The Wait is Over, 2025 Calendars Are Out!

Thank you for the emails asking if I would release the 2025 calendars soon. Your encouraging words motivated me to create whimsical art and work hard to make calendars that will bring joy and happiness to you every month of the year. 

I love how the calendars turned out!

I also feel good that I can lend a helping hand by using my art skills to advocate for animals in need.

This year's calendars are titled "Rabbit in the Moon."  

The story of the Rabbit in the Moon is a Japanese folktale about a rabbit who is rewarded for his selflessness by being taken to live on the moon: This is one of my favorite stories I loved as a child, growing up in Japan after World War 11. You will find the story of the Rabbit included in the calendar.

The calendars cost $30 (tax included). Proceeds will be donated to Ginger's Pet Rescue in Seattle, WA. 

There are two ways to purchase:

- Order by going to Artful Giving Shop

- Attend and buy at  "Angels for the Animals" Pop-Up stores. 

Dec. 7 - Aljoya Senior Living, 2430 76th Ave. SE Seattle, WA.   10:00 - 2:00

Dec. 8 - Merrill Gardens Renton Centre, 104 Burnette Ave. S. Renton, WA.  10:00 - 2:00

I love this feedback sent to me by Ami from Belmont, CA.: "I loved your calendar, Kay! It's different from any calendars I had in the past years. Every time I turned to a new month, your joyful artwork and message popped up, and looking at it made me so happy and ready to see the upcoming month as a new adventure in life. I loved mine so much, I bought five more to give as holiday presents to my friends".

I hope you purchase a calendar from my Art for the Animals Collection.
