DIY Third Annual Owl Lover 2013 Calendar from My Owl Barn here. I posted this last year and it would make a great gift for an owl lover. You get to pick from forty images created by amazing artists and the months you want them to go with. From the site:

The calendar is completely customizable; you can select the images for all the months you want to print and create your own free calendar or you can simply download the pre-made version.

Owl Lover 2013 is a collaborative project between My Owl Barn and over 40 artists from all over the globe who make this project unique on the net and has created a community of like minded people who admire art.

Truebluemeandyou: I downloaded my version last year. There are so many styles of art by so many artists that you can customize it to the recipient.

DIY “Jam in the Toilet” Button Jars Tutorial from Anna Evers here. “Jam in the Toilet” = Chrome Spanish to English translation. This reminds me of my post here where the translation of gold spray painted animals on jars became “Pimp My Pickle Jars” (now all over the internet).  

Truebluemeandyou: because I love translations gone awry.
