And Barbara in her kiln - another great shot.

Good job Chip, and I'm so glad you included one of yourself on the back.
Thanks Jackie, I begrudgingly sent in my picture with my "Buddy" (He had the name before Bill Clinton's dog). The printer put it on! LOL

OMG!! This is great!! I just got my calendar and all those folks I once respected....well... I am seeing them in a whole new light!!

Chip, what a great job! I know it must've taken more work then I could imagine. Now my question is to Brad- any chance you are gonna have a glass nudists and safety session at the next Warmglass Weekend? I bet it would be standing room only. :oops: And here I was thinking we were all just a bunch of party folks given how much we enjoyed those wonderful Washington State wines at the last sink class! :-$

Another mail delivery and I am still without a calender.........

If mine got lost somehow, which would not surprise me, are there any left to cover mail losses?

Lisa you're not alone. I prayed to the mighty calender goddess all morning but to no avail...The mailman came and went and left me nothing but junk mail (that would include anything other than my calender at this point) I'm ready to head down to the post office to see if they are all enjoying my calender for a few days before I get to have it.
It's really no fair that the other half of September gets HER'S before me when she lives further away :roll:
Were they sent out in alphabetical order by any chance?

No, we haven't held any back (still have a waiting list), but I'm pretty confident yours will reach you. It was mailed last week, so should be there soon.
Donna S wrote:Were they sent out in alphabetical order by any chance?
No, not alphabetical. The first batch was sent last week to everyone who had ordered and PAID by that time. Both you and Lisa were in that group. The second batch was send out early this week to late payers and to folks who ordered more than one (their first calendar was sent separately, additionals were sent in this batch, so if you ordered more than one look for two packages).

Chip is still sending out as payments come in from stragglers. Some people who pre-ordered have decided they don't want one, so that's how people on the waiting list are getting calendars. Chip's done all the mailing, as well as most of the production work.

And finally, I haven't gotten my calendar yet, either.

Sounds like they went with the very first batch, if you had paid. I had,
and am also waiting. Welcome to the vagaries of Canada Post. It'll be interesting to see the gap between arrivals for you and me. Brock

I can't believe I got my calendar today. Being in Canada I just figured I would have to wait longer but the fates smiled on me this month, in so many ways! The pictures look great. I still can't believe this was organized and arranged so quickly.

Thanks Chip - you did a fantastic job. The calendar looks amazing - I'm sure it was way more work than you signed up for. And Brad, can we say enough how much you are appreciated and while we know you were involved I've got to say, it would have been nice to see your picture in there as well.

Canada in the first batch, other countries in the second. They were all sent Air Mail.

I can testify from experience with sending out my book that the Canadian post office is horrible, and the British Columbia mail service is the worst of all.

Talk about timing the posts. Guess those Ontario postal workers are doing their job this month.

And just who do you think's on the right side of April 2005?

Actually, Chip did pretty much everything with the calendar except for the cover and for collecting payments. He wanted a photo of me for the cover, but I couldn't find a camera that could take the abuse.

Perhaps less pot smoking on lunch hours out in Ontario Pam? :wink: I'll let you know when mine comes Brock. I'm guessing two days after yours...
