[giZZy]

Very cool theme! A good reason to "step out of the box" :D

[renaissancelove]

I am ready for this one! I have one idea in mind!

[Joane]

Similar here!!!
Is anyone else pleading for a deadline extension? A couple of weeks maybe?
BeautifulDisaster and Carla would that help you, too?

It'd be cool to choose from more entries I think :)

[Joane]

My grandma is going through a surgery let's see if I can join or not.

oh that's really sad. I hope she's fine and that you'll get a chance to join!

[Zindy]

I will extend the deadline for all of you. I have gotten quite a few emails about it actually so will give you all a few more weeks, or how about a month? New deadline is July 1st.
Looking forward to see what you come up with :)

[Zindy]

Lots of new entries added to page 1.

[Esthi]

and very beautiful entries! I really like the one of Venetia Ellis, 'cause I used almost the same pose in my drawing^^

[Joane]

extension yeeeees :D
a month would be great =)

[Esthi]

just sent in my entry :)
today, a meeting was cancelled, so I took the time to finish my drawing!! :D

[Carla Michael]

oh that's really sad. I hope she's fine and that you'll get a chance to join!

Hey Joane thanks so much & yes, grandma is doing better now :)
sorry about not replying earlier, I'm busy with facebooke & with my own life & all. If anybody wants me to add him/her, I'll be glad to do so as I'm adding artists only ;)
Thanks for Zindy for the extending the deadline too.

[fries]

Woohoo extended deadline... I was sad when I missed it, was moving, now Im happy!

[BeautifulDisaster]

OMG ! I haven't been on here in a while so I didn't realize this was extended! Yess! I might be able to get one entry in now! xD <3

[Carla Michael]

Hey,
is it too late? I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything so far, so busy & all & I was afraid that I won't do something good as I'm not in the mood lately. If it isn't too late, I may try this morning to do something with water colors, easier & won't get too much time.

[Zindy]

New entries will be added tomorrow. If you are just about to have yours ready just send them in and I will get them up this week.

[Carla Michael]

New entries will be added tomorrow. If you are just about to have yours ready just send them in and I will get them up this week.

Maybe next time, I can't get myself to do something good actually & the time is actually up :(
good luck anyway to whomever are going to win, wish you all good luck

[Zindy]

Hope I got them all up, if anyone is missing email me and I will add it.

[Joane]

Helllo :) I'm excited to start a dawing for the new contest and thus I was wondering when we'll decide on this one? Will there be a vote soon, Zindy? :*

[Zindy]

If you all PM me with your favourite in each category I will put it together and announce the winners soon. Sorry for the delay, kind of been a lot lately.
Thanks for reminding me!:)
I will go art supply shopping soon for some more erasers, they have been sold out for a while not - probably because of me.

[Strawberry6263]

Wow this was an amazing contest!

[toriamason]

Were winners ever announced for this?

[blackrose89]

Were winners ever announced for this?

Unfortunately, this place hasn't been very active :( not like it used to be

[toriamason]

I didn't know if it was that Zindy forgot about it or if I just happened to miss some announcement or something. lol

[Zindy]

I only found 2 messages with the votes for this contest. Either everyone casts their votes or I just pick the winners.
I know, personally I haven't been around at all, a lot of things are happening in my life and I admit I am neglecting this forum badly.
I have thought about closing it for a while now but I can see there is still a few who seem to enjoy coming here. I am currently undecided about it.
The activity has dropped drastically this year, I think many are using Facebook now.
I have been trying my best to get a new forum up, a better and updated one that will make things easier and maybe even fun but unfortunately as I am dependent on others to help me with it, it is yet to happen.

[toriamason]

That's understandable! I wouldn't know who even qualifies for most of the sections so I wouldn't be able to vote. :/ Might be best if you just picked someone if there's only been 2. I think the forum is great, maybe you can advertise it on Facebook so that people there will come here too. :)

[giZZy]

Yeah, would probably be a good idea to advertise it more on facebook. These types of contests are better held on forums because of the organization is better, but since everyone is migrating to FB, it would be a good idea to post reminders of these there so people don't forget.

Facebook is killing forums and it is kind of sad :(

[Zindy]

I'll pick the winners and post them soon, so we can have the contest finished.
I think you are right Gizzy, should probably be more active with mentioning the forum if we keep it, I guess since I haven't been very active myself I've just forgotten it.
I do like the forum atmosphere a lot, just find it hard with the time for everything.
Facebook is taking over so many things, which is indeed sad.

[giZZy]

Oh I understand totally about finding time for everything... I find myself forgetting quite often also. Having those little reminders might keep us all interested more often :D I love it here and I have learned a whole lot. But I always forget :(

Yes Zindy it is sad. I too have neglected this forum.. I find its getting harder these days as I don't have internet at my apartment and work 2 jobs. I think peopels lives are just getting so busy. And thats a good idea, advertising stuff on fb for the forum. Might spark some more interest. :)

[Zindy]

Hi guys, I posted the winners some time back on page one. Please write with your info and what you won and I will get it shipped off :)
Hope you are all doing well :)

[impatientangel]

Awesome! Congrats everyone and thanks so much Zindy. I sent ya a PM just a little bit ago. hugs Jenny
