  A little OT, but...

  I want to apologize to my friends here in the Freebie Challenge for my absence of late. As most probably know, I have made my debut as a PA in the DAZ store this last week. In preparation for release, my time was monopolized by the project and I was literally spending 23 hours a day getting everything ready.

  Since the release, things have let up only a little, but if any of you have asked me to do something for you that hasn't been completed, please send me a message so that I make good on my responsibilities to my friends here.

  Kendall

  no apologies needed Kendall, that is really cool.

  ... NOTICE ...

  Just a heads up to let everyone know WE DO NOT HAVE A HOST FOR JANUARY! Would anyone be interested in starting off the new year? You must have a theme in mind. In fact the entire year is open except for June, October and December. Pick a month! If anyone would like to host it, please pm me asap!

  :-)

  I'm up for August again.

  You got it B.

  :-)

  So, who's got what? I know from our PMs that I've got May...

  Well it looks like we have a New Host for January, as I twisted his arm, but I will be helping him along the way, as it's his first time, so a new venture, a dual host.

  
  SO it's going to be the Jade and Cho Dog and Pony show for January. Details later

  Jade, I know what it's like to be a new host - I hosted my first Freebie Challenge last month. It can be stressful, but it's a lot of fun, too! (And if you need a judge, just ask...)

  Jade, don't worry. This just like hosting the beginner's challenge. The only difference is that you help to decide the winners.
  Oh; and welcome to the insane asylum.
• music2u4u Posts: 2,822

  December 2012 edited December 2012

  ok...so here's what we have so far:

  Jan - Jade and Cho
  Feb - open
  March - BWSman
  April - open
  May - Robkelk
  June - Music2u4u
  July - Dollygirl
  August - BWSman
  Sept - open
  Oct - Music2u4u
  Nov - open
  Dec - Jeeperz

  So...we are half full...or is that half empty? I try to be optimistic about these things.

  (Sure wish we could get ole' Dorseyland to do "the Funnies" theme or Lord Ganthor to do a "Real man" theme one month. That would be fun to see all those real men folks would come up with...lol.

  I've wanted to host for a long time now, but...I'm terrified that, what with my screwy work schedule that changes from minuet to minuet, that I would fall behind or fall off all together and just not be able to keep up. Okay, so that's a hopelessly lame excuse, but the last thing I'd ever want to do is disappoint everybody here because I couldn't hold up my end of things. Maybe my situation will improve later in the New Year, but I'm not holding out much hope. It's difficult to muster the energy to oversee a challenge after putting in 10 or 12 hour days that alternate between mind-numbing taskwork and screaming hysterics. But in this economy, wadda'mi gonna do?

  Don't worry about that; you will have a solid team to help you with hosting. Go ahead; give it a shot. We'll make sure you don't fall flat on your face. Dorseyland; on the other hand..... (JK Dorseyland)

  Well, I finally have my piece done.

  Christmas Party

  Santa was making his rounds
  one Christmas Eve Night,
  When down the chimney he came
  to the most unusual sight.

  For there before his eyes
  at this Christmas party,
  was a swashbuckler, a smuggler,
  a soldier, a singer, and a shinobi.

  There was two techies, a tomboy,
  and a tiny tot too.
  "Ho, Ho, Ho", he said,
  "Oh what an interesting crew!"

  Then having given his gifts
  he dashed out of sight,
  with a "Merry Christmas to all,
  And to all a good night!"

  Only post work is the copyright with my logo, and the "Merry Christmas" at the bottom

  jeeperz, I checked the links of TG's entry they are good except for shadowcatstudios tank dress and you get a 404 error and I get a maneto error on evilinnocence's store. That could be me and not the link. Ready for your call.

  Tramp Graphics, a nice composition. You did a really good job on the poses and the interactions of the people in the scene. It looks real.

  and TG here is the link to the hair:

  Thanks dollygirl. There are plenty of links to qualify, I would say
  ENTRY ACCEPTED
  I am still not on my computer yet, if the link is bad it can be fixed or left out. Either way works for me
