Not sure why Photobucket is making the image so large now...

This Christmas will be spent at home. My daughter and I always make a Christmas Eve stocking stuffer run to Walgreens and then the day after Christmas we do our post holiday stock up on sale candy run. :)

Congrats :)

I couldn't believe I won, had to look for a second time lol, all entries were so amazing Thank you , the judges and everyone else :D

Here's my Home for Luminaire entry :D

I'm definitely not a party kind of girl! :P We tend to have quite a quiet Luminaire, with my Grandparents insisting on cooking the lunch, and the afternoon spent playing board games with my parents :D

and -Congratulations on your lovely HAs! I don't have my own cat, but my friend's kitty kept tangling with the ornaments on her tree, so this is a recreation of the terror, waking in the middle of the night, stalking towards her prey...only to be caught, of course. (Has any damage been done to the strings of lights, to each delicate ornament? ...pbbbt it's too late at night to tell if any popcorn strings are missing pieces, but...:3) (signs point to yes) [URL=http://s1290.photobucket.com/user/fortuluna/media/290054-326_zps82be60e1.png.html][IMG]http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b527/fortuluna/290054-326_zps82be60e1.png[/IMG][/URL]

Luminaire - Catching Santa!

We always went to one of my aunt and uncle's Christmas Eve with the whole family. Then each family celebrated Christmas day at home. It would always be dark of course when we came home Christmas Eve. It was such a magic ride home for me, because I always thought I could just hear bells ringing and Santa was out there visiting houses and I might catch a sight of him. One year my parents said I could stay up and see him when he came but he must not see me. I decorated myself up, so I wouldn't be seen behind the tree. My cat tried to stay up with me, but neither one of us made it. I vaguely remember my dad carrying me up to bed. I'm sure he didn't have to wait up very long. :D

I haven't been here for three weeks because of my sister being in the hospital and taking care of my mom and dad. Hated that I missed the other contests but here is my entry for the last one. I really want that tree! bad timing to not have a gold account for sure

p.s. I don't know why imageshack is only giving me a partial image. Help!

Oooooh will have to edit with an entry! Congrats to all the winners this month, you guys make beautiful creations!

Thank you so very much for the Overflowing Wardrobe Drawer. I've wanted that BG since the first time I saw it. I loved just having the opportunity to play with it. Now it's mine!!! :D

Me and my kitty waiting for the kids and grandkids to arrive so we can start our holiday celebration. Dinner, gift exchange, a little spiked eggnog and some good quality family time. Nothing better in the world.

OH and I forgot to mention that I already own the Box of Ornaments :)

We always have a quiet family holiday celebration. We draw tickets and buy presents for the one we got. The kids don't participate in this, they get presents from everyone. We play games, watch movies, eat and talk about all we've been through throughout the year and well.....we just have a wonderful time :)

Congratulations to the winners!!! Such great entries. ^_^ That window bg is absolutely gorgeous! Is it private? O.O

I think you mean the window on my HA right, not my entry? The window on my HA was made by Celestial and that's a public one. (Just in case, the window on my entry is in the cash shop)

My HA for the "Home For Luminaire" contest [avatar=crash]

Thank you ❤

And thank you for the gift ❤

My entry for the Home for Luminaire HA contest

Hope I'm not too late for the competition! I just finally got home after being on a boat for 3 days...

Had this one saved for a few days and almost forgot to enter it! >.<

"Home for Luminaire"

[edit] P.S. I absolutely love the way the lights line up with this window BG.. I'm not sure if the artists intended it that way but it's near perfect!

Even though we didn't have a bunch of entries for this one, the ones we did have were really impressive, and made for a difficult judges' decision. The last two just came in tonight, and finally we have a winner. Special mention was made about the blending of the home atmosphere with the festive party mood that abounds.

So, congrats to:

This concludes our Backers HA contests for 2013. However, stay tuned as, in just a little bit, we'll kick off 2014 in great style on a new thread, with January contests sponsored by Paddy, Fate, and Hamda!

As always, it's a pleasure to work with such a wonderful group!

Congrats on the win and a lovely entry. :)
