Every year for the past 13 I have created a family calendar. It is a 13 month calendar since I normally do not finish it until January – that would be because of all the Christmas orders and the busy holiday season. This year was a bit different in that I received a stack of ornament orders at the end of December, but I somehow managed to complete my calendar before the end of the month! Yay!
I kept it simple this year:
- I used some of the photography of one of my sister-in-laws, as well as my own. She and my brother are around the farm at different times of the day and year than I am and she captures some great pictures.
- With 23 nieces and nephews – I pulled from this past year’s images and created a sepia closeup of each.
- I added a scripture per month.
- 19×13 inch matte 2-sided photo paper.
- HP large format printer

I think I am getting brave enough to try this….and my daughter Leah is quite savvy on doing things like this, now to find the time to pick out pics….I have over 100 people pics of nieces and nephews to choose from. That will be the challenge. And how many do I make….I may keep it simple, and only do for my five children! And me too…..YOu always do such a good job and your family is so blessed to have you. Love you, Alethea
Thank you! Keep it simple the first time. What I did here was easy. These cast me over 40.00 each to produce, so you may want to go smaller too.
