whimsical :)

whimsical.
even the word is fun.....hw...immmmm...si..calllll.
yup.  it's fun. :)

whim·si·cal[hwim-zi-kuhl]

1. playfully quaint or fanciful, esp. in an appealing and amusing way.
2. acting or behaving in a capricious manner.

in thinking of this weeks challenge, there were two contributing factors...

one, most obviously, is my love of Dr. Suess.  :)
one of maddie's favorite books is green eggs and ham.  she loves it!
the simple rhymes, the strange fanciful artwork...all of it.
somehow, someway I wanted to include something having to do
with Dr. Suess in these kreatid challenges!

and two, was the generosity of this weeks sponsor

the organic bloom! 

this amazing company led by jason and andrea sooter have generously donated
the winner of kreatid challenge [whimsical]
an eight by ten lily pad green eva frame from their collection!
I've been a fan for a while and simply LOVE the quality, unique-ness and whimsical designs
that this company has offered to the photography industry...
simply PERFECT for this weeks challenge! :)

so how do you win?
submit a photograph of something that says whimsical to you.
skies the limit with this one...what is fanciful or amusing to you?
you can stage it, it can be your kids, it might be your pets, an object...anything! :)

the winner is chosen based on vote system below - so get your friends and family to vote for you!  you can submit up to three of your favorite photographs on the kreatid facebook fanpage until this wednesday, february 9th at 12pm MST.  the top three highest favorites plus one "kreatid photography & design" favorite will be blogged about and the winner will be announced by the thursday after the above deadline.
