Calendars – August 2015

July 31, 2015 by Debra 2 Comments

Hi, did you know a printed calendar is a fun way to scrapbook your month? Keep notes – simple, on each block reminding you what you did that day. One word would do. At the end of the month take the calendar and slip it into a sheet protector. Place this page into your journal. It can be an introduction to the next page going into more detail of your daily events. This can make your daily journal entries a bit easier- at least it does for me!

August for many is back to school month. Be sure to jot this down on your calendar. Many photo opts! As you may have read, I’m a Wal-Mart kind of gal. Each back to school season Wal-Mart will have school supply lists available for you.

Birthday Parties!

July 5, 2015 by Debra

Party planned, guests invited, cake baked and the decorations hung, now it’s time to party! No more party photos without mom and dad in the picture. Get out from behind the camera. Let Debra worry about saving your special birthday memories. Enjoy your time with family and guests. Debra will do her best to capture each and every guest. Including the cake, the decor and all of the food!

Yes, I LOVE birthday parties! There’s no catch. All I ask is no expense on my part for the party- like a roller skating party or movie theme you would cover my admission fee. And of course, I would get a piece of the birthday cake and ice cream!

Calendars – July 2015

Hi, this may seem strange to you- but I just love things like a calendar! One of my all time favorite stores to shop is office depot. Yep, that’s right! I use the Google calendar on my phone for personal appointments and such. This is a really good application because whether I’m on my phone, tablet or home computer- I see the same calendar. The best feature of the application is the reminders. I use two of them- the SMS feature and email. Soon the SMS feature will be phasing out- bummer. But all the same the application is really good, especially since it’s free!

Another calendar I have been using is Calendar Creator Deluxe 12. How many of you use the Franklin Covey planners? The Calendar Creator program can create your calendar as refill pages for your Franklin. Now that’s nifty! Working with websites, I have often wanted to add a calendar of events.

Searching for the right one was becoming not easy at all. Whether it be some aspect of the program- not user friendly, the cost or the sheer appearance of the calendar, I was truly having a difficult time deciding on which program to buy. That’s when I went back into the Calendar Creator program and really took a good look at all of the features. The event tab in the main menu link above links to the months July thru December 31, 2015. The program exports as html. I did create an index.html page to contain the exported files. Centering the exported calendar html files- they were not centered. By creating the index.html page, I was able to center the calendar. If anyone is interested, this can be a different topic with more details explaining what I did and why.

While searching for a calendar program, I wanted something very simple that I could decorate as I wish. This program allows custom designs and comes with many different images. If you are wanting a user-friendly program, I recommend Calendar Creator 12. Please keep in mind there will be a learning curve to designing your first calendar. However this is the same for any new software program. The help section is really handy.

Each month I will post the current pdf calendar file. Simply click the calendar picture and the pdf file should download to your computer to print or save as.

Best Wishes,
