I have those little sticky back calendars with a tractor or a building shown on it and I use them all over the place. My favorite place is in the bathroom! Can get a lot of planning done in there!!!!! I have one on my sewing machine, a pocket calendar on the inside of my kitchen cupboard. Oh, take it back - none in the bedroom - but in the car, the basement, the porch, sewing room, front room, living room (computer desk, of course,) and in my wallet.

At my age, I need all the help I can get. I can forget the date from the sewing machine to the kitchen.

I don't forget days, but dates I do!

We all know to go to the refrigerator if we need to look at a calendar. Then, my youngest DD makes me a Shutterfly calendar every year with our own personal pictures on it. So, it is in our living room on the wall and is more like a picture album with the pictures changing every month. Love it.

when I read your reply about your mom sending you a cloth calendar I remembered seeing a beautiful quilt made out of yearly cloth calendars. I wish I could remember where I saw it. Anyway it's an idea, if you saved any of them.

When we listed our house, two different 'stagers' came. The first had us remove anything personal (which calendars usually are) and remove items so the rooms would look bigger. The second went even further and was a strong believer in 'feng shui.' So if you're looking a homes to buy, you probably won't see much that could be considered 'personal.'

Almost forgot
 
DH laughs at me cause I have calendars -- and clocks -- everywhere. There's the "family calendar" on the pantry door, but if DH doesn't put his appts on it, I can't help him get to them on time (there's a longer story here.) There's one next to the main house phone and one next to my desk. Did I mention one in my bathroom? Gotta know what day it is when I get up in the morning. There are also several magnetic ones on the fridge. I can't claim to ever look at them, but they come in the mail and I can always use another fridge magnet.

I actually have no obsessive/compulsive tendancies, I just like calendars!

Almost forgot -- there's one next to the sewing machine, of course!

None at all. I do remember growing up as always having a calendar hanging on the kitchen wall and making notes on it. Now, My DH just wings it to remember stuff and I rely on my iPhone for home and my Blackberry for work. I don't know why we stopped using one.

I have a calendar also. As a matter of fact I just got next years at Costco.

I have one with large blocks that hangs inside the kitchen pantry door. It is the LAW that both my DH and I post EVERYTHING to avoid conflicts. I use color markers to code which event belongs to which person and one that includes both of us.

With all the electronics in the house this seems primitive, but it works.

We have a big-squared one in the kitchen. For our doings, and the 5 kids, and 5 grandkids, happenings, etc.
I also have a fun one in my sewing room.

Yes I have a total of 4 calendars hanging up.
1 on the small freezer near my desk.
2 on the wall near the kitchen (one is from Italy a gift from FIL and step MIL).
1 in the bathroom. (will explain if anyone REALLY wants to know).
