It's a date
Come Christmas in the Hollands household, I could always count on a wall or desk calendar waiting for me under the tree. Maybe "Horses of the World."

These days, I'm all about the Google calendar and keeping my appointments online. But, I could change my digital ways for a Nikki McClure calendar. The Olympia-based paper-cut artist puts out a calendar of her prints each year that doubles as a work of art. The stark monthly images feature a single, inspirational word, like "Insure," "Revive," and "Learn."
