Aw I don't have those either :c I have lots of random bouquet flowers atm, but the only complete bouquet they can do is the Sunshine Menagerie. ah and yes I only really wanted to make the pink rose/orchid one ><

I'll list the flowers I have anyways, just in case someone might be looking for any of them: edit: all gone c:

Looks like you can do a few of the menagerie ones, actually... All of them but the blue one... Those are the ones I'm closest to finishing so far, too. :P I haven't managed to get more than halfway done with any of the other ones, though. :/ Actually, most of the bouquets are still selling for an awful lot. You could probably put those together, throw them in your shop, and make some good money. :O

Man, it's been quiet lately! What's going on for everyone?

I'm currently about 25 pages from finished translating the fourth book, and then I have LOADS of editing to do...

And oh goodness, what was I thinking with this contest? There are SOOOOO many beautiful entries, and it is so hard to judge!!! I copied and pasted all of the pictures in two separate word documents (one for the categories, and one for the grand prize), and I'm slowly whittling them down, deleting the ones that I don't like as much, or that I don't feel sum up the category, and in the grand prize, just whittling out the ones I like less, but it is SOOOOO hard.

I've gotten it down to 34 costumes in the running for grand prize, 11 for Bright Glittering Light, 14 for Fire and Ice, 15 for the Parisian, and 14 for Sweeter Than Honey... But man oh man oh man.... I'm going to do some translating, then try to whittle it down farther...

I can't believe there were so many entries! 20 to 25 per category, and 93 total entries!!

And shockingly, I'm already getting votes! How did anyone manage to pick their favorites that fast?

haha I'm currently in my hometown so been busy spending time with relatives :):)

Right-ee-oo... And I bet you're enjoying some amazing traditional food! What food were you most looking forward to eating when you got home? Stuff that you miss when you're stateside (or wherever you're living these days...) :O

in China!! :D I remember fully immersed into a type of fish.... don't know the English name for it lol, I don't like fish in general but not that fish! They don't have that fish in Canada. There are generally more tasty foods back here lol so I enjoyed eating every food :D

Yeah, there are so many foods I'm going to be thrilled to eat when I go back stateside this summer... I think that's the hardest part of living somewhere that is so different from where you're from... Missing food...

Mexican food in Europe is shockingly tragic. :O And midwestern steaks are much better than swiss ones, and sooooo much cheaper! And blue cheese dressing... I miss blue cheese dressing! I really need to find a recipe to make that myself. :O And this is a crazy one... Canned oysters. You can't find them for anything here in Switzerland!

wow!!! Sounds amazing!!! Haven't tried any of these foods you mentioned lol Yea... China and Canada are 12 hrs apart, plane flight -_- too far away D:

Yeah... I know the feeling. Our flights are similar, about 13 hours, I think, if I could afford the most direct tickets. But then its another 7 hours driving time. Of course, I can't afford that flight... :O Most of the time, we have at least one layover plus the drive, or two layovers if we get a more direct flight, so we wind up traveling for 23 to 30 hours... So lame! So we don't go too often...

I was just thinking the same thing the other day but I have been so swamped with ves I haven't been able to post haha. Roughly 600 more coins to go DX

omg that sucks D: i don't tolerate long flights so we don't go back too often too.... the last time we went back here is 5 years ago lol We took the direct flight so it's better.. :)

Yeah, the town I lived in is quite small, so it has exactly one flight coming in and going out each day... Makes it more expensive. :/ And definitely no direct flights!

- Judging HA contests is really hard. >.<

I've been meh since yesterday. It might be because I've had junk food the last few days. And, I'm kind of anxious about moving next week.

haha I'm glad I live in a big city :D

I know!! It was super fun to see the entries, so I'm not complaining, but it IS hard. But yeah... So wthe move is next week... Is it in with the parents or in with the fiancee, in the end? But don't stress either way! Drink herbal tea, and it will be what it will be... :O

Yeah, big cities are nice. :P Especially for travel. :O

haha yea we've many tourist destinations like the great wall :D

Yeah... Where I live has a few... Not such big ones as the wall, but a few. But they're mainly on the OTHER side of the state from us. :O Seven hours away. And seven hours the OTHER way is a proper big city. But we're just there, in between. There are also reasonably large cities three hours north and south, but then we still have to rent a car or get someone to pick us up, and the proper big city is where the other half of my family lives, so...

I see :( My other relatives live 12 hrs away by car (they live in smaller cities) but we decided to drive there lol. For plane flight it's ~1 hour

Yeah, that last bit is a short flight for us, too. But the last flight, purchased on it's own, is about $500!!! It's crazy, because the plane goes up and up, it finally reaches the height it would normally fly at, it's there for maybe five minutes, and then it starts descending again. :O

But yeah, we figured we'd either fly into our town and drive to the city, or fly into the city and drive to town, since we'd be visiting people in both places, so it made more sense to do the cheaper set of flights!

Oh I'm not sure on prices loll all I know is the plane duration and car duration :P RIght the plane isn't so high up when the plane duration is only 1 hr :) I prefer drive over fly tbh xD

Driving is more fun, and you certainly get to see more. :) Plus, you can make stops along the way, whether for food or snacks, or to get out to take pics, or whatever. :O I have absolutely made my husband pull over to the side of the road just so I can take a picture. :P
