A few years ago, I designed a calendar project for my daughters. It was a fun project and we thought others might enjoy it too. We decided to use the calendar project to help raise awareness and funds for Scleroderma Research, in honor of my mother who suffers from this autoimmune disease. We raised over $1600!
Last year, we released three versions of the A Muse Calendar and raised over $5,500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of Victoria Nelson, an A Muse customer who had recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease (now in remission - yay!)
It is my pleasure to let you know that the A Muse 2009 - 2010 Calendar is now available for purchase and download. The proceeds from this year's calendar will go to
Water 1st.
Water 1st's mission is to serve families in the poorest communities in the world as they implement community-managed projects that integrate water supply, sanitation, and health education. Safe water saves lives. I encourage you to visit the Water1st website {www.waterfirst.org} to learn more about how this wonderful organization is saving and changing lives!
The Calendars
All versions of the 2009-2010 Calendar include 16 months (September 2009 - December 2010). The minimum donation amount for each calendar is $4. You may also donate $10 or $20 for each calendar. Once you purchase the calendar, you may make as many copies for personal use as you'd like. Electronic sharing of the A Muse Calendar is prohibited, we ask that you encourage your friends to donate to this worthy cause!
Please note: The A Muse Calendars are a download product only. Nothing will be shipped to you. Calendar orders are only processed during regular business hours {monday to friday 8a to 5p}. Once your order has been processed, you will have unlimited access to the file(s) you have purchased.
This year, there are four different A Muse calendar versions available.
A1 (4-bar) Version:
The A1 (4-bar) version is sized to fit an A Muse 4-bar notecard (5"w x 3.5"h). This version also includes a perpetual calendar that is great to remember birthdays and anniversaries. This is a nice size to keep in your purse. Click

A2 version
The A2 version is sized to fit an A2 card (4.25"w x 5.5"H). This calendar format can be printed on an 8.5" x 11" page and cut into 4 equal parts. This version also includes the perpetual calendar for birthdays and anniversaries. This size fits nicely in a CD Calendar case. Click

Square version
The square version is sized to fit a 4.25" square. There are faint gray cutting lines to ensure accuracy when cutting. The square version also includes the perpetual calendar and fits nicely on A Muse square notecards (which are on presently on sale). Click

Full size version
The full size version is NEW this year. It fills an 11"w x 8.5"h page. I created this calendar because I needed a calendar that I could use to keep track of our family activities. And, I love that I can add easily add family photos to the back-side of each calendar page for a one-of-a-kind family calendar. This will make a great gift for family and friends. This calendar version does not include a perpetual calendar. Click

Yay! It's Calendar time! I have been waiting patiently for this year's calendar to be released. Heidi will be happy that I am not emailing her on a daily basis any longer to beg her for it. LOL!
A Muse continues to a-maze me with your generosity and inspiration.
I will be purchasing all versions. THANK YOU!!!
