for a number of years now, probably since i’ve had a digital camera, i’ve wanted to put together a calendar featuring a dozen of my photographs. for many reasons (mostly: sloth and procrastination) i never quite got around to it. in addition, there wasn’t really an economical way to produce small runs of quality printing, so i just kept putting it off. again and again, year after year.
\nthen came cafepress<\/a> with their on-demand printing on various products (buttons, mugs, t-shirts, etc). i have had a cafepress store<\/a> or<\/a> three<\/a> for several years now and have probably ordered more for myself and friends than all other orders combined. that’s always been fine, as i’m not in it to get rich (although that would be lovely), but to be able to produce printed products i want, as easily and thriftily as possible.
\nlast year, i ordered a \u201cformer congressman chuck\u201d calendar from the blurbdoocery store<\/a> at lulu.com. the calendar came well-packaged, the printing quality was excellent and their customer service\/ease of use was top notch. so, when i finally got off my ass to put together that long-awaited calendar, my first choice was to use lulu as the on-demand printer.
\nwhat does all this mean for you, gentle reader? it means that if you’re so inclined, and aren’t squeamish about online purchases, you’re able to obtain for yourself a nuttymuffin 2008 calendar<\/a> featuring photos from none other but… me! here’s the promo image for your consideration:<\/p>\n

\"everyone<\/a><\/p>\n

in addition, a portion of the proceeds from all the calendars sold will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC<\/a>.
\ni don’t think i’ve ever talked about it here, but my step-mother has been suffering with Alzheimer’s for the last decade and i’ve seen first-hand the trauma it can wreak upon a family. this opportunity to help give back just seems the right thing to do, especially at this time of the year.
\nmarketing myself is something i’m not very good at nor enjoy doing, so i probably won’t be mentioning this again. although, i reserve the right to position a pretty little button over there on the left to subtly remind you that you’re totally ruining your chances for an awesome 2008 if you don’t have a nuttymuffin calendar on your wall. ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
