How Cool!

No, not the weather, although it has been downright chilly here lately. Sometimes it doesn't even get up to 60! Brrrr.

Anyway, my title refers to something I ordered online and highly recommend to all my picture-taking friends. I ordered a calendar of my photos and am thrilled with the results. Although I know you can buy these calendars at many locations, I went with Staples online where you can upload your pictures, add captions, and either pick it up at your local store or have it sent to you for only $9.49 plus tax. Last year, I created one to pick up at the store. Although I was happy with that one, this year I ordered it to be sent and I think this one looks more professional.


Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with each month, but here's a sample.


You can also add events like this one.


One more.

Go ahead and give it a try. Imagine seeing your favorite pictures each month.

    That is a neat idea. Too bad most of my pictures have my thumb in them.

    I agree ... bore me ... want to see the rest of the months. I've considered doing this ... maybe one of these years. I follow a blogger in Alaska that does this every year and sells them, too.

    It's too big for the motorhome. Do they make a date book size?

    Great idea, we did this about 10 years ago and I have sort of forgot about it. Now I am going to put together a calendar real fast, thanks for the reminder

    Wow! What a good idea. I buy a calendar from Photographer's Edge, print my own photos, and stick them on. Much more expensive and hard work than yours.

    Sounds like a super idea for Christmas gifts so the family can enjoy your past travels. I love the personal notes (like family birthdays.) Thanks for sharing this great idea!

    Very nice! I seem to have a lot of pictures that look amazingly similar to yours - although not from this year. Great job!
