POINTS

We have begun to kindly ask for POINTS again for our group, because after our recent BIG Contest, we will need to build back up, A LOT, to help especially with the BIG ITEMS coming up for the REST OF 2012:

Our annual Autumn Contest.
SuperGroup renewal in December.
We don't want to be rushed at the END of the year, when it's time to renew for SuperGroup.
Plus, we do hold Monthly Themes, most [not all] months, and they are treated as Mini-Contest, with a small amount of Points, from the Group.

The Widget is HERE:

Unframed-Nature's Points Pool by Unframed-Nature

Any and ALL Donations would be HIGHLY appreciated... and you will read how you will be recognized and rewarded for your kind generosity!

Please NOTE: Since I'm not always on dA, I may NOT see your donation right away, so I can't place your name inside the Donors' Folder right away... but I will do it as soon as I am physically able. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Also, don't forget to STATE in the MEMO, if it is for the Group: Unframed-Nature
so that I can account for the points properly.
