Last year's calendar (2011)

Every year for the past several years... at least 10 - I've been making a calendar for my family for their Christmas presents.  Sometimes I wish I hadn't started this tradition, but mostly I'm glad I have.  It makes me scrapbook at least 12 pages every year & I make sure I take pictures through out the year.  What I try to do is to have my calendar page match what we were doing the year before.  So for example in January of this year (2011) we take pictures & make a calendar page for 2012's calendar.  It doesn't always work out like that.  I use smilebox.com to scrap my pictures and then upload the pages to make a calendar.  We used to go to Office Depot and color copy my scrapbook pages and then copy a calendar and comb bind all of them.  We usually have 10 to 15 to make every year.  It was a huge project.  Now I just upload everything and upload the pages to vista print and have it delivered to the house.  They have come a long way!  In more than one ways!! Here is the 2009 Calendar.  Here (2001) are the calendars from 2001, 2000 , 1999  I put up the other Calendars, too.  I can't find a couple of them.  I have had them scanned for a long time, but with the old blogger it took way to long to upload pictures.  It so much faster now!

This was the cover of last year's calendar. (2011)
