It's finally up!

Rats Rule 2008 Calendar

I used to be able to list multiple shops together by putting commas between the shop names, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Ugh. We have multiple shops because the free shops only allow one of each item in it (premium shops cost about $6.00 a month, which wouldn't be worth it for the income the shop brings in... we need all of it to go to supporting the site).

If we had more sales, I'd upgrade us to premium... *hint*  Cheeky

[edited to give new URL for calendar]

As I mentioned in the post below, I DID upgrade the shop, so the new address is http://www.cafepress.com/ratsrule

Update your links! I know I'll be updating mine for weeks. LOL!

Looks like I will be upgrading our shop after all!

In the meantime, I have added a NEW product to the line... Notecards!

Here's our first, the Cover Girl, Georgia!

http://www.cafepress.com/ratsrule.175309532

I was thinking of doing a "notecard of the month" with the others, but I think, instead, once I get the new store set up, I'll have ALL the winning images available as packs of 10 notecards, since I will be able to add unlimited items. Grin I'm just waiting on permission from a few of the winners. Future contest rules will also include permission to use the images on other products in the store. Grin

Yet another update... I've been busy busy!  Hyper

I've added a crap-ton of notecards, magnets and mini buttons, so be sure to check it out.

I'll also be adding some ornaments (holiday and otherwise), tile boxes, and bumper stickers this week.

I think it would be better if the rats from november and december were switched. It would have matched more!

Oh my gosh Suebee!  This is so incredibly amazing!!!  Thank you so much for all the work you put into this.  I know how hard it has to be... I couldn't believe you put the calendar together every year, this is just too fantastic.  My new job starts Tuesday... I think I know where my paycheck will be going  Wink   Again, unbelievable job!  Thank you!

I had thought about that, but the November one was more "fall," you know?

Now that 13 have been ordered (yay!), I really can't change it. Heh.

Suebee, will you have cards made from previous years' calendars? And some of the runners-up from last year were great pictures, too, as I remember. The possibilities are endless!

I did my part - placed my order today.

Yes, I am. I have gone through all four past calendars, and made notes (well, ok, not 2007 yet, as it's on my wall at the moment haha). I also plan on going through everything that's been submitted for all five calendars (wow, we've done this five years now?!?!), particularly looking for holiday images. I need to contact each submitter and ask permission to use the images, though, to be fair. Some of them might not be around anymore...

Next year, I am including "permission to use submitted images on any other merchandise to raise money for the forum" in the rules, so I don't have to hunt people down. LOL!

The possibilities truly are endless... I've been waking up at 3:30 am with ideas some nights, and have to get up to write them down so I don't forget. LOL!

Nope. Sad Just the short sleeve ones. Sorry...

I'd never thought of long-sleeved onesies... they have a feedback link... I'll use it. Grin

Edit: Well, that suggestion was roundly shot down.  Roll Eyes I tried. *sigh*

Here you can see the full range of what they offer. I don't recall seeing anything like you're asking for... do you mean a zip-up hoodie sweatshirt? I know they don't do sweaters... that would be too hard to print on! LOL!

BTW, I didn't put the various designs on every apparel item available... some of them I just didn't find attractive (yellow tee, women's cap-sleeve tee, men's sleeveless tee*, for example) and I didn't know if maternity wear was something people were interested in.

*the men's sleeveless tee looks like something you'd see on COPS. All it needs is "Bikini Inspector" or "My Wife Left Me For My Dog" printed across it. Roll Eyes

Yes, a zip up hooded sheatshirt,  know there's two on them, but is there one that you could put the design on the back or all the way across the front?

I"ll definitely will be ordering a calendar! I usually buy pitbulls calendar, but now that Chico has passed away it's kind of hard to look at those calendars and I think it's time for a new theme...RATS!!

I was also looking at apparel stuff....why is everything white??? I'd totally buy a shirt or something if it came in black.

Sue, as you're thinking of card themes - can I make a suggestion? I always seem to need a sympathy card for friends who've lost their ratties. Something appropo... Thanks
