For several years I have been making calendars for my family. (Read the related posts below for details.) I usually wrap them up & give them to the family on Christmas. Because of the Pandemic, I took a tower of mailers off to the post office on December 7th. Some of those are still stranded somewhere and not yet delivered.
This year's calendar cover shows vintage photos of my father & his siblings. Inside, my family can read about each of these wonderful people; learn about our ancestors; and see photos of this year's wedding, engagement, birthdays & other special occasions. I give these calendars as gifts each year to my family to show my love for them.
Very lovely calendar, and a great way to keep the memory of these relatives and their ancestors alive for the next generation! Happy and healthy new year to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful calendar. I’ll have to try the website you recommended in a previous post.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. May you have many great genealogy discoveries in 2021.
ReplyDeleteOh, fun, Colleen! It's great you have good, clear photographs for calendars. I like the idea of including weddings, birthdays, etc. Which company do you use to have these made?
ReplyDeleteNancy, Over the years I have used various companies. However, for the past few years I have stayed with Mixbook. Their program has lots of flexibility soo I can personalize it to our family. I can also input birthdays, anniversaries, etc. and they remain in the program year after year. Other programs require you to add them fresh each year.
