The 2021 Calendar SNAFU (Now Fixed!)

September 27, 2020 By: Summer Samba25 Comments

Summer's human thought she was done with the 2021 calendar... but there was one thing she forgot....

When my human finishes my calendars every year, she orders one as a proof to make sure everything looks okay. The past couple of years, everything has, without anything needing to be redone. When she got my 2021 calendar, she was pretty happy with it. In fact, she thought it looked the best ever, and my newsletter subscribers even got an announcement about it on Friday. Except, there was a big mistake! Can you see what it is?

If you noticed the year, yep, that’s it! And she didn’t even notice it until she brought it out for this photo shoot. But don’t worry, as soon as we finished in the studio, she ran back to Photoshop, fixed it, and re-uploaded the calendar with the right year. (Yes, when you make a mistake, all the pages have to be uploaded again to Zazzle, which is really pretty dumb.)

The real 2021 calendar cover

Here’s how the cover looks now, and you can get it here.

Fortunately, the calendar month dates are a Zazzle template, so she didn’t have to fix that. It was already correct. As you can see, some months have me in a holiday setting.

Other months just have a fun photo of me. I had lots of great photo shoots in the past year, so there was a bunch to choose from!

And Dr. Bones made it in! I’m sure lots of you will be happy to know that. And the outtake version of the calendar will be done in a couple of days… with the correct year, for sure!

What’s going to happen to the proof? My human is keeping it, of course, and will hang it in the kitchen, like she does with every proof every year. At least she won’t have to look at the cover!

    Tee hee hee. That reminds Mom when she and Dad ordered their xmas cards one year and accidentally had the wrong year printed on them.

    Your calendar looks amazing, Summer Sweets! Great job to you and your momma. Pussycat sidenote: Mom Kerry was an attendee at the recent CWA meeting on Zoom and saw your momma on the panel. Mom still has a fond memory of meeting you and your momma in Portland at one of the cat shows a couple years ago and you were the Pet Me kitty there at the time.

    Bless your mom’s heart. The year was the 1st thing we noticed and mom just chuckled. So glad she caught it. It’s all good! We are very excited to see that Dr. Bone’s made it into the calendar, very appropriate and cute! Can’t wait to order ours. Purrs

    2020 is not a year we need to repeat. MOL. Unless you’re asking for a do-over.
