I wasnt sure where I could post this- I mostly lurk here, but would love to come out of hiding to ask for your help!

Shameless I know, 5 Minutes For Mom chose my picture along with 19 others for their summer spirit photo contest out of over 400 entries! I am so excited! The picture I chose was just a snapshot I took of my kids a couple summers ago- but it always sticks in my head of a fun summer day. What its like to be kids! They are so goofy sometimes! It makes me miss those ages- they are growing up way too fast! :cry

Here is the link to the voting, you dont have to sign up or anything, just vote! please!! http://www.5minutesformom.com/4053/finalis...-photo-contest/

I am #8 Buhtafly Wings. :lust The two cuties in goggles! :D

Thank you so much! [/COLOR]:bowI would love to win the money, I want the Canon 40D so bad and have been trying to save up for it! I appreciate the help!! :barb Vote fair too- I think its one vote per computer. So feel free to help me out and ask others to vote for me if you could, twitter, facebook, blogs etc... :ivar I am about 500 behind! haha Here is my blog post about it too.. http://buhtafly.blogs.com/buhtaflywings/20...-of-summer.html

    Nice friendly response!
    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    thank you all for voting for me. wings.gif(or at least voting for someone if it wasn't me. I agree there are some great shots!)

    I appreciate you keeping this thread open :) I am almost to 200! I think it would take a miracle at this point to catch the other 3. I hope there wasn't cheating on their part- I have no idea how the one could get to over 600! craZY! I need to find more friends I guess rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks again!! bowdown.gif

    I did this the fair way, I actually liked your shot the most, due to that you've used that high contrast - deep shadows thing I usually go for. But nr 10 and nr 18 were very nice as well. Good luck!
