Here are some of the ways you've been earning badges lately:

"I'm running a Yarn Love Camp for my business this week, and I'm sending these out to my campers as a thank-you. They're perfect!" - @yarnloveyarn through Instagram, needlecraft badge

"I completed a full year's worth of commuting 30 miles by bicycle each day five days a week," - Jeremy through Facebook, cyclist badge

"...my job in the [U.S. Air Force] is weather so I got this patch to wear on my vest and it’s perfect!" - Nicole through Etsy, cloudspotter badge

“Patches to commemorate Millie's first year milestones…” - @ginaschlosser through Instagram (pictured above), multiple badges

“I'm keeping my kids home this summer and treating it as a summer camp, with merit badges.” - Rob through Etsy, multiple badges

“Fostered a dog this month. Had a lot of laughs. And occasional frustrations. He went to a wonderful family. I got this badge.” - @lovebasedlifeform through Instagram, wildlife study badge

I love seeing the goals everyone has set! That's my favorite part about this project—it's all what you make of it.

I get a little melancholy when the year turns and it's time to take down my calendar. We've spent a 12 months together, after all. Of course we've gotten a little attached! I'm considering buying a perpetual calendar, or one that you use over and over again. The calendars that most interest me catalog years gone by (kind of like an analog version of Timehop) or help you remember birthdays and important events (I could use a little help in that department). If you're into that, too, these calendars will get you through many years ahead.
