Get organized with this (monthly view) calendar. Here’s an affiliate link for the chalk pens on Amazon: They are great for chalkboards you want to keep more “permanent”. This way, when I erase the board every month, only the events erase (since I use regular chalk to fill in the squares). I used a (semi-permanent) chalk pen on the quote, days of the week, and grid lines (I did 4-inch squares). Anyway, I’ll just be a day late (or early) switching the months, and this will solve my problem. Unfortunately, I didn’t think about the fact that a few months start on Saturday and actually require 6 boxes down (Like this month, March 2014). I went with 7 boxes across for the days of the week and 5 boxes down. Making the calendar lines was the hardest part. If you don’t know this technique, I promise it’s fairly simple and you can check out my tutorial HERE. Then, I used the technique I shared in a previous post to get my perfect lettering. (I did two coats for this project.)
