A Fun Poster

I love freebies! I especially look forward to my Friday Freebie email from The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. There's almost always a goodie or two we can use in our homeschool. And of course, there is always something fun from Maggie at Econobusters.com. She actually has a fun giveaway going at the moment for cute bible verse art from The Old Post Road. http://www.econobusters.com/?p=2442 If you head over there, you can enter until Sept. 10.

These paintings got me thinking about the calendar I always make for Grandmas for Christmas. Last year I didn't make one for my MIL because many of the kids have gotten older and I don't get photos from them. (We have 12 grandkids in that family, so it's always been easy to do a calendar with each kid getting a month.) But she's made several comments about missing that calendar, so I need to come up with a different idea.

I'm knocking around the idea of having the kids send me photos and/or art work for their month along with a bible verse chosen by them. I'd ask the adults this time around too; then I just might get enough stuff to fill the whole 12 months. Or I could just fill in the empty months with a pretty photo I've taken and a bible verse. Hmmm....need to ponder this a bit more.
