I love taking pictures. You may or may not know that from the thousands of pictures I’ve taken and uploaded. My dad always teases me about how many pictures I take, but I love capturing as many moments as possible. It’s just too bad I’m running out of wall space to display all my favorites!

Last year, I made a 2008 wall calendar using a picture to represent the month it was taken. I absolutely love it, and my mom mentioned how neat it was the last time she and my dad were here. So, this year I’m thinking about doing a make your own calendar thing for Christmas and Hannukah presents for the moms. Instead of just using pictures of me and Joe, though, I’m going to use pictures of everyone in the family. For example, March could be a picture of Rachel and Dave’s wedding, and September could be a picture from our wedding. The neat thing is that you can change the layouts so you can use more than one picture for each month. If any of you are interested in doing the same kind of thing (because, really, what parent wouldn’t love a photo calendar?), I use VistaPrint, and there is a 25% off deal for wall calendars right now. Just use the coupon code o67592fklv.

So, that takes care of presents for the moms. Now, I just need to think of gift ideas for everyone else. Have you already started thinking about what you’re going to buy for Christmas gifts?
