Voting is going on...

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Kristi is working her tail off to post the categories for voting.  She isn't finished yet, and I will certainly let you know when she is, but if you'd like to take a look and do some voting in the mean time... follow this link.
So far she's gotten through about 11 categories.... out of 25 - so there are many more to come!

Also, if you missed my final post with all my photos - follow this link to view it.

My 4th Photo Scavenger Hunt

  

Click on the badge above to be directed to Kristi's blog to see who all has signed up!

The month of June brings a new challenge for me... and many others who will sign up.  Here is a link to everyone who has entered so far (keep checking back as people add themselves).
Kristi will be going through all the photos over the next week or so and posting her favorites for voting mid-July... stay tuned and I will direct you to that post once it's finished.  It will allow you to look at each category individually and see her favorites from each - rather than having to look through 20+ posts.

I'm not going to ask you to vote for me because I don't do this to 'win'.  I do it for myself and for the challenge!

Hope you enjoy!
