We are working to put together the requirements for photo submission for the 2007 Calendar. Last year, there were over 200 photos and we barely had room to squeeze them in. I have started requesting print quotes and I am considering some upgrades or alternates. If we forge ahead with the 2007 Calendar, we will probably upgrade the size to a 12 * 12 and it will be slightly more than last year (but I think it will be less than $20).
If you have some interest in a weekly appointment calendar or a daily calendar, please comment here.
Get your cameras out....here is just a hint to what we are looking for in the 2007 Calendar (we reserve the right to change it)
* Total of 3 photos may be entered...
1 - Fall/Winter clothes
2 - Spring/Summer clothes
3 - Neutral season clothing (t-shirts or something that doesn't suggest a season)
GENERAL PHOTOS should be relatively closeup facial shots with enough space around the photo that we can crop background to fit into calendar.
FEATURE PHOTOS will be selected from the collection. To qualify, they must be high resolution, clear and no special effects nor odd sizing. Unlike the General photos, we like for these to tell a story. We welcome photos with siblings, parents, grandparents and friends. Other suggestions: color, artsy shots, funny expressions, hats and costumes, etc.
We cannot accept the following:
* photos from professional studios without their written permission
* photos you do not own
* photos of children whose adoption have not been finalized
Our official set of rules will be posted shortly. But for now...start snapping!

MySpacers:
I'm on MySpace now too....but if you are the first person to find me and send me a message through MySpace BEFORE MONDAY, I'll reserve you a free calendar :-) The namespace is probably pretty obvious :-)
If you have a MySpace account and would like me to check in with you, email your URL and I'll check in with you.
Please note: the free calendar is only offered if we actually do a 2007 calendar!
where do we send the pics to for the calendar??

I'd also love the idea of weekly along with monthly calendars.

Posted by: Cindy at July 31, 2006 08:30 AMI would love to have the weekly calendar option. I adore my monthly one I have right now.
Posted by: jlyons at July 31, 2006 09:48 AMwonderful idea! I carry a monthly pocket size and would love to replace it with this one!

I appreciate your consideration in taking this on again. It is so much work for you. I would like to suggest you do whatever works best. We know you will put out a quality product as you have in the past.
We love changing each month to see what friends may be there or simply to adore the beautiful children we do not know.
Let me know if I can help you in any way.
Take care, Rhonda
I think a weekly calender is a great idea as well! I love the calenders in the past and we are excited to know you are going to be doing a 2007 one as well! Thanks for putting forth the effort to do this for all of us! I know my family sure appreciates it!
