I’m so glad that most arduous task I had to complete for #gishwhes last year could bring such joy to @gish creator @misha (at NECBirmingham)

OK so to my followers wondering about GISHWHES...yes I will be posting the items I did! They will be filed under the GISHWHES and teamvampirates tag. Also, if you'd love to see the exploits of the rest of our abnosome team follow my teams blog!

Well, It might not be perfect, but oh well! This one was so down to the wire, I literally shot it and submitted it with 2 minutes to spare before GISHWHES ended. Big thank you to my Scouting Legion for helping me out!

GISHWHES IS OVER! I have some feelings about this.

I love my team

Here's our blog: Team Vampirates

Many thanks to everyone who helped me with pictures and videos and moral support and everything else. Much love.

Item 128: Write a haiku about waiting and post it in a bus stop!

The Haiku: Watching cars go by / interminable waiting / in this terminal

Featuring the lovely Margaret, and of course, kale.

So Jeff Bezos may not have purchased our GISHWHES eBook, but Team Vampirates is all about making GISHWHES keep giving. 

We've written a short children's eBook about a Wooster named Random Acts. It's available for $2 on Amazon and all profit will go directly to Random Acts! If you're looking for something cool to do for Misha's birthday but are limited in time, resources, or ideas, this can be your "present"! 

Please spread the word! Can we make this viral? We promise the story is quite cute -- and you can print it out and color it if you want. Written by Rae, illustrated by Scout, inspired by Team Vampirates and #poweredbyGISHWHES

NEW: There is now a hard copy available for $10 on Lulu!

Submissions Tip #8: No photo manipulating!

Unless an item specifically asks for manipulation of photos or videos, you are not permitted to do so. Numerous teams cheated last year by "photoshopping" in props or otherwise manipulating photos and had items disqualified. We have several graphic designers on staff who can spot an expert job as easily as a rookie one.
