*honestly starts tearing up and feels like a lametard for doing so*

I'm so happy. I'm so incredibly happy right now. Sushi, you have no idea... thank you so much. Kodylas are my favorite species with no exception, partly for the aesthetics (oh god, hair...) and partly for the faults built into their species mindset. I never actually held out much hope of getting one. But thank you. So much.

Also, I'm thrilled to see that the Breakfast Bacon Sushi looked delicious enough to compete with all of the amazing sweet sushi out there. I was seriously wishing I could just reach my hand into the screen for Puuka's. xD

[Orasteele]

Congratulations to the winners!! Good work everyone!! I'm looking forward to seeing the new sams!

[silvermoondragon]

congrats Jen! I can't wait to see your new sam! and of course, everyone else, congrats as well!

*lurks and waits for cassiadawn to pick her prize*

[AsaraDragon]

Many many congratulations to all the winners! Those are some well-earned prizes, and I certainly can't wait to see what comes of all the customs and semi-customs as well!

It was definitely a happy Samanayr birthday, don't you think?

[LvSoulFriend]

Congrats to the winners!

[Xenon]

aieeeee!! Congratulations, everybody! Everyone came up with incredibly creative and interesting entries for thse contests. The art contest entries were just so gorgeous, and I love the creativity that was shown in the sushi-cookoff. Seriously, you guys, you came up with some crazy-awesome stuff. <3

EEEEE! Sushi, thank you so much. <3 Scythe is a very... odd beastie in my head. Jenn and Sera can both tell you that he started off being based around a different character I have and then he kinda mutated from there. He ended up being far, far more creepy than I'd originally intended and I actually sat there and went "should I enter this? <<;" for a while. I think some day I'm going to have to try to make him real, but until then... <3 thank you. I will think hard on my colors!

Jenn, CosmicDragon, and everybody else who entered... you guys get massive props from me. You both came up with astounding entries and I'm amazed I ranked at all with the incredible competetion. Seriously, this is one talented group of people, and I feel lucky to be a part of it.

Again! Congrats, everybody!

[Janalee]

Eee! *dances* There were so many great entries in all of the contests, I really couldn't even guess how you were going to choose the winners; congrats everyone!
And I certainly don't think you're lame for tearing up Jenn; I'm sure if I had won first place I would be too. *smiles* As it is, I can't help bouncing around ridiculously for Second runner-up...it's just so much fun. ^^

[sera]

Omedetou gozaimasu!!! ^^ All of the entries for everything are SO awesome! i so didn't envy Sushi her time deciding. lol Congratulations to all the winners! ^^

[Esperanza]

Congrats winners.

[Origami_Dragon]

Congrats everyone! There were some really awesome entries there! I can't imagine having to choose just three or four to place. Thanks for having this set of events Sushi! It was a lot of fun!

[Sushidragon]

[Bluestarwolf12]

[Britain]

Yay, congratulations everyone!

[Jennalyn]

Silver, cassiadawn just chose Waft on PI. <3 Your turn!

[Sushidragon]

For the art contest - rekyrem chose Torrent, and Taliba choose the custom, so now it's Janalee's pick!

For the sushi cook-off - cassiadawn chose Waft, so now it's silvermoondragon's pick!

[Janalee]

Ooh, Inferno please! *bounces ecstatically at the thought of her first Elemental*

[silvermoondragon]

haha... I wait around all day and when I decide to go watch movies XD

I think I'll pick the custom please, I do like Grove, but I am too tempted to get a peregrine falcon mimic of my own. I guess I pm you the custom Sushi?

[Jennalyn]

*____*

*glomps Silver* Good luck with your mimic! I would totally adore Grove, please. I've been enamored with her ever since I laid eyes on her.

[LvSoulFriend]

*tempts Jenn with the Song of the Renewed Woodlands for Grove*

[Pristine]

Congratulations to all of the winners

Grove would be an awesome addition to the Song of the Renewed Woodlands.

*scurries off to figure out what sort of colors she wants to send in for her semi-custom*

[Sushidragon]

Looks like all of the prizes have been claimed, yay I'll be working on semi-customs and customs over the next few days.

[RikkuGirl]

Congrats guys! Those were awesome! ^_^

[Orasteele]

Pssst...Sushi. >_> Britain did not receive a modium from the Art Contest.

[Jennalyn]

Ooh, you guys are totally right. Grove would fit so perfectly into Peace's Song that it's not even funny. <3
