calendar swap: what i sent

This past month, I participated in the calendar swap organized by Design Crush and i am a greedy girl. Jennifer was my swap partner, and she sent the following suggestions on what she was looking for:

*wall calendar
*something with letterpress (though not necessary)
*something with her favorite colors, teal and gray

Stay tuned to find out what calendar Jennifer sent me.
