Immunity is UP for Grabs!!!

What a long busy week it's been on the Island! But looky what was returned to me by #2 this week!

That's right...The Totem is back up for grabs! And my hope beyond hope is to have everyone turn in a project this week so that the totem holder will be safe for real!

This week the "great 8" were asked to make some rainy day projects to share with you all! Out of the 8 4 decided they didn't want to leave their spot here on the Island up to fate...So here are the projects! Each one has a tag with a number on it! There is a poll in the right top corner of this blog to vote! Pick the number that corresponds to your choice! PLEASE ONLY VOTE ONCE!!!

Remember to click on the pictures to see them a little larger! :)

Good luck to you 4! Voting will go from now until 11:59 pm EST on Sunday August 19 and I will announce the winner on Monday!!

"Great 8" Don't forget your BIG CHALLENGE Projects are due to me by Friday August 24 at 11:59 pm EST!!!

Until then.....

Next Immunity Theme & a Winner

Good Mornin' everyone!!! I'm so happy to announce our winning project this week! After the vote our winner is...

Congrats #1!!!! I will be contacting you about your winnings! :)

Now on the next Immunity Challenge! Remember "Great 8" this will be due to me by this Friday August 17 by 11:59 pm EST! Fingers crossed it will actually "save" the winner this week! Ok..it's been rainy here on the Island these last few days. It's been nice as it's cooled things down a bit. So for your Immunity I would like to see some rainy day layouts! Think greys and blues...lightning...puddles..ducks...but remember... DO NOT ADD PHOTOS TO YOUR PROJECT!!! We don't want anyone guessing who's who! If there are pictures on the photo you send me I will not post it!!!

Good luck and thanks for playing!!! :)

Big Challenge #2 Projects Revealed!!!

Mornin' Islanders! Well I don't know about you but I'm experiencing what is commonly referred to as "DeJa Vu" or could it be "Groundhog's Day" syndrome... Take a look...

My "Terrific 10" very suddenly and without warning turned into the "Great 8"! I am so PROUD of my 8 and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't seriously bummed about my missing 2. But what's done is done and we move forward!!!!

The challenge this week was to use 4 of the following 6 colors: White, Brown, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Green! They could use varying shades of their 4 choices but NO other colors! I think they did an outstanding job again!!! I love these ladies! Not only did they do the challenge but they all did it with style!

Since we obviously will NOT be having Tribal Council *again* I've decided to do something a little different! I am going to put up a poll on the top right of the blog. Everyone can vote (BUT PLEASE ONLY VOTE ONCE!) until Sunday night at 11:59 pm EST. I want you to vote for your favorite! Whoever wins will get a little something crafty from me! The number on the poll will coorespond with the number on the photo of your choice! There will be 2 polls (since blogger polls NEVER work like they are supposed but ONLY vote on one poll or the other!)

Without further ado here they are...If you'd like to make them larger to get a good view just click on them! :)

Now remember: Vote ONLY once...Voting ends Sunday August 12 at 11:59 pm EST! If we have a tie my husband will pick the winner! Its fair as he doesn't pay a bit of attention to anything crafty I say. So he has no idea who is who...hehehe... Good Luck my Great 8!!! And thanks for playing!!!

I will post the winner on Monday morning!

Until then.....
