December 2010 Desktop Wallpaper & a Christmas Calendar for the Kids!
Ok, I have two freebies up for December. One for the adults and one for the kids. Let’s start off with the Adult one.
PREVIEW ONLY!!!!!
Above is the preview for the December Wallpaper Calendar for Desktop. It’s a wintry scene, with moons, and the most popular holidays of the month like New Years Eve and Christmas. I kept it simple this month because everyone will no doubt be slammed with all other kinds of chaos. Plenty of room on your desktop as well.
Share these all you want, but please keep the originals. Click the link below for your screen size. Then right click and save as.

CHRISTMAS CALENDAR FOR THE KIDS
Preview ONLY!!!!!
There is only ONE size for this one…because it’s not made for Desktop…. but rather for you to PRINT OUT.
Here is what you do….
Print out the Calendar for your kids. Then let your child X off the days. I do one for each of my children. I hang it on the wall by the Christmas tree and then tie a crayon to it with string. Every night before bed, they get to mark off a day. And they look forward to counting down to Christmas.
You can even add your own important dates to this.
For example, if on the 21st, the kids are supposed to bake cookies with Grandma, then write it on the calendar. If on the 9th, you are taking the kids to get a tree, write it on the calendar. If on the 5th, you are taking GIFTS to the needy…then put it on the Calendar and get the kids involved.
This is a cool and fun way for the kids to get some fun throughout December. And a way they can keep track of things.
CLICK TO SAVE BIG SIZE FOR PRINTING
And remember, it’s the little things you do with kids that MAKE their Christmas. They are only small but for so long. So enjoy them while you can….after all, what would Christmas be without THEM?

FREE September 2010 Desktop Wallpaper Calendar Is Ready!
Preview for September’s Calendar is…..
Above is the preview for the new Desktop Wallpaper for July 2010. PLEASE DO NOT SAVE THE PREVIEW!!! It will not fit right on your screen folks. Will be a blurry nightmare.
(If you like it, then just click the link sizes below, right click, and save as)
Calendar includes: Moon Dates
(If you want the calendar without the moons, let me know)
Inspiration: This one is my farewell to…Summer’s End. I was kind of in the mood of one door closing, another opening…seems like our life is filled with these kinds of seasons and changes. And as far as Summer goes, I am not sure where it went…I just know that its saying good-bye. The calendar includes a lot of magic—because ya’w know I am knee deep in all things Paranormal. I dig the Fantasy aspect too…so here goes it. Maybe what I did will have you day or night dreaming your own meaning.
Feel free to add your own holidays and such, but when sharing, please don’t change anything on the wallpaper. Share the original.
If you need a different size, then just leave me a comment below and tell me what size you want. I will be happy to make it for you, then load it up to my Photobucket Album.
Again, hit the link below with your size, and then right click and save as.
ENJOY!

Free Desktop Wallpaper Calendar for July 2010
Above is the preview for the new Desktop Wallpaper for July 2010.
(If you like it, then just click the link sizes below, right click, and save as)
Inspiration: When people think of summertime, they often imagine sunsets, oceans, or lakes of blue. I don’t. I think of moonlit summer nights, starry skies, fireflies, hazy dreams, wishes, lovers secretly meeting within the shadows, and all sorts of magical things. That’s what inspired this wallpaper. If you like it, then please share it with all of your friends. And if you really like it, keep checking back because I think I’m going to make this a Free Wallpaper without the Calendar part just so people can use it whenever.
Feel free to add your own holidays and such, but when sharing, please don’t change anything on the wallpaper.
This wallpaper has the moon dates but NO holidays since everyone lives in a different place, celebrating different things.
There is a solar eclipse this month, though, so keep an eye out for that.
(If you need a different size, then just leave me a comment below and tell me what size you want. I will be happy to make it for you, and load it up to my Photobucket Album.)
Two Sizes:
ENJOY!!!! And again, please share with all of your friends!

Free May 2010 Desktop Wallpaper Ready!!!!
Preview:
(Please do not save the preview as it is a small size and will NOT fit on your desktop very well as a Wallpaper.)

The Fantasy Wallpaper, which I call Dream Time–Moon Time features some holidays (but nothing insane or cluttering), moon phases (as always). There is a ton of room around the border to put your desktop icons without running them into the actual picture. That way you can keep everything neat and organized.
I hope you enjoy. If you like it, then do shout out so I know someone is getting use out of them. it also helps me to know the popular tastes.
Click on the size below and it will take you to my Photo bucket album where you can RIGHT CLICK and SAVE AS. That’s the easiest way I can think of doing these. And if you do not see your size below, then let me know as well. Maybe I can hook you up.
As always, you can add your own information to these but when sharing with others, please use the originals.
All Artists are watermarked (if I could find them and unless it was art I purchased or was free rights). No copyright infringement intended. These calendars are FREE for personal use and NOT for resale.
Free April 2010 Desktop Wallpaper Calendar Is Ready!

(Please do not save the preview as it is a small size and will NOT fit on your desktop very well as a Wallpaper.)

Because I am a writer, this month I decided to do the Desktop Wallpaper a little softer as if it were a story rising off of the pages. I didn’t want to do anything 3D crazy, just something supple that might sweep you away into your daydreams every time you look at it.
The Fantasy Wallpaper features some holidays (but nothing insane or cluttering), moon phases (as always), and a day or setting of the sun on one side and a mystical moon scene on the other. There are gentle colors because spring is just beginning and there is a ton of room around the border to put your desktop icons without running them into the actual picture. That way you can keep everything neat and organized.
I hope you enjoy, if not…tell me what you didn’t like so we can maybe fix it. If you like it, then do shout out because it encourages me to keep making them.
Click on the size below and it will take you to my Photo bucket album where you can RIGHT CLICK and SAVE AS.
I didn’t make a 800x 600 anymore because I was unsure if everyone still used this size or not. If you do, shout so I can get one sized. If there is a size you use that isn’t here, let me know as well. if its a common one, I will make that too.
As always, you can add your own information to these but when sharing with others, please use the originals.

Free Christmas Calendar for the Kids!
Every year I make these for my kids and every year, I offer it up to the rest of the web. The idea of this is to either put it on your desktop, OR, as I do, print it out and hang it on the wall for your children. I make one for each of my kids and then every night before bed, they get to take a crayon and mark out the days until Christmas.
Now you know as soon as you put up the tree or a child catches wind that this is the month of Santa, they will bug you and bug you…” MOM WHEN IS XMAS???” lol Well this helps you with that. Your children get to figure it out for themselves. lol
This is something Free and easy to do. If you do not have children, well save it and email it to a friend that does. Or pass it onto your grandchildren or someone who has grandchildren, nieces, nephews, neighbors, whoever.
Christmas is all about memories, and for me this is all about making those memories with my kids. And as you can see by Santa in the calendar, he is having a good laugh at some of his …well…own memories.
So if you choose to save this…enjoy!
Preview:
The Calendar does not go past the 25th of December because, well, this is all about the kids and getting them to CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!! lol
If you would like to have this Calendar, CLICK HERE to get it full size. Don’t worry…the link is taking you to my Photo bucket album. Once you get there, just right click and save as.
