It's no secret, I'm terrible with dates. I'm even worse with birthdays. So, for the Black side of my family, I spent part of today making these little 8x10 photo calendar reminders. I'm not a fan of wall calendars and with the splits in my family, I thought it would be weird to have a full big photo of someone not related directly to a person.... Complicated. If I made them specific to the actual tree and not the gazillion branches, I would be working on this forever. But, little tiny thumbnails, all my family members can deal with that. And I wrote it out a little bigger on the bottom so they can see who the photo is actually supposed to be. I'm very pleased with these. I'll send these out to my 9 brothers and sisters and then add Rob's side of the family for my own fridge.
This is simply my Dad, Lyn, Grandma Carolyn, and my nine siblings plus their children. When I add the Smith side, it will only be six more people. Ha! We joke that he has a family tree. I have a family bush. No lie. When we first met on eHarmony, I sent him an org chart. Seeing this all spread out, I have zero guilt for not remembering birthdays well. ;) Aunt Barb, I have no idea how you do this!
Happy New Year! I hope you had a great 1/1/11!
