Orange Circle 2013 Do It All! planner, Bold Blossoms (31502)

This calendar is absolutely perfect for a super busy student or mom! What it doesn't show is the magnet on the bottom of the back and top so that you could hang it wherever that hold magnets. Plus you have a little plastic hole at the top if you want to hang it on the wall/cork board and it won't rip like most calendars. The little folded compartment at the bottom is perfect for holding papers, pens, little important things. Also, the little package of stickers it comes with is genius! They say everything from many different holidays to party and movie night to doctors visits and birthdays plus MANY more. You'll be extremely happy you bought this. Also, FAST shipping. Purchased one day, shipped out the next and then two days later it was at my door! FIVE STARS!

Okay. Though I LOVE the look of this calendar, and was SO ready to move on from the childishness of the Boynton calendars I'd been using for years...this calendar was a huge disappointment. The pages are paper thin and porous. Horrible if you use markers or (my eternal preference) Sharpies. My calendar was quickly messy and unusable. I am shocked at the lack of paper quality used in this product. Back to Boynton I go. This reminds me of the days when pregnant women had to wear huge pink bow-embellished dresses, because there were no other decently made options in maternity wear. Why, why can't we Moms have a decent calendar? Ugh. "Do It All"? Really? Then let me use reasonable writing implements.Yuck.

This calendar has plenty of room to write appointments. I was disappointed because the pages were thinner than expected. I hate writing on calendars and having the ink smear because it hasn't dried quickly enough. I remedied this by getting an alcohol based pen which works great. Unfortunately, one this calendar it leaks through to the other side. The product description says the pages are thick enough so the ink won't show on the other side, but it's not true.

The designs on this calendar are bold and beautiful and the colors are great! The pocket is sturdy enough to hold several sheets of paper, a pen, a few envelopes, etc. There are two reasons I'm not giving 5 stars: 1) The pages are not glossy and a little bit thinner than most calendars so if you write with a fine-point Sharpie it bleeds through to the other side. I found that you can use those thin Flair markers without a problem, so not a huge deal but would be nice if it was made with slightly thicker paper. 2) The stickers are really cute and fun and I was excited to use them; however as you get farther down the sheet the cut lines get more and more off target so the bottom couple rows are useless because it cuts off half of the sticker with the one above.

Started with August 2012 and goes through January 2014, which was perfect for me. Very happy with all of the stickers that help identify special days or events. Has been a great tool for my typically unorganized and decentralized social, family, work, school, etc. calendars. Pretty too, but not overbearingly so. My husband has barely noticed it!

I've bought this calender for several years now, and still love it. I love the fact that it's magnetized so I can stick it to the side of my fridge. And I love the pocket and by the end of the year, it's stuffed with things. I like the large area to write things each day. I choose this over other "mom's busy calender" options because being a single mom with just one child, I don't need those lines for each specific person. It's sturdy, but I do tape some extra magnets to the back of the calender, just for extra support, just in case. They're definitely not necessary, but if you do load your pocket, it helps.The cons. It's really just one main one, but I was dissapointed by the lack of pen this year. Every year it comes with a pen, but more importantly, a place to clip a pen at the top, so the pen is always right there. This year it doesn't have either of those. And while I never use all the stickers and often forget about them, they are fun to use if you remember. I like to addition of specific holiday stickers and that they took the words off some of the stickers so they have more options. But I did find it odd that they had almost every major holiday, except for mother's day.Either way, I would still highly reccomend this calender and look forward to another year with it.

This calendar was exactly what I wanted - it has stickers to signify important events, so you can see what is coming up at a glance. The pages are colorful and of heavy caliber - I recommend this calendar highly!

I love Orange Circle Studios' calendars and planners. They are bright, cheery and well formatted. I thought I was out of luck when I tried to order their 2013 calendar elsewhere and they were soldout. I was late to the calendar buying game this year. I ordered my 2013 calendar in March 2013 (oops). The price for the item from this seller was steeper than I wanted, (I bought it elsewhere over the past 2 years for twelve or less), but the quality of the calendar is so worth it that I had to get it this year too!
