2007-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: *haunt*

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: Yay :D *hump*

2007-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: <3 I have to find a tree >.> <.< I have a poisonous tree in my garden x)

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: Omg :o Poisonous?

2007-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: Yeaaah :D It's a Japanese tree I think...It's called Acer.

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: Uh. According to Wikipedia, Acer is a genus. :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_(genus)

2007-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: wikipedia obviously doesn't know everything :( http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk/seeds/pages/bonsai_acer.htm XD

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: It does! That page lists different maples. Maples are Acers. :P
Yeah... okay... so you can call them Acers or maples. Confusing. Now I get it! *enlightenment*

2007-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: Erm. LOL.

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: Am being just a tiny bit slow xP

2007-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: *pet* It's okay Lami xP

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: *giggle* I blame the weather these past few days, it has fried my brain :P

2007-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: I want your weather :(

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: if it was up to me, it'd be all yours. <_<

2007-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

2007-08-17 [queen mini egg]: o.O a tree contest???
MUST...FIND...TREE!!!

2007-08-17 [Mirime]: Oooh, shiny!

2007-08-17 [Blasphemy]: Hello Kay, it has been a long time, and I put a picture of a small tree in my backyard up, we planted it a few years ago when my grandfather on my mom's side passed away

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: ...oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. :P

2007-08-17 [Blasphemy]: huh, it is gone!

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: Yeah, I took it off, because you reminded me of a rule I initially forgot to write down... Entries have to be uploaded on here. :3

2007-08-17 [Blasphemy]: lol, that was depressing lol, I was out of the contest really quick

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: You can upload it on ET and put it up again. Nothing stopping you. ;)

2007-08-17 [Blasphemy]: how do you upload to ET, by the way? some other people may need to know to lol

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: There, that should do the trick :P

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: Oooh, hello Yuri :3

2007-08-17 [Yuriona]: Hiya! :)

2007-08-18 [Melocrie]: It is I! xD

2007-08-18 [Linderel]: Whoot!

2007-08-18 [Melocrie]: I like trees, so I like this contest ^^
Though, I'd have to go sleep now.. have fun, Lin! Btw, nice pirate costume ;)

2007-08-18 [Zab]: ooh, fun and new :P I'll draw a tree soon. :D

2007-08-18 [Linderel]: Well this is starting off well :D

2007-08-20 [dayah]: hmmm...will have to fine a friendsly tree to pose for me..hehe

2007-08-22 [Linderel]: Gyahh! [CillaCat], that picture is huge when clicked for full size. Any chance you could resize it?

2007-08-22 [CillaCat]: Yeah I'll go resize it, it's abit too huge.

2007-08-22 [Linderel]: Thanks.

2007-08-22 [Melocrie]: Wow, those Banyan trees are awesome!

2007-08-23 [Zab]: there, I entered:D
(my drawing doesn't look good among the photos..x)

2007-08-23 [Linderel]: Pft, looks just fine! And it's a bit of a change ;)
I'm still hoping to see someone actually bake a tree...

2007-08-23 [Zab]: XD I had it in thought..XD but I can only bake pie..

2007-08-24 [Simply_Jen]: Thanks, Melocrie. I love them.
Zab, I really like the drawing.

2007-08-24 [Linderel]: Ooooo Jitter! Crafted trees! I love you :D

2007-08-24 [Jitter]: ^___^ I made those about two years ago :D I have used around 20 metres of wire x)

2007-08-24 [Linderel]: Wow :P

2007-08-24 [Jitter]: I have another tree painted on my wall but I currently hate it so I won't enter that one xD Or this one <URL:stuff/jittergarden.jpg> I wish I had takn the picture without me inside it and that I had it in better quality too (I'm 16 in that pic xD) ;_;

2007-08-24 [Linderel]: Whoa. Hello, web!

2007-08-24 [Jitter]: Huge eh? xD

2007-08-24 [sequeena_rae]: You haven't aged Jitter! :o
And omg big tree of doom

2007-08-24 [Jitter]: Haha yeah I look exactly the same since I was 15 xD only wider xD enormous tree of doom. Weirdest thing is that it is in the centre of a concrete town xD

2007-08-24 [sequeena_rae]: Omg that's mad xD

2007-08-24 [Zab]: Coool wire ones!

2007-08-24 [Jitter]: Thanks:]

2007-08-27 [Linderel]: Wow :O

2007-08-27 [Jitter]: there's a tutorial link too *sniggers*

2007-08-27 [Zab]: I wondered when you'd join, Cia:P

2007-08-28 [Cia_mar]: hahahah

just not had a lot of online time

2007-08-28 [Jitter]: Very nice Cia!
<Limg0*50:stuff/Fayllin.jpg>I found another old one of mine

2007-08-28 [Cia_mar]: lol

2007-08-28 [Jitter]: <URL:stuff/jittereditcia%27s-hobbit-hole.jpg> *giggles* Hobbit hole eh? xD Inspirational :) Click it xD

2007-08-28 [Cia_mar]: how funny! i love it!
maybe we should do a colab sometime! lol
when i get settled back at home!

2007-08-28 [Jitter]: Yeah why not :) It might get me to become more motivated again like I once was :) Now I do an artpiece/month and I don't even spent the whole month on it :/

2007-08-28 [Cia_mar]: i know the feeling
i am not inspired much here right now
but once i get back home i will be able to do more
talk to you later
and hope that you and yours stay saft over there!

2007-08-28 [Jitter]: We're safe from the fire. But a small earthquake just happened here and I'm alone *scared*

Sounds like the end of the world O_O

2007-08-28 [Linderel]: It has just occurred to me that if this pace keeps up, the contest is going to be overflowing with entries long before the deadline rolls around. xD
Not that I really mind.

2007-08-28 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: the more the merrier! though i think we need a second page for entries already.

2007-08-28 [Linderel]: I'm considering that, yeah. I'll make another page when we hit 30.

2007-08-28 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: I'd do it, but i always feel awkward making modifications to other people's wikis. i have another piece i'd like to enter,but i have neither scanner or digital camera right now. I'll have to bug my slave to hook up one or both when he gets home today.

2007-08-28 [Linderel]: I would go ballistic if someone touched a wiki of mine that was either personal or a contest I'm hosting. :P

2007-08-28 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: yeah, hence why i didn't divide it into pages. i feel like I'm infringing enough just by posting my entry.

2007-08-28 [Linderel]: Hehe.

2007-08-28 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: like it's not mine, if i tough it, something bad might happen...

2007-08-28 [Melocrie]: Lin, is it okay if I replace 1 (or 2...) of my entries?

2007-08-28 [Cia_mar]: well Jitters i doubt that it is the end of the world as we know it, but i understand your concern being alone at a time like this
stay safe!
huggles

2007-08-28 [Linderel]: [Melocrie]: Sure, as long as you still only have three all is well. :3

2007-08-29 [Simply_Jen]: Jitters, keep safe. I was alone when we had a small earthquake last year and I had a hard time not freaking out. I'm glad you are safe from the fires.

2007-08-29 [Jitter]: Thanks :)

Rainbow, the colour version is just love! <3

About the earthquake, turned out to be 4,8 richter on the island right opposite this town so it's natural we shook a bit. [Rochala] was trying to convince me I imagined it but then I saw it on the news and I was like "HA!". They said there's no reason to be worrying about it since it wasn't quite big. I can safely assume that if it hadn't been for the fires though people would be freaking out over it... *sigh* :P

2007-08-29 [Cia_mar]: well a 4.8 is not that big... i used to live in california and most people did not blink over something unless it was at least 6.0....lol

2007-08-29 [Linderel]: It's all very relative. In Finland, there are no earthquakes, so if I went somewhere and experienced even small tremors by your scale, I'd be "o___O omgwtfbbq"
It's a question of what you're used to.

2007-08-29 [Jitter]: hehe, I can't help thinking it would be breaking news xD

2007-08-29 [Cia_mar]: too true

2007-08-29 [Apus]: YAY APPLE TREE!!! ^_^"

2007-08-29 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: *knock on wood* (guess i'm in the right place for that, surrounded by trees) never been through an earthquake, thankfully, i do not live in a place prone to them, so yeah, i would have freaked at even the tiniest tremor myself.

2007-09-07 [Linderel]: Hmmm. The flow of entries has come to a stop :o

2007-09-07 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: seems like. we got a more than a month till the deadline too.

2007-09-07 [Linderel]: More advertising is in order, perhaps.

2007-09-07 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: seems like.

2007-09-07 [Raven_wolf]: I've a second entry, it needs a little croping and such before I can enter it

2007-09-09 [Cia_mar]: well we can all post in our diaries! and link the contest there for publicity!

2007-09-09 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: publicity is nice.

2007-09-10 [Linderel]: Yay, we hit the 30 mark! Made another page now. :3

2007-09-10 [~Lady Morgana~]: Awesome :D

2007-10-08 [Janouk]: Nice contest!!

2007-10-08 [Linderel]: Thanks. ^_^

2007-10-14 [Falx]: I have a photomanipulation of a tree from my back yard that I turned into a picture of Gaea. However, it no longer even closely resembles the original tree it was made from. Would it be acceptable here, or would you like to see it first before I post it up?

2007-10-14 [Linderel]: Well, if you're not sure, it's better to show it to me first I think. :)

2007-10-16 [Linderel]: Closed! :3
I'll set up the poll this week.

2007-10-16 [~Lady Morgana~]: Yay ^^

2007-10-16 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: i can't wait.

2007-10-21 [Linderel]: Poll open!
Let your friends know by advertising it in your moods, diaries, etc. so that we'll get 100 votes as soon as possible. Please remember, however, that you're not allowed to ask people to vote for your entry.

2007-10-21 [Melocrie]: hmm [Remos Page] is going for an obvious lead here :P

2007-10-21 [Linderel]: Things may still change ;3

2007-10-22 [Remos Page]: thank you

2007-11-06 [Cia_mar]: how long is the voting on for?

2007-11-06 [Linderel]: Let's say the end of this week, unless we somehow get a total of 100 voters before that.

2007-11-06 [Cia_mar]: ok....<img:stuff/dand-gif.gif>

2007-11-12 [Linderel]: Due to the hardware update, most of the images are currently not showing. Thus the announcement of the winners is delayed a bit more. :3

2007-11-12 [Cia_mar]: lol no prob there... i am the queen of patience lately! lol

2007-11-15 [Linderel]: There we go. Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone for participating! ^_^

2007-11-15 [Simply_Jen]: Congrats to the winners!

2007-11-15 [Cia_mar]: yes congrats indeed! good job to everyone!!!!

2008-08-28 [Cyrano meets Merso]: aaaaaaaaah Im late for every single one!

2008-08-28 [Jitter]: Way too late for this one.

2008-08-28 [Cyrano meets Merso]: yup...Im just frustrated(well not frustrated, but not to happy::)), since I had nice pics for every contest::)
