I was extremely honored when Lilia from Vox and Six Apart contacted me requesting permission to use my Design To Inspire banners for Vox, LiveJournal, and Typepad. Honestly, upon entering my submissions I had the full intention of releasing any of my submitted banners that did not win the contest to the Vox community, so their request made me extremely happy. I'm glad the team liked my designs enough to use them. I hope all Vox, LiveJournal and Typepad users enjoy my designs, as well as any designs from the Design To Inspire contest that Six Apart may release in the future. I look forward to seeing what additional themes resulting from this contest will be released in the coming months. In the interim I'm going to enjoy switching between the various Vox themes introduced within the past month, and may even use some designed by me!
Here are my creations, thus far, for HP's current theme contest for Vox, Typepad and LiveJournal. I intend to submit additional themes/banners if more inspiration strikes.* I would appreciate if you vote for me (links provided below)! While you can vote only once per banner, you can, however, vote for more than one banner. Thank you!
I created my Vox account one year ago today. My very first Vox post was published a year ago three days from today. My very first blog entry was posted on LiveJournal in May 2006, but Vox quickly and easily became my favorite blogging service. I do not write blog entries as frequently as I would prefer, nor do I submit posts and media a fraction as often as other infamous Voxers, but I'd like to think my entries are comprised of enough substance to make up for the lack of quantity. I've skimmed through my previous blog entries and found quite a few that have a special place in my heart. I write because I enjoy writing. I blog to capture significant thoughts as memorabilia and to share a piece of my self with others, particularly with real world friends and friends I've met online. I treasure the new relationships I've made through Vox and hope these people remain lifelong friends.
Most of my favorite blog entries to date reflect on memories from my childhood and adolescence, such as my earliest memories, Christmas gift giving and the secret behind Santa. Some posts mark significant events in my life -- the aftermath of my mother's death, the most sincere compliment I received, my recent health problems and fears, and the loss of a beloved sanctuary -- while others divulge details into my personality, perspective, reasoning, and habits. I enjoy sharing my thoughts with others and even had the pleasure of a spurt of creativity and the joy of sharing my creations. I also treasure posts that inspired conversations, especially impassioned and endearing responses from other Voxers, such as my ten random facts and my rambling about complex personalities, surname selection, and past tribulations.
Vox has become an important aspect of my life and has introduced me to some great people and wonderful friends. I hope the following year and years on Vox are just as excellent as my first. CHEERS!
I stumbled across this LiveJournal entry months ago and still find myself revisiting it to view the intricate details of such a wonderful and amazing project. I truly admire her for her dedication to complete such a project. I can only imagine the amount of time, work and effort that went into planning, researching, finding and buying supplies, and constructing such an amazing miniature recreation of Bilbo and Frodo's Bag End. I have clipped only a handful of the volume of photos from Obelia medusa's post. Please visit her page for more images, and for larger versions of the following images. The backstory and in-progress photographs are also linked from her post.
