Canvas crossing was definitely my favorite part!

lowkey kinda surprised, tbh, maybe I'm misremembering, but I swear all the prior fairs also had a raffle for their new animated collectible
though maybe with the amount raffled off for non-staff favorite events, they figured there was no need for an additional raffle
First and FAIRmost, thank you so much to our staff who put so much time and effort into this shindig!!!! You guys really really really went above and beyond with the amount of contests and events and time and dedication I know y’all had to put into this wild @$$ ride!!!
Thank you so much for the staff fav nod at my pack for the party entry! I am hugely BEYOND thrilled to have this new spectacular animated collectible so much!!! I tend to always do my best to go all out with everything I ever enter, but I really really put a lot of time and thought into every single entry that I put in this year (well, except for maybe my pumpkin muffins because I was already going to make those per my children’s’ request
Those are honestly really really not hard to make). I went out of my normal Comfort zone this year as I tried a new painting technique that I’ve never done before and although neither one of my paintings made it into the voting slots, I was really really proud of them. I’ve never really attempted to do a real galaxy type painting before and I was very, very happy with how both of them turned out. I wanted to think outside of the box as much as I could this year so thank u staff for giving me the motivation to do so!!!!
Congratulations to all of the contest winners and nominees and event favs! And also a huge shout out to all you raffle winners as well! I could see in so many entries how much time and creativity & love went into each and every one. Also a huge round of applause to all of those that participated in this fair!!! I really truly enjoyed seeing every single entry!
My Oh My…. canvas crossing. I am so ridiculously proud of this community for putting out so many wonderful & beautifully thought out pieces of art for other people. I am beyond touched with how many entries there were. Massive MVP award to u, @Foreverfox on 50 freaking reps!!!!! I know a lot of you did a ton as well and I know this community is so grateful to you all making sure that every single person has at least one rep represented. It really does make me feel like such a proud mama. (Super shoutout again to @Asarena, @MrBox , @The Pennifer , @Firesquids , @Coach , @BetsySundrop , @-Blue-, @azurill & @Chibi.Hoshi for repping my rep whether individually or in a group shot, or including me in your contest entry. I will cherish each and every one always!!!)

@Aniko @Alolan_Apples thank you both!

so long, and thanks for all the fish
I’m super late - but I wanted to congratulate all the nominees and winners for the contests and events! I absolutely love seeing how diverse and creative the entries are, even when working with the same prompts. The lego building was a refreshing new change, and I loved seeing all the delicious baked goods and desserts too! My highlight was as always the lineart colouring 
takes me back to my early school years when colouring pages were considered “homework” in first grade haha - take me back ;u;
I also want to express thanks for the nominations in the lineart colouring, my invitation and delectable delights! I feel honoured to have been chosen among so many fantastic entries. I’ve had a lot going on in my personal life during the fair unfortunately, so I feel like I was really distracted for a large portion of it. But participating has helped me take my mind off of things. I worked really hard on my mochi donuts and felt like I was going insane with the icing drying faster than I could stick on the sprinkles. And I sunk so many hours into colouring the lineart that it’s too embarrassing to share. So thank you again!
Last but not least I want to thank @Mokuren @Airysuit @Xara and @Flyffel for the amazing canvas crossing surprise art - it made me incredibly happy! I love all of them so much
thank you!

Thank you so much for the love the community showed my invitation, I'm in shock. Congratulations to all the winners, staff favorites, and nominees. I know it said that it gets harder to choose our favorites, but that's only because we as a community are only growing stronger in our own unique talents, and its an absolute honor to watch you all grow and succeed.
Thank you to the staff for another fantastic fair, your hard work and dedication never goes unnoticed. If there is anything I wished we got from the fair it would be a staff Magnificent Memories. I would love to hear your favorite memories here at TBT. Perhaps maybe at Twenty Years on The Bell Tree?
Thank you so much to @Foreverfox , @DaCoSim , and @Xara for the incredible drawings of canvas crossing! I adore them and appreciate it so much!!!

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!
A heartfelt thank you to the many members who were included in my entry: @Alolan_Apples, @Aquilla, @Mokuren, @DaCoSim, @dizzy bone, @Dunquixote, @Iris_T, @KittenNoir, @MattKimura, @Midoriya, @Mimi Cheems, @skarmoury, @Vhoop, @Xara, @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.
