TinyJudi Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Jen, I mailed my entry on the 10th but didn't receive my email until the 16th. I also have some ideas if the entry gift is the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJEP Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I sent mine in over a month ago and did not get an email. My pictures are up if anyone wants to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Okay, so now that people have mentioned receiving confirmation emails, I'm nervous - anyone else who mailed in their submission on Monday the 15th, let me know when you get your confirmation email! I'm already coming up with plans if the thank you gift is a bus! :music_band: i sent mine that day also but i didnt recieve anything yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Mine was from Denise Moran. There is also an attachment which is a letter from Ernie. How long did it take between the time you mailed your entry and the time you received the confirmation? Edit: Ooops, sorry ... I just saw your answer above.

eglefther Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Will HBS run a special on the bus kit (or whatever kit is picked for the contest next year)? I got an email sometime late October early November with an announcement that the bus would be the next contest and it would be called "Get on the Bus" and you could get it for 50% off. So I did :music_band: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THmini2 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I didn't see that annoucement. But I am surprised that it would be something that has been out for awhile already. I'm not sure what I would do with the bus. But am sure that I would think of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 The bus was just released this year, so is a brand new kit, as the kits for the last three Creatin' Contests have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATBIDLACK Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I think he would be wise if he is overstocked to use the bus. It is one way to get rid of stock and use it as a tax deduction for advertisement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdmom Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I recieved my confirmation email yesterday or the day before and I think I sent my entry sometime around the 10th of December. I am really stuck if this next year is a bus. But I do have some ideas brewing. I had a bunch for the adams but with our move and all I couldn't get minis out to play again until the beginning of december so I designed my adams around things I already had in just a few days. I wasn't happy with the results at all, but I figured if I didn't get around to entering this year I would probably put it off forever. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 The Travel Trailer, Houseboat, and the Adams absolutely *screamed* at me to do them justice. I was their slave. I'm hoping next year's kit will be the bus. I don't hear it saying anything at all to me. I don't have a single idea for it that wouldn't involve making a dozen pre-teen dolls complete with backpacks and lunch boxes, an adult bus monitor with Nora Batty drooping stockings, and a driver. No thanks! I hope that it remains silent when it gets here (if indeed it is the reward for entering the contest). I'd rather work on my other houses next year.

fantail Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I absolutely hear what your saying Kathy! Spent MOST of this year on the bar box, and the Adams. Need to get back to my houses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THmini2 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Wouldn't it be great to see how many entries there are? I want more eye candy. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minime Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I mailed my entry in on the 12th and received a confirmation email a few minutes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATBIDLACK Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Same with me. They were overloaded with entries. Here I was hoping we were the only ones and someone from the forum would win. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Here I was hoping we were the only ones and someone from the forum would win. LOLConsidering how many people enter who aren't on our forum, it's amazing how many of our members DO win! (well, not really, when you consider the talent we have...)

minime Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Does anyone know how many entries they get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_in_PA Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 They said that last year they had almost 200 entries. Steve in PA :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrinsicat Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 200!!!!! WOWSERS! And as I recall there were only, what, 4 or 5 entries from here? Considering how many more people from just this forum submitted this year, I wonder if the number of have increased by as much... ...nope, I don't envy them at all.

minime Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I'm kind of shocked it's only about 200. I don't envy them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I recall a lot more than four or five from here, if everyone who posted they were sending pictures did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deirdre Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Talking about the bus, I had a couple of ideas, but the first one just didn't make it past the original thought. lol. Hippy bus! How manny thought of that right away. lol. I was not a hippy, but sure saw a lot of them, and those mini buses. It would certainly stand to reason that he would do it, as that is a kit not that many people would go for if you were into making doll houses. Of course, stuff way out there like an outhouse on a cut off bus might be cute. lol Deirdre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrinsicat Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I recall a lot more than four or five from here, if everyone who posted they were sending pictures did. Oh.... that's true.... but I know I was one of those people and I never got around to it... it ended up with additional wood I used for other projects. I guess I just don't recall seeing so many finished projects posted here last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 A lot of people may have found out (like I did) that working against a deadline is NO fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
