Good evening and almost Autumn.

The email account has been activated to receive the photos that you wish to enter into consideration for the 2011 Calendar.

The theme this year will be HOMESTEADING FUN. Cookouts, horses horsing around, children swinging, ladies knitting, men hunting (or men knitting and ladies hunting), playing in the streams, or just laying in a hammock looking at the sky. You get the idea - I hope.

Please do not put in a photo that's been in a previous calendar. But, okay to put in previous entry.

Also, please try to not have a huge photo emailed. If it wins, I can get the huge original from you. Try to keep them about a size for the email that could be seen on one HT screen without having to slide the screen.

Now - 2 entries per member that chooses to enter please.
Keep them within last 5 years or so, I'm expanding the timeframe as it's a specific theme - and there are good photos out there that could be missed otherwise.

From tonight until October 22 - One Month. Then I'll take time to get them in a manner to be voted on for the 12 months - and I might choose the cover, or we may vote on it - totally depends on the photos entered. The past two calendars there has been a photo that would just jump out and yell COVER.

The email address for this:
[email protected]

Please put your user name on the subject line - other info that you decide on
for the email - please give a little info, just a line or two - please


I will try to answer questions on this thread, or PM or that email address.

I'm aiming for a late November/early December print/mailing of these.
No, we don't have a firm price yet, but I expect no more than last year, and maybe back down to the first year's price.

The winning photos will have a calendar given to the member as a prize.
And I think this year we will allow only one winning photo per member name.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this year's entries.

Have HOMESTEADING FUN!

I have a couple questions Angie
!st do the pictures need to be a horizontal picture or what if it is a vertical photo?
Also if the original is a little darker on the computor can you lighten or edit pictures after we email them to you?
Thanks, Katie

They can be verticle, and a colored side will be put on the left and right to make it work when printing.

Yes, when I save the photo to my computer, I can make it lighter or the printer can.

Only 222222222222!! :eek: In 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
I have trouble picking 2 from 1 year! lol!
I better get to work looking for the perfect 2 :) :)
It has to be 2 or we'd have 500 really great photos to vote on. And if funds would allow, then we'd have to have a photo a day calendar - but that would be quite expensive... so, we do best we can :bouncy:

Angie, I sent my pictures to the email address above. I hope they show up, as most folks that see me around here know I'm terrible at posting pictures!
Thanks for all your time!
LOL! I did find it curious that you were asking the first question. ;)
You must have some doozies! I hope to see them!! :) :)

I didn't look yesterday, it's on my list of things to accomplish today.

I'll go check that email right now, and send reply emails to all that I find there, and thank you for entering...

I just got a few more photos and did a reply email to those that I've received.

Keep them coming - remember FUN is what you or your child or friend thinks is fun....

Looking forward to more photos.

Thank you for the new photos. I've emailed you back to let you know I have your photos.

I'm Loving them all, but some are just speaking to me a little bit more. I'm sure glad I don't have to do the picking out.
