Now, for me it’s summer, but I love winter and I want make something interesting, thanks for this opportunity, I really love your blog ;)
take care
Ok, I’m going to try embedding my entry into my comment. Apologies if it doesn’t work!
My passion is photography, so my entry is, naturally, a photo. I took this one at the loch just next to my house. These two swans live here all year round, and last Tuesday the loch had partly frozen and they were standing on the ice with their reflections in the water.
Anyway, hope you like it and think it’s worthy of the prize!

Hello, this is my submission. I have done 3 Christmas inspired eyeshadow looks (one pose for each eye). I don’t know if that’s too many, if it is, I’m sorry. You can choose just one if you prefer.

Hello Doe! I am a poet. Words are my lovers. Here is a piece entitled “Winter”:
It’s winter. Bright grey skies fill my eyes and chill frost air burns in my chest. My breath is made of snow and the garden inside of me is sleeping. Flowers shrink back into pods, trees drop their fruit and shed their leaves, and vines curl up, dry up, covered in thorns. My body is protected by a shield of thorns. Nothing can hurt my fragile fruit heart, still beating and juicy from the summer…waiting for spring…
How cool. I just did a wintery look yesterday afternoon! Here is the link:

Eeep! this sounds like fun
does this have to be something created especially for this competition or can it be something we’ve made earlier? I am a fashion design student and this was my major project this semester… it’s a winter/snow themed swimsuit & cover-up! kind of appropriate I guess, since it’s actually summer here!
Ooh how fun! I love winter, especially when it begins to turn to spring, which most people find yucky but I find beautiful in a sad sort of way.
I’d like to participate, but I’m right in the middle of exams so if it’s okay to submit something you’ve already done, you can check out this poem:

I love all forms of art, but I consider myself primarily a writer (when I’m not being the overworked and brain dead student I usually am). This is more about the transition from winter to spring, but still wintery. It’s based on a Russian fairy tale, so I thought you might enjoy it. :)
I hope I can do multiple submissions!
These are some older photos I took (last year ish)

PS This is a super fun idea!

I would submit, but I’ve got finals to study for. And I haven’t really studied classical composition before…I only interpret music, and not create.
eh…mm…. i’ll try… I’m not all that good a poet, but i took this pic last year by my house and I just <3 it. Hope you like it!
If you’re wondering, I took the photo last year :)
Ugh! It didn’t post! sry! I hope it works this time:

I wrote a short story about winter a little while back that I rather liked, so I’ll take a chance at the shadows and submit it!
To save you the comment space, I put it on a google site: http://sites.google.com/site/limecrimecontest/
this does sound fun….I wonder If I’ll have the time to do something.
I’m a photographer and this is what winter looks like to me… Cold and frosty:

Oh phoocakes, I would enter, but I’m not a professional.
Can I do a colab?
Let’s seeeee I want to submit a song, but not sure how else to connect to the file other than my myspace…
I’m submitting the second song on my page, called Branch Avalanche, and is written with the bare branches of winter in mind :)

I love this blog, and this is too fun not to give it a whirl.
I hope a blog post will be acceptable? It’s just a little thing I did on the meaning of holiday spirit to me.

Hi! What a coincidence that I had done a sort of winter poem for my 8th grade talent show this year! I might as well post it, seeing as my cousin had sent me the link to check out this site!
here it is:
Icy Eyes
By Erica (that’s me!)
Not only does it call for me, and beckon sweet it does.
To touch the tip of my nose, alert me through the bone.
Whispers like my Mother’s, the crackle and the crisp-breathe in.
Slick upon my feet, I stand before it, heaven on Earth-breathe out.
Sharp and quick, consuming whole.
Hard to take it in, you’d never get me out.
Spread my arms side to side to see what this fuss is about.
A master piece in training.
Says the child in me.
And another whisper picks up speed, we’re blown all away.
From greeting the melting men, dressed with buttons, hats and scarves.
To a stinging, bubbling heat from a fragile tea cup.
Watching the blizzard lullaby me.
It will never be enough.
Oh dear… it all popped up and now I have a whack of posts!
Sorry everyone!
What a neat contest. I had to submit =]

We haven’t seen snow yet this year and I’m sad I have been dying to take pictures of the snow. S this is from last year and it was the best one I could find since all the files are on other computers.

The second I read this is was jumping up and down XD
I’ve made my sisters grab their jackets and a hat, ran to get my sister’s camera, and took a bunch of quick referance photoes.
I don’t know how I managed to get a skeatch done within half an hour! It normally takes me at least 1 hour, usually 2 to do it right!
I’m shadding it right now, I really hope I get get it done soon, I’m so excited lol.
*crosses fingers*
“Winter”
Warming blankets, fuzzy socks
Wind rustling through the eaves
Snow taps lightly against the windowpanes
With the last of the fallen leaves
Puffy jackets, woolly mittens
Heaters turned up on high
Silver rings around the moon
Stars glisten in the sky
Hot chocolate, apple cider
Christmas lights and decorations
Friends and neighbors come together
In holiday jubilation
Everything I see is white
On this beautiful winter night
Just a quick submission…I live in Florida, so this is my take on what I think winter is!
How can I get a short story to you? I feel like it’s too long to just get tossed into your comments section.
Oooh, sounds like fun. I’ll definitely be entering! :scrounges through supplies:
I only found this blogazine yesterday, and I just can’t stop looking at it! I’ve read all the posts :] I think this the makeup is amazing, and I am actually going to start a makeup course in the summer so I’m totally excited about that. I’m currently a photography student, in my final year of my degree and I specialise in fashion and styling…this is my entry http://xnebulax.deviantart.com/art/winter-dove-105850777 I took it last year as part of one of my projects, hope you like ;♥ Amy
Wow, what a great idea! Good luck, all.

Winter is something very particulous for me… every flowers, trees,… are dying to rebirth in april. It’s very exciting and “strange” because everything we can see seems to have something more than usually!! everything is quiet and cold!! The houses are covered with snow, chimneys are smoking, and all my breath takes shape in the air!!! I love it…
So i chose this photography because it make me recall a lot of memories… I was lonely at home, and it was only the second time i saw my city under the snow!!! I live in south of France and it’s very rare to see snow here! So i just wanted to immortalized this moment forever…
