That's about as creative as I could get. I'm so glad you enjoy the Barbour collections. It was a lot of fun writing The Lye Water Bride.

I've never tried building a sandcastle (unless I was very young and don't remember.) But then, the only time I've been to the beach was the year before last and I spent the entire time in the water, even sitting in the shallow water to be rocked back and forth with the waves while I ate my lunch. 😃 It's been a lifelong dream of mine to see the ocean! (There's the top item on my bucket list that's been checked off! Though I'm thinking of putting a second trip on my list...😉) <br /> I've seen a sand sculpture before at the state fair and it was AMAZING! It was of a castle and it's the only one I've actually seen in real life. <br /> p.s. I LOVE these Barbour collections! I collect them!<br /> Elly -Indiana-<br />jcservantslaveATicloudDOTcom Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578216403287601921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-6907146747728528622016-09-27T11:46:59.184-04:002016-09-27T11:46:59.184-04:00I will use the Random Number Generator at http://w...I will use the Random Number Generator at http://www.random.org/ to select today's winner.

I thought they'd be somber, focused, even grumpy given the stakes of the competition, but they were joking, playing and having a fun time.

That remains to be seen! So, I'd be inclined to buy the sand castle making kit, too.

I would probably buy the sand castle making kit if I lived close to an Ocean, but the river bank doesn't have enough sand to make much of anything.

I've never done more than walk along a beach and collect shells. I think that it would break my heart to watch any 'masterpiece' I made get swept away. How can people create such works of art, only to see them destroyed? Boggles the mind. Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity to win The California Gold Rush Romance Collection.
