Had to do core exercises after this. Can't just take this and then do nothing with it.
What would the other people at the gym say? lol​

Our acceptance reactions are now available! I'll start going through the submissions either later tonight or tomorrow. However, I have glanced at everything up to this point and if I had any questions about your entry, I've already messaged you.

Hi, would this rubber ducky be okay to submit?

Hi @roseflower!
I'm afraid a regular rubber ducky doesn't meet the criteria for the Inflatables round. While it is hollow inside, it doesn't need to be filled with air to gain or keep its shape. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accept it, but there's still plenty of time to locate something else!

Okay, I'll try to find something else, thanks! <3

A dinosaur and a rainbow balloon at a shop! Picture's not great, but I was getting conscious that I was being weird. :'D

Oops, it looks like my image isn't showing up properly in the thread, only by following the links. Anyone know why this might be happening? Is my image too large?

It looks like it's probably too large because it's slow to load for me even when I click the link. But that's ok. I've still accepted it since I was able to view it. Very cute Hello Kitty balloon!

I love them both! Don't worry, if you keep participating in TBT events, you'll get over the being weird feeling.

Last year I was out in front of Kroger taking a picture of the sign for an event and someone shouted, "It's a beautiful sign!" I just laughed and went on about my business.

Round 2

Wall/Ceiling Decor

This includes any birthday party appropriate decorations that are typically hung on the walls or from the ceiling. Your entry does not have to be hung up in order to be accepted. I will accept a packaged item as long as it is clearly identifiable.

Examples: Streamers, bunting, banners, piñatas

Crafting Allowed!

Yes! This round will allow crafting! If you don't have access to any of these items (or even if you do!), you have the option to create your own banner, bunting, etc.
Keep in mind that anything you craft must still meet the criteria detailed above and a reasonable amount of effort must be put into your work.
If you are in doubt, please ask.

Also, keep in mind that this is not a competition. There are no rewards for the best item.

Spoiler: My Entry

For my entry, I found some cute piñatas. On the left is a birthday cupcake and on the right a game controller. I thought both were very fitting for TBT's 20th Birthday!

*Note that staff entries are not eligible for prizes.​

Oh nice, I happen to still have these up from a color party I threw a couple months ago.
