Oh friends. I am so damn excited to tell you about my new project! As alluded to in my open call for photos, I've been slaving away in the salt mines (read: drinking coffee with the BFF, petting her cats, and designing together) to create something So Awesome. What? A Yes and Yes Calendar!
However! We're not talking about 12 months worth of kittens in baskets (though you know I'm all over those). Each month includes a gorgeous photo and a inspiring (but non-cheesy) quote. The date bit of the calendar includes fun ideas, ass-kicking quotes, and hilariously real holidays - National Puppy Day, anyone? To the side of the dates there's even space for a monthly list! February's list is 'People I've Kissed.' October? 'Ridiculous Things That Scare Me.'
click on image to see larger version The calendars will be printed locally, on recycled paper. They'll measure 11" by 17" and there's plenty of space in those date boxes to scribble in all your important plans.
At the moment, we're in the process of formatting everything and ironing things out with our printer, but I'm hoping to have them ready to ship by mid-late November. And the price for all this goodness? $18 with free global shipping!
So are you interested, friends? If you are, please leave a comment or email me. Contacting me or leaving a comment does not require you to buy a calendar, it just helps me estimate how many I should have printed on our first run.
So waddaya say?

Absolutely! Will they be shipable to places outside the US?
Yes! Though I should 'warn' you guys that the holidays listed and pictures are 'US' centric - so there's no Boxing Day or Queens birthday. And for Kiwis and Aussies, the pictures for November and December are pretty 'wintery'
Just FYI :)
I'd be interested!
Well that's ok since I don't have Boxing Day or the Queen's Birthday either!!
very interested :) and apologies for this being my first comment, but i am an avid onlooker and will aim to comment more! love your blog xx
What a great idea, yay for you! The photos look fab so you can count me as an interested party.
Hannah: ahahaaha! Welcome to the party! :D
Not sure if I've actually commented before, Sarah but I ADORE your blog and you seem like a pretty awesome person. That being said, I would totally be into buying a calendar <3
Awesome - I'd need it pronto to help me cope but shipping is all the way to the middle east though.
thanks for the great blog, always puts a smile on my weary face.
This is such a cute idea ^^
I'd love to have one (or two) of your calendars once they're ready. However, global shipping includes Spain?????
I'm really hoping that I can keep the global shipping as a viable option. I've yet to talk to the post office about it - when I've sent things to friends of this approximate weight/size, the shipping costs weren't prohibitive. If the shipping for far off lands is more than $5, I may have to revisit this, but at this point, I'll maintian my battle cry of "Free global shipping!"
Also, I can't figure out how to work a paypal option to include Shipping and Handling ;)
YES! =D
Want. Plain and simple.
I'd love one! Or more :)
Ooh, it looks awesome! Would definitely buy one :D
Great idea! We Canadians will fill in our own crazy holidays... :)
First time commenter -- yess i'm interested!! =)
GREATEST.IDEA.EVER.
if there coming to england count me in! =]
I want one! I'm in Canada (just so you know). Wow $18 dollars for a calendar that looks that cool? I'm SO super excited already!
Yesss! :)
I WANT! :) :) :)
Please and thank you!
Yes please! i, too, am canadian.
Oh yes! I was just thinking about getting an amazing calendar yesterday! Problem solved.
i'd love one!
What a cool idea! Congrats! Will you ship to APO boxes? Don't forget us service members!
Oh wow, they look amazing. Definitely interested! If you're shipping to England, I'll have one :)
xx
This is a fantastic idea! I so want one.
Yes please!!! I'd love to order one sounds amazing. Is South Africa included in your shipping?
*eLLa*
Sarah, what an awesome, inspired idea! You have turned your blog into a brand, and I'm buying it! Sign me up!

The calendar idea is fabulous! Count me in for 2! (gift for sister and for bff....done and done!)
I htink I'd love one of your calendars. I think you are very inspiring and creative, and I would love to support your creative efforts.
Count me in!
oh yes please! That would certainly brighten up my bare room.
Haha Sarah couldn't you be multi-cultural and chuck in a few holidays for those of us south of the equator? We always get left out from all the calendar goodness!
Nonetheless, I reckon I'd be interested. :)
Oh you guys! I am so, so touched at your support of our little endevor! Next time any of you are in the Twin Cities (or I'm travelling through your neck of the woods) meet ups will be mandatoy. :* (<- I believe that's the emoticon for a kissy face)
Hey Guys! I think I can safely say that this is just the FIRST "Yes and Yes" calendar/ printed item and that others will follow in years to come... If Sarah doesn't mind the e-mails, we'll keep a list of brainstormed ideas... Lauren, send in your suggestions for those Southernly Holidays!! :)
Count me in!
I would LOVE one- maybe next year you could make a planner? I LOVE planners- they're my diary/calendar/brainstorming/dreaming space and I am always on the lookout for the perfect one... (hint hint)
I WANT ONE!!! send one to me in Manila :D
leethroughthelens.blogspot.com
Great gift idea!
Especially if National Mole Day (Oct. 23rd) is represented.
sounds perfect for my sister, count me in!
Catherine - on the first draft of the Calendar it totally was! ;D
such a great idea!
you had me sold when you said there was a section for lists!!
Yes! Want! I'll take four, to give to some of my favorite ladies. Congratulations on your awesome, creative venture!

Yes & yes!

I would absolutely be interested! Adorable!
I am super interested. I think I'm going to go bother my dad, as he enables me to buy stuff online (I don't have any money related cards).
I say, OMG.
I want one.
No.
I NEED one.
It looks awesome!! How exciting :D xxx
INTERESTED!!

Best. Idea. Ever.
I'm thinking yes. And yes.
Yep! I'll buy one! The free international shipping sealed the deal.
x
Interested.
I'm in. It will be a lovely replacement for the ever so pretty but two years out of date (it just has a list of numbers at the bottom of the page, with the Sundays highlighted) Alphonse Mucha calendar I haven't had the heart to part with.
I definitely would love one! Sounds like the best calendar ever... well after the kitties in baskets and Twilight. :)
I'm comment 82, you're going to be needed a heap for your first print :)
I'm also from Australia, but would love this calendar. Oh how I wish it would be winter near xmas. Haha. Now I can believe it is.
wow this is fantastic! i DEFINITELY want one
what an awesome, awesome idea! count me in!
me, me, me... i want one. i do, i do... a work of art from 2 of my old favorites. hell to the yeah!

gawd, i'm so bossy. ;)
~b
yes!
I would love one! Or two or three to give as gifts! What a great idea!
I'd get one!
Hokey fritz! Yes!
Global shipping, as in, to Pakistan, too?
Amazing idea btw!
This sounds superb!!
You can definitely count me in - the global shipping is the real clincher, I can't just go gallivanting about buying everything I want that's US-only...This will be a beautiful way to celebrate every day.
Omg, yes! What a fun, inspiring idea. I love the January sample. :-)
WANT WANT WANT WANT (and a couple extra WANTs as gifts too)
I would love one for me and maybe a couple more for friends. Faboo!
Put me down as interested too, the sample image looks fabulous!
Wonderful! I'd love one!
Me please! I definately want one.
I live in London but I would definately pay a bit extra for overseas postage! xx
That looks awesome, I would love to buy one!
Oh yes! Congrats on your endeavor, how exciting! I think that your calendar will look fab in my kitchen. :)
@Darcie/Sarah: I was just going to suggest having maybe Australia Day on there + Boxing Day + any other big NZ equivalents that I'm not familiar with! I understand they're not so relevant to the rest of the world, but it'd be lovely to see them there alongside all the other fun and quirky holidays. However, it's not a deal breaker. :)
And hello, 100th comment party in my comment form, if you catch my drift. ;)
Found you via http://twitter.com/MoreMagicAlways. The calendar looks gorgeous.

Oh Dude. What if I told you that I have visions of a Yes and Yes *journal/planner/adventure book?!*
