The Story of The Harlequin's Spirit
When I signed up for the site fights, I had no idea of what I was doing, or how I was going to do it. I panicked when I received the notice that I would be fighting in Cavaliers Courtyard on Monday, January 10th. Who was I to assume that my first attempt pages could ever compete in something so spectacular as the fights? I wrote my team leader, DHarlequin, really trying to beg off or postpone my entry. The Lady, as she likes to be called, immediately answered my plea for help. She gave me the kind encouragement that I needed and an offer to help with graphics or HTML (my worst nightmare). She's a very busy lady, but she gave me her Time, a most precious commodity.
As for the advice she gave me, it is something that you can use in everything you do everyday. "When you create, create from the heart. Let your spirit show through in all that you create. If you enjoy what you are doing, it will show in the finished product, and others will then enjoy and appreciate your creativity."
Well, I've made it through the first round and I've learned some new things and I'm learning more and more everyday. I actually tackled the little Spirit Page vote box at the bottom of this page. This was my very first attempt at HTML, and I am sooooo pround of myself. It worked, on the very first try. Thanks Site Fights, and thank you Lady, for the encouragment and true words of wisdom. Your spirit shines for all to see. Please visit her lovely pages.
I've made some true friends and supporters here at the fights. Their spirit shows in each every email and gift. It's so nice to be remembered. They come and visit my site, sign my guestbook, and then send ME a gift. The gifts here are most precious to me, because they are from the very first friends I made at the Site Fights.
This beautiful winter scene globe was a gift from Cindy. It was my very first welcome to the site fights. Cindy also showed me how to include my information in my email signature. She is very talented and shares her graphics. She will even make you a special one if you ask her. Cindy Represents The Spirit of Sharing.
This delicate little vase is from Tania, who was a stranger and now a friend and who was the friendliest fighter I've met. She is so kind and always ready to help. Tania Represents The Spirit of Friendship.
Jesters have to get used to this sort of thing, you know. Note, Lemmy's wonderful splatt and drag technique. Now THAT'S how to splatter someone with a pie!!! Thanks to Lemmy, I've had my initiation and it tasted swell. Killed my diet ,though! I was a much better sport than Poor Ol' Bill Gates!!!

Here's A Little Story About The True Meaning Of The Word ..... Spirit.
Mary Anne and I ended up competing against one another at the Harlequin's ball. I emailed her and asked her if she wanted to dance *S* and she said sure - do you want to lead ?*G* We voted for each other everyday. She mentioned me in her vote reminders and I mentioned her in mine. It didn't matter to either one of us who won. What mattered was that we supported each other and had fun.
Mary Anne Represents the Spirit of Good Sportsmanship and Loyalty.
She Makes Beautiful Graphics and Backgrounds.
