Hello Everyone!

I have been collecting the HOTM winner pictures for every month so far this yr. for our calendar. Yesterday i jumped on shutterfly and they have a $299 special if you buy 25 calendars. thats about $12 each + shipping and a few more $$ if we want to add any to collect a donation for a winning husky rescue like we did with the shirts. Does everyone like the idea of using the winning pictures for the month they won? do we want to include the top 2 or 3 along with the winner of each month? im working on this and i don't have the time to make this into a huge production but im looking for some input on what you want to be featured each month as far as pictures go.
does any one have a place they love to order custom calenders from that have a great layout selection and pricing?
let me know what your all thinking and i can get rolling on this. the plan is to vote early for Dec. so all i have to do is drop in that month and get them ordered so we have a full month to ship before 2013 starts.

I'd totally buy one, and I really like the idea of having like the top 3. Something like have the winner as the main picture, with smaller honorable mention pictures on there as well.

I'd definitely would buy one! I also like the idea of the top 3 also.

I like this set up:

if we did the top 3 i would need all those people to send me their high res pic. for the #2 and #3 spot. it would be great if everyone could just go look at the month and just send me that pic with the name of the dog and what month it was, it would be a ton of work to track everyone down and write all the emails. unless someone wants to do that for me.....

I think if we had a couple people working on it it would be easier. I'll help

I'd be willing to help too

Love the 3rd place finisher for the month of May.

I'd almost be tempted but the last 2 years I've made a calender of Adobo, Biko and Mylo. More then likely will continue that route.

I'll definitely order one!

If did top three then I am in for calender. Where do you want the pics be sent to for those that need to send in pics to ya?

Get me for two calenders if do the top three.

I'd buy one as well

Already talked to you Jenn,

But I could see us grabbing a couple... My mother has expressed interest and Kelly's Father gives Calenders every year at X-mas to his girls.

Either way we would for sure be in

I LOVE the top 3 idea (makes the lower quality pics less noticeable and more dogs get exposure)

I'd be down for a calendar with the top 3.

Jennet, thank you for posting those!!!!!

OK everyone pictured in the top 2-3 spot please send me your full size picture (copying the images from here give me to low of a quality), shoot me a PM on here and i will email you my personal email address to send the pictures to. starting with this month i will collect the top 3 pictures.

is everyone ok with the price and do we want to add a few $$$ to go to a rescue?

Still looking for everyone to send me their picture if they were in the #2 and #3 spot on the HOTM. please look for your picture above that Jennet posted and if you see yours please send me a PM and i will give you my email address to send me the full size picture.
THANKS!

Just sent Kodys

Jenn, if you need someone to PM people about their pics I can help you do it if you need it.

Jennet if you don't mind that would be great, with me leaving town friday im swamped this week, if not i will bug them come sept. oh, just give them the email i gave you thanks!!!

Okay Just PM with the people who haven't sent in their pics and I'll message them

Aug. runner ups

Koda...


Snowflake...

I am still missing the pictures for:
Jan. #2&#3
Feb. #2&#3
April #2&#3
May #3
June #2
see the thread for those pictures.

please see if that is you and if so send me a PM so i can give you my email to send me a pic. Jennet, if you can, can you PM these people again for me.
thanks!

I will PM them when I get home from work tonight
I didn't send out PMs for February and May #3 because I wasn't sure what you wanted to do about the ties. Should we do another vote tie breaker for these?

oh i forgot about the tie thing, lets get both pictures and i can see what i can do about a lay out for 4 pics then, or wait to see who does and does not send me pictures

i got eddy for the other one so dont worry about a PM to him

I unfortunately already entered our dog park calendar and will be purchasing one of them as both my pug and Cally will be in it but I'll for sure keep this in mind for next year!
