In case you forgot, we were running a fun contest of sorts with this meme from July 20 – December 28, 2008. Read more here.
During the coming week, I’ll be finding out exactly who won those prizes. On January 11th, I’ll announce the winners!
In the meantime, I want you to know that we’re starting over for 2009, and this (today’s post) will be the first time you can participate for a chance at the prizes given at the beginning of 2010! I’ll have more details about prizes and rules, etc, posted soon. Feel free to ask me any questions. Contact info is available via my “contact me” link.

Woohoo!
I’m first!! That’s a first!!
It always amazes me how creative you are and what a great eye you have!! I mean, really, a tree with nipples? But you’re right!
That reflecting CD is a great idea!! It makes me want to grab one and try this. At seven thirty in the morning!! I did not even have coffee!
Braden looks so grown up in that picture, my oh my, where is the toddler gone to all of a sudden? He’s a BOY now!!
Have a great week, Lotus!!

I love the sticker shot. My kids never share their stickers
#3 by Colleen - Mommy Always Wins on January 4, 2009 - 1:49 AM
Hubs & I laughed at your nipples…uh, I mean the tree’s nipples. Love the boy in the swing – just makes your heart happy!
#4 by JustMiss on January 4, 2009 - 1:49 AM
I love his muddy shoes!! So I’m going to do Weekly Winners for tomorrow. Can I add my link now?
Wait, I cant ask that here can I? SHIT. I messed up. Sorry.
#5 by maggiesmind on January 4, 2009 - 1:52 AM
Gorgeous, gorgeous shots, as always, and fun captions, too.
I posted every single Sunday of 2008 (and from back when you started this in late 2007). Except that *one* Sunday in early December when I was mid-four-day-road-trip for the move to Tulsa. Do I still count? Either way, Sunday remains my favorite day of the bloggy week because of what you’ve started here. Thank you for continuing to host this awesomeness. 
#6 by Veronica on January 4, 2009 - 1:54 AM

Love Braden on the swing.

First, I want to thank you for hosting this carnival (I have not thanked you for a while).
Second, I love that Love, Toddler Style!
Third, instead of nipple, I thought the tree has the man’s organ, small but … maybe from a dwarf? OK, I am just being naughty…

Big hugs, Lotus – 2008 was a bit rough on you, but I can see by these gorgeous pictures and captions that you are getting your mojo back. Braden…swing…num num num…wrap him up and send him over! How growwn-up do our boys look now they’ve had their hair-cuts?! xxx
