Designing Underway

The design of the calendar is now underway and we've hit my target of 100 pictures. Any extra from here are a bonus - but really I'd like to hit last year's total of 120 - giving us 10 pictures per page. We won't be having a Dedication Page this year and that's not down to any particular reason other than I had no photo's for it and no-one broached the subject this year.
I really enjoy the design stage as I get to see pages before everyone else and it always looks very well presented. This year we are going to try and add some colours to the design to fit in with the "fun" topic. I don't think there will be any adverts on this year depicting CF fundraising ventures as there isn't time to put these together now - also I think it would be nicer to have a bigger calendar space and they took up that room last year.
Hopefully I'll have something to look at when I get back from holiday and will put another update then.

Cystic Fibrosis Calendar 2008 Book

This is the link to a book you can have as well as a calendar - have been fiddling again! You can also turn the montage in to a DVD - as below. I might look into the cost's of these once the Calendar is finished. Possibly another way to make a profit for the CF Trust.

New Montage

Calendar Update

Another update on this year's Calendar for those looking for information and I have directed everyone to this Blog who has contributed pictures so I hope I don't confuse anyone - I'm confused enough myself at the moment!! I can't send individual e-mails to you all and I can't remember 100% who did, so I hope you all read this Blog when you can.

Sadly, Chris's family were not coping too well with the idea of setting up a Trust Fund in his memory - was causing them too much pain and upset, which is obviously quite understandable, so that idea has been scrapped totally now. However, I still personally have plan's to carry out this idea in the New Year on my own - once Joe starts full time school in January.

Sooooo, this year's calendar is on hold yet again until we decide on the best way forward. I can honestly say that I just feel like dropping the whole idea, but can't let down over 100 people who have contributed. I hope you'll all bear with me and will update again in a couple of weeks. We are off to Disneyland Paris on Monday until Friday - a much NEEDED break. Stay happy and stay well. xxx
