Lightning Round: MONKEYS (May 26-May 31, 2011)

Our LIGHTNING ROUND: MONKEYS proved that artists can have fun monkeying around! 🙂 Here’s the master list of posts – please share on your blogs, I’ll be contacting participants individually with the info you need – and if you would kindly visit and comment, that would be super fantastic! Thanks for going bananas on the theme. So who won the drawing? Doreen Erhardt of Salon of Art! Yay! 20 free card credits are headed her way. You could win next time, but only if you enter our next contest – all the details are coming at you on Monday!
