It's a New Year! Habit Tracker


I was kindly notified by someone that the calendar that I created back in 2014 and posted to this blog for people to use for personal use had been taken and was being sold on etsy as theirs. It was their best selling item in their shop. That can be frustrating when you love creating things and want to share it with others and find that you have had your work stolen to make money from it. I'm dealing with it, but am also grateful for the lessons I learned. 

1. It's ok to sell my stuff.

2. My work creations are worth buying.

3. There are good people out there that don't know you, but want to see that good/justice is done for you (thank you Jackie!)

4. I learned that I should still put stuff on my blog here. hahaha It's been a while since I mostly moved to my art Instagram page (here) under the name The_Lost_Button 

5. It's easy to move on and I'm excited about the many other things I can put in my shop that I hadn't thought to do. I guess I figured it had to be only big things. So thank you to the stealer of this calendar... you taught me another avenue I can use Etsy for. :)


Happy New YEAR! If you are like me and like to keep track of goals by something you can substantially touch and color in, then you'll love this calendar. I made it because it's hard to narrow down what I want to do in my life. I get excited about a lot of things. I can burn out when I do that though, so this calendar can be used for one goal for the whole year, but it can also be to choose a new focus every month. If you'd like to download it, go over to my etsy shop here- it's super cheap- only $1.35, because I still want basically anyone to use it that would like to- unless they are the thieving type. haha

12/4/23 Update: If you are wanting a new calendar for 2024 that can be used for the leap year- I have created that and put it in the shop (here). Some people had mentioned that they wanted an updated design- more cleaned up, larger numbers and not handwritten. So I made a 2024 version of that as well and put that (here) in my etsy shop. You can print them in 4 sizes (US, A4, A5, and Hobonichi Weeks journal size to spread across 2 pages. I've made other kinds of calendars and habit and health trackers for my etsy page too this last year.
