I'd prefer one with the kitties on rather than your logo and details!

Why not make a year to view calendar and sublimate it onto either a mug, mousemat or aluminium sheet with your details - bet it would be cheaper to make and would showcase what you could do - might even then get orders next year for a 2014 mug,mousemat or aluminium sheet :biggrin:

I used to do calendars. I have a calendar punch/binder which punches the holes and the thumb slot in the middle at the same time. Works best for A3 calendars. I used to put thick card at the back and a transparent cover over the front. They looked quite good. The only trouble was finding decent enough paper (if using an inkjet printer, regular paper gets saturated by ink and one-sided photo paper doesn't look right).

I still have lots of parts here for it, but I haven't made any calendars for years. Maybe it's time I did some again? :biggrin:
