One more month has just flown by around here! We are in full school mode and with it comes lots of activities. This whole week I have been working full days helping with our school book fair. I love being able to help, but that means I haven’t had a chance to be creative and DIY anything. So instead, I took a quick minute to get the free digital backgrounds for October ready, and it feels good to have them ready a couple days before the month is over!

Since I spent most of the month getting our new command center done, I guess I have chalkboard on the brain. So when it was time to make this month’s digital backgrounds I decided to make them look like chalkboards. I am trying to up my chalkboard writing game now that we have a huge one in our hallway. Maybe I’ll even get good enough to add lots of beautiful art to it, but until then I will have to enjoy these digital calendars.
And since I am obsessed with all things pumpkin, I included a chalkboard version of one. If there was ever a month to enjoy a few extra pumpkins it was October.
Of course, I made two different versions for you to download. There is one with a calendar and one without. I chose one of my favorite fall sayings instead. I love having a calendar on my phone as much as I love our new rustic wall calendar. I’m actually starting to feel like I have a handle on this family organization thing 🙂
So if you are ready to download your free digital backgrounds for October, click the link (or links) below for the one you want.

Enjoy your new backgrounds, I need to go to bed so I can spend one last day at the school book fair before we get to enjoy a 3 day weekend. Maybe I’ll even be motivated to do some DIYing.





I have a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. New to all this! Which would I use for the tablet?
Hello Wendy, I’m not sure how big a Samsung tablet is, but I would say go for the desktop one. Since tablets are bigger than phones usually, it could stretch the background to make it look fuzzy.
Super cute background!! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
Thanks Megan 🙂
I love these! I hate to be the one to point it out, but there’s a spelling error in the background images. It should be “where there are Octobers”, not “were”. Sorry!
OMG I am so glad you pointed this out! That is what happens when I try to spell during a busy week. I’ll get that fixed tonight and upload the new one. Thanks!
These are fun! I saw Sara @ Twelve on Main share this so it’s been my background for a couple days now! Thanks!
That is awesome! I’m glad you like them 🙂
Your backgrounds are perfect! Pinning and downloading one for myself!
