Becky Kelly's 2004 calendar is the best one I've seen in a long, long time. When I am looking for a calendar (my annual search begins in late summer)one of my prerequisites is that the monthly pictures relate to an event which occurs during that month. Not only do Ms. Kelly's illustrations fill the bill, each picture is charming beyond description. I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite from the 12 artworks as each one is special in its own way. The illustrations are not the only thing that sets this calendar apart from all the others--the format is different and imaginative and the quality of the materials used is excellent. The calendar pages, which are held together with a wired ribbon, are made from thick, glossy paper and on the back of each removable page is a larger more detailed version of that month's illustration. Becky Kelly and Andrews & McMeel have together created a winning combination with "Hopscotch Days and Firefly Nights". Summer is not even over, but I am already itching to hang my 2004 Becky Kelly calendar!

This 2004 calendar is extra special. The format is a VERY welcome change from the usual, but it is Becky Kelly's artwork that really sets this calendar apart. The illustrations for each month are not only charming they are also seasonal, which is a "must" when I'm calendar shopping. The monthly pictures are full of detail and there are additional coordinating touches on each page which add to the calendar's charm. The pages are held together with a removable ribbon which doubles as a hanger and on the back of each page there is a larger version of that month's illustration which is suitable for framing--this is a calendar that "keeps on giving" long after its original purpose has been fulfilled. There are thousands of calendars out there, but creative ones like this are few and far between. Becky Kelly and Andrews & McMeel have come up with a real winner and I am hoping that this calendar will not be their last. I hate to wish my life away, but I really WILL be itching for 2004 to get here so I can hang my Hopscotch Days and Firefly Nights calendar.

I love this calendar! It is sooooo beautiful. All of my friends are jealous. You'll love it too!
