Haha thanks guys. Looks like I got 83% on the english exam, and haven't gotten back the Math or BUS100 marks. Fingers crossed. Between school and my 1st Gen. blowing up I have had zero time to do anything lately. I'm glad you guys care, the end is in sight! I'll update on Sunday when she's all done. As for the 2014 suggestion, this calendar has actually morphed into a 1/2 2013 (June-December), and a full 2014 so it's somewhat of a 2 in 1.

Hahha! It'd better be a two in one; I have purposefully not bought a calendar this year to wait for yours

 

Still want pictures?

 

Yes please, I'm always open to new pictures. For those concerned, I'm not bumping people that have reserved their months. Working on the calendar as we speak!

 

That's good to know and a relief!

 

Alright so 17 out of the 18 months are done. I'm saving one spot for a local guy and that's all ready for just the picture, so the calendar is done. Now I need to get distribution done and then these can be sent out. I'm looking for a good site actively so I'm hoping to have that all figured out by the end of the week at the latest.

 

How much will the calendars cost

 

That will be figured out this week when the production costs are sorted out. I'm not expecting to make a huge profit on this, it's more just for the community to enjoy.

 

Nice nice nice! I'm excited

 

So glad to see this actually happening! I'll buy two for sure.




Wow, what a great pic, literally gave me chills. I'm stealing this for my desktop background!

 

I betcha if you PMd a mod about the project, they could get this thread promoted or stickied or some such. It seems like the sort of thing that all fc owners would want.
Can't wait!

 

and probably make him pay for vendor status, lol

 

Haha ya, I wasn't sure what was going to happen if I had to pay to become a vendor or something. It's not like I'm any sort of company but I guess if I'm selling something I'd have to be a vendor. I'll send one of them a PM.

 

even if you were not for profit they would probably make you

 

Here are a couple of mine:

 

thanks nate!

 

That's april for sure lol

 

I need more classic winter snow forest shots lol

 

So, update time. I spent some time this week looking at ways to get this calendar shipped out and printed and stumbled upon this.

It makes calendars much nicer than mine for an affordable price. All I have to do is get my collection of pictures inputted and it's all done. Everyone can just buy 'my' calendar through the site nice and easy. It's a bit of a pity because I spent about 50ish hours creating the calendar and finding the pictures but I'll take a hit in the pride department so everyone can have a better product that will cost much less. What do you guys think? I was thinking as well of putting $2 on top of each calendar to pay myself a fraction of minimum wage for the time I've put into it. I think that seems fair.

This is an example of what they look like.

Let me know what you think.

Simon,
I just checked out all the options they offer and they look pretty nice. My only concern would be the print quality as well as the paper stock. Personally I don't care where they come from as long as its a quality finished product. The nice thing doing it this way is theres no way you can get stuck with extras. People ny pay for what they want and they get sent right from the site.
Do you have any examples of what you already put together for us to compare?

 

I'm thinking the same thing.

 

Since I've hit a few events I have some options as to what you might want to use in the calendar.


They're all on my flickr

please be more manly than me, and run the 10.5 up front and do the rears in 11's.....you would be my hero

 

Ok, so this is the two options. The first two pictures are from the calendar I made, and the last 2 are from the website.
