I feel you, Afke! My garden has suffered from storms and the two summers from hell... But so far life is always returning each Spring!
Anyway, I miss winter so much! Real winter... those pictures really make long for snow, cold and long winter walks... so beautiful.
And I can see the tiny snek on my phone! It is sooo beautiful!
I am not sure I ever saw a wild snake in Germany, I sometimes see slow-worms. They really look like snakes, but are actually a kind of lizard without legs. Also super tiny!
Afke, would you like to show some pictures of your garden?

*hugs Berit tightly* I also care a lot! For you and this site!
For me your efforts to keep the site alive and more active than it has been since many years are super successful! While there aren’t dozens of people active here, our dear core members have contributed so much lately and it is so much fun! This is really all thanks to you and Czarine! You definitely make a big difference for me and help brighten my days every single day!
I personally would miss you so much if you would decide to leave but of course, being and posting here should be fun, rewarding and a community experience, so if it doesn’t feel like that to you anymore it is very understandable that you want to leave. Just know that you would be missed!

Yes, that is right. And I really don’t want to complain to you at all. Still very happy to have the printed thing in my hands.
It’s nice to hear that there are options for changing the layout.

First, I really want to make clear that I don’t want to complain to Maggie, but am super thankful that she made the calendar available in printed form. However, I also have to admit that I am a bit disappointed by the physical thing...
It is really, really small, the artwork is tiny, it is indeed printed on both sides and the hole to hang it on your wall is in the middle of the artwork...
Nonetheless, the quality of the print is really good and I just love to have all of you guys’s work on my wall agin.
*Edit: as I am not paying for the 10 pics I still have on Photobucket, it won’t let me post pics normally anymore. Until I find a new hosting service maybe the quality is still good enough to see what I am talking about...sorry...

Happy new year everyone!
Maggie, thank you a thousand times for putting this together! The calendar is so vibrant! It's gorgeous!
Thank you all for submitting art and helping to continue this awesome project!
I am absolutely thrilled that we'll get the chance to buy a printed version! It looks like there are still some initial bugs to be worked out with Zazzle, but I am sure I'll love the physical calendar once it gets to me.

Of course, I am one of the people who would love to see the calendar continued also in printed form.
Opening a shop for this purpose would be great but it also sounds like a lot of even more work on top of everything you are already doing.
Should this happen it would be more important than ever that there's some actual interest and investment in this calendar. Otherwise all that work would be for nothing.
So, would it be feasible to open a shop? Would we get enough art work for a calendar? Would enough people actually buy the physical calendar?
These are my worries...

By the way, I am actually pretty surprised that there wasn't much more interest in the calendar this year. Our last calendar was such a public success and the Pinis themselves promoted it so kindly. Plus, it was sold out! But even that couldn't generate enough interest in the calendar or this site... or if it did, the interest waned fast and didn't last. .. *is sad*

I can absolutely understand that there isn't much motivation to keep the site up if can't even get the people to submit 1 drawing per year.... if it's decided to finally let go of this to me still wonderful site, I will be so sad.
But there is indeed no point in investing all the time and money for such little activity here.
Whatever is decided Maggie, I am really, really thankful that you put all this effort in for so many years. This was always and always will be a safe haven for me.

Yeah, I know Adobe and Apple are evil... I would never spend money on their products. But it would have been a shame to let that perfectly good iPad go to waste... *sighs*
I am always happy to learn about alternatives to Gimp, though! Thank you, Jarf! *hugs*
Anyway, I still think I'll make it in time. I have to admit I am getting the hang of Adobe Sketch much faster than of Gimp...
*more sighs*

Actually, sadly unfortunate circumstances granted me an iPad, I’ll try to build everything in there. At first I wanted to at least color with Gimp, but my drawing pad and Gimp don’t get along at all anymore, so it looks like I will do it 100% on the iPad after all, using Adobe sketch. Wish me luck!

Wow, that is quite a long way to go. I like the plan, don't envy you for the work ahead.
While I don't know much about your skillset, from what I've seen, I think you would be more than welcome anywhere in Europe.

I'll start coloring today! This time it's going to be 100% digital, so it still takes me longer. But should be done in time.

Ah, Foxeye, I also hope you will stay with us for a bit!
Pidgeon sounds so wonderful! I am so, so happy for you! A little cub born into your family will surely be able to fly freely and self-assured in no time!
Why do you plan on moving that much? Just curious. I definitely moved too many times in my life.

A teaser from Stargazer 's Hunt issue #2 was posted. This is supposedly work by Sonny Strait! Gee, that is almost an uncanny resemblance to Wendy's style.
