Creating Personalized Calendars

Instead of the generic landscape scene hanging on your wall, wouldn’t you rather see the faces of people you know and care about? Well, with this Creating Personalized Calendars Instructable, you can design your own calendar with pictures of family or friends just using Microsoft Word. This project does take some planning and creativity, but the results will last for a lifetime.
