My 2011 Calendar

My favorite new 2010 television show is Hawaii Five-0 for a few reasons.

#1. I was a fan of the original series.
#2. The new series stands on its own. It's not just another remake. 
#3. I've been an Alex O'Loughlin fan since he starred in Moonlight  and Scott Caan makes a pretty good Danno too.


So when 2011 calendars started making their way onto store and kiosk shelves I started looking for a Hawaii Five-0 calendar. I could not believe I couldn't find one - anywhere. I checked online too. Nope!

How could that be possible?

Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat and I put my own calendar together. It didn't turn out half bad either.

Maybe next year someone in the marketing world will get a clue and there will be some Hawaii Five-0 calendars on store shelves.

If not, well, I'll just make my own again.

  2. :) I haven't watched it yet. I never get in on a series from the beginning and then never want to pick up in the middle of it.

    Very smart of you just to make your own calendar - it looks very professional!

  5. Great calendar. You should sell them. I haven't watched the new series but loved the old one. James MacArthur was a teen heartthrob way back then :)

  8. Meowmomma, Sorry about the cat reference. Think big cat, like mountain lion.

    Lanyardlady, James MacArthur was the main reason I watched the original. It was sad when he passed away last year.

    Ryan, I understand that the series has been sold internationally so maybe you'll see it in 2011.

  9. Hey, I have a picture taken with Al Harrington from the old Hawaii Five - O. lol He was "Ben" in the show. I wondered if this would be a good show. Happy New Year to you.

  13. My cousin and his wife make calendars every year for holiday gifts for their circle of family and friends. They use photographs that they've taken in their travels. The calendars are always beautifully done.

    Now yours is vogue as well! And perfect since it reflects your favorite TV show! Well done! And I also agree--you should make a few and see if they sell!

  17. I know down at the bookstore where I work you had to buy your calendars way back before Christmas to get anything decent. I agree you did a great job making your own. =) Mine is always a cat calendar.

  20. Necessity is the mother of invention, after all. ;) And you probably saved a lot of money, too. You should link this creation to my party: http://thebrambleberrycottage.blogspot.com/2010/12/time-travel-thursday-25-sweet-dreams.html

    Happy, happy New Year!!!
