Contest Time!!

It's time again for another contest! The bad news? My computer has been in the shop and I've been unable to post this month's contest. The good news: Entries are due at the end of September, so you have a whole month left to work on your opus!

This month's theme is "Beat the Heat". It is SO hot outside! This time every year, Las Vegans start doing anything they can to keep their minds and bodies distracted from the heat. So, let your contest submission reflect that. Maybe an umbrella, maybe ice cream, maybe swimming. Whatever you choose, your entry's only rule is that it reminds you of a cooler time.

Entries are due on September 30 at 11:59pm. Good Luck!

Here they are!

Official June Contest Post Page...finally!

Oh, what a week!! Cleaning the house for out of town guests, a birthday party for twin 3-year-olds and 20 of their closest friends, 2 trips to the airport, entertaining said out of town guests, and, when everything has finally returned to normal, I get sick. No worries, though, I'm over it. ;)

Is everyone busy creating their June Contest entries? Remember, this month's theme is Re/Upcycled items. Every entry must be made primarily of recycled materials. This is a great theme and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Please post your entries here! You must submit your item by July 1 to be considered. The winner will be announced on July 5th.

Thanks!!
