Her blog is wonderful so please drop by and tell her thank you for yourself.. . . And the winner is:

Kailani at An Island Life is hosting a vacation photo contest which goes very well with the theme of this contest. Here's my entry, and since I can't compete with some of the beautiful entries I'm going strictly for laughs here, but in my defense this day of snorkeling in Belize last October was one of the best days of my life:

Oh, I am so thrilled and so sweetly amazed. Thanks scribbit, for hosting a fun contest and thank you Meredith for taking the time to read.
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy me.
What a wonderful list of bloggers to discover! Makes me almost wish that it was a snowy day and I was trapped inside with nothing to do but read posts. Nice weather or not, I'll make a point of checking out each of them. Cool beans.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have fun looking over these blogs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting mine. I don't think you want the Ritz by now, though--they are probably stale. If they are, they get tossed to the birds. My birds and squirrels are well fed, LOL!
Oh. My.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is hysterical. And now that I've beheld its glory, it will live forever in my mind.
Oy.
Thank you for hosting this contest. I'm going to have fun reading these.
ReplyDeleteLaughs indeed! Your photo is hilarious, although I'm not sure I'd be chuckling if I knew I were its subject ;-)
ReplyDeleteOi...that picture...burns in your brain doesn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Jenn! I loved your post!
Onward to June!
Oooh, GREAT list. Will read and fantasize...
ReplyDeletepI love that picture!! Thanks for entering the contest, too!
ReplyDeleteSteph
I am enjoying the variety and the international flavor of the entries. Your contests open up a whole world to your readers! Thanks for the virtual travel.
ReplyDeleteWow, an honorable mention. What a wonderful compliment. Thank you to both of you - Meredith for all your hard work in judging and Michelle as always for hosting.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually on the vacation I wrote about now so I haven't had a chance to read the other entries yet, but you can be sure that I will the first chance I get.
Of course I first have to remove the image that is seared across my brain blocking access of anything new... What a picture!
I love this photo! I think this would be an excellent entry in a vacation photo contest :)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree there are some interesting new blogs to check out. I had fun and I learned a few things which I will post soon. Thanks for hosting the contest.
ReplyDeleteGood for those old ladies getting in gear like that! I hope I will be that way when I'm old(er).
ReplyDeleteROFL! Now I know what all those comments on the photo contest was all about. That is hilarious!
