Just to olet you know, pet portrait artist Sally Lancaster (website HERE (http://www.sallylancaster.co.uk/)) has very kindly agreed to help out by choosing photos for the calendar.

There's also a new category for the fridge magnets - action shots.  :D

The magnets will be 6x9 cm in size and here's a photo to give you an idea of what they'll look like...

(http://i26.tinypic.com/2rpbqpz.jpg)

I've made a slight amendment to the rules for the calendar - everyone can now enter upto 2 photos in each of the categories.

I think Pebble is gorgeous  (well obviously  :shades: ) but I can never get a decent photo of her  >:D >:D  :dunno:

Any tips on how to take a good photo? or would that be giving away trade secrets to the opposition  ;)

Thank you Vikki (and September and Lucy) for saying such nice things about William's picture. I'm very proud of it and think it's the best one I've taken of him, although more by luck than skill, like all of my photos.

Vikki, you're very welcome to use it. I can email you a higher resolution version of it if you want - just PM me.

There's only one thing wrong with the photo IMO - William has an eye bogey  ph34r in the corner of his left eye  :005:

Thanks for all the photos entered so far.  :shades:

Can I remind everyone that the layout of the calendar requires photos to be in 'landscape' format. I've noticed there are a few 'portrait' photos entered but I don't have time to pm everyone individually to let them know that these can't be considered... posts can be edited to change to a different photo though.  :D

Argh - there's so many great entries... I'm still trying to decide which photos to use... though I think we're just going to have to admit defeat on any Christmas card entries - we didn't get much in the way of snow here, and Honey doesn't "do" posing with props!!  (Believe me we've tried!!)

Wonderful entries already there, love Jeans, Helens and Nics and many more so will be buying at least one calendar again this year even if the gang aren't there  ;)

It should be like a rectangle lying on its side. If you look at the other entries they should all be the same! I don't know which one you're referring to so I can't tell you without seeing it.

Just looked back at the Christmas Card thread and realised I copied the wrong link for one of the entries.... I know it's too late to change it now, but would it make sense for the mods of this competition to just delete the obviously un-Christmassy picture of Honey posing in the plum tree!?!?!?!  ph34r

At the risk of sounding like I think any of mine will be picked, I need to withdraw all entries as the computer problem we had, has resulted in loosing all files (photos, letters etc etc etc )  :'( :'( :'(

Although I have some low resolution pics on photobucket, I have no high resolution pics for the last 12 months.  Lost all the pictures of holidays/puppy pics etc.  :'(

May as well remove them now.

Yes I don't think computers can wipe themselves totally.  Hopefully the pics will be on the hard drive somewhere.  I wouldn't suggest PC world though.  They generally have no idea of what they are doing (from our experience  ph34r)  Try yellow pages for a smaller maybe independant company.

Good luck, hope you can retrieve them.

We contacted a local person last night but he didn't hold much hope.  However from a link on here, we ran a deep scan (OH up most of the night) and looks like it's recovered a number of photos, don't know what at the moment as still more software to load.

It also looks like the back up disc OK so pics like the one of Louie in the mud is OK and I found I hadn't wiped the memory stick from last weeks holiday, so all the beach pics safe.  Will find out later what I have in terms of documents when word/excel reloaded.

The chosen calendar images are with the printer and he's working on the layout, once that's done he'll send me proofs - I'll wait until everything is OK on that score and then post details.

The fridge magnets are temporarily on hold I'm afraid - I'm just too busy with work at the moment to give it my full attention... but hopefully I'll have a chance in a week or two. Apologies for the delay.  ph34r

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments.  Whilst it hasn't gone to Maddies head (although I kept calling her my calendar girl last night) it may have gone to my head a bit and my OH who took the picture now thinks he is David Bailey!!!

Never mind, there is always next year ;) If you want to post your Christmas photo of Saartje, you can use the Photo boards further down the forum although we usually like to wait until later in the year before we start posting Christmas photos (we made an exception for the card threads :D)
