Mailbag: 2017 Scrapbooking Calendar

I received the following message from a reader named Cathy several weeks ago:

I am making gifts for my students in 5th grade. Would you happen to have the first half of the 2017 calendar? These are awesome!

So I drew up the first six months and sent them to her via private message. Now I’ve finished the rest of the 2017 scrapbooking calendar and decided to post it here, in case anybody else needs it early.

If you’re still working on the current year, check out my 2016 scrapbooking calendar. It is great for micro-journaling, keeping track of your family’s commitments, or recording special memories throughout the year.

I’ve used these for years as a scrapbooking shortcut: Once I fill in the entire month, I make enough color copies that each of my children can have a set in their scrapbook. Doing this helps me keep photos and mementos in chronological order and saves time on journaling — they can check the calendar and easily see what was going on in the pictures, all recorded in their mother’s own handwriting!
