Don't forget to vote in our current poll, we have serious ties and really need as many votes as possible.  If you haven't voted yet,  please take a moment and VOTE HERE for up to FIVE icons - and also for THREE Best Text Icons.  Thanks! 

I'm sorry I'm so late getting this up, hopefully I've done it all okay, it's been a difficult morning. Thank you to everyone who entered, we have a total of 28 beautiful icons this week. I've split the voting into two categories, one for our regular icons with lyrics, and the other for Best Text Icon, so please be sure to vote for both. Vote for 5 of your favorite icons, and 3 for Best Text Icon. New challenge soon from olde_fashioned.

Good luck!

I'm really sorry for posting this so late, it has been a crazy day around here today. Because I'm posting late I'm going to extend the deadline for entries until 10 a.m. tomorrow - I probably wouldn't be able to get around to posting the poll until then anyway.    We currently have 29 beautiful entries, but there is always room for more.  Please submit them here.  Thanks!

Entries for the Don Juan text challenge are due next Friday, June 12th at midnight EST. We currently have 12 entries, but there's always room for many more. You still have a week to get those great entries in!

And remember, at least ONE icon in your entries has to be text only, NO IMAGES (textures are fine)!

( Banners! )

A big thank you to everyone who entered, you all did such beautiful work on these sets it made the voting very difficult. Results are under the cut, congratulations to all the winners! Because of incorrect voting by a few, some votes had to be discounted. Banners soon.

New Co-Mod! greeneyedmissy will be cutting back on her duties as co-mod and will be working on an as needed basis; however, she will still be making those beautiful banners for us. :D Thank you, Melissa, for all you've done for poto_stillness, you have been a huge help to me and I'm very grateful.

In her place, olde_fashioned has very graciously agreed to help me with the regular duties of running the community and I am looking forward to working with her. Let's give her a great big welcome! :-)
