Get the Free 2012 Hello Kitty Calendar!

It’s here again – a FREE Hello Kitty calendar for 2011! I’ve been searching for this since last December. It’s finally out today!

The Free 2011 Hello Kitty Calendar was such a popular post last year, I decided to share this again.

If you’re a big Hello Kitty fan like I am, you’ll want to download this. After all, it’s free, free, free!

I don’t know if I like this year’s design as much as last year’s calendar. Still, if you’re a fan of Sanrio, you’ll still like it. This 2011 calendar includes Hello Kitty and friends on every month. And the calendar portion is a lot smaller than last year’s, with less room to write stuff. Hint, hint, Sanrio. Hope they change it for next year.

Even though I have a digital calendar on my iPhone, I still love low-tech, paper calendars so I can see a month in full. Then I can see when bills are due and money is coming in. It helps with budget planning.

Though we live in the age of electronic calendars, I still like to use low tech, paper calendars. I like to see the whole month in a glance so I can plan ahead.
