Hola Tracy,

Just to add another option:

Print Shops, the photo department in some big department stores, Kinko's
type 24-hour copy shops, etc., frequently offer a service of making calenders.
While the quality may vary,and while it doesn't really fit the Tulipmania of
meteorite commerce, an alternative is that you can bring 12 pictures and get
your own calendar made. So the June Calendar shot can be that June meteorite
hunting vacation, your birthday month can be a picture you find of the
meteorite that fell on your birthday, an anniversary, etc... February can be that
shot of you and Bob Haag in the Desert Inn in Tucson - the possibilities are
endless:)

The calendars are not to much more expensive (and sometimes cheaper), you
get the personalized touch, and there are extras to look for:
1. captions under the month pictures (Matteo: only ourselves to blame for an
error:-) )
2. captions on individual days (watch out Anne...there's an birthdayish idea)
3. slick finish
4. Spiral binding

For those of you that like to modify photos, maybe a big meteorite on your
favorite kid's shoulders like Atlas holding the world....

And that wouldn't stop us from buying a commercial calendar, too, right? I
think (not positive) that since it is for personal use you could use any
picture you find to stick up in your kitchen on the calendar, but of course you
are making a commercial calander you are more restricted as to the images.

Finally, I am sure there is a better service if someone has a moment to find
it on the internet, where you can design all these things in the comfort of
your own home on your computer and upload the images and text...click "make
calendar,, put in your credit card and shipping info and then pick it up at
your doorstep) anyone wanna look for a reasonable link?

Saludos, Doug
(Still making my own greeting cards after all these years)
