a printable 2021 calendar & a huge thank you

Hello my friends!! Here we are, at the end of 2020. What a damn year, huh? But it's over! Yay!!

I know things are a long ways away from going back to anything resembling the ~before times~ and it's been a long weird hard year in myriad ways but I hope there have been pockets of joy somewhere in there for y'all. Please share those little moments !! I'd love to hear them!!

For me, I think the two biggest things were I started streaming and I got my studio. :•) Twitch has been so so much more fun than I could have ever anticipated, and I've made a really rad little circle of streaming friends, and my Twitch community has grown in a way that is so awesome and really heartwarming. (Here's the link for my discord, btw!! I still don't have any little patron badges set up, but I hope you enjoy hanging out regardless :D) I love playing video games, and I'm really happy that now I have an outlet to share that love with you guys!! As well as art streams, which are also fun (and legit help me focus)

And then my studio!!! It's such a neat space that I'm already starting to settle into and love. Having the separation of work and home has been even more relieving than I thought it'd be, and it feels awesome to have a dedicated space to go and focus to make stuff. Obviously, I would never have been able to take this plunge if it weren't for y'all ;—; I thank you from the very very bottom of my heart. I get all weepy when I think about you guys and the fact that you choose to support me and my little art journey here on the interweb. I know that I'm a rather inconsistent poster, and my mental health is a bit tumultuous — I'm eternally grateful for your kindness and patience, and I just love hanging out with y'all here in this little pocket of the internet. <33333 (imagine a HUGE heart emoji)

I know that the idea of planning seems absolutely absurd, but you're also welcome to use this calendar to just..keep track of time passing. These past 9 months have simultaneously been endless but also passed so so quickly, and I know that's a matter of these months being so similar that my brain has just smushed all the memories together so they take up less space in my brain which is why it seems so quick but ALAS! Here we are!! Time isn't real, but we've still got hopes and dreams, and I hope these cutie calendars can help in one way or another. 

Look how cuuuuuute!!! I was def inspired by Studio Dalgona (they have MASTERED the cute and functional stationery game, I'm in awe of everything they put out). This was very fun to work on~ I've got a .zip file attached below with .pngs of all 12 months. :•) They are letter sized, as that's what I use here in the States, but they'll still fit onto an A4 piece of paper. 

I love you! I think you're incredible!!! I hope your new year's holiday is cozy, safe, bright, merry, all that good jazz. Happy New Year, my loves! (and please tell me your joys from this past year!!)

All my love,
Chey

Happy New Year to you and your sweet little fam! This year has been weird but I also gave me the time to reflect and take care of myself like I never have before. I quit my job under an abusive boss! Found your vlogs along with so many other wonderful artists on YouTube and felt less alone for it. Created more than I have since I was in art school. I rescued a new kitty, he’s now my little shadow and in love with my other male cat! I made a group of queer gals and non-binary folks and they are now my closest friends and we talk everyday. I started taking commissions and recently I had stickers printed!!

Jess

Have a lovely New Year Chey! I hope you and Connor and Soph find a lot of fun, love and happiness in 2021! Seeing you thrive gives the rest of us that added boost to go for our own goals because we see you and it inspires us. I'm getting back into my creative pursuits from the inspiration I get from seeing your work, and I love the feeling of receiving some of your beautiful creations through the post. I can't wait to see what else you do in the future, and congratulations on your new studio. I adore it! I love the cozy vibes from all you do, and you are so kind and genuine that we all love you. I am so using your calendar this year and I look forward to doing some more of my own creative pursuits so I can grow just as I have seen you grow. :)

Marissa Watson

Adorable!!

BrennaBeloved

this is so fun!! my favorite thing about this year was really learning how to make little things exciting - like I learned how to make so many fancy coffee drinks, I made sea salt from ocean water, I made so many crafts. one day last week I only brought orange foods to work for lunch because I thought it was funny. I know saying "it's the little things" sounds so 😵‍💫 but it really is the little things!

Erin Brent

It’s so cute. Thank you :)

Kayla Jacobs

Aw this is so cute! The year for me has been very up and down, but one of my biggest ups was that I passed my board exam! I’m now a clinical laboratory scientist. Have a happy new year! I really find you and your art to be inspirational. Thanks for all you do <3

Brittany

So excited for the calendar!! Despite this year my photography “business” has grown into a business!

Madison

this year has weirdly been one of the worst and best in my (very lucky!) case! I met the love of my life through concerned friends telling me not to binge-watch and to talk to another human back in April, and I've moved to a whole new place to start uni, and I'm loving my degree! thanks for your lovely cozy vids making this year so much more bearable! <3

Janie Winter

Ohhh the calendar looks so sweet💖 happy new year!! For me the highlights of this year were me starting therapy finally, I found that I love drawing (thanks to you, actually✨) and I discovered your videos at the beginning of 2020 and they helped me through some of my toughest times💖💖 Thank you for being such an inspiration to me❤️

Pilleriin Albri

Thank you! I needed badly a new calendar so this cute one is a real gift at the right time! and when you have chronic health problems, pandemy or not, you have appointments to note. <3

Bourdet Emilie

I hope you, Connor and Sophie have a very merry new year! ☺️ I absolutely LOVE this calendar, it will have pride of place by my desk all year round 🥺 as for highlights of my year, probably starting my new degree in Theatre Arts in a new city, as well as getting my own lil studio flat and starting my lil Etsy art business!! That last thing was made possible by the inspiration I got from you, so thank you so much for that 🥰 I love you lots and lots, your videos are always the highlight of my day!! Happy new year :)) ❤️

Iona M Jones

cheyenne! I love the calendar so much! my highlights this year have been the fact that I've been very lucky and every one of my family and friends has been healthy and okay. I also started my last year of uni and got my dream grad project. and to top it all off, a stray kitty came into our garden one day and never left, so we adopted her (or she adopted us?) and now she's the light of our life. it's the 2020 redemption arc. sending you all the good vibes and hoping you have a good 2021 - can't wait to see what you do!

May

2020 has been rough, but here are some small highlights for me: good vibes on social media (like Cheyenne's videos!), reconnected with a very dear friend who moved back to my city, quit my old job in retail and got a new one as an online editor which I can work in full time after I finish university next year (no unemployment after uni, yay!), Animal Crossing (cause it kept me very busy during Covid). I wish you all a better 2021, even though I still believe times will stay difficult...

ErdbeerRei

My friend had her first baby and he is the apple of my eye he is 5 months old and watching him grow is such a joy

Jamie Suterland

Thank you so much! This has been a hard year for sure but finding you and this community has been a highlight ✨ something great about this year is that all this time inside gave me more time to explore my hobbies and made me realize that I was missing a creative outlet for so long! I started sharing my art and have taken some commissions and started my own tiny shop. Thank you for being an inspiration and for sharing so much of yourself with us ❤️

Pamela Ruiz

Oh my goodness I can’t wait to use this!! Happy new year :)

Olivia Cobb

Omg I just opened the files and they are so cute! They start on Mondays! and February is so satisfying u👄u

TeslaDarwin

Hi Cheyenne! Thank you for being a beacon of light this year ✨ my small joy is that I finally gave myself permission to take art seriously and you inspired me to do it. I was always so scared that I would never grow and that I would always be bad at it but your openness about your own struggles and your own perceived “flaws” (I like everything you do haha) has given me the confidence to tell myself that if you can get past those fears then so can I. I wish you and Sophie and Connor a very merry new year 💕

Hannah Willard

Happy New Year! This is actually the first time I’ve ever commented on here before. I found your videos actually around this time last year if I’m remembering correctly. They are so relaxing and help me when I get overwhelmed or anxious. A lot has happened this year, for me my good things would be graduating from high school even if I didn’t get a graduation. I got a new cat even if she can be a terror sometimes I love her to bits. I was able to buy a Switch with my bonus from my new job. I’m not much of a gamer I’m more of a reader myself but my boyfriend is showing me a lot and I’m starting to get hooked. I bought animal crossing and he just got me Breath of the Wild and I’ve been playing it nonstop. Thank you so much just for being you! I hope this year is good to you, along with Connor and Sophie.

Shelby Kinnin

Thank you so much Cheyenne, this is so generous and thoughtful. Your wonderfully balanced blend of positivity and kindness alongside being honest and realistic about the struggles you face has meant the world to me, especially in a year like this. I'm so grateful I found you and the beautiful community you've created, and I feel more safe and confident going into the new year because of it. Thank you so much, and have a very Happy New Year. 💖

Charlie

happy new year!!!! as awful as this year was i’m so glad that there was opportunity for growth and that we could find some comfort in our art. i actually started selling portraits on a serious term and started my art instagram account at the end of the year and i’m so happy with how it’s grown! i’m hoping to be able to do commissions or sell originals/printables on etsy next year and support myself when my day job can’t!!!! i hope 2021 brings you so much happiness and growth and prosperity!!!💓✨
