Elisabeth,
You have come up with a wonderful idea.
Jeanie

YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO USE ANY PICK I HAVE POSTED....I'M NOT A GOOD AT PHOTOGRAPY,,BY LONG SHOT.....LISA

This is a FANTASTIC idea - especially as a farewell to the Manufactory and the great dolls they produced.

It would be nice to see dolls from varying years. I do have the HDF book and my only criticism of that book was that I wanted more variation and a lot of the pics were of recent dolls.

A great idea - I love it!

great idea i would send in a pic and buy the calendar

Yep - I think this would be a great gift as well

Love it Elisabeth! I'd like to contribute and I'll buy a calendar for certain! I don't know it I have any pics good enough. Some people are saying to take them off the forum, but don't you need larger pixells for the calendar. Original unresized photos I would imagine.

Thats a lovely idea...it would be great to see everyones photos all in one place...I would really like to buy a calendar

yes, Lori......I would need/want original pics for this to work....they need to have a high pixxell count. I will work on this on the weekend and then put out a call to send pics next week. I do not want ANYone to think their pics are not "good enough" as that simply is not true. Everyone can turn in pics even if they do not buy a calendar. We do not feel the need to critrique or ostricize here...everone is an equal member here, including mods and admin....so all for one, one for all at DCC! I happen to LOVE everyones pics here....it is THEIR true passion and I love that!

hugs and I will fill in more this weekend

Elisabeth

I agree.

Please let us know the following as soon as you know, Elisabeth...

Picture Information
Size: What size do you need?
Variety: Will the calendar be random dolls or will a variety be stressed?
Colors: Are we having a color calendar or a black and white calendar?
Border versus non-border: Should we submit pictures with borders or without borders?
Timeframe: When is the deadline to submit pictures?
How many?: How many pictures can we send in?
Layout: Do you need pictures that are landscape or otherwise?
How many pictures per page?: What is the layout of the calendar and how many pictures will be on what size of a page?



I will buy a calendar and hope to submit pictures depending on the deadline. I may need to take new ones to meet the pixel count.

I would definitely love to have one and would contribute a photo too if I can!! What a wonderful itea!!

Thanks for researching this and offering to ship them out and all Elisabeth!!

Hugs
Donna

I will start a new post this weekend with info.

BUT what i do know now is that the larger the better (pixxel count) and no boarders as each calendar page will have a boarder. I will start a poll to see which one. There is one with 12 seasons on it and I thought that was cute, but there are others. We can vote and decide.

Once we have a border selected, we will try to do 2-6 photos per page....depending how many we get on each "theme" or "topic" for that page. They can have up to nine per page but then the pics get pretty small and I think that would be too busy. 4-5 sounds perfect to me....but we will see once all pics are turned in.

deadline will be Oct 31st to turn in pics (I will post my email in thread this weekend) that way we can send in the info in Nov and have the calendars in hand by first of december!

I am thinking we could sell and collect monies Nov 1st through 10th.....so we can send in our order and know exactly how many everyone needs by the 10th.

Again I will be posting thisd info and all the rest this weekend. I havent spent much time on that site yet....Give me til sunday to check it all out.

Hugs guys

Elisabeth

I am really looking forward to seeing what is decided on this. I think the seasons theme sounds great. But December will just have to be Christmas.!
