Alrighty! So we went on vacation this past week. It was FUN! I've never been to Galveston, but my first trip was awesome. The beach was pretty. Not as good as the Pacific Ocean, but I'm a California girl at heart. For those of you that do not know, Galveston is an island in the Gulf of Mexico. The water is warm and greenish, jellyfish love it, and there's no drop-off at the beach. The boys had a blast at the beach. Kaleb was loving the splash effect, and Tristan was just loving the water. He's such a water baby. I'm so proud. Daniel got a little sunburned and I got nicely tanned. *grins* Aside from the beach, there was the Flight Museum(which Daniel loved), the Train Museum(which Kaleb loved), Moody Gardens - which consists of three pyramids..one that is an aquarium, one that is a rainforest and one that is a 'discovery pyramid' where they hold exhibits. The Aquarium was AWESOME, the Rainforest was BEAUTIFUL, and the Discovery Pyramid had the Titanic exhibit, which was AWESOME. I've got pictures of the aquarium and the rainforest. They wouldn't let us take pictures at the Titanic exhibit, because the flash could cause damage to the pieces they had in the exhibit. *nods* I should have pictures up this week, so keep an eye out!

THE RESULTS ARE IN! ENJOY!

I have joined forces with =SparklyDest to run my/her/our very first contest! The theme is to be Flowers and Faeries! The idea of the contest is that the deviations have either a fairy or a flower in them - or both is doubly delicious. *nod nod* There will be three categories: Digital, Photography and Fractal. There are three winning places for each category. Anybody that would like to or is willing to donate a prize no matter how small - please send a not to either =SparklyDest or I, detailing what prize and what category.
We can't wait to see what you all submit!

Ok. So the rules are pretty simple.

1. The submitted deviation must include either a fairy, a flower, or both.
2. Make sure and link your deviation through a note to both and
3. HAVE FUN!

JUDGE'S FAVORITE

She was the first to enter the contest, and this little flower fairy is just the cutest little thing. I just couldn't help but love her.

All winners get the prizes listed above, and the Judge's Favorite gets a month worth of feature as well. So congratulate the winners! This contest was fun to watch, and fun to judge. I can't wait until the next one I get a chance to run! *grins*

I promised *Mollinda that I would offer journal features to the winners of the Bee Contest, and since it's officially over - here are your winners!
