Calendar photo album
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     This invention relates in general to display type calendars and more specifically, to calendars provided with the means for changing the artistic display of photographs, pictures, and other graphic works. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     Pictures are often displayed with calendars to make the calendars more attractive. Sometimes a single picture may be used the entire year with tear-off calendar sheets. Usually calendars display a new picture each month. With such calendars, one, of course, is limited to the particular pictures selected by the manufacturer of the calendar. 
     To overcome this disadvantage, and to enable one to display the work of their choosing, several inventions have been devised, as typified by U.S. Pat. No. 715,479 issued to F.E. Housh. Housh discloses a frame and calendar with a backing and a mat affixed thereto for displaying a selected picture, advertising devise, or other printed material. Other relevant disclosures are those of Brindly, U.S. Pat. No. 4,276,703; Diambra, U.S. Pat. No. 3,534,489; Jones, U.S. Pat. No. 1,172,606 and Magnus, U.S. Pat. No. 2,010,102. 
     Common problems of previously existing photo-calendar devices are the lack of ready access for mounting and removal of pictures of varying dimensions and the inability to make monthly changes. Newberry &amp; Newberry, U.S. Pat. No. 5,033,215 disclosed a calendar apparatus displaying a plurality of picture holding members on the front surface of a backing mat which also displayed a means of holding a calendar on said mat. Therefore, interchangeable artistic displays and calendar were mounted on the same backing mat. 
     Some disadvantages of the above calendar apparatus is that it does not allow for inclusion of more than photograph at any one time into the calendar apparatus, the framework must be removed in order to change the photos, the apparatus does not fold into a manageable size, it is heavy overall due to its thick backing member, and it does not accommodate a front and back display cover. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention overcomes these and other problems by providing a calendar which discloses picture holding members on every monthly calendar leaf. Each photo or piece of artwork can easily be interchanged at any time without disturbing the framework. It is lightweight, easily hung and displayed, and folds into a manageable size. A front and back cover could display personal or business pictures and/or information. Calendar photo Albums for business use could incorporate business logos into the framework of every calendar page surrounding the artwork. Businesses could display &#34;employees of the month&#34; pictures of the business or facility for marketing purposes, and monthly specials/discounts, etc.. Each business could set up tailored calendars displaying twelve target areas which could all be included and displayed concurrently in the original calendar. Personal use could include sending a personal collection of photos or graphic art to family and friends for special occasions during the year. An important aspect of the Calendar Photo Album is that each collection of photos can be placed in the recipients personal photo albums for everlasting remembrances. A more thorough description may be seen in the appended claims. 
     It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a calendar with a plurality of reusable picture holding members which hold and are easily interchangeable with a variety of chosen pictures and photos without disturbing the framework. 
     Additional objects and advantages will become apparent and a more thorough and comprehensive understanding may be had from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification.
