2017 Calendar - Cover plus January to March

For the past several years I've made my Mom a calendar that includes family photos.  I would buy a BASIC GREY calendar kit, put it together and add the photos where they belonged.  Easy peasy... Well BASIC GREY is no longer making or selling paper products so I bought a blank 8x8 calendar made by SRM Press Inc. and started from scratch.

We had a family wedding this year, so lots of nice family photos from that event. 

Here is the first 3 months.  Please excuse the quality of the photos. They were taken on a dull dreary day so they aren't the best.
