Oh wow! I won?!?! :wow!:

Thank you everyone so much for all the compliments! :hug: And good job to everyone else, there were lots of good wallpapers. In fact I am very glad that I was a contestent and not a judge because I would have gone crazy trying to pick just one winner. :dizzy:

Actually, to shed a little light on the judging system (I helped judge this one) we don't pick just one. We give the winners a number between 1 and 10 in a number of categories then Inkhana tallies the votes and gives the highest one the winnership. So it's really quite fair.

I never saw it before and wasn't aware...but now I know why you won. I'm sure all the other contestants had strong offerings; this one wallpaper was very creative and original. I love the idea of a collage of images cut and pasted with scissors.

Congratulations, Myrrhlynn!!! *throws confetti and cake* :jump: Great work!

It was a difficult contest, because I know I liked quite a few of the wallpapers. Congrats to everyone. :) :jump:

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Thanks again everyone for your comments! :hug:

Thanks Rashiir for the music ;) I didn't even realize you came here any more! True_noir_chloe, you threw my cake? :eh:

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you want you are free to take this idea (of a scrapbook/collage of photos) to make a wallpaper of your own. I don't have any claims to it or anything. ;)

Hey Myrrh, don't eat that cookie! It's left-over from the Best Couple contest!

But you're more than welcome to have all the chocolate covered donuts you'd like, since Hitokiri doesn't get a one of them. :lol:

You know, when I first looked at the title of this thread, it looked like it said "and the winner of the wall paper contest is... Inkhana"

That seemed a little weird... Huh...

Hey MyrrhLynn, I would never give you old cookies.:) I baked them fresh.

Ashley, aren't those donuts the same ones you tried to bribe Hitokiri with - last week? :eyebrow:

Anyways, I meant my congratulations wholeheartedly. :jump:

Oh that's good I like fresh cookies. Although actually if you gave me the dough I would like it even better. :thumb: :sweat: Well wait, that depends on the type of cookie. Some of them have really gross tasting dough. ;)

And thanks Nalani! I can't believe everyone likes it so much. :hug:
