"LEATHER" CONTEST ~~ NO WINNERS

One of our entrants uses a photo hosting site called PhotoBucket that many of us have used over the last 15 years or so, and they just very suddenly decided that after years of free service, to host your photos on 3rd. party sites (like this blog, and Amazon and Ebay) you must now pay something like $400 per year, and unless you upgraded to that expensive service immediately, your photo links are broken (like on this blog.)

Having said that, this entrant's four photo entries in this contest were not showing up here the last few days because PhotoBucket broke the links to it. SO.... without our voters being able to view and perhaps vote on those photos it is not fair to declare any winners in this month's "Leather" theme contest.

We are all very upset by this and would like to thank our voters for having participated in this month's contest even though we cannot fairly declare any winners.

FROM HERE ON though, our contests will still be running but we just won't be using PhotoBucket as a host. It will be business as usual though, so we look forward to our next contest!

Stay tuned.... end of July the contest theme will be "Decorations".

Thank you for your understanding!
