I can't believe it's been over a month since I updated this journal!

These past weeks have been both busy and hectic for me, so sorry about the wait.
Okay, catching up on stuff:
1. Re our last contest: congratulations again to all who participated! Yet another contest, suggested by the winner

, will be in the works this summer. I'm still catching up from the last few contests, so I'd rather not plunge into another one quite so soon.
But keep your eyes peeled for any announcements!
2. I
still owe some prize art to several people from these two latest contests, plus I still have to mail some prize items from the first one. I sincerely apologize for the wait on all that, since real-life (not to mention my health) often gets in the way. There are some of you who are to get some prize arts from our
Ludwig and Matilda contest, but I've had no requests yet. If you're in no hurry, it's cool---SERIOUSLY.

3. I promise that sometime in the future I
will update the Gallery for this place. Several arts submitted for the Von Drake Society ID contest were slated to be in the Gallery, but so far haven't all made it yet. I do apologize, and I thank you for your patience.

4. Speaking of the gallery: yet another reminder to PLEASE fave items
at the original artist's page!!! It's plainly requested on the comments below the deviation (with some exceptions), so there's simply no excuse for not doing this. It's a good idea to get in the habit of reading the artist's comments, not just look at the pretty pictures. Unless it's someone I happen to be friendly with, I may simply delete the deviation without warning and re-submit it. Anyone can make an oversight; but if you're just too lazy to read the comments, shame on you.
5. I'm seriously considering getting a co-administrator, possibly two, for this place. I'm still kicking that idea around, though, so
I'll get back to you later about that.
6. If you'd like to submit a deviation for the club, (read this first
[link] ), please note the Administrator here at

or at her original

page. Also, if you submitted something and don't see your deviation in our Gallery, please let me know and I'll take care of that as soon as I'm able.

And that's the news for now...Happy Memorial Day weekend!
