Hello! I recently sent you a question about not receiving the downloadable calendar but I have since received it! It is so beautifully designed! I love how simple it is but it is still very very beautiful! Thank you so much for making it and offering it to us!
I have downloaded your calendar and your meal plan templates so far! I was wondering if you could tell me the font (or something similar) that you use to make the month names in the calendar. I would like to make a personal cover page for my calendar and would love if it would match!
Thanks so much!
Hi Emilee! I’m not sure the font as we hired a designer to make these. I’m glad to hear you love the calendar! :)
