The Economics Of A Personalized Print Calendar
Since having my fifth baby on September 18th, I have only recently begun to emerge from my postpartum stupor. Though I have tried to keep up with current events, round the clock feedings and general household chaos has me a bit out of the loop. I understand we have a new President-Elect named Barack something or other. I've also heard rumors that the financial market is in some sort of free-fall. There must be something to the rumor because my husband recently grabbed our 401K statement from the mail stack and is guarding it with his life. I think he fears my postpartum mood swings will turn into a full blown depression if I realize how broke we really are.
With this economic reality in mind, I am looking for ways to be both creative and thrifty this holiday season. One old idea I plan to revisit is a family Print Calendar
We put one together about three years ago through Vista Print and gave it to both sets of grandparents. My in-laws loved theirs so much they still have it up on their wall, which means that of course none of the dates go with the current year. That's true grandparent love for you. It didn't matter that they were always off schedule. They just couldn't get through the month of February without the pic of their granddaughter in her red heart Valentine pajamas or October with a pic of the kids running around the pumpkin patch.
It should go without saying that this is a strictly 'grandparents only' type of gift. Don't give one to your best friend or co-worker and probably not even your siblings. No one really cares to stare at photos of your little rugrats (adorable as they may be) month after month except for you and the grandfolks.
If you have a close circle of friends, church group, or office crowd you could still use the calendar idea for each particular group. Go through past photos or start snapping away now and then put them together with some witty captions and send them off to Vista Print. It is an inexpensive gift and everyone will be constantly reminded of your cleverness for a whole year.

dont know where to put this so i guess i will put it here. i am not sure where i read this but i know it was in the bible. first one cant be a fallower of jesus and vote or be involved in politics. the main reason for this is the exact reason jesus was killed. the jewish pharrisees had huge political power which let them challenge the law and have jesus killed by an outside means that they techinically didnt have power of but they did have control of that power.the laws of jesus only apply to each single person and with the comming of jesus they lost all enforcement upon others.sorry people i do somewhat belive in jesus but it seem most others cant comprehend what his message was about.can reach me at sixtynine505@yahoo.com. and wish you luck on finding the right path
