didn't realize

I didn't realize that you it won't show the pictures for the campaign entries I posted here. If you just click view though it will show it and also if you click vote it will show the picture for that particular one. Don't worry it will ask you to confirm the vote. I am not trying to not show the pictures on purpose to con people into clicking the vote button just to look at the picture. I am not that mean. Thanks again

Help Please!!

I need every one's help to win the campaigns I am entered in. The campaigns offer scholarships and stuff for college. If you want to help me win then vote, review and share with everyone you know. don't worry, you don't have to sign up or create a profile to vote and review any of my campaign entries. Here is my profile link. it's www.brickfish.com/erica_ryoko On the right hand corner there is a link that says "View All Campaign Entries," if you click it, it will show you all the entries I had submitted to either the same or different campaigns. to view and vote or review a campaign, click the pictures. under the pictures description you should be able to post that specific entry to other sites. I would really appreciate it is you helped me out. Also here are a couple of my entries just in case--for whatever reason--you are not able to get to my profile via the link above.

These are just a few of my entries. The bottom two are blogs and the one with the poster saying I am not picking my nose is an entry but I also have a blog that goes more in depth. I would really appreciate it if you guys voted, reviews and most definitely shared my campaign entries with others. Not only does it help me by giving me a higher chance of winning, but the more views that are generated to the site, the more companies want to start campaigns and that allows more people to enter in a different campaigns. Thus helping more people. THANKS!!!

Spending quality time!

As we all know, today is Thanksgivings Day. I wanted to wish everyone a splendid one and talk about how great a time I had preparing for the holdiday and helping my mom with the preparations. Our family is a very traditional one. We make everything home-made and from scratch. Last night well into this morning we baked one cherry pie, 2 pumpkin pies, from the extra crust from both we made a secret family treat called doohickees, and preparing the turkey to be cooked old fashioned. We don't like the cooking bags that most people put turkeys in and for those you have to cook the turkey seperately and you loose a lot of the tenderness and flavor of the trukey once done. it was set on low temperature and every so often, either me or my mom would get up to bast the turkey.

I had a splendid time and after everything was done, me and my mom just sat and chatted. Even though we can talk and chat all the time. This was one-on-one time that couldn't be interrupted by anyone because it was just the two of us in the house. I really value that time even though most people would be like, "but you had to cook and stick your hands in a turkey and it took you guys forever and a day to do everything..." I don't mind. My family is a baking and cooking family and it's worth the time, especially more since I got to spend the time with my mom and that's something that just me and her shared that I can look back on and say "hey I remember when we were trying to cook the pumpkin pie and you said I can pour it and you were mad for like a second or two because I overfilled the one pie and we had to pour it into the other one and stuff like that."

I always say to everyone, spend those times with your moms, dad, and depending on the family setting sometimes your grandma. It's quality time. Like for boys, my dad for every thanksgiving has to make sure all the TV's have adequate seating in front of them, that all the speakers are working, then he makes sure he has decks of cards and different games whether they are board games or card games, he sets up kids tables and other things too. When I am at his house I spend that time with him preparing because we talk while we are setting things up. I value that time.

Anyways, I've taken up more than enough of your time. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and if you don't celebrate this holiday, that's fine but you are missing out on one heck of a feast. I mean come on you have so many regular food and then so many desserts. It's marvelous.

Some of My artwork

These are some of my favorite artwork from ten different art books I have. I drew all of these. Most of them are somple sketches and some are more defined by using different types of pencils. Like softer leaded graphite and harder leaded graphite. a couple of them aren't finished but I am waiting for that shot of inspiration to help me create the rest of it. Hope you like my artwork

Fun day!!

I had a great day today. Besides getting to relax I went outside and took some gorgeous photos with my Kodak Camera. I think it's Model C743 or something like that. It's a good camera but everyone who uses mine say that they hate it. Although I wish I had one of those more professional Kandids(sp?) mine does the job I bought it for. so here's my pictures. ENJOY!!

Well that's all of them that I took today. Hope you find them interesting. IN FACT these are just things that are around my house. Like that well in the tree. I made that my sophmore year of highschool. It was a pain in the butt to make when you have a boy that won't stop pestering you when you need to cocentrate. but that too like these photos turned out A-OKAY!! Anyways, if you like my photos enough to want to keep. Please just ASK before taking them. that's a major pet peeve of mine. ONE, it's common courtesy and TWO I can find out very easily who has taken my photos and if you don't have permission then I will take them back. That's all. -^.^-

Thanks!!
