Lemon;
i'm glad you could get it working! i added the instructions to the first post if anyone else needs them :3
...that first post is getting long LOL

Watery Star;
whoops sorry for not clarifying, contests end 11:59PM pacific standard time for that day, and contests start 12:00AM
if you need help with pacific standard time click here

if you think you're gonna be gone or unable to post on a certain day you can also enter contests early (which is why i put the list up :3)

also thank-you for your entry! she's cute :3 and the colors look good all matching and coordinated~

@everyone
also thanks to galled for donating to the prize pool :3

aaaand everyone can vote now for yesterdays entries, check out the first post to decide! (you can just post in the forum something like, "i'm voting for entry #!")

it's funny, all the entries ended up using fall leaves, so i guess the theme was 'fall' haha
i'm gonna vote for entry three cause she looks like a cute sage gathering ingredients in the woods

[Maro]

I'm voting for entry number one, I really like how it all comes together o3o

I'm tempted to enter some of these but I'm not sure which ones yet.

[Watery Star]

I'm voting for entry #2.
It was hard to choose between the three.

Ciel: I figured it ended at midnight but thanks for clarifying. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (>^.^)> [*****]

[Ryvvi]

I vote for Entry 1

for the birthday theme!

[+] SPOILER

Also for non australians, Fairy bread (in my mouth) is ALWAYS a birthday food. ALWAYS. or else
