Its calendar time again,   every year I make a micro calendar of my images for the year and gift it to friends and family.    Heres a few shots of this years.

That's a nice idea for a gift, and neat photos too. :-)

Thank you.  I put 4 on a page and have them printed on 10x8 and then cut them up myself so the quality is superb.

Thanks Mr B,  SHMBO'd used to buy them but the people making them discontinued them so I bought the cases and I now make them each year.

I bet that's popular with the family

BTW if you ever want anything developed onto photo paper(rather than printed although they do that too) I can recommend these guys,   the quality is awesome, they are quick and the price is very good too.

Shed been doing the little ones for years and was disappointed they stopped making them,   they did offer her ones for a different year where the calendar was the same but that confused so many people.  TBH Im not sure that many of them have noticed we make them ourselves now.

Cheers DT,  It came about because the ones SHMBO'd used to send stop being sold so I said Id make them.  its a fair bit of work but they do come out nice.   I try and get the calendars ready in January and add the pictures near the end of the year.

You're very welcome DA.  Sounds like you have that process down perfect.  Very cool idea.

Usually I make up the empty calendars in January with the dates etc and get her to check they are correct,  its easy to get the day number on the wrong day.   Then about September I start agonising over which pictures to use for each months,   part of that problem is I take a lot of vertical images which dont work on the current design which limits my choice.

Always better to have too many to choose from than not enough.
