Those are my favourite gifts also. Creating memories that will last forever. I gave calendars to my family members, friends and neighbours. My brother told me my Ireland photos were the best he's ever seen (and he goes there annually) and said I should make a calendar. So I did through iPhoto and the photos were beautifully printed by Apple. Might become an annual thing!

We have been trying to do that with Mom and it works very well.<br />Things of value always have a price, be it time or money.

He really liked the small figurine we bought him in Greece though and it is totally packable.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-86152932177789779692017-12-30T10:29:35.348-06:002017-12-30T10:29:35.348-06:00I was proud of my kids.
