Welcome to January 2012’s Top Submissions of Unframed-Nature.
FIRST-OFF
Please NOTE I will be away from dA and the internet from:
FEB. 16 - FEB. 28th My Last Day:
FEB. 15th I Return:
FEB 29thI have a trip I need to take, where things have come up, and I am visiting family who I have not seen in a very long time.
It will be “crunch-time” when I return, but I will do my best to close and open folders and get voting going. Please be patient, as it IS, and will be a difficult time for me.
Thank you for understanding.

Our Contest: [link] which has less than 2 days left...
has been updated with just a few more POINTS.
I will be trying my best to have voting organized and in progress before I leave and while I am away...
Thank you for being here whether you are a Member yet or not!
We welcome you and your support! Since the beginning of January 2012, we’ve grown by almost 200 Members!
So a really BIG welcome to all of our NEW MEMBERS!
Thank you to our loyal Members who have been submitting to our Group for a long time now. Without you, we wouldn’t be here.
We had superb voters turn-out for January 2012, and I want to thank you for the feedback on the new voting system, too!
I was not sure it would be that positive, because I did not know if my directions would be good enough to understand. I can’t believe how well it went, and I got so many great comments about the process! So much so, that I was really surprised!
So, wow, okay, good, that’s great then!
And, thank you as always, to you awesome special voters, who took the time to VOTE!
Let’s continue to submit our own BEST QUALITY work, enjoy it, improve upon it, enjoy the work of others, and Nature in general. It’s what it’s all about-
combining our art with our love of Nature, and coming together under that commonality!
Without further ado...
Please Enjoy The Voted Top Submissions of January 2012.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL SELECTED IN JANUARY![

FEATURED- “The Group’s Donors Folder” 
Our Group’s MEMBERS of THE MONTH These fantastic Members each help and support our Group in their own wonderful, encouraging variety of ways, and we thank them for being such a great part of this Group here!
Our Group’s Recent Donors of POINTS 
Promotions to MODERATORS These two Contributors were
very recently promoted to MODERATORS of this Group. For now, they will simply keep a closer eye on the gallery folders for any work that has been misplaced into incorrect folders, and moving them. They can also help, by keeping a closer eye on any extra important Group Notes, should they arise, as far as Noting the Founder.
However, in many cases, when the Co-Founders see them, they would likely be able to help you- simply I would like to know what is going on, plus it may be something I may end up needing to see.
[
Co-Founders can do ANY of what the Moderators are doing, if need be, and they continue to provide assistance to them, as needed.]
Group Reminders We are an ALL-Media Group, but NOT all Subjects. MUST be ALL Nature-Related. Read more inside the LINK provided just below.
DO submit your BEST QUALITY work, we aren’t an elitist group, but we do want your best quality, please!
DO NOT Submit to the Featured Folder, as Currently it is being used for Group Donors.
DO Submit Birds, Etc. to the folder labeled WITH Birds, Etc., even though most birds are considered “Wild”...
We are MORE strict in 2012, than in 2011, with Architecture and will NOT be allowing in nearly as much... We have certain restrictions with humans, bridges,
BOATS, etc., as well.

thanks a lot 
`ChewedKandi has certainly gone out of her way to keep the vector community on the right path. Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader. We're absolutely delighted to bestow the Deviousness Award for June 2013 to `ChewedKandi. Congratulations, Sharon! Read More
