You're a doll for thinking of me, thanx, Bud! I'm coming up on the end of my current term in school, and this one has me in a "Capstone Project" course {among others}; a 25 page proposal, so I've been rather busy.. but thought I'd pop on before going to get a new coffee pot {Son broked mine and that just won't fly, LOL}

Have as most xllnt day, Dear ~

UPDATE: MichaelG's photo was disqualified because he failed to submit it on time. EgyptianDan's photo was the photo with the next highest votes and his photo has been added to the calendar. The calendar will go to print this week and we will begin taking orders shortly.

 

[Yvonne G]

That's too bad. That was a pretty nice picture. I went back and looked at Michaelg's profile and it looks like the only time he was on the forum was the very first time that he joined, submitted his picture, then we never saw him again. I guess he didn't see the post where you asked the folks to send their pix to you. Too bad, but good for Danny!

I'm looking forward to getting the calendar. Thanks for doing that, Josh. It was nice of you to take the time and very good for us. Hope we can get it in time for Christmas.

I felt bad for michaelg too but I PMed and emailed him multiple times...
not much more i can do...

sweet welcome to the calender danny, i was really hoping an Egyptian would be in it.

 

[Yvonne G]

It would have been nice to have a different type of tortoise for each month. But the pictures that won are really very nice pix and good photography. Let's all keep that in mind for next year's calendar. Those of you who have different exotic tortoises, try to take some interesting and good photog. quality shots so we can have a different type of tortoise for each month. (looking ahead, lol!)

Glad to be aboard Kevan

Maybe Josh could make slips of paper of all our different tortoises. Put them in a hat and pick out 13. Than people submit pictures for those 13 catagories. We vote on each catagory and the most voted for pictures in each catagory get in the calendar.

[Yvonne G]

That's a good idea. Then we could enter more than one type of tortoise, but only one entry per category! I like that. More work for Josh, but he's young and energetic!!

Has anybody gotten their calendars? I ordered 3 back on Nov 25th and I still haven't received them. They were going to be Christmas gifts. Not cool.

 

[kevantheman35]

ordered mine on the 6th, still not yet but its only a little over a week

 

[KQ6AR]

I Don't have mine yet either. I'm sure Josh isn't buying his family's x-mas gifts with our money.
No worries

 

[kevantheman35]

i imagine its probably a company shipping them out?

 

[HermanniChris]

Has anyone heard any updates on getting our calendars? Not sure if I missed something....

 

[Josh]

They are on their way. We had some pretty major issues with the printer and getting the right cover image. I am extremely sorry for the delay. ;-/ It was a series of setbacks that were beyond our control.

 

[pebbles mom]

any estimated shipping date?

 

[Josh]

people should be receiving them any time now

 

[Crazy1]

Thanks for the update Josh.

 

[KQ6AR]
