If you don't mind I'd like to copy your idea, since my brother is in Ohio and he misses Sophie so much... I could make one and send it in time on his birthday (December)

This was all done the old-fashioned scrapbooking way. I purchased a blank calendar online. I got my brother to send me a ton of Max pics under the guise that I was making a photo calendar for our mom. After I figured out which month would be which pictures, I went to AC Moore and Michaels and got background sheets to go with each month/theme. I tried to do a theme for each month. January - snow; February - Valentine's; April - April Showers (Max on the sink); May - May Flowers (Max sniffing flowers). June was a Father's Day theme with my cat Buddy and Max as a kitten snuggled in their bed. I chose the October photo for Halloween because Max looks like a vampire.

So, after that big long description, yes, you may all use my idea. The calendar ends up being a little heavy with all of the photos and scrabook papers.

If you go to amazon.com and do a search for "blank scrapbook calendar" you will find several varieties.

Have fun! I did.
