Calendar

I had mentioned an idea to Karen a little while ago about possibly saving each month's photo contest winner's photos, and then at the end of the year make a calendar of all the winning pictures. I talked to my cousin who had made calendars with photos of the family for everyone for xmas one year, and she said she just used the microsoft works calendar template and added special dates (we could do member's birthdays or whatever else you can think of). She bought black spiral things (don't know what they are called, but know what they look like LOL) at staples. She used regular printer paper sized paper, but used the glossy kind to print everything out on. It'd probably be cheaper to take the photos to walmart and print out copies of that size there rather than wasting printer ink. Of course these wouldn't be free, and we'd have to decide on a price. I'm not very computer smart LOL so if you think this is a neat idea volunteers would be nice, but I'm willing to try it if no one else wants to. May have to experiment with just one at first and see how it goes.

I would love a doxie calendar with photos of doxies we all know! I am actually making myself a calendar on Wal-Mart.com of my personal doxies for this next year. For an 8 1/2 x 11, it is only $15.00, which is actually cheaper than one from Petsmart with random doxies. You can even add up to 3 pics per month, which I will do on some, like October since I have a couple good halloween pics. I'm sure there are many other photo sites online where you can create calendars that may be cheaper and you wouldn't have the task of putting pictures into spirals

Those sound like good ideas!!
Anyone else have any? Maybe we could charge $20 for the calendars....$25 for making them and then shipping will be involved!!

That would be a cute idea...

Yeah the walmart idea will probably be less costly, and take less time them making them by hand

Great idea

I like the idea!

I LOVE THIS IDEA! I love doxie calendars and get one every year. But one from members would be very special and I could keep it forever...

Ok I love it.....so we just now need Alex to volunteer to do this......LOL!!!
If they allow 3 pic's, then we can do a 1st, 2nd & 3rd photo contest each mth!! Just a few more days til voting so get those pic's in everyone!

Dave send me yours thru email if you need me to put it up for you!!!

I cant get my pups to sit tried last night for hours to get them to sit by the tree but they would not do it litlle stinkers i will keep trying

LOL I'm sure I'll be able to handle the walmart ones. I guess at the end of the year someone can send me all the pics, and we can put up a deadline or something for when the money is due ($20 seems alright including the shipping) and then I can go do them in bulk rather than doing one and then going back and doing them seperately as I get the money in LOL.

You could do them from home through walmart.com, just create it, then upload it. You can then have them printed and shipped site-to-store for free. Takes about a week. Then it would be saved in your account and you can easily re-order if more people decide they want one (like if they join the forum late) Just a thought

Oh wow, thats neat. I'll have to get on there and full around with it later. I might make one with just my doxies and past pups for this year until we get pics from the forum for next year

That's an awesome idea....I think I am gonna have to do that also....but I wanna wait til my new kids all get here so I can add them to it also!!
You guys are great with these ideas!!!
