Yes, calendars plural. I love organizing stuff, and this year we got an awesome selection of calendars. My husband got Angry Birds, I was given the Farmer’s Almanac calendar, and I am waiting for a Totoro book from Japan as well. Together we are very excited about the Build-a-Robot calendar we got! If you love paper craft, this is the calendar for you, and it’s on sale right now for just $5.99, so go get one while you can.

It’s not January yet, but I spent a bit of time tonight building January’s robot. It was really fun to put together, and helped me beat away a bit of the winter blahs. Every month has a robot ready to put together with a little folding and some glue. The robots come ready to punch out of their papers, so you don’t have to cut anything, and they have all the folds marked for easy putting together.

I can’t wait to put together a new robot each month! It was really fun to put this one together. If you want to have a little fun each month, the Build-a-Robot calendar is sure to be your new favorite calendar.

I couldn’t wait to post about this because it is so amazing. The Olloclip iPhone Lens turns your iPhone camera into quiet the wonder camera! It’s 3-in-1 lens features a fisheye, a wide angle, and a macro. I was pretty excited about the fisheye lens because I think there is a lot of fun to be had with them. However, once I gave the macro a whirl I was instantly impressed. The macro is amazing!! Here are a few shots with it (remember these were taken with my phone!):

Pretty amazing right? I can’t wait to try it out on more things. We already have been having fun seeing what details we can capture on the tree. And speaking of trees, this is what our tree looks like through the fisheye lens.

If you have an iPhone and enjoy taking photos, you really need one of these! It just slides over the phone, and is easy to take on and off. It’s little so it can fit into your purse no problem, and it works with any photo app too. I do believe I am in love with a lens!

You can find the Olloclip at ThinkGeek, and they have an Olloclip Facebook page where you can also try to win one for yourself! So excited to play with this new toy over the holiday break!
