Happy New Year!
I hope the holidays were filled with special moments for you and your loved ones. It's amazing to think we've already closed the chapter on 2024 and stepped into a fresh start with 2025. January always brings that exciting feeling of possibility, doesn't it? Are you someone who loves making resolutions? While I'm not big on resolutions myself, I do enjoy setting goals that push me to try something new.
For 2025, my goal has been to expand my product line with better designs that combine photography and functionality to brighten everyday life with travel-inspired art. After waiting for my high-quality image printer to release additional calendar template options, I'm thrilled to say the time has finally come!
This year, the Chelfoto Etsy store will feature an exciting new addition: a second Chicago calendar with two distinct style options. Personally, I recommend version 2, as it includes more details and showcases three unique images per page, compared to version 1's single large photo format. For those who love exploring the world, the international travel calendar is still available and may even get a second version next year.
Brighten your space with the 2025 Chelfoto Chicago Calendar – a stunning blend of cityscapes and functionality for your everyday planning!
I'm also experimenting with a new planner-style calendar. This compact design is perfect for carrying in your bag, making it easy to jot down quick notes on the go while enjoying fresh, inspiring images. If you give it a try, I'd love to hear your thoughts — should it become a staple for next year?

Of course, my gold-foil cardstock desk calendar refills with the brass stand remain a favorite. These elegant pieces are ready to add a crisp, artistic touch to your workspace.
Start the year with inspiration! The 2025 international travel calendar features stunning photography to spark your wanderlust each month.
Thank you for supporting my journey and for bringing these products into your lives. Cheers to a joyful, creative, and inspiring 2025 for all of us!
Warm wishes, Rachel
New Things Are Coming…
The holidays are almost here, bringing the perfect opportunity to create unique moments or new memories with friends and family! I try to think up ways to make the most of it with details that could add a personal touch. This year, I’m starting to introduce a fresh collection of holiday photography cards and gift tags to help add a personal touch to every gathering. Whether you’re hosting a festive Friendsgiving, celebrating Thanksgiving with loved ones, or prepping for Christmas, these special moments are all about connecting.
There are some new Christmas card and fun gift tag options I’m trying out with Zazzle this year. Do you like personalized, local cards to give away? For me, they make the connections just a little bit warmer. I hope these help you add some holiday cheer to your celebrations!
Best Wishes, Rachel
