My Mom and Dad, have everything you could possibly need, and we were wondering what could we give them for Christmas. So after racking our brains Gar and I decided to make them a custom printed calendar.
We had a lot of my photos to choose from, over 7000, and had a great time picking them out, planning each month.
We knew that Mom loves the beach, so we included a special sunrise from White Rock. For my Dad, there is a really cool shot of a painted lady.
For those of you that don't know, that is a butterfly!
All this was accomplished online, and I picked up the calendar the other day. Today I popped it in the mail at the post office, and it is on it's way.
Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad!
Wow, what a treasure that will be. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteOh - that's wonderful! My sister did one of those for us last year: it's a wonderful present!
ReplyDeleteHope your parents don't read this blog, though...
How did you do that? I'd love to make my own calendar. Yours looks gorgeous, of course!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm loving your new banner photograph! Absolutely gorgeous!!
oooh what a good gift!
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful gift. I have done that in the past but it was one of those tacky laminated ones from the office store. I would love to be able to get a really classy one done. Your parents are gonna love it!
ReplyDeleteI've been making small calendars for family for a few years now. These are beautiful! May I ask what company you used?
ReplyDeleteA wonderful gift for sure!!
7,000 photos, edited down to 48? That's a talent in and of itself
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, that is just a wonderful idea...made even more special because you are the daughter of the lucky recipients! They will love it! I've thought of trying to come up with something like that. Maybe someday;) Jan
ReplyDeleteHey what a clever idea! I will have to take some photos with that in mind! Thanks for sharing such a cool idea..I hope they are not blog readers! :)
ReplyDeleteThey will love that! I'm sure it is beautiful!
