Bob the Pleo eats his way through 2013
« on: November 17, 2012, 01:17:09 PM »

It's that time of the year again, when everyone starts to think about calendars and Christmas presents.  Well, again this year all the folks down here in Weedovia got together and came up our own contribution to that field: a nice, full-color 2013 Pleo calendar!

This calendar not only has twelve photos of Pleos in the wild,  but is also jam packed with hundreds and hundreds of fun and odd holidays and events, most about food.  Well it is Bob's calendar, after all . . .   %)

There are also witticisms from Grumpy, Yogurt spouting off his wisdom, holidays from around the world (including US, Canada, Australia, China, and England, to name a few!), and a few non-existent days thrown in for good measure!   Bob did get a bit confused, and had trouble with the names of the months and days of the week, but Bob does seem to get a bit pre-occupied with food . . .  

I will update this post with a link to the calendar on Zazzle.com for those who want to order direct.  ( http://www.zazzle.com/bob_the_pleo_eats_his_way_through_2013-158482406780899163 )They have done a wonderful job on last couple of calendars, and I'll leave it up there pretty much all year for those who don't get a chance to order one this week . . . but that does mean if you still want a 2012 calendar (seems silly with only one month to go, but you never know!) you better order it this weekend before I remove it and upload the 2013 one!

And like the last two years I will also be placing a bulk order here in the US next weekend (hoping they have a black Friday sale like last few years), and will have them available to mail out to individuals worldwide, which should help on shipping for some.  It's looking like the bulk order will end up around $12-15 each including shipping by the time it's all done, but we'll have to wait and see what discounts they offer (2011 was a 65% discount and last year was 50%, so keep your fingers crossed).  If you are interested in one of these, please PM me and let me know by Wednesday so I know how many to order!

I will add pictures and more info here as things get solidified.

I think Zazzle has caught onto my scheme.  Their sales are getting worse each year.  The best I've seen so far this holiday season is 30% off :(  which makes each calendar around $15us plus whatever shipping to you costs.   The dilemma is, should I buy them Monday at this price so I'm sure you'll get them before the end of the year, or wait to see if they do a deeper discount as we draw closer to Christmas?

I'm happy to go for them at that price.  Still a good deal :)  better than no discount.  I also don't mind waiting if that is what everyone else wants to do. :)

 Put me down for one this year, don't mind the price, Pleos are unique and of course this is the only calendar of it's kind. HOw can you put a price on something like that! P:o P8)

Got the calendars in today!   :)  But apparently one of the little pictures didn't upload.  :-[ So, as it turns out, the little icon for Grumpy is missing at the bottom of about 3/4 of the pages.  :-[  Not a biggie, the calendars still look nice, but you may see that classic "broken image" icon scattered here and there. 

I'll start shipping 'em out tomorrow!!!

And I did get a few extras in case there are any stragglers or last minute orders . . .  but I only ordered a few . . . so if you forgot to order one and you want one, let me know quick!!!  :dino-chase:


 :xmas-list:  All orders come with a free bump up on Santa's nice list. ;)

Are there any of those extra few calendars still available? I'd love to have one, especially as I very oddly didn't receive the usual donkey calendar from Santa this year :'(   I had a look on zazzle but couldn't find the calendar on the uk version - I'd guess I can order from the us site if you don't have any left? It looks great!

Kaiteee, I'll PM you the details.  Zazzle gets kinda wierd when ordering from different countries . . . sometimes it's cheaper to order locally (from Zazzle UK) and sometimes it's cheaper to order from US site and pay international shipping.  But let me PM you first . . .
