Hello, and welcome to Divine Inspiration, my personal portfolio / blog.

        I want to thank God, the reason for this site's name, for the inspiration for
    every artistic expression of which I am capable, and for making me the way I
  am. I couldn't do this without Him! Okee, well take a look around,enjoy, have
  fun, leave feedback, if you like, drink your milk and tip your waitresses!

  God Bless!

So much to say, so little time.

BACK!
Hey, guys! I'm back, AND alive! Which- pretty much nobody but Ivy, Kate and Tinnie knew, and I am so sorry about that! Okay, long-story-short, I went to Illinois for 10 days, had an- oh my word -incredible time. I saw my friends Lindsay, Ainsley, Melissa, Rita, Cassie, Erica, Mary-Beth, (and Emily, Alisha and Cocoa *squeeze*) in Carbondale, then we went to Kingston (which is just outside of Chicago) and I saw my cousins, JJ, Joey, Josh, Courtney (*squeeze*) Catherine, Emma (*love*), Joni, Anthony, Frances (*squeee!*) and John-Paul. And you know what I realized? I really like spending time with people. I got to know my cousins more that week than I did for the last twenty visits we made there. I had more fun than I've had in a long time, sitting with my Carbondale friends at the Golden Corral that last evening.

So, basically, I got home and my computer didn't look as interesting as I remembered it looking. I missed you all, I mean- it's hard to call online aquantences "friends" per-say, but that is essentially how I have treated you, and for that, I consider you friends. :) But still, nothing can replace the people around you, and this include my family, who I have on occassion shunned in favor of updating my sites. And mates, it's not right. I'm sure you can see that as well as I.

Well, Divine is not closing, that's not what I'm getting at. ;) But I've decided to turn this site into a Blog. (Hence the new layout, likee?) I like the idea of being to stay caught-up with you all, and I'll add art/poetry/icons when I have them (like Magnus does) but mostly I just want to be able to come on when I have the time, tell you how/what I'm doing, and then get off and spend some time with my family. :)

I'm sorry if this sounds depressing to any of you. Honestly, it makes me more relieved and excited than I can say! No worries, Divine is still online, Lord willing. :) Oh! And I have an announcement (allbeit, a slightly late one) :

FANLISTING!
Did I ever tell you I love Tinnie? I love Tinnie. She's amazing, she's incredible. And you want to know what Tinnie did recently? She made me a fanlisting!! Yes-sir-ee-bob, I, Chloe, have a fanlisting. "Blessed", it is called, and dear Tin could not have come up with a better title. I have been so blessed; by God, by my friends and family, and yes definately, by you. My online-mates. Thank you, Tinnie (this beeing one of the moments where "thank you" doesn't seem to cover it). I'm honored. *squeee!* ;) So yeah, if you're a fan of me *blush* or the site, please feel free to join!

OH! And go visit Tinnie's site, because she has a smashing new layout and new challenges coming up! So go join!

CHALLENGE
I FINALLY judged the colorize challenge! Congradulations, Gimli, Sal and Rebecca! As always, it was tough to judge. 0_0 Y'all need to stop being so gosh-darned talented, dang-it-all. :P Anywho, here are the winners. My appologies if the awards stink, they aren't my best, but I'm a bit rusty on the old PS right now, so they'll improve. ;)

I'm afraid I'm not ready to open any new challenges yet. The Layout challenge is still up, and we have some new entries for that, but I'm having email issues, and can't get them up this update. I am SO sorry, mates! :( You're so patient, and I thank you for that, but I really need to get those entries online. Thanks for understanding. :)

AWARD FROM TIN!
I also won a gorgeous new "Third Place" award from Tinnie, but I can't remember which challenge it was for! LOL! I'll add it when I clear that up with her. :D

PLUGGAGE
Ragnhild | Hannah | Arien-Elensar (*thank you!*) | Ivana (*xoxo*) | Janna | Sara (*squeeze*) | Kate (*miss you!*) | Shelle | Aly | and Nadia (*LOL! Yes, same hole!*) !!!

Man, do I ever want to find a way to reply to everyone who comments. I LOVE hearing from you all! Maybe I could start posting on the Comments box just once to everyone or something.

MORE VACATION
I'm going to the beach Sunday, so I won't be able to post till we get back from that. (aaah, summer! ;) I'll be sure to come on and read any comments until then, but I won't have internet till I get back. I'll talk to you guys later!
