Custom Calendars ROCK! How to make one of your very own!

Have you ever sat around the Christmas tree after you've opened your gifts and you pull out your calendar that your sister gave you or your Aunt gave you and you flip through it and you think to yourself, "I could make one of these!"  


Well, NOW YOU CAN!  Those moments in your pajamas around the Christmas tree are about to come true!

There are a few choices out there for making calendars.  You probably already know my choice when it comes to really great quality custom calendars!  CLICK HERE!  But here's a couple points that will make the creation of your custom calendar really fun and easy!


1.  When I made my calendar I chose to make a full size image for each month.  I had other choices too, I could you put a bunch of photos on it or 2 or 3.  You can be as creative as you want to be!  Maybe one big image and many small images.  Whatever you want!  Your creativity is the limit!

2.  I chose an 18 month calendar because I wanted the person that I was giving it to to have the calendar for a long time.  I could've chosen a regular 12 month calendar up to 18 months.  Choose wisely depending on who will use the calendar!

3.  I then had to choose which holidays I wanted on the calendar.  I could choose all the holidays, except Chinese ones!  Or I could choose none of them.  I chose all of them.

4.  One of the coolest things that I did was to edit any day that I wanted!  So for example, February 3rd is Chinese New Year!  The Year of the Rabbit!  I want to put that day on the calendar!  I can do that.  If you want to remind everyone which day ARBOR day is so we can all go and plant a tree!  You can do that.  National Ask a Stupid Question day?  You can add that too.  April Fool’s Day?  Yep.  Groundhog Day?  Chipmunk day?  Squirrel Day?  All yes!  Isn’t that the coolest?  My calendar was really personalized!

Give it a try.  Remember: Calendars are really great gifts, especially when they are customized and about you and/or your family!
