I AM PUBLISHING A TEACHER CALENDAR!
It's been a long time coming, and I've been harboring this secret for a little bit too long. That's why I'm so excited I finally get to share this new product releasing on August 6, 2024.
To show your excitement for it, PRE-ORDERS are available now! I know it seems like a longgg time away, on top of actually using the calendar (it starts January 2025), but pre-orders help the success of the calendar launch.
If you are excited and interested in this calendar for yourself or a special teacher in your life, preorder today!
WHERE TO PREORDER
Pageaday.com
Amazon
Barnes and Noble
Calendars.com
Can't wait for all of us to get copies at the same time starting August 6th! It'll be so fun. Not to mention, it's back to school time and teachers love a good calendar gift.
INSPIRATION
I wanted to make the calendar pages colorful and unique, in proper Created By Christine fashion!
Quotes are important to me, so each page includes an education-related quote. My editor and I first decided on the manuscript (the quotes) before any artwork was done.
As for the illustrations, sometimes I stared at the blank canvas for a long, agonizing time. But once I doodled, I started visualizing sparks of ideas. I wanted the designs to have a nod to the teacher life, but not scream teacher. I guess you could say I envisioned a happy medium.
I kept a vibrant yet calming color palette, and yet, I still feel energized when I look at each month's design. It took a lot of drafts and back and forth round of revisions. The outcome has been worth the while!

Dedication and special thanks
Shoutout to the team at Workman Publishing for working with me on this special project. Thank you to my editor, Rachael, for believing in me and guiding me through this process.
Lots of love to my internet community on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube. Your support brought us here!
To my partner, Evan, my family, and dear friends: You now can have teacher calendars all over your walls even though none of you are teachers (except my dad) <3
Finally, thank you TEACHERS. You take on a challenging job each and every day. You are an inspiration to so many; you've inspired me to illustrate the designs featured in this calendar (thank you a million). Truly, thank you for making the world a better place.
All my love,
