six months of fun

Back in February, The Petersiks over at Young House Love posted this adorable calendar that they made (see photo below). The top of their's was filled with inside jokes that they shared, which were fun to read. They were kind enough to share the photoshop template that they used with everyone, and even though the year is halfway over, I decided I wanted one, too! I wanted to make it my own, with something that was a little more "me".

Luckily for me, my husband is great with photoshop. I emailed him 6 adorable, retro ads that color-coordinated with the colors of the different months on the calendar. Searching for the different ad images was the most fun part, some of them were hilarious. He took out the Petersik's inside jokes, inserted these ads, and voila! These adorable calendars:

The one from November is hilarious. It's an ad for Camel cigarettes, and it breaks down each course of the traditional Thanksgiving meal, and explains why the best thing you can do for yourself and your health is to smoke a Camel cigarette in between each course. The Christmas one shows Mrs. Clause going through a stack of letters addressed to her, and telling Santa that every woman wants an ironing board for Christmas. So funny!

They're the perfect size - just big enough that you can write in the spaces, but small enough to stick on the fridge.

It's been a long time since my little monster giveaway. I think it's time for another one! Leave me a comment, and on Friday I'll draw a winner. The winner gets their very own 6-month, retro ad calendar:)

Good luck!
