OMG these are great! I LUV the palm tree one!!!
Filbert?s Fireworks Festival
As the Summer Fireworks Festival approached, the small town of Birdsong was in a frenzy of excitement. Mayor Midori had given her best friend, Filbert permission to plan the party, while she brainstormed menu ideas for the all town picnic. She decided to go visit her friend from another town so she could call on Merengue, and maybe a few others, to help her with some themes, thus leaving Isabelle, her trusty assistant in charge.
Filbert tried not to panic when Midori left, but he couldn?t help feeling a little ?nuts? (ba doom ching) about planning this huge party alone. He felt honored to be given the task but knew he might need some help from his fellow neighbors to get everything ready. He had one super special idea but needed to check with all his neighbors about it first. He looked at the list he had started and tried to decide where to start first. He needed to figure out the music, party favors, games, and prizes.
He decided to go see Static first and see if he could bounce some ideas off of him. Static was right in the middle of arranging his gyroid collection when Filbert came by. When Filbert timidly asked Static what kind of music they should play, Static, just smiled brightly and told him he could call KK Slider and see if he could come play the festival and he could borrow his gyroids to help KK as some background accompaniment. Filbert thought that was a fine idea, and thanked Static for his help. Then he asked Satic about his special project. Static said he would LOVE to help.
Next, he headed over to Francine?s house. She and her sister, Chrissy were fabulous accessorizors . Francine, however, wasn?t home, so he tried Chrissy?s next and found them both there, trying on hats. He told them he had an idea of wanting to make party hats for the festival. He had an idea of hats that blinked like fireworks when you wear them. The girls LOVED the idea and volunteered to help make them for him. As he was leaving, he asked the sugar sisters if they could also help him with his very special project. They were enamoured with the idea and of course agreed to help as well.
So far, things were going great!!! He wondered if Midori was doing as well as he was. While he was on a roll, he decided to go see Bam for some game ideas. Bam was such a sporty guy, he knew he would be a great help. Bam greeted Filbert excitedly as he showed him the volleyball net his friend just sent him. He asked Bam if maybe they could set it up for the festival and of course Bam thought it was a great idea. Bam also suggested a potato sack race and a scavenger hunt, along with hide and seek. When Filbert was heading out, he also asked Bam about his super special project, and Bam was practically jumping up and down over the idea.
Meanwhile, over in Skyfall, Midori and her friend, Brodie headed over to Merengue?s house. Merengue was stoked to see Midori, and couldn?t wait to get started on some menu ideas. Merengue had a great idea of making strawberry shortcake with sugared mint leaves sprouting out of the top to look like green fireworks and adding sprinkles. With the desert out of the way, she thanked Merengue and headed over to Tangy?s house. Tangy also was very excited to help and suggested fruit bouquets for the picnic tables that everyone could munch off of. Midori knew she needed more ideas so she decided to visit her friend, Moo?s town next.
Back in Birdsong, Filbert decided to head over to Marshal?s house next. Marshal was just so cool, Filbert thought, and he knew he could get some great ideas from him. Marshal quickly let Filbert in and immediately wanted to show him his new game. It was a dance game that he had quickly became really good at. When Filbert told him that he was searching for ideas for the fireworks festival, Marshal told him that he would luv to hook the new dance game up to Birdsong?s video screen so they could have dance offs. Filbert thought this was a fantastic idea! He then asked Marshal about his special plan, and Marshal said he would be happy to help. He thanked Marshal and went on his way.
He decided to press his luck and head to Bunnie?s house next. He asked her if she could possibly gather some flowers and maybe make some lighted paths for the festival. She was more than happy to be in charge of that, since gardening was her favorite thing to do. When Filbert told her about his special project and she practically cried at the thought.
Back at the train station, Midori decided to head to Moo?s town of Corsim next so she could visit with a few of his neighbors. When she arrived, Moo was thrilled to see her. It had been a long time. She told him about the fireworks festival and how she needed some food ideas for the picnic, and wanted to know if she could visit Mint and Gaston and brainstorm.
First she went to Mint?s house and Mint had a fabulous idea of cherry lemonade for the festival that could be served out of coconut shells. Next, she went Gaston?s house and had to take a scared breath before she knocked. Gaston was a famous French chef, and he had a strange temperament. Luckily though, when Gaston answered the door, he was thrilled to help Midori out. He and Midori put their heads together and decided that his famous Bacon Avocado Potato Salad, fried corn on the cob, and his crab rolls would be perfect. She thanked him profusely and let him know that this was going to be the best fireworks festival ever. Midori wondered how Filbert was holding up in Birdsong.
Back in Birdsong, Filbert headed to Diana?s house next. Diana was good friends with Redd, and he wanted to see if she could check with him about bringing some extra fireworks that everyone could buy and maybe some other prizes they could buy for the fireworks festival. She told him she would be happy to help. Filbert then asked if she could help him with his special project and she of course said she would.
Next on his list, he went to see Peanut. He asked her if she could possibly be the announcer for everything going on at the festival. He had ordered some speakers to be placed around the areas that the festival would be going on and needed someone that could tell everyone there what all was happening and when. She told him she would be more than happy to be the Festival mouthpiece, since she used to be head cheerleader in her old town. He then asked if she would help with his special project and she said she would be happy to.
He had one more stop to make and it was the most important one. He went and knocked on Stitches?s door, and his friend let him inside. He then asked Stitches if he could help him with a very important project for the festival that required his phenomenal sewing skills. When Stitches heard what he wanted to do, he was overwhelmed with emotion and told Filbert straight away that he was in.
As Midori returned from her travels and settled in for the night, there was a knock on her door. Filbert had come by to tell her that all was well, and everything had been taken care of for the Festival. She thanked her friend and told him, she was so grateful she could count on him.
The next day, Midori had a great idea as a way to thank Filbert for all his hard work on the festival. When she got to work, she asked her assistant Isabelle, if she could order a hundred sky blue balloons in time for the party. Isabelle, asked why all sky blue. Why not order lots of colors. Midori then told her, that they would see lots of colors when it came time for fireworks, but she wanted sky blue balloons in honor of Filbert. If it hadn?t been for him, then there would only be food at the festival. After hearing this, Isabelle wholeheartedly agreed, and placed the order.
The day of the festival came and started out with beautiful clear skies, and a nice cool breeze. With all the help Filbert got from his fellow neighbors, the decorations looked great, the party favors were a huge hit, and the games were going strong, with their appointed announcer excitedly keeping everyone informed of the day?s events. Midori?s delectable menu was something anyone would be jealous to have missed. When Filbert saw the balloons that were brought in as a thank you to him, he blushed bright pink and stood as tall as his little frame would allow him to. As the sun started its journey towards the horizon, Filbert went and borrowed Peanut?s microphone. He had a very important announcement to make. he asked for Midori to come and stand by the town tree, and when she got there he thanked her for all of her hard work. He told her their town had become a much better place since she got there, and they all loved every single memory she helped build. He then presented her with a gift. When she opened it, she was completely floored. She then unfolded a patchwork picnic blanket made up of 9 big squares. Filbert then told her that the 9 squares were from all of her neighbors. Each square was made from the first shirt she ever sent to them one by one. She looked and sure enough, Stitches had even embroidered each neighbor?s name on the square from the shirt that they had given him. Filbert then looked at Midori and told her that he couldn?t just contribute one square. He had saved all the shirts she had ever sent him, and while he loved them all and didn?t mind parting with one, but he couldn?t part with the first one she had sent him, so he parted with all the rest and they made up the border that surrounded the other 9 squares. This beautiful gift was the greatest she had ever received, and told all of her neighbors that being the Mayor of their town, was the greatest job ever.
Then, Stitches handed Filbert a beautifully wrapped box. He told him, that this was a gift from the rest of the neighbors just for him, for putting together such a great day. In Filbert?s box was another blanket. This blanket had his first shirt that Midori had sent him, along with pieces of the other shirts she had sent him. The other special part of his picnic blanket, was all the neighbors had saved some of their scrap material left from their shirt and made HIM a border for his blanket from their shirts. Filbert was blown away by their generosity and thanked them from the bottom of his heart for the greatest Summer Fireworks Festival EVER!!!
As the Summer Fireworks Festival approached, the small town of Birdsong was in a frenzy of excitement.

Ha! Thx so much! I originally wrote about when we all got acnl and about that summer. (It was the best summer ever!) but since they decided to only allow fictional stories, I thought I'd give it a try.

My entry to the photography contest! I had to size it down to fit the forum and that really messed with the quality. But I linked the full picture for the admins/mods so they could see the full quality.
Wow wish I was there! Looks proper relaxing
I got my photography entry in, I really like how it turned out!
Now that is quality!

So this is my writing entry... I couldn't get it past 800 words for the longest time!
"Hey, Isabelle?" The mayor looked up from his yellow binder of Public Works Projects to where Isabelle was beginning to doze off. She woke with a start at the sound of his voice, and always the loyal secretary, rushed to his side, her hair-bells jingling. "Yes, mayor?" He took the last sips of steaming Kilimanjaro from his paper coffee cup, reveling in the taste for a moment. "It's a summer night. Nobody's going to be coming in today, are they?" Isabelle shook her head sheepishly. "I'm really sorry I called you into work today, Mayor."
"No, that's okay, Isabelle- you know as well as I do that it's my job to be here. Say, I've got an idea." He stood up, striking a pose. "Have you finished all of the paperwork you were working on?" Isabelle looked a little surprised, but she replied with a soft yes. "Meet me at the beach entrance in five minutes, will you? We're going to take a little time off. Oh, and wear your pajamas."
Isabelle shuffled nervously in place and inspected her watch for the twentieth time. Five minutes exactly. Where was he? She was beginning to feel a little strange about standing there in public in her green fleece onesie. Another minute ticked by, and as she checked her watch again, she heard racing footsteps behind her.
It was the mayor, followed by all of their friends! All the shop owners, the villagers, her twin brother Digby, Lyle, Pelly, Pete, Phyllis, K.K. Slider, Celeste, Luna, Dr. Shrunk... the mayor had even dragged Blathers and a confused-looking Brewster, who had a tight grip on Lloid, along with him. She smiled at the sight of Brewster and Lloid, he had always had a little "thing" for gyroids.
Isabelle anxiously rushed to follow the crowd of pajama-clad animals, and it was silent for a few minutes before the mayor, dressed in a blue pajama set and cap, stood atop a box he had pulled out of his pockets. "Everybody in this town deserves a break. We've all been working so hard; whether it's been doing our jobs, running errands, or just making this entire town wonderful," Here, he made eye contact with Isabelle. She flushed pink, and looked down, a little proud of what she and the mayor had done with the originally barren town. "So I've packed my bags full of sparkling apple cider, fresh fruit, blankets, and folding chairs. I say we go down to the beach tonight, light a bonfire, and just celebrate this town being fantastic. Who's with me?" The town let out an unanimous cheer. In just a few minutes, a fire had been lit and was burning, strong and steady.
Celeste and Blathers stared at the stars, Celeste occasionally pointing out her favourite constellations. K.K. absentmindedly strummed his guitar, surrounded by villagers who made up their own funny lyrics with delight. Dr. Shrunk was telling jokes to an expressionless Lloid, who unfortunately wasn't able to move from where he had been placed in the sand. Reese and Cyrus were snuggled up under a blanket. Labelle was deep in conversation with her sisters and Gracie. Kapp'n had brought everyone over from the island, and Tortimer was able to see his old secretary, Pelly, again. Copper and Booker munched on pears and conversed with the others, having left the Police Station for the first time in a long time. Tom was entertaining Timmy and Tommy with little things he had brought from his old store. Pete had even tapped Phyllis on the shoulder and timidly asked if she would like to share an apple with him.
Isabelle was happy. She had recently begun to feel stressed out about the stacks of paperwork on her desk and considered taking a leave of absence, but now, as she sipped at a glass of sparkling apple cider and caught up with Digby, she realized that she genuinely did love this town. "Isabelle," The mayor sat beside her in the soft sand. "I want to thank you so much for what you've done for this town. Working with you has been incredible. You are the kindest, most generous friend I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I remember, on the first day of it all, when I arrived in this town, you asked me to bring you something."
From behind his back, he produced a lustrous purple seashell, one she had never seen before. They were her favourite. "Oh my... y-you remembered, Mayor?" She couldn't believe it, the mayor- though burdened with mayoral tasks, had taken time out of his day to remember that she, a plain ol' puppy, enjoyed collecting seashells. The secretary took the seashell gratefully and placed it gently into her pockets, being extra careful to keep the special shell intact. Suddenly, feeling a little more loved, Isabelle spent the rest of the night mingling with everyone on the beach. She received secretary advice from Pelly, insisted to Harriet that she did not need a new hairstyle, indulged in a little Ms. Nintendique with the female villagers, and even got some style tips from Gracie herself! Of course, she would never get rid of her favourite red ribbon. Never.
As Isabelle curled up beneath a thick, plaid blanket, staring up at the summer night sky, she took the seashell out of her pockets and placed it next to her, beaming from ear to ear. This was the best day she had ever had.
"No, that's okay, Isabelle- you know as well as I do that it's my job to be here. Say, I've got an idea." He stood up, striking a pose. "Have you finished all of the paperwork you were working on?" Isabelle looked a little surprised, but she replied with a soft yes. "Meet me at the beach entrance in five minutes, will you? We're going to take a little time off. Oh, and wear your pajamas."
Isabelle shuffled nervously in place and inspected her watch for the twentieth time. Five minutes exactly. Where was he? She was beginning to feel a little strange about standing there in public in her green fleece onesie. Another minute ticked by, and as she checked her watch again, she heard racing footsteps behind her.
It was the mayor, followed by all of their friends! All the shop owners, the villagers, her twin brother Digby, Lyle, Pelly, Pete, Phyllis, K.K. Slider, Celeste, Luna, Dr. Shrunk... the mayor had even dragged Blathers and a confused-looking Brewster, who had a tight grip on Lloid, along with him. She smiled at the sight of Brewster and Lloid, he had always had a little "thing" for gyroids.
Isabelle anxiously rushed to follow the crowd of pajama-clad animals, and it was silent for a few minutes before the mayor, dressed in a blue pajama set and cap, stood atop a box he had pulled out of his pockets. "Everybody in this town deserves a break. We've all been working so hard; whether it's been doing our jobs, running errands, or just making this entire town wonderful," Here, he made eye contact with Isabelle.

Oh, the Nostalgia.
My previous entry got rejected. I found out that the piece you entered had to be made recently, and my entry was made a month or two ago, so I told Justin and had him reject it for me. This is my second entry. I made this today.

attention gamers,
So this is my writing entry... I couldn't get it past 800 words for the longest time!
"Hey, Isabelle?" The mayor looked up from his yellow binder of Public Works Projects to where Isabelle was beginning to doze off. She woke with a start at the sound of his voice, and always the loyal secretary, rushed to his side, her hair-bells jingling. "Yes, mayor?" He took the last sips of steaming Kilimanjaro from his paper coffee cup, reveling in the taste for a moment. "It's a summer night. Nobody's going to be coming in today, are they?" Isabelle shook her head sheepishly. "I'm really sorry I called you into work today, Mayor."
"No, that's okay, Isabelle- you know as well as I do that it's my job to be here. Say, I've got an idea." He stood up, striking a pose. "Have you finished all of the paperwork you were working on?" Isabelle looked a little surprised, but she replied with a soft yes. "Meet me at the beach entrance in five minutes, will you? We're going to take a little time off. Oh, and wear your pajamas."
