Calendar Creating...

Every year for Christmas, I make my mom a birthday calendar. This means spending hours and hours collecting current pictures of her nine living children, their spouses, her 32 grandchildren, and as of last week, her 33 great grandkids and putting all their pictures together in a beautiful collage of their birthmonth.

Last year, I got so consumed with, well, life in general, I ended up buying a Greg Olsen calendar and writing in all their birthdays at the last minute. She loved it anyway.

This year, I am still consumed with life in general, but I'm going to put more thought into it. So, I'm going to create her a calendar with some of my favorite pictures from the past year. Narrowing it down, has not been as easy as one might think. But, I'm working on it.

And here... are a few of my favorites...

Feel free to give me your input...

Oh my gosh Kris, those are gorgeous! I love the treatment you gave them (some sort of photoshop thing, I guess? Sort of parchmenty or canvasy or something). You have a real talent, seriously. I'd buy a calendar with those photos!!

Seriously incredibly beautiful!! Better than most any calendar I see at the stores. :) My favorite is the temple fountain one. Great perspective, and different from the norm. Love it!

I don't know how you'll ever choose they are all so nice--but any mother wuld be proud to have a calendar that she can point to and say "my daughter took those photo's"

Interesting, I 'm glad I don't have to make the decisions. You are right it's challenging to try and get all those pictures.
