Every year, starting in 2009, I make a photo calendar for my parents and in-laws. It features for the most part scrapbook pages I have done over the previous year. I always end up having to make a few pages around the fall (that’s when I order my calendars), but the majority of the months is already made. This process works really well for me, and I know that this gift is much loved and appreciated.
For some reason, though, I always dread putting together the calendar. Ugh! Working ahead of the deadline is always the best idea, so this week I took advantage of the awesome retiring products sale at The Lilypad to trap some autumn kits, and made this:
