The thing I love the most about winter/the holiday season is that it normally means I am curled up somewhere warm, in baggy comfortable clothing reading (with the occasional cup of something hot) Once all the presents have been dropped off at my families places it means I have plenty of free time (after frantically shopping for everyones gifts), although I don't normally get to rest much until after the 19th of December (my baby brothers birthday)... ^_^;; I have a large family so organizing presents and drop offs for said presents is difficult, but can usually be done in one day as they all live close together ^_^ After that I tend to have lots of free time to catch up on things (like finishing old books and starting new ones!) |
Congratulations on the last round, Awen! <3 Your avi really was super awesome.

Username: Lawtan Round (1, 2, or 3): 3 Embedded Image or Image Link: https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/...1a&oe=551947C8 The holidays for me have changed a good bit over the last few years. Whereas the time of year used to mean giving, and helping, and charity, the last few years have been uncertain at best. I've been ill the last 3 years during December, and so unable to do as much. On a positive note, the winter season, by some old traditions, is supposed to be the time of telling old folklore. This, I have taken to heart, and I have shared stories I learned with people from October 31 to February 2. It is very beautiful to me, and to only tell such tales during that timespan keeps them somewhat special and memorable. It has developed my love of storytelling, and is one of the initial things that has helped me move out of depression. As such, my avatar reflects the old Crone of Winter, Cailleach, carrying a book of lore and a fairy-dragon on her arm. Beneath her robes is a bundle of wood, collected for February 2 - where, if she collects enough firewood, she will keep Brigid locked away for a longer winter. A short winter would mean Cailleach overslept, and is unable to gather more firewood. A poem I wrote, featuring Cailleach and Nanabhozo, the Ojibwe spring trickster. |
Thank you Lucid! Your avi is really stunning! When I saw yours I thought you were going to win ^_^
Awesome entry Lawtan! |
:) Thank you, Awen. You did very good with the clothing, I think.
|
Oh I thought they meant stuff from the river game too... Uhhh..
|
You can get those, but the river game has four items. Three are recolors, the moon, the spirits, and the boat. One is new and that is a flaming pumpkin head.
|
Ooh, jeez, I'm drawing a huge blank for the winter avi.

I Have An Entry! Username: ml1201 Round : 3 Imbedded Image or Image Link:http://i.imgur.com/ei1geis.png For me the holidays is about spending time with family and not really about what I got for Christmas. There was a time in my life that I was happy to get clothing from my family because we had lost our home, most of our clothing, and at times couldn't eat or bath properly. That's why people going crazy with shopping on days like Black Friday and last minute shopping before Christmas to get all the deals has never settled well with me, even more so when at times people were trampled to death because of them. The holiday becomes more and more about money and not appreciating the little things in life that makes us happy, which is what I plan to teach my children in the future if I ever have any. |

It's a time where, while a lot of things are asleep or perhaps dead, I feel very much alive. EDIT: Sorry, might be a few minutes too late. |

*goes and votes*
:D |
Oh. I thought the voting was going on until eleven tonight, I guess I misread. The poll says it's closed when I go to the vote thread.
|
It might have something to do with the time zone noted in the thread. I ahve no idea what it is in relation to UniTime though. ^^; (UniTime is an hour behind for me)
|
When you say 'common' does that exclude the 'free' event items from things like the stream and/or purchasable event items with the event currency?
|
It means only the items that you buy with AU. So nothing from the EVENT, DONATIONS, or SPECIAL tab when you are in the Editor.
This may or may not also mean no Crane Game items. I would lean towards it does. So if you can't find it in the shops, don't use it! FYI… You are basically asking for stripper Avis…. |
So then that would also include the Anka tokens since that's not aurum and the items cannot be obtained using aurum. Okay, I'll see what I can do. x'D
|
Yeah, my current total is 9815 au….. I really could go less but i like my 'look' and will probably add more items after i send it into the contest. Yay stripper avi, and it isn't even my birthday!
|
Oooh, that sounds pretty challenging! I wonder what I could do for less than 10k. I never really thought about the prices of items when making avis before.

T^T And I liked that avi SO much better. T^T |
Great entry, ml1201! It reminds me of Star Wars or Star Trek, for some reason. xD
|
lol, this was what I was going to originally enter. XD
http://i.imgur.com/Wn8ERQh.png But since items from the special tab are not permitted I had to change it up some. And thanks! XD I didn't have any of those intention, but that's awesome that that is what you got out of it. X3 |

Also ML you need to check your pricing and list it… i think.. |
Ops! I'll go add that in. ^^; Thanks!
|
Oops, guess I'm out for this round, then. I'm on vacation and can't use my laptop much, and this'd be a bit more time consuming ^^;

Hey, I was happy with it. You know how hard it is to use only one skin when you typically use two?
|
Okay, okay, okay, I'm gonna give it a go this time.

Think you are missing your under stockings Witchy.
I like the avi though! |
Thanks, Tiva! Just got that corrected!
|
@Moonshine
If I could have used my egg items it would be more. x'D But thank you! @Tive Your avi is also cute too. XD @Whitchy If you dressed your current avi up like that you could just go to the thread and save the image from your post and upload it for the contest. Or did you do a screen shot for that image? |
Oooh, these avis are all looking great! My first attempt came in 335 au over budget. >.> In calculating it I noticed I used a lot of one item set though so I'm going to see if I can't make some tweaks to it.
