Welcome everyone to another recap!

I got some exciting news to share with you guys, our show is now complete. After going a few weeks without a curator, we finally found someone to embrace this elite position :D. I'm happy to welcome charming @breezin to join us on the show from now on!

Also there is another update that I for some reason forgot to mention last week, we have poetic @raj808 join us on a weekly basis and share his poetry picks with everyone. Another great reason to tune in and join the discussion!

I. SteemitSandwichContest #39 - Spring Garden by @lizelle.
Absolutely stunning springtime entry for the Steemit Sandwich contest, since I took part in the contest myself I was so curious to see what others have prepared for it. I struggled a bit with my sandwich trying to make it look as springy as possible, and even went out there to pick some dandelions in the yard. But this is something else, guys, @lizelle made flower sandwiches and not only they look gorgeous, based on the ingredients list, I can tell they taste just as good. Super creative entry by @lizelle and I am beyond impressed.

Goodluck to @lizelle in the Steemit Sandwich contest that is run by @jaybird (if anyone wants to join, check out his blog for rules, prize pool etc.) I hope you get it, girl!

II. The Art of Bonsai by @astrea.
Being a bonsai trees lover myself, I couldn't just walk past this one, especially after seeing it only had $0.03 before I voted on it, I knew I had to share it with everyone.
So @astrea have been fascinated with bonsai trees for a long time, but because of the lack of knowledge she could never make them last at her home. That changed after she visited a bonsai workshop and exhibition in Venezuela that focused on pruning, tree modeling and various bonsai know-hows that she shared with us in her post. I would recommend checking it out to everyone who's curious about these tiny trees.
The other thing I enjoyed about @astrea's post is that she included several quotes in it that really made it feel very oriental in my opinion.

About:

Every week our host, myself, @lindahas, @breezin and a guest curator select 12 posts from #postpromotion to present in a live curation that typically starts at 6 PM EST in #curation-lounge channel on Whaleshares server. Anyone is welcome to come along and spectate the discussion and everyone who does tune in and sticks around until the end of the event will be awarded with complimentary assets that are distributed by the host of the show @nikflossus.
There are no obligatory rules as to what kind of content you should create to catch a curator's attention, we're different people and we like different things; some shoot for longreads they enjoy, some prefer to browse through tutorials or art projects. We are people and our choices are subjective, of course. As the platform grows it gets harder to push your work out there and get noticed. However when it comes to scoping out top quality posts, we try our very best to point out the ones that received very little to no rewards.

To learn more about the Whaleshares Curation Show on Mondays I suggest you join Whaleshares Discord, check out the blog of our host @nikflossus and our community leader @officialfuzzy.
