Don't Look At This Post, Mom
Because it has pictures of your xmas gift.
Every year for well over 10 years i have been making my mom the same gift. The first year i did it, she opened it, gasped and told me i would never again be stuck for something to get her. Also in that first year, i did every single bit of it by hand. Now, done on CorelDraw (i swear, 2008 will be Open Source!!).
You would think a calendar would be boring. Or, that it would be easy to describe to people. Some might also wonder why it takes me so much time, even though nothing but my signature on the back of it and my instructions to Kinkos are done by hand anymore.
Here are pics of my Mom's 3 Month On A Page Calendar, 2007.

I just got back from my "midnight run" to Kinkos (with 2.5 hours to spare). Maybe I'll post about it later.
