I always find it difficult to find the right words to express how I feel. It’s hard to put into words how amazing and unforgettable this event has been and how it made me feel, what it means to me, and to so many here. This fair is something I’ll never forget.
Congratulations to all the winners, nominees, and staff favourites! Your hard work and creativity truly shine through!
The staff did a phenomenal job in so many ways, and you should all be proud of your outstanding efforts! It truly felt like a celebration for the 20th anniversary. I can only imagine how many countless hours went into organizing everything, but it was absolutely worth it! Thank you for making it so special!
And the community, the amount of love and dedication given truly shined through. Every single one of you should be proud of your contributions, no matter how big or small, they helped make this event as bright and glorious as it was!
(And my gosh, and "Canvas Crossing" was incredible! The amount of dedication you all had, and to ensuring no one was left out, was so heartwarming! I sincerely hope this event returns in the future because I would love to see it again!)
I'd like to thank everyone who drew me in "Canvas Crossing". I’ve sent personal messages, but I want to thank
@Iris_T,
@KittenNoir,
@.: Meri :.,
@Rosch,
@shellbell,
@Xara, and
@Zerous again for taking the time to draw my silly blue-and-gold rep. All of them made me smile, and thank you all again for considering me. It means a lot.
Thank you also for the staff favorite in "Colorful Confetti"! I love and adore this cupcake (great job as always
@Laudine)!
It reminds me of the Magic Muffin from Fairly OddParents - eating it would grant any wish. But I feel as though my wish has already come true.
Now, I’m not one to boast about my achievements, but this one holds a very special place in my heart. For "Magnificent Memories", the inspiration behind my entry was my original entry from 2014, it was one of my very first contributions to this site. During that time in my life, I was struggling. Seeing all the love it received, and even winning first place back then (yes!), still amazes me to this day! It left such a positive impact when I truly needed it. A significant part of why I continue to push myself creatively stems from that entry and the admiration and love I received from so many members. To be placed first again, ten years later, is beyond words! I'm immensely grateful, and thank you all!
I continue to receive such kind and heartfelt messages from members, congratulating me and expressing how much my art has inspired them, and how much they admire my work. I'm incredibly thankful and lost for words. It fills my heart with gratitude and joy, though I find it difficult to truly put into words how much this means to me. All I can express is that I am deeply appreciative and truly honoured. I'm so glad that my work has been able to inspire so many of you, just as this forum and the wonderful people within it continue to inspire me. I strive to give back, evoke, and reflect those same feelings through my art, capturing how special and unique each of you are. It’s a celebration of you all!

@Zerous and many more. It was both an honour and a pleasure to draw each of you. You are part of what made this entry so meaningful, and I only wish I could have included even more from this wonderful community.
Perhaps in another ten years, I will revisit this entry once again, with new memories and more cherished moments shared with all of you. Until then, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making TBT the incredible place that it is! Twenty years of unforgettable memories, and countless moments that brought us together, all because of one quirky little series of games.
takes me back to my early school years when colouring pages were considered “homework” in first grade haha - take me back ;u;
thank you!
