my top 2015 calendar picks, plus additional design picks, will be included in the 2015 Calendars Collection, so be sure to check back during the week to see the new additions.

And now, without further ado, here are my top 10 calendar picks for week one:
