Little Miss Sunshine - WINNER ANNOUNCED!!

[lalalegacy10]

Oh. Duh! Haha. I should of checked there. Thanks.

[tbpear16]

Not a problem! Now here are the entries, grouped together again:

Wiz8 // Tashy Ruperts

"Oh, hello there... I didn't really know what time you were coming. But at least I don't have to wait any longer. Please come in, me and Gramma have been working hard on our house to make it look respetable... respecable... re... res-pect-ab-le... hehe."
"Oh come in pet, I'll make you some tea."
"Thank-you gramma. See? My gramma loves her tea! She says all the drugs and alk-ee-hole can be replaced with a simple cup of tea. I don't like it that much, and I think I would need a lot more sugar if I started to like it!"


"I'm glad you like the tea, love. Please, sit down."
"Thank-you again gramma. Well... as you said before... I have to tell you about my family? Well, hm... I guess I have to start from the beginning. My gramma had one child, my mama. My mama grew up as a Businesswoman. I don't know what she did exactly, but she was worky. When I was five - eight, seven, six, THREE years ago - she was unmarried, but was going to have twin girls. She was going to call them Sunny and Summer, my favourite names. But she couldn't have them, and went to heaven. I never knew my daddy. But I have a few pictures of him. He was a very BIG businessman."


"So you see, it's only me and my gramma now. I'm going to be a famous artist when I'm older and I'm going to sell all my paintings and become rich and rich and my gramma will be rich and rich, too. But for now, her penny... pension, isn't enough. I've always wanted a puppy or kitty, but I'm alergic. If I could afford one I still wouldn't get it... oh well, I'm fine with pictures. Gramma is fraidy of mice and birds, so goldfish are our last resort. I still don't have any of those either, though!"


"Gramma, you should say something, too!"
"Oh, thank-you darling. Well, my real name isn't 'Gramma', of course. I'm Jennifer Ruperts, but all my friends at the Weight Watchers call me Jenny. I believe you asked Tashy, who was her favourite and least-favourite family member? Well, I guess I'm going to answer that one because I'm both. For two reasons! First, because I am the only family poor Tashy has at the moment, and second because when you live together forever, you can't always get along. I love her; she loves me. But we can fight over such silly things, but I suppose I spoil my darling baby-baby."
"My favourite thing about my family, is that my Gramma is always working hard and trying. I love her because she never gives up, for me!!!"
"Tashy has been through a lot, but she tries to stay as normal and average as possible. I don't think she can, she's too bright, cheerful, and glowing! I keep telling the dear, that she should try and try, and work and work, so she can be the best. Normal is hiding around and blending in. My Tashy should always reach high and go the extra mile, so she can be a success! Hehe, I'm sorry I gave such a little speech. She really is a good painter though, maybe she should go to some sort of art college? well, anywho, shall I go refill your tea?"


"One day, Gramma said she'd take me back to the Slishy Splat... oh, uh, what was it again, Gramma?"
"Splashy Slide Centre."
"Yeah, that, and she'd take me swimming again. She took me last year, for a holiday, and it was wonderful! The nearest swimming pool is waaaay far away, and we have to get on coaches and pay a lot to get in. It's worth it, now I can swim!"
"I admit, it's my favourite time of the year once I've saved up enough for us to have a good ol' time. Tashy's always wanted to go on a real holiday, it's a shame we can't afford one just yet. I think Disney Land is our first choice..."
"Oh Gramma, can we really go there??"
"We'll see, love. Now go fetch the nice person's coat. I think it's time they had to go."
"Okay, bye-bye judgey!"
"I hope to see you next round, pet."

Teresa // Blossom Lee
Hi! Want to pet my cat? This is Jade. We thought Jade was girl but she is really a he. We named him Jade when we thought he was a she but then decided not to change his name when we found out he was a girl. Isn't he pretty? He is my bestest friend. I can talk to him and play with him and pet him. But sometimes he still scratches the furniture and stuff.


Mommy made pasghetti for dinner tonight. I like pasghetti so she makes it a lot. After dinner I have to help clean off the table and help with dishes. I don't like doing the dishes. Mommy says maybe we will make cookies later.


Her friend Teresa moved in with us the other day because she needed a place to stay. She is new in town and doesn't have anywhere to live right now. She is nice-ok but I like it better when it is just me and Mommy and Jade. Maybe she won't stay for very long.


It is fun watching Mommy and Teresa play pool and listening to the jukebox in the evening after I have done my homework. But to tell the truth I am a little bit bored. I wish I could play pool too. *sigh*


Maybe I will go to bed now...

Bitsy // Alithiel Iirlanth
My name is Tylesh Iirlanth and I'm Alithiel's uncle. After the devastation of the War I knew it was past time to leave Faerie and the forest of NeverNever. My niece never really knew her parents as they were too heavily involved in politics to visit much. So she just stayed with me here in the forest. When they died she tried to hide her tears from me, but I knew. She's a brave girl, my Alithiel.

I think I might have pushed things though when I told her it was time to leave the forest. She put on a brave face, but I knew she was in love with NeverNever and as much of an adventure as the Borderlands offered, it would never be the same as the wonder of the forest. At that moment I knew that Alithiel was upset with me for making her leave, I just hoped she could realize that I was really doing this for her own good.



Bordertown was a bit of a shock, for all of us. It was the first time Relkaea and I had ever seen technology such as TVs and radios and motorcycles, though we had heard of some of it. For little Alithiel it was the first time she had ever seen a building, in NeverNever there was no need, but here the weather changes so rapidly and the people are not always as kind as the elves back home, so people create these constructs to protect themselves and provide shelter.

Relkaea was brilliant with Alithiel though it all and really smoothed the way. She was the one that got her involved in this wonderful beauty competition to learn about and appreciate humans and the world of the Real. When Alithiel went out on our balcony the first thing she noticed was, "There's no plants, no grass, no trees..." Relkaea stepped up and started showing her the hidden beauty that can be found in a city. When I started to see that look of wonder appear on Alithiel's face, I knew that Relkaea had gotten through to her. I'm glad those two are becoming so close.



I thought everything was going fine. We had settled into our apartment and Alithiel had begun to make friends with the local children. How wrong I was. I found her one day curled up in a closet crying.* My poor, brave Alithiel. She wanted to go home. War was brewing though, and I knew it wouldn't be safe.



She couldn't return to the magical forest of NeverNever, but we could create some of our own magic for her. Relkaea and I play instruments that weave magical spells in the forest. Here in Bordertown they work only when the wind is right. We were blessed that day. Relkaea and I took Alithiel up to the roof of our apartment and preformed for hours while she danced, feeling the rhythm with her feet and running her fingers through the magic in the air. I think this is easily her favorite thing about being an Iirlanth, only our family could ever rend magic from music so effortlessly.



She seemed much more at peace after that, but I could still see that she missed the forest. Together with a few local elves and humans we started to work on a little surprise for her. Combining technology and magic we created an environment that would be stable even in the uncertain waters of the Borderlands. We could not take Alithiel back to the forest, but we could bring some of the forest to her.



Even Alithiel could not believe it, not until she had seen it. Bushes and grass and trees from the world of the Faerie combined with lighting and fertilizer and sprinkler systems from the world of the Real. Alithiel kept saying over and over, "I can't believe it... I just can't believe it!" But there it was. On the border where magic and technology meet, anything is possible.

Cel // Leah Jones

Hi Mr and Mrs the judges. How are you since last time? So, mummy told me that I should be a bit more talkative with you but you know it's really hard for me because I'm really very shy and... Anyway, mummy told me that I should try and find something to concentrate on while talking to you to ease the stress a bit. As this round is about my family, I thought I would show you my favorite family pictures, I hope it's okay with you...


So this is my family... The picture has been taken the day we moved into this house
On the right is my daddy. His name is Alex. He used to play guitar in a band but stopped after he met my mummy. Now he's looking for a job and his modeling a bit in the meantmie. Next to him is my mummy, Cel. You probably heard of her, she's a pretty famous actress. She played in many Legacies, the most known being Swiffner's Ancient Mythology. In mummy's arms is my baby brother, Lukas...


I love my baby brother a lot and I spend most of my free time playing with him. Mummy says that because he's younger than me, I must help him becoming a big boy and that I should always be here for him. He's a very kind and intelligent boy so it won't be a problem I think. I can't wait until he's a bit older so I'd be able to read my favorite stories to him...


But you know I haven't always been happy about having a baby brother... When Lukas was born, I was really sad because I was afraid my mummy and daddy would love him more than me. Especially my daddy, he was so happy to have a son... And I would have hated it if my daddy stopped loving me because he's the best daddy in the world you know. But mummy found the words to reassure me. She said that if I ever wanted to know how much my daddy loves me I just have to count the hours he spends playing dolls with me.


Now that I have understanded, no understood! that my parents love me and Lukas all the same but in different ways, I'm a very happy little girl.
I'm so proud of growing up in such a loving family
That's it, you met my family and woah... I did talk a lot, didn't I?
Well until next time... maybe!

roxyrox // Rosa Marlow
Hi there, 'member me? Rosa Marlow? Well it's been quite awhile since you were here last. Lots of things have happend, like for example, my baby brother Ryan became 1 year old! Now I get to play with him even more! Also, we have a new family member that isn't a sibling! But, I'll get to that later.


Well here's the little cutie himself! Isn't he adorable? I was playing outside with him in the garden and he kept making cute poses so I ran inside to get the camara. Asides from painting I also like to take pictures! I love this picture so much that I brought it to school and taped it inside my locker!


You are probably thinking, well who's this? She is my evil dim-witted cousin Tiffany. She has to live with us for a year 'cause her mom and dad are in the military and she had no where else to stay. She is the meanest, dumbest, person I have ever met! She was checking herself out in the mirror (which, she does for 24/7) and she said she looked so gorgous that I just had to take a picture of her. She may look all pretty and sweet, but trust me, under that perfectly blow dried hair lies tiny little horns!


I love my mom a lot, she is really supportive of my paintings! See how she's cheering for me? My mom is the best mom in the whole world, she always put my needs and wants before hers, I feel so thankful for everything that she does!


This is my daddy. He is quite the joker, like me, he doesn't really like Tiffany either (he calls her a spoiled little brat) so he is always playing pranks on her. My mom says that my daddy is so funny, that he could make the Pope laugh! Now, what I want to know is, who the heck is the Pope? Anyways, I like to snuggle with my dad 'cause he's always really warm. We love to watch action movies and CSI together.


Well that's my family, they may not be perfect but I love everyone! (Yes, even Tiffany)

Abby // Tyresha Wong


Tyresha was adopted by an American Family, when she was 3 years old. But what happened before then? Well, she was born to a 14 year old Girl, in China. A girl who didnt want her. With the one child policy, her mother didnt want to "waste" her one child, by being 14. So she gave her up for adoption 2 months after she was born. Tyresha dosnt even know her name. She spent the first three years of her life in an orphanage, untill finally. A girl called Jenny Smith adopted her. But Tyresha kept her last name, Wong. But, you'd think she'd be happy. But she isnt, she loves Jenny and all. But she wants to go back to china. Find her heritage...her home. Her mum.



Okay, Abby i'll take over from here. Hey Guys! Its Tyresha again. This is my adoptive mom, Jenny. Shes really nice to me. She lets me have whatever i want, because she says im special. I dont think so. I wasnt so special to my real mommy was i? She dosnt have any kids, or a husband. So its just me and her. Some people give us strange looks, because shes white, and i'm Chinese. I just laugh, i dont care. I know shes the closest thing to a mother i'd ever get. But i still call her Jenny, as ive always known she isnt my mom.



Because i dont have any siblings, Jenny lets me have a friend over nearly all the time. There is this girl called Brittany, my neighbour, shes my best friend. Shes almost like a sister to me. We do everything together!



I geuss i havnt got much of a family to show you, its just me and Jenny. But that'll all change soon. I'm going to find my past. My mom, and dad. I geuss. But i'll love Jenny always and forever. I geuss, I geuss shes my Mom.



*yawns* Well, i'm tired now. I geuss i'm going to go and have a lie down! I hope you've enjoyed your tour around my "family"! Bye!

Strangel // Sheba Tellerman-Jarvis

Woof!
Hi! It's me again, Sheba Tellerman-Jarvis! Today has been a big day. We got a new family member, her name is Sasha. Daddy says she's important because someday she'll be giving us lots of puppies and because she's going to keep us safe from burglars. I love her because her hair is long and soft. I guess I should tell you about the rest of my family, too, and their "lessons of life".


My daddy's name is Brendan Jarvis, he's the Mayor and he rides a helecopter to work!
Daddy says families should always have at least one meal together a day. He always sits at the head of the table, me and Opal sit next to him, and Mommy sits next to one of us. Usually, she sits next to me, because she knows I try to hide anything green under my napkin. My sister, miss goody two-shoes, always eats her vegetables.
I hate salmon..


My sister, Opal, is really my twin.. but we're totally different. She never likes to play, she's always too busy reading and painting, and she's so nice it's gross.
Anyway, we went to the dog park today so Sasha could run around and play with other dogs and we could talk to the neighbors, and Opal caught her chasing the ducks from the pond! When they flew away, she went down to the water and started to wade in, but Opal got her out. She says wet dogs and cars are a bad idea.


Mommy says when she met Daddy, her name was Janice Tellerman, then she married my Daddy and now her name is Jan Tellerman-Jarvis. They both say me and Opal are their little water babies. When I asked Mommy what that meant, she just gave me this funny, weird smile and said something about hottubs to Daddy. I don't get it.. What does a hottub have to do with fish?
My mommy says "Laughter is the best medicine".. I don't know what that means, and I HATE drinking my cough syrup, but I know my friends' parents don't laugh when they pour soap in the Founders' Museum fountain! Mommy says someday our pictures will be up inside, and that someday they will move into the Founders' Mausoleeeeum, but she won't tell me what that is. Every time I ask, she says she'll explain what it is "someday". WHY doesn't "someday" ever get here?


Yup. That's my family. I love my family!

..even my sister.

kittylee128 // Ally Felona


Hi it's me again, Ally Felona.
When I heard we got to talk about our familes this is round I was really excited because I have such a wonderful family, but I was also kind of upset because my daddy's not around for me to show you .... but thats okay I have plenty of pictures of him



Okay, these are my twin brothers Zac (right) and Craig (left). They were born after my dad died. My mum was only 3 weeks pregnant so they are really lucky to be here. I love my brothers because they are soooo cute and really fun to play with. There are downsides to them like when they pull my hair and throw things at me but I forgive them.



These are my parents. My dad (John) and my mum (Anabelle). I remember that they were really happy together, always laughing and joking around it always made me smile too. I really like this photo because my mum told me that the photu.. no photographer told them to try not to smile but gave up because my dad kept laughing It shows how fun he was. If you asked me my favourite family member I couldn't chose between my mum and dad so I'll tell you a bit about them both ...



This is me and my dad. We dressed up as fairies and he took me down to the city even though he looked like a fairy!! It was really, really funny. We went in a photo machine and got this picture taken. But I remember a man called umm ... thats it Komei being real cross at my daddy because we took so long.
My dads job was a police chopper, oops I mean copper. He loved his job and always got to work on time except once when I was sick. I remember him telling me he loves his job because when he gets paid he can look after me and mum. One day daddy didn't come home .. mum said he had fallen off his motorbike, that was the worst day of my life.



This is my mum, you met her last time. This is my favourite photo of her because even though I had fallen asleep she read the rest of the story. It reminds me how much she cares about me and that she loves me very much. My mums job is an artist. She doesn't go to work much because she needs to look after me and my brothers but she tries her best. When she goes to work her friend Derek comes and looks after us. I love my mums paintings she is very good. She painted a picture of me once. She hung it on her bedroom wall.

So thats my family. I hope you liked them I sure do ...
Before I go I would like to thank the judges for your lovely comments about me!
'Till next time
Ally Felona

popo2200 // Alicia Night


Hey it's me, Alicia Night, again. I got a new look. Some of my neighbors donated money after seeing me in the competition. Not enough to get us out of poverty though. My mom got a new look as well. Well I should get on to my family.



Well here is an old pic of my Mom and I. My Mom is named Mary. She is unemployed and helps homeschool me. She is my bestest friend ever. I only know about three other children. Two of them are dogs so my Mom is who I spend the most time with.



This is my cat, Leo. He is older than me! Can you believe that? Like I said before, we found him a little after my father and twin brother's death. He is so cute. Did I mention he has two different colored eyes?



This is us all together. Leo was trying to take a nap and wasn't looking at the camera. My neighbor helped with this picture. My mom says her new look makes her more motherly. As for who I love the most in My family, It's my Mom all the way. I don't really have anyone I Don't like. But Leo does get a bit annoying when he wants food. Well, My Mom and I are going out to a celebration dinner in hope I get through. Bye for now!

ChickenSensei // May Belle Wellington

Hey guys! It's May Belle Wellington! Remember me from last time? Good! Today I was running around my house and pressing buttons on the new di-gee-tul camera I got for Christmas! I took a bunch of pictures of my family.

This is me helping my sister get ready for her 'homecoming' dance! She says she's going to dance with a boy! That's ickkkkyyy! But I think in this picture she looks really purdy with her lonnggg curly hair. I was helping her by telling her if she lokoed good or not - I feel so important! My older sister Annabel is the BEST older sister in the history of the WORLD!


This is a picture I took of my daddy - sneaking a birthday cupcake that for mommy that he made! He wasn't supposed to take any cupcakes before mommy had her party! He's so silly!

But then, he told me that if I didn't tell mommy that he snuck a cupcake, he'd give me a dollar! Imagine that! One WHOLE dollar! I'm going to buy a pony with that money!

I love my daddy. He's so silly and funny! He makes everyone laugh!


I caught mommy on her way to the fridge, right after dad finished shoving his cupcake into his mouth and running off! I think that she was trying to sneak a cupcake, too! Uh oh! Mommy and Daddy are in *trouble*!

Oh, and mommy can't cook. She once tried to make a salad, and she tried to be creeeeativvve and cooked it! We ordered pizza that night...!


I found a cool button on my cam-ee-ruh that lets me time how long it is because it goes 'click', so I took a picture of me and my whole family around and in the pool!

I love my entire crazy family!

silly_pagan_lady // Georgia Curlong
Hello again! It's me, Georgia Curlong! *giggle* I have been trying to get these pictures developed, I hope they came out ok. Below is a picture of me and my family hanging out together. I am playing red hands with my sister, Sarah. She may look older than me, but don't let it fool ya! She is my little sister, she has a growth problem and looks older than me. My mom is reading, she likes to do that alot and Dad is reading too, but he's learning how to do stuff.



Then, there's me and my family eating. I set the camera up outside so we would be able to act naturally. It was pretty cool! I was expecting my sister to start a food fight, but she just rambled on about school.



My Dad is my favorite. He takes me out to icecream alot and lets me talk about whatever I want. He gets me alotta stuff too. I love playing video games and he gets me the kind I like, the racing ones.



My mom is my least favorite family member. She thinks of the environment alot of the time instead of me or my sister. Once she was working so hard on organizing some kind of tree party and fell asleep on the couch next to me.



She burned some food in the kitchen and almost burned down the whole house. Luckily there was a fireman nearby, but he almost died! The flames surrounded him but he kept at it to save our lives.



He left a note telling us what happened so we wouldn't worry. I would have liked to have gotten a picture with him. I got a picture of the fire, 'cause I was waiting for my sister to sneak in and steal a cookie before dinner... *giggle* that would have been a funny photo.
___________

puppylove55 // Geneva Rachea
This is my mom and her fiance, Brandon. Actually, I'm adopted, but she feels like a mom to me. Clara is only 25, and she's really cool. She takes really good care of me, and she tells me stories every night, and she loves me so much it almost hurts!


This picture I took with mom's fancy camera. I was hiding behind the couch, and they didn't even know I was there! Mom and Brandon are such a sweet couple. They love eachother a bunch. Brandon is like a dad to me! He's only in college though. Isn't it illegal for someone in college to get married to an adult? If it is don't tell anyone. I don't want them to get in trouble.


Last week, mom bought Joey for me! He's only a couple weeks old, and he's from the shelter. They won't know what kind he is 'till he gets bigger. I love him to pieces!


Oh! I almost forgot! Yesterday, Clara told me the best news in the world! I'm getting a little brother or sister! At first I didn't want a little brother or sister. But Clara told me that she would love both of us equaly. I really hope it's a girl. I really, really want a little sister. But Brandon told me that they aren't going to know if it's a boy or a girl until it's born.

SOULANGEL980 // Gloria Smithson

This is my little cozy family. It's just mom, dad, Rosie and I. This is the last hollidays picture. We had it at our house. There weren't many people coming but we still had a great time. As you can see right here, we are a close little bundle. We aren't extravagant or anything, just your little average happy family. I'm very lucky to have them.


This is my mom, Erin. She is just the greatest. She always gives Rosie and I all the little things, the little gestures that can keep us happy for the whole day. Sometimes, when she sings me my bed time song, I can't help to think that she looks like an angel, even if she doesn't really sound like one *giggles*.


This is my dad, Albert, and he is also amazing, but in different ways. He is very smart and pays a lot of attention to us and teaches us all the rights and wrongs in life. He is also a great help with homeworks and with him at home there is rarely a question unanswered. If he doesn't know it, he'll go find it.


That's my little sister, Rosie. I play with her all the time. She is so cute. Mom says I take her a little too much like a doll and that I'll end up like her second mom instead of her big sister, but I don't mind.


Well this one isn't really related but he's still family. He must be one of my best friend and I play a lot with him. He's called Pooffy, though I think you can see why *giggles*.

Well, that's my family and I hope you like them as much as I do.

[tick]

I dont want to be a pest but are you done putting all the entrys up...because it dosent say you are adding any more....and mines not there....I was the first one so its probably withen the first few since we started the second round.....well ya

[seqkat]

Done my judgings (hopefully)- and tickish, I found and judged your entry too, dw. I'm sure tbpear'll put it on as soon as possible.

Just wanted to take this time to congratulate everyone, it was hard taking points off anywhere, everyone's entries were so good, and all so different!

[Bitsy]

Seqkat, and the rest of the judges too, just so you know Soulangel980 also is not listed. Their entry is here.

[Wiz8]

They all look tough to judge. ;D

[Strangel]

LOL Two of the pics on my entry got swapped.. The Prank At Founder's Hall picture is in the slot for Dinner Together and vice versa.

[silly_pagan_lady]

I can't wait until the judging finishes... I am excited!

[seqkat]

Oh yeah Strangel! I did not notice that. Partly because I judged after reading each entry about three times, to make sure, so I just automatically put the right picture with the right words.

And I've added SoulAngel, so mine are done! I'm kind of excited to see everyone's entries for the next rounds now!

[Wiz8]

Now to wait for the other judge(s)!

[silly_pagan_lady]

*chants* judges! judges! *stops and thinks 'why am I chanting THAT?'* sorry...

[Wiz8]

LOL.

[Bitsy]

Are there going to be eliminations this round?

[tbpear16]

There were going to be, but 2 people dropped out and 3 people missed the deadline so I don't know! I'll get back to you guys as soon as I can.

I'm sorry i missed you two. I haven't been getting much sleep lately.

[Wiz8]

You can do six rounds, where the first four (including this one) elminate 3 people. Then eliminate one... eliminate the second place... the end. Or something else.

[Kittylee]

Oooooooooooooooooo Judging!!

[Wiz8]

XD Yes.

[Abby]

Good Luck!

[silly_pagan_lady]

I don't know what to do with myself... i am so excited!

[Kittylee]

lol same pagan *lol*
And just wondering is pagan from a game called theif perhaps??
