Reminder!

[kaige68.livejournal.com]

Just a quick drive by folks, with a reminder that haldoor's birthday is the 14th and that is the deadline for us to reach the 50k. And just to be a little more sticky about it, H is in the very first time zone, and sixteen hours ahead of me. I'd really like to get everything submitted and counted on the 13th so that it's all there when she wakes up on her birthday. So if we can have everything done by noon EST (5PM GMT/4AM NZST) that would be wonderful!

Thank you all!!!

Taste the Rainbow: Haldoor's Birthday Edition

[chokolattejedi.livejournal.com]

So, this morning, at 2AM, instead of writing any of the things on my to do list, or finishing my weekend challenge, or you know, sleeping ;) I decided instead to make icons from a bunch of the rainbow pictures I've got saved. And when I saw how many rainbow pictures I had, I decided to make only food ones, and to do it to celebrate Haldoor's birthday! Because everyone wants rainbow colored cake and cupcakes and slushies on their birthday, right? Right.

That's what I thought. :D

Teasers:


The rest of them (50 icons!) are here at my graphics journal

I said I'd post this...

[agdhani.livejournal.com]

I have no idea how many words this would count for, lmao...and it's not officially 'done' until I know what the eastern side of the world is like...but it's 'done' through the point I'm at in the book series at least :)

This took way longer than I expected. I should have been editing...but I helped my daughter get packed to move...we went to dinner and saw Elysium last night, then saw her off today. I'm depressed, and so didn't really feel like doing editing stuff. Tonight I think it'll be Dr. Who eps with my other daughter...so this is my creative contribution for the weekend.

hopefully the link works...and if there are any 'weather experts' with ideas for climate terrain in the rest of the world, drop me a line please ;)
