haven't been on in quite awhile. No calendar this year? Bought at least 2 every year. PLEASE, tell me that I'm wrong.
At this moment, there has been no mention made of a 2015 calendar. The member who has overseen this project for the past several years has been inactive lately, although still a member. Sorry - wish I had better news for you.
Dwayne :)
Wow, I'm gonna be bummed. I bought a couple every year also. Used one at work and always received comments. I know it was a lot of work for Pintogirl. I don't know what I'll do this year......
The stupid VWs took over lol. I kid.. they're decent... but not pinto lol
Sorry folks. I have been on the fence about doing another calendar. It is a lot of work, specially when I have to resize the photos to fit the calendar. If everyone would just set the cameras to the largest pic setting it would make things a lot easier. I also got a new computer so I don't have the same software as I did before. I need to find my Adobe for Apple software cd to install it on the new computer. With out that software I can't resize anything.
If you all still want a calendar and don't care if it doesn't get done till maybe mid Jan. You can send the pics (again, the largest ones the camera can take) to myhrdly @ me.com with out the spaces of course. Let's do it this way though. If the pic isn't large enough, it won't be used. They need to be in the 3000x1800 range. My canon camera can actually take them up to 4500x2600 range. So go get your camera's user manual or look it up online, figure out how to set it to the biggest setting then take a pic and send it to me. As soon as I get 12 big pics, I will make the calendar. Oh, and only send 1 pic, I don't want to have to decide which one you want me to use. If I need more I will ask for you guy's to send another one.
I won't be able to start on this till after the holidays though. But the sooner the pics come to me the faster I can get going once the holiday is over.
Oh, and I'll use one of my pics for Jan so you all get a full month. :D
Kim,
Very good of you to step up to the plate again!
Okay guys and gals, you heard the lady - get those pictures in and there WILL be a 2015 calendar! Better late than never!
Dwayne :)
YEA- Thanks Kim!!!
Wheee...
Let me know if I can help in any way...
Ok, so far I have 2 photos. :D
Scott, only thing I may need is the password for the chafferers again. LOL Not sure if the new computer will have it saved, I did transfer the info from the old one, but don't know if that made it or not. I really need to write it down. LOL
No Problem- PM Sent...
:)
Kim,
I'd be happy to send you a picture of mine, but I don't think you are doing a calendar of "as apart as possible" cars. :-)
Russ
Ok, last chance to get me your pics. I need to get to work on the calendar if I'm going to be able to get it done and available before Feb. I figure I would use on of my pics in Jan so you all will get full months with your pics. :D Those who haven't sent me pics, send them now, before this weekend. Jan 10th.
my hrdly@me . com no spaces. :D
Kim,
Image sent, could need adjustment . let me know and I'll correct..
Joe
hi kim pm sent along with email. thanks chris
Kirk sent one as well. ......Kirk ;D
Would have sent some, but have none in the size you need & cannot get new ones.
Maybe next year...
DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE OPTION TO BUY ONE OF THESE CALENDERS?
They will be available for sale when they are completed. Not sure exactly what route Kim is taking on this so can't say for sure what the buying process will be. Stay tuned here and she'll update us when they are done.
Dwayne :)
ITLL BE NICE TO SEE DIFFERENT PINTOS EVERY MONTH
I had to make do till the calendar becomes available.I think it looks pretty good. It certainly creates comments.
Once I get them done, hopefully next weekend, they will be available in the Cafe Press store here on the site. I'll let you all know when they are done. Won't take long once I get started. So I'm hoping for Monday at the latest.
Sorry about the size thing. It just makes it so much easier on me to get it done fast.
hi kim did you get my email? thanks chris
Kim, totally forgot about the pic of my car so I went ahead & sent the email now. Not sure if it was in time or not but figure might as well try.

Yah, got it and in time. :D I ended up being pretty busy today and didn't get a chance to work on it. Hopefully tomorrow.
Ok, I figured I would play around with making the calendar for a bit. After only a few minutes in the "create custom products" section I was done. Problem is, I can't add that one into the store. I have to go to the store, then select to "add new product" then go find the calendar in all the products the offer. Once that is selected it goes into another box which I have to select "add product", then it goes into the shop as a blank calendar. I then have to select "edit", that opens up an area where I have to select either the cover page or a month page. I then have to select add image. Then I have to upload the image, tell it to save it, then add it to the month or cover.
Problem I am having is it will only let me ad a pic to the cover page. I can add any pic any size to that page. Once I go to the months part, it will let me select an image and it shows it in the area I can select or unselect the pic, but won't show it on the actual calendar preview. So I have no idea what pic is in the calendar in what month. I also don't know if it is actually adding them to the calendar. It say's in red letters that "what I see is what I get" , well, all I see is white.
I have contacted them by email and told them I am having problems. Will have to wait to see what happens when they get back to me. Cafe press has really gotten to be a pain. I may try to do it from my PC tomorrow instead of my Mac. See if it will work with a different computer. Or I will try a different browser.
Wish me luck.
We are all wishing you luck and looking forward to the final product!
Dwayne :)
Ok, they sent me an email and it told me how to print an invoice? Have no idea what that had to do with the problem of adding photos but I started to email them back and was going to go over and make screen shots of the problem at hand and for some reason it was working properly, so I just went ahead and made the calendar.
Now, the only issue I had was two of the photos, the gold Pinto and red and white Pinto were only about 800 pixels in size. I had to blow those up to 2000 pixels. Not sure how they are going to come out in the actual calendar, so sorry if they come out grainy.
In the Janurary pic I used a pic I had took a while back ago. It is only 1000 pixels. That is to show you all what the size does in the calendar. So for next year they need to be atlas 2000 pixels in size. :D
The calendars are in the chafferers store. To get there go to the links at the top of the page and select PCCA Store, then find the link for Cafepress store. Then select the calendar for 2015.
Charter members, you save 2.00 so go to the Charter member area and find the Charter member discount forum. Then follow that till you find the cafe press link. :D
Thanks Kim. I just ordered mine.
Bill
Yippee! Great job Kim.. Thank you, thank you, thank you.. Time to order a couple.
Thanks Kim,
Just put my order in for 2. Next year maybe a current image of my car properly sized. Who knows? ;D
Joe
I am surprised, yet pleased, to see my Pinto Squire on the home page as the calendar photo for May. I am hoping against hope that mine isn't the gold Pinto photo that Kim said had to be resized and might be grainy. That would be just my luck! lol
