Alaska Calendar
Over the past few years, I have been asked by readers of my journal if I had a calendar available for purchase. Up until now, I never took the time to put one together, as the research I had done in regards to printing a calendar always left me feeling less than enthusiastic. It seems that if you’re not in a position to make a bulk order (500+) calendars, there’s no way to offer a calendar for the $5 prices you see in large department stores.
Using an online printing company - who I’ve used in the past to print my photos - I am able to purchase enough calendars to offer them to my readers for $20 each. This $20 includes S&H to anywhere in the US (extra shipping costs for outside the US).
The calendar includes landscapes, wildlife, skyscapes, etc. It’s a 12-month calendar - full size (11×17) and spiral bound. (The full-size photo at the top of each month is 8.5×11)
I need to place my order by 10/27. I will only be making one bulk order and one order only, as it won’t be cost effective for me to make several smaller orders.
Here is what the calendar will look like:

Here are the inside pages:
Please email me privately at susan@susanstevenson.com if you are interested in ordering a calendar(s). I will respond to your email with more information in regards to your order. I expect to have the calendars printed and ready for shipment by the end of November - in time for the holidays.
Thank you!
Susan Let me be the first to say What a very wonderful Idea on the Calendar Go for it

Susan, I sent you a personal note already with my order! And I do agree with LynnMN and the Stausers on all the wonderful photos chosen, except my hubby thinks we need a “bull” moose for the month of May. That’s my birth month! He’s just kidding, of course! Flowers are more my style.
All the photos are perfect for Alaska. I like Gail’s idea of the note cards too. Don’t work too hard. Take care, Lea Ann

Hi Susan- I have enjoyed your photos for years and they just keep getting better. Thanks for sharing them. Like Jan in the previous post, I did not know about the calendars until too late, but if by chance there are any left over, just email me. Thanks and stay warm. ED
