This is a beautiful calendar. Every day you walk by and look at the picture of the month on the wall, it gives you a sense of peace and tranquility. You will enjoy this calendar -- buy it!!!

I bought this calendar as a gift for my brother, as we both thought the pictures were beautiful. These calendars always make a lovely gift as they are a good quality and last for the entire year.

I normally love Thomas Kinkade calendars. I absolutely have to get one each year and immediately hang it on my wall. Not only do I get a calendar to keep my life organized, I get a beautiful piece of art. But I felt the need to write a review of the 2009 calendar this year because of the format. While the calendar format in the past has usually been neutral and complimentary to the art above, this year there are bold borders running around the calendar layout. Some colors are not so bad, while others tend to look garish and take away from the art. January for example, has a deep lavender color bordering the top half, while the sides are bordered with a close up of the piece of art above; the close up in this case being bright red flowering trees. The bottom of each month is bordered with a neutral color and includes a scripture passage which is a nice addition, and I have no qualms with that. Anyway, like I said, other months have more complimentary borders, so it's not all bad. Overall I just found the thick colorful borders to look a bit tacky on my wall, and they distracted from the beautiful artwork above, which is a shame.

Love Thomas Kinkade paintings. Watch the DVD of his life story and why he paints light. Interesting. I also have a table or desk calendar of his.

I was looking for a calendar for my husband. He keeps up with all the bills with a wall calendar. I have had trouble in the past with the squares being too small to write in or the pages being flimsy and drooping on the wall. I do not have this problem with this calendar. It is very sturdy and has nice thick pages. The squares are big enough to write in. The pictures on every month are just beautiful. This is an excellent product. I would not hesitate to order this again if I needed one for a gift or another one for myself.

This calender was a delight when I received it. Being a fan of Kincade - I was NOT disappointed!! Shipping was quick and the condition was great. I would highly recommend.

I buy one of these every year. I have one of those wooden calendar holders that requires a 12 by 13 inch calendar. The Kincaid paintings are beautiful, so the calendar make a nice addition on my kitchen wall. There is plenty of space to write daily activities in for each day.

Calendars were carefully packed in a box
and arrived in EXCELLENT condition.
These calendars are wonderful gifts for
the holiday.

This calendar is nice, elegant and very colorful. It would be a great gift or something to buy for yourself.

I love this painter and the calendar lets me enjoy the scenes every day. I bought three as gifts this year for friends.
