*****Feb. Submissions will cut off tonight at 7pm EDT*****

I'm pleased we added to the number of the photographs, and I will hopefully get the threads going later tonight.

I added the opportunity to submit more than one photograph per photographer, it's so nice to have the power of hosting
Add one if you like, are willing to host the March contest if you win, and have a star to post polls.

Feb. contest related: To the velveteen ocelot: you will be surprised

This is a painting I have in my bedroom, to see when I sit in bed and read. Painted by my friend Lea Lackey Zachmann who is an art teacher at High Point University.
I could not afford to buy it, so I asked to be allowed to hang it.
Now you can imagine how much I like your entry, and how startling it was to see it.

To all you who read this:
go look at the entry by velveteen ocelot in the February contest submissions, and if you possibly can, enter a photograph yourself.







Here are some more of her works.

*****I can't offer any special prizes***** Just encouragement / Feb Contest with a twist

Please, guys, submit some more photos.
I should be closing the submissions, but we are really as low as ever. So I'll push it for one day, til tomorrow evening, Saturday.
If you want to submit a second photo, go for it. I'm the hostess, I can decide that for my contest, and maybe it will be fun.
