Born to Love Nature - Stamp by druideye Little Green Lizard - Stamp by druideye

Hello my dA friends. Summer is here and I've been SO busy with the end of school, photography, and vacation! I have two more vacations coming up this month, they all have to fit in June because one of my sons was accepted to a special music camp in July, and then school starts again in August. This means I will be slow on EVERYTHING including my groups, so please bear with me.

My photography is going to be in several local magazines this summer, including several covers. I'm really excited, and I'll share the covers once they come out.

I am still working on the AIDS book, so no worries - be on the standby for info on how to order it, but I am a perfectionist and have to check and doublecheck everything before I let it be open to the public. And that takes time.

:new: I am hosting a new photo contest, which you can read about at the bottom of my journal - or check the news article here: news.deviantart.com/article/11…! The theme is "Classic Movie Moments" You can see the submissions on my front page.

NOTE: I have changed the deadline to give you all more time!

Born to Love Nature - Stamp by druideye Little Green Lizard - Stamp by druideye

In honor of National Poetry Month, I've chosen to feature deviations that have the word "Poetry" in their title. There were tons to choose from, I hope you enjoy the ones I've chosen.

On the topic of poetry, check out this poetry group if you like to write poems of various styles and forms.

:iconversebyverse: versebyverse

I am still working on the AIDS book, so no worries. I also have started a new photo contest, which you can read about at the bottom of my journal - or check the news article here: news.deviantart.com/article/11…! The theme is "Classic Movie Moments".

Did you know that April has some interesting dates?

(Today) April 10th is "Encourage a Young Writer" Day
How about find a young writer on dA and give him or her some encouragment today?

April 14th is when the Titanic struck the iceberg - it sunk on April 15th.

April 15th is when the first McDonald's opened.

April 18th is Paul Revere Day - "the British are coming!".

April 20th is National Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day.

April 22nd is EARTH DAY!

April 23rd is William Shakespeare's Birthday.

April 26th is Hug a Friend Day.

April 28th is Poetry Reading Day.

April 30th is National Honesty Day - so I guess we start off the month with lies (April Fool's Day) and end it with telling the truth!

:bulletblue: :bulletblue: Also please remember it takes time to produce a book especially when I have a full time job (being a wife and mother) as well as all the other things I have to do, so those who are having work put in the AIDS charity book I am working on it and it will be available soon, probably ready to purchase this Spring!
