Kinko's does it....and I have a program called scrapbooking plus...and you can make calendars with that...I had one made for my parent many years ago...and when we cleaned out their house after they passed they still had it...It would be a wonderful gift for those you love.

Hmm. Sounds good.
I saw that software at store during my lunch time.
But does it require any special paper? Or do we print it on regular paper 8.5 x 11” , then where should I take it to bind it together to make a calendar?
Is this the cheapest way?

I haven't done one with this program yet as it's new....but it has alot of other stuff too that just rocks! If you want me to I can check it out before you buy the software....and see what it requires. Kinko's wasn't too expensive....you might want to check that out and another idea is if you have any scrapping stores...they sometimes offer things like that with an instructor to help you out..

to create and print a photo calendar yourself, specialized calendar software programs make a printable calendar as easy as drag-and-drop. You may also already have software on your computer which will do the job. Many word-processing programs, such as Microsoft Word, include basic calendar templates. You could also use free downloadable calendar templates can also be found online.

Ok, but once the calendar templates are printed how do I get the pictures to go there?
Do you mean I should scan the pictures to my computer first then copy and paste to the calendar template.
Then how do I put it together? Any place can put the papers together to make a calendar?
After all the printing and trial and error would it cost me less if I found a place and have them take care of putting it together?

There are all kinds of great places to do things like this. I uploaded 12 of my best photos to Vistaprint, and made a really nice photo calendar once. When it arrived in my mailbox, it was absolutely perfect. I've done loads of stuff with Vistaprint, and I love everything they do.
