Hey guys! To celebrate my return and show my commitment for the blog, I'd like to announce:

The Spring Competition

A photography competition for girls and their dolls of all ages and abilities

1. A Doll of some-sort (AG preferred)
2. A camera

The photo must have something to do with spring, whether in a grass field, with some flowers, etc. Please, a limited amount of editing. Add a caption, let's say 25 words or less about the picture. Just to give me an idea.

Hope you can enter!

Peace Out,

Julie

P.S. Happy Good Friday <3

Merry Christmas!

Hello! Sorry I didn't post yesterday like I was supposed too - We had church and everything. But that's beside the point --

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Oh, I love Christmas. I have true Christmas spirit, and I do believe in Santa Claus, I am not embarrassed to say so. Kit doesn't though, and that's her problem. Anyway.

Because time in Australia is ahead of you guys in America, Lily and us three have been awake for hours.

Lily did not get any AG things for Christmas (she didn't want anything from AG for Xmas 2010 *:(*) but she got some pretty cool stuff.  She got a country road tote bag, a watch, iTunes Card,  finally Lego HP for the PS3 and a series of other stuff I am not bothered to list. Anyway. (By the way, if you have a white Christmas,  you are very fortunate. We have a freezing, raining Christmas. 24 C... Brrrrr... Oh, I'm going off raving...)

So that was a brief explanation of our Christmas! Now I'll announce the contest winners :

In third place, Gertie1999!

Her entry: 

Fun
Hot
Dry
Tiring
Sun Screen
Pool
Vacation

In second place, Caelen!

Her entry:

Summer, such a wonderful season, the birds chirp,the sky is blue, all the animals come back and families go on vacations that bring them closer together.
  Yet I wonder, scratch that, yet I know that everything comes alive, old couples think back to their summer romances and kids go to their grandparents, relatives and any other family members. 

Kids go to camp and see their old friends, they play games and sing songs and tell scary stories by the camp fire it's almost as if you can hear their laughter.
  But for me, summer is a time of the year when I go to visit my grandparents and summer is the best season ever! So I don't want to waste it.

She went a bit over 50 words, but I loved how creative it was!

In first place... Emma!

To me, Summer is the season to see friends and have free time because you have no school.

She also had a gorgeous picture, which I was going to post, but Blogger isn't being my best friend right at this moment.

Congratulations, all of you! I loved reading your entries. I have already emailed your certificates. If you didn't get them for some reason, please email me.

I have to go now, so see you! 

NB: I will be going away soon with Lily, so I won't be posting for quite a while (about 4-5 weeks). This will be my last post for 2010! Unless, I have a change of mind, of course! So have a happy New Year!

Peace Out & Merry Christmas,

Julie

P.S. I'm scratching the 31 followers. I don't think I'll be able to do it, and anyway, this is only my 18th post!

Summer

Yippee!!! It's summer down here is Australia. You don't know how happy I am! Because it is now Summer (actually it was Summer 12 days ago) I think it is about time I'll have a little, and my first competition. 

Rules: Write in 50 words or less what Summer is to you or send in a picture of what Summer is to you visually. I know it's a bit hard if you live up north, but it's not impossible! Send in your entry to juliealbright.46@gmail.com

Include your name/nickname, blog link (if you have one), email and entry.

The photos must be your OWN that you have taken yourself. Editing is allowed. Photos and paragraphs must be appropriate.

It does not matter whether it is a photo or paragraph. I'll be judging on what I think is best.

You do not need to have a blog to enter.

Prize: A photo certificate you can post on your blog for 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners.

I will post all entries on my blog. 

Competition ends on 19th of December and winner will be announced on the 24th, just in time for christmas.

 If you have any questions, simply email me or comment. 

Good luck to everybody!!! Please enter!!

Peace Out,

Julie
