administrative notes

A few things!

-a week or two ago I turned that completely obnoxious Captcha requirement off so you can now leave comments without needing to decipher what the devil that thing actually says! On an aside, Lucy <3's comments.

-I wanted to re-vamp the blog with a bit of a springtime look, so though you may feel like you've walked into a candy store, don't feel you need to grab a bottle of insulin to battle all that sugar quite yet because it's just Lucy's blog.

-I will be changing the header (because honestly, pink stripes and winter photos together is kind of weird) as soon as I can get some nice springtime photos. We're planning a trip to the beach next weekend if the weather is nice and if I can sweet-talk Kenny into taking some photos for us, I think that will work out perfectly!

-I am mulling over the idea of a contest in the near future just for the hell of it and am looking for suggestions on what the prize should be. A print of a photo I've taken? A small graphite portrait of the winner's horse (or another animal if they don't have a horse) - see here for an example - ? Some horsey goodies? A t-shirt from the upcoming RISPCA ride that I designed the artwork for? A token from Rolex? I am open to suggestions!

And now, an adorable photo from yesterday's ride that my friend sent me last night of Miss Happyface (and I will never get tired of seeing a pleasant expression on his horse!):

  1. I vote for a graphite drawing, even though I'll never in a million years win, lol.

    Yes, I still say she's really just...well, lovely! when she's relaxed and happy. I am so glad the ulcer stuff is working for her (and you!)! She really looks like a different horse even after a couple of weeks.

  2. A t-shirt would be awesome... or a mug with one of your prints or drawings on it! I can never have enough mugs :-P I'm doing a giveaway soon too :)

  5. Cool- thanks for the feedback so far. So maybe what I could do since there seems to be a variety of "top picks" is to have a 1st and 2nd prize, or something of the sort, and the winner can pick his or her prize before the second-place person.

    Now I just have to think of what this contest is actually going to be!

  6. I think the graphite pic would be awesome! And I love the new look! I am looking forward to the contest :) I love the new design. I have been trying to figure out how to do somethings on the blog myself - it frustrates the hell outta me :o)

  8. I think a t-shirt would be great. When I saw your design that you posted for RISPCA, I was trying to figure out how I could register for it and pay for it, even though I won't be there and live in NC. I just wanted that shirt! lol

    Lucy looks soo good and stretchy. I love to see her happy pictures.

  11. Hi Laura, if you (or anyone else) are interested in getting a t-shirt even though you won't be at the ride, you can! They are $10 each and all the proceeds will go to the Rhode Island SPCA. Email Denise at rivestadog@aol.com and she will hook you up - just tell her I sent you! :)
