As most of you know, when you place an order you may recieve a free gift. When I went to choose one from the free gift selection, I decided to go with the 2012 EdenFantasys Community Calendar. When it arrived, the calendar was just tossed into the box. After getting it almost flat again I started flipping through it, and I was highly disappointed.

First of all, the calendar is spiral bound, but in my opinion a strung bound spine is better. When you go through the calendar you will see a variety of pictures with little quotes by famous people (one for each month of the year.) To me, none of the pictures tied together. There was no theme, just random pictures. Then I thought that this calendar would at least have some of Edens community events listed in it or maybe some new toy arrival dates, but it didn't, just lots of holidays. Some were other countries holidays which was nice.

So, all in all, the 2012 Eden's Community Calendar was just a regular calendar. For those who are still interested, here are a few things about the calendar. The cover of the calendar has the Eden Fantasys logo, and "2012 Community calendar" surrounded by the pictures that are in the calendar. The back of the calendar reads as follows: "This calendar represents the culmination of a labor of love undertaken by the Eden Photographers Club and EdenFantasys on behalf of the EdenFantasys community. Within are photos taken by members of the EdenFantasys community, not neatly manipulated professional photos by professionals in photoshoots, but rather wonderful, real photos taken by wonderful, real people. Each month represents something that characterizes our community and shows where, why, and how we live. It is the breadth of diversity of this inclusive community that makes it a collective special place to share our hopes, aspirations, angst, and desires. It is our hope that this calendar will provide those of you who are a part of the community and those who are considering joining us to see what makes us... us." Along with each picture, every month on each calendar page is the Edenfantasys logo on the right, with the month and year on the left side. The squares where the dates are are large enough to write in.

I use it, but mainly because I don't have another calendar.

All in all, it's just another calendar. I still use it, but it's there because I don't have another one, and it's so late in the year already.
