arathisiewen!!!


Congratulations!

I know you want icons,
I know how you love them so,
I shall give them to you soon,
Or at least I hope so.

Even though you only have 1 icon friend,
Soon, I hope, you will have more,
For people say they won't offend,
And are dedicating their time to make some more.

Your Challengeiness has 5 pictures to take,
To make some tantalizing icons we shall never forget.

Do the Icon Tengo

Voting ends tonight.

( Autumn Icons )

Here ye! Here ye!
The icon has been in session.
Please don't forget!! No icons have been submitted yet. =[

They said to make icons, so I said OF COURSE I CAN MAKE THE BEST ICON TO BEAT THEM ALL!!

Remember, we extended Challenge 78 until tonight. We only have two icon-makers entered so far. Surely there are other BT icons to be made in fallish colors.

In a French mood tonight, I suppose; after this I will be working on entries for Challenge 78, which is, hopefully, being allowed to extend because of lack of entries! I should be back into the swing of things now, what with having my personal space back and all.... but to the bannners, allons-y!

( C'est un bon nuit, no? )

We only had one person enter Challenge 78, the Autumn Challenge, so I'm going to extend the challenge until Wednesday. I know that's stepping on Challenge 79's toes, but I've had one person interested in entering late, so I'm hopeful that someone else might want to participate, too.

The Rules of bloodtiesstills have been updated.

We realize that there are certain items on the Rules that have not been there before. I apologize for any confusion to anyone but there is no posting of graphics or icons on bloodtiesstills like most Icon Challenges this community is strictly an Icon Challenge Community. This means that we don't allow our members to post graphics or icons because it would take away from the focus of our challenges. We hope that you guys and gals will still enter the challenges with this rule in place.

Please check out the rules--> Here!

Where are all the autumn BT icons? So far, only one person has entered Challenge 78, and that person is me.

Turn over a new leaf

I have not forgotten I have banners to make for challenges 74 and 77. Bear with me, got back from two weeks holiday and have RL stuff to deal with, but will get to them as soon as possible.

...or to the South or to the West Coast, it's time for all good Blood Ties iconmakers to make autumn icons for Challenge 78. So far, only one person has posted any icons.

'Cause when fall comes to New England,
Oh, I can't turn away.
From fading light on flying wings,
And late good-byes a robin sings,
And then another thousand things [like BT icons]...
When fall comes to New England.

( Now it's time to see who won! Woohoo! )

This week's banner maker will be serenitysangel.

Speaking of fall, happy October! Wouldn't right now be a great time to make an icon for Challenge 78, the Autumn Challenge?


O suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together.
Love loveth best of all the year
October's bright blue [and red and yellow and gold and orange and brown] weather.

I'm very sorry about not making the banners for challenge 75 as of yet....unfortunately, life is kicking me in the arse of late.
