So, I just spent a couple of weeks putting together my Christmas calendar to go out to the grandmas and grandpas but when I try to buy it, it says that my old version of iPhoto7 isn't accepted anymore. I can't download an upgrade because I have an old OS. Are there any options for me? I'm frustrated and tired (with two toddlers) and just want to get this calendar done before I even think about upgrading everything. Help.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Purchase an iLife '11 DVD from someone like Amazon or eBay

Or preview it http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2486 and save the PDF and find a vendor who can print from it. There has been one posted here in the past

Thank you! I have saved it as a PDF and I will see if I can find another place to print it. Now, however, I also realize that I can upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, then upgrade my iPhoto version to access the store from my software again. Do you know where I can do that online? I have searched through the Apple website but can't find that upgrade. (I have a first generation Air, by the way.)

Unfortunately the only iPhoto upgrade available on line is version 9.5 which requires Mavericks OS X 10.9

You will need to purchase an iPhoto '11 DVD

If your MacBook Air is a Late 2008 or later model it can run Mavericks which is a a free upgrade from the App Store.

However, since you're running iPhoto 7.1.5 (08) you'll have to pay for the latest verson of iPhoto which is 9.5. Then you'll be able to order print products from Apple.
