July Art Contest
One of the many benefits of summer break is the time to relax and do things we don’t normally have the time to do.
I love lazy summer days by the pool, watching movies, reading books from the library, and stopping by the corner store to get my soda fix of Code Red Mountain Dew or Cherry Coke!
Or driving in your car with the windows rolled down and rockin’ out to your favorite tunes on the radio? Me too!
Ahhh, the good ol’ summer days!
As a grown up (I’m 37 now so I guess it’s about time I admitted it) and with the responsibilities of motherhood, most of the “lazy summer days” has become a thing of the past. Now it’s filled with “what can I do to keep the boys busy and engaged in a good cause” kind of days and while that can be rewarding its anything but lazy and honestly quite tiring. But despite your duties in the summer time whether it’s dragging your heels to summer school or going to a summer job, being a parent or pulling weeds in the hot heat of the day (thanks mom 
), or your one of the lucky ones that sleeps in and chills on the couch in your pajamas while watching hours of uninterrupted television, this month’s contest is something ALL of us can do!
That’s right, it’s time to stretch your creative skills, develop your talents and explore your artistic side!
For this month, we’d like to put YOU to the challenge and invite you to participate in
July’s Summer ART Contest!
The theme for this contest is TIGERS PROMISE, the prequel to TIGERS CURSE.
You can really get creative with this one. In the past we’ve seen some amazing drawings, paintings, sketches, sculptures, stuffed animals and the like. Really it can be anything you consider to be art! If you need some creative fuel, check out Colleen Houck’s Pinterest board TIGERS PROMISE or read (or reread) the novella TIGERS PROMISE.
Here’s the scoop on how this will work,
Contest runs through end of July and closes on July 31st.
