Default Home Made Calendars for 2010

This year (well last year actually...Christmas just gone) for Christmas everyone (other than the kids) got a bottle of wine and a box of scorched almonds. But to add that extra special personal touch to their basic gift, I went to a budget $2 shop and purchased some "make your own calendars". I then proceeded to sift through my multitude of mediocre images and spruced them up, printed them off and stuck them in the calendar - do you know how long it takes to make just one of them let alone doing ten?? . Budget as they may have been, everyone was most impressed, and not one of them was the same. Here are just a few of the photos used.

Great shots and a great idea, they really have the personal touch. My kid sister gave me one as part of my birthday present last year & it turned out to be my favorite present! She's had one made for me this year too, I'm just awaiting its delivery from England.

And made with love. Who could ask for more. I love the AJS and Alvis shots Michelle. My daughter had the same idea but with shots of my wife Chris and I from when we were kids. Great idea. Great shots. PAUL
