My old calendar is special,as it has pictures from a blog I visit daily. It’s made of high quality paper too. I’m going to make a coffee table booklet out of it!

Laminated calendar pictures make great placemats too.

I’m glad I stumbled unto this site. I am somewhat of a packrat (but a very neat one since I classify my collections! I want to know where everything is so I could grab them immediately in a moment of need) and I save old calendars among other things. I use them to decorate sturdy boxes that I also save and use for storage of anything (rmember I am an orderly packrat) or as wastebaskets. When I first came to the States, I was appalled at the way the people I came across waste so much of their resources — food, non-perishable goods, office materials, etc. Again, I am glad to know not all Americans are such profligates.

I sometimes go back and revisit my calenders to see what my family was up to during previous years. Sometimes we can rediscover outings we enjoyed but forgot about.

It’s also a good way for me to guage previous illness and doctor’s visits as I have a few chronic conditions and often use the calender to monitor symptoms. Sometimes you can spot a cycle this way.

These are great ideas, I always save mine and the only thing I have come up with are making envelopes out of them and cutting them up for gift tags.

Great ideas! I also like to keep last years calender to remind me of when my last dentist apointment, vision check up etc. was.

I can not believe I never thought of a single use for an old calendar. Too bad I didn’t read this before I tossed it.

Wish I had read this before tossing five years worth of calendars not too long ago! These are great ideas! Thanks, Sara.
