Cool, glad you like it! I'm going to order a copy tonight (I use Costco, since it's the cheapest of the online options), to proof. Once I've verified that it looks fine I'll PM you...or update this thread if MRHyker does not object. It was pretty tough to cut it down to only the 12 shots above. I had my heart set on a couple of photos, but there was no spot for them.

Looks like they'd make a nice calendar, for sure.

I have no issue.
The Romans created the current calendar. You can create one with maybe 15 months so you can use more of your photos. Some months will have 24 days while a few would have 25.

My calendar copy arrived yesterday, and was more or less problem free. Here are some sample shots: CoverCostco (which is what I use, since it’s the cheapest) provides two options: - 11x17in "premium" calendar, printed on laminated premium cardstock paper, which will cost $26 (including tax and a $5 markup for me, but not counting shipping). The sample shots above are from this one. Personally my wife and I like this one more because the quality is better and there is more room to write stuff. - 8.5x11in "classic" calendar, printed on non-laminated cardstock paper, which will cost $16 (including tax and a $5 markup for me, but not counting shipping). Lemme know if anyone is interested (how many and which ones).

Those look really nice. I've been using Shutterfly, but I've been curious about Costco's quality. With Shutterfly's endless series of coupons, they appear to be about the same price.

I've been making calendars for myself for more than a decade. Early on I dabbled with other vendors, but have stuck to Costco for a while now; they have the best overall price and equivalent quality to any of others I tried. In fact, the "premium" version of the calendar is quite good. The only thing that's lacking is the amount of customization you can do (e.g. add captions, add your own special days/holidays, etc.). That's the reason I have to stamp the location onto the photo.

Yes, that's what I've done (see above).

I c now. I thought you meant you were manually stamping them.

Gali, I would like one of the premium calendars. How do I get you $26.00?

I'll send you a PM with my address and you can send me a check (as well as a mailing address). PS. It will actually be a little bit more than $26, due to shipping costs...closer to $30.
