Unbound 2012 Mini-Calendar - Inspiration

Another Christmas here and gone.  I think this was the first Christmas in memory that we exchanged no gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.  I did make some gifts for friends and family and bought some toys for the grandkids, but since we are getting together later this week for the holidays, we didn’t do any gifts over Christmas.  It was WONDERFUL!  Instead of an emphasis on opening presents we spent time enjoying being together and doing what we wanted to do.  Next year I think we will be even more intentional about simplifying our holidays and spending time together rather than consuming.  Connection instead of consumption – works for me!

I had great fun creating an inspirational calendar for 2012 for myself over the long holiday weekend.  If you’re interested in seeing it I’ve listed it in the Etsy shop here.  I so enjoyed creating it – finding words and photos that inspire me and bring me joy.  Here are few of my favorite pages from the calendar:

You are a miracle
