The End

Dear Viewers,

I know that for a long time now, I have not been posting on my blog(s) much... at all really. I have been struggling a lot trying to decide what to do with my blog. Honestly, I find it very difficult to blog on Ember Island because I see no value in doing so. I know that my readers enjoy finding out more about my doings and happenings, but I find it to actually be more of a burden than to be fun. I prefer Facebook over Blogging by far, and so if you're really interested in what's up and what's going on, then Facebook is where to look. My facebook page can be found here. You need to be friends with me to view any info other than my friends, but from that page you can send me a friend request.

Ember Island will be closing. I will no longer be posting on it and it will be inactive(comments disabled, no posting, etc.). You will still be able to access this blog in case you want to look back upon any of my previous writings. I am not sure what we are going to do with 4 Homeschoolers, but I will keep Picture This, because I actually see value in it, and it is not boring at all. ;)

So friends, I do not know whether God plans for me to start another blog in the future, but if he does then I will use it to bring glory to Him and Him alone!

Tomato Counting Contest

Hello everyone! I have decided to hold a contest. How many tomatoes are in this picture? Anyone can enter, so if you'd like to, then simply look at the picture below and guess how many tomatoes are in the picture. The reward? Nothing much, I'll make an award just for you to put on your sidebar(if you'd like), but it's mostly just for fun.

If you do not have my email address then email me at tomatocontest [at] gmail [dot] com. Only one entry per person(obviously). There are the same number of tomatoes in each picture, you just need to tell me how many tomatoes are in the cups and on the counter top. I've given you multiple pictures for different angles. :)

Don't try counting the tomatoes from different angles in the different pics... I rearranged them for each picture. ;)
