Ever since I saw the pretty cut paper images by Amy of Angry Chicken and by Alicia of Posie Gets Cozy a while back, I've been thinking of trying my hand at a paper cutting project myself. In my internet perusal of the craft, I came upon the blog of Rob Ryan, whose work knocks my socks off.
Rob made the generous offer on his blog to send out free copies of his lovely remaining 2008 desk calendars, and I was lucky enough to receive one before he ran out of them. Actually, I was lucky enough to receive two. I smell a giveaway. And I smell a random guessing game to go along with it. If you're interested in receiving Rob's calendar, leave a comment here guessing the date of the last time I got my haircut (cut paper... hair cut... humor me, I know it's a stretch). It was within the last year (so guesses going back to April 2, 2007 are appropriate), and bang trims don't count. Leave your guess by midnight tomorrow, April 3rd, Portland/Pacific time, and I'll send the calendar to the closest guesser before the weekend. Oh, and if you have any great paper cutting references, I'd love to hear about those, too. The blove marches on...

...giveaways are so much fun.
guessing games are even better!
My guess...March 27th, 2008.
Thanks for the great link! I used to do traditional German paper cutting quite a few years ago and just last week I was thinking about starting it again. I love his modern take on the craft!
And let's see, just for fun - I think you got your hair cut last on Feb. 4th.
My guess is December 4th, 2007
ooo! great calendar!
my guess is my birthday! April 29, 2007!
Um... May 24th?
The calendar is beautiful. I love his work too.
oohh! That's very cool!
My guess is...hmmm...March 8, 2008
I'm guess before your move from the east coast . I'll say June 3, 2007.
Cool stuff! Just to humor you further, I'm picking 2/8/08 because C-U-T spells 2-8-8 on my work phone!
Back to work... ;)
I guess July 28th
I love your random guessing games... i am going to say 2/1/08
I guess March 1, 2008.

Febrary 29th (cause of leap year and all that!!)
hmmm this is so random- I think December 21st. The Friday before Christmas...
Oh such mystery - so fun! I'll guess June 26, 2007. And, um, though I like to play fair, just so you know, I still don't have a 2008 calendar.
Loving your blove this week!!
My guess is June 13, 2007. What a fun game!
i'll take a cut in the dark... (ha ha) and 09 may 2007 (but, only because it's my mum's birthday...) so, now i'm going to go back into your archives and see if there are any hints and whatnot...
and, i must say... (i'm a little behind) i just saw the thing design sponge did on your home and i love it! can i live in your home? please?
yay! we're headed into the weekend!
if someone guess correctly does that mean you are going to show us a picture of your hair? :o) You don't need to include me in the draw I do love the calendar but I have already won a give away on your blog before and don't want to be greedy!
my guess... 22 august 2007
...this is so exciting!
Love the calendar!
My guess is May 1st...
oh, i'm so wanty!!
my guess is march 7th.
7-7-07 is my guess.
I will guess that your last haircut was Jan. 12, 2008. Thanks for doing fun giveaways, they are like the adult equivalent of opening a box of cereal with a toy when I was a kid.
I am guessing Jan. 18th.
I hope I win!
Jan 18th, 2008, that is!
I have NO idea... but I'll guess MY last haircut: 9/27/07. OY!
I need to get my haircut. Hee.
I think you last had your hair cut round about November the 18th 2007? What a gorgeous and different caldar that is :^)
my keyboard keeps missing out letters, please add the letters EN to the word Caldar in the previous post hah!
