All month long I assumed I would get time to draw, but alas, it appears to be a lost hope...

I did manage one decent pic right at the beginning of the month that received 4 quick one votes... Oh you little scoundrels... lol

So with 2 days left & me with 2 double shifts I am guessing that if I squeeze something in, it will be rushed at the last second...

I do so hate that I have missed a whole month of gallery surfing... I may never catch up...

Anyway, I miss y'all & hope to be back at it in the near future...

Any chance of some of the really good pics that have been voted down being posted here so as to save me some searching when I get back???

matthew

Just from May 1 on... I am up to date from April I think...

Hey Matthew. Me too. No time. No time. Other than ThinkWrite in the forums and playing with the new Avatars I haven't done diddly. And I think I browsed the Gallery once this past month. Alas...

It'll all come back in the fall when people stop all that nasty playing outdoors stuff

Luna

At least you can pick your own top 5 with a fresh eye! Have fun!

Qsilv

pfft... I've had no time for play either... or at least not enough to get involved in any serious pixel assemblage here.

Just looked back to see what I did do, and discovered rather to my amazement that I actually did produce eleven pieces in the month of June. BUT they're really all just quick sketches, other than the 'Diet Cola, Egg & 4 Ibuprofen' thing... and that one, tho I did put some time into it, was still never meant to be competitive, just a joke.

Oddly liberating, and yet oddly sad too. I guess I miss the experimenting, the good-humored competition, the edgy banter with such a certainty of warm hearts that there was no real fear of hurt feelings.

Well, we'll see what July brings...

Cheers,

Q

with you guys all the way.. just haven't really had time to do anything halfway serious, but, like Qsilv, I look back and see 9 pictures in my gallery for June (surely, I did those back in April or May..?)

3 of those are in Faces (I guess my favourite theme up until now), even though I knew that there wouldn't be a Top 5.. just want Faces to be kept on as a medium !

I'm going to be off-site for the next 4 or 5 weeks, so I'll wish you guys all a very happy summer and please be refreshed (sharp teeth and claws !) to rejoin the Battle Royale later in the year.

I actually send fondest regards to everyone.

Qsilv

waves... and immediately begins laying a trail of chocolate morsels to help marg find her way back here....

marg

it's no good, Qsilv.. only Smirnoff would work.. and that, alas, would evaporate too fast

.. oh, well.. waving, not drowning.. leave a rude comment on one of my pics, and I'm certain to get it !

Dragon

How about chocolates containing Smirnoff? That might work.

Luna

I would follow a trail of that!
marg, we will miss you!

'Looking forward to seeing you when you get back, marg.

Marg, we will miss you. Come back as soon as possible.
I agree that Faces should be kept even though it won't be in the Top 5.
Yesterday, I read something Lilalee wrote. She said her mother always told her something like:
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Her mother was very wise. I DO AGREE.

SORRY it was KStanley's quotation.
