News and Updates:
Only four entries in the contest. They will be posted sometime in the next week. I am not sure when. But it will be a couple of months before I can pay anyone anything that I owe them. I have had some real life stuff come up that is so far more important than anything on here is.I have a son who is Autistic, and he has yet two other problems that I have to fix. According to Children's Hospital in my area, it is common and everyone is born with it, just 90% of us never know that we have a pocket of skin in our throat that has a small cyst in it. Nothing to do with cancer or anything like that. But my son got an infection in his and it swelled up. Look like he tried to swallow a golf ball and it got stuck in his neck. And he has a hole in his ear drum that is going to need to be surgically fixed as well. And I am on a limited amount of money each month. So for a few months, I won't be able to pay anyone any of the subs that I owe.
What I Owe and to who:
BlazingChaos 6 months of 12 paid.---Owe a six month payment.
Missvirginia 6 months of 9 paid.---Owe a three month payment.
iAmoret To be announced.
Cyren-Nalini To be announced.

InternetKnight To be announced
Sorry for the trouble everyone. But taking care of my son takes preference over anything to do with DA. Give me a couple of months and I will be able to start doing it again.
Sadly I only got three people that entered my Independence Contest. I had SO MANY of you saying how art only isn't fair, that some photomanipulators couldn't draw whatever and so I held an Independence contest that is officially over. I will announce the winners in just a few days.
Also in a few more days I will have the last payment for Missvirginia and one more for BlazingChaos and next month I will start on the payments for subs to the three that entered the contest.
Also in other news, for those of you that do still actually read my journals, I am going to be stepping away from this one for a few weeks, well actually, I am going to go inactive on ALL my groups for a few weeks, so that I can get FULLY organized, go through the featured folder here and sort ti out, do the same basic thing on a few others. And I want to really get back into writing THOF and doing stuff for it. So I please ask, that unless you are trying to ask the group a question, send me a personal note to my name LKHanamura otherwise please just wait until I have the time to look into it.
Okay new update on the contest. I am going to add a new element to the contest and I am going to extend it two weeks so that gives others time. SCROLL DOWN TO THE CONTEST RULES! ON DOWN YOU WILL SEE IT.
Payments made on subs for art valentines contest.
BlazingChaos 3 months of 12 paid.
Missvirginia 6 months of 9 paid.
BlazeImpact 6 month sub for contest paid in full.
Magzey99 3 month sub for contest paid in full.
Is anyone else going to join my photomanip contest? There is another full month left to get something in. It DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ABOUT THE AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE! The theme is Independence. It is whatever that means to you, your countries or peoples independence. I do wish that others would join it. It will end on August 1, 2012.
In other news, I will be giving out the second part of the subs that I owe to the last three people this coming Monday.
Also to those of you that are horse artists out there, been looking for someone to get a commission from? Check out :iconshinnymane1: She is an awesome artist and infact did the art in my journal for LKHanamura for me as a commission. Check her out!
Updates in what has been paid by me to past contest winners:
BlazingChaos 3 months of 12 paid.
Missvirginia 3 months of 9 paid.
BlazeImpact 3 months of 6 paid.
Magzey99 3 month sub for contest paid in full.
The new contest is about to start! Scroll on down for details about the contest. And on another note, I am sorry but the way that the money is going this month, I didn't get as much as I thought that I would get. So I will not be able to give everyone the subs that I still owe them from 4 months ago. But I will give you all, 1st through 4th places will get a three month sub this month. Each month from now on I will give you all that I still owe, for the next four months, a 3 month sub.

Whatever you want so long as it is an Independence them! That contest will officialy start on June 1, 2012 and will run through July 4th, 2012.
First and foremost I would like to say it here as well, Stephanie-inlove thank you for all your work that you did when this group was still just a baby so to speak. I know it would not be nearly as big as it is now if not for your help when it started it out. If you ever want your spot as co-founder back then just say something and it is yours! Thank you so much for all your help.
Well the other day i updated and said that i was having trouble with my GIMP and trying to use the colorize and what not. So two days go I downloaded GIMP 2.8 and have been doing it every since. I must say that there are no problems so far with it either. According to GIMP.org there is a stable version of 2.8 also. I am on my ipod now so I can not give the link but I will update again later with the link but if you go to this site http:/www.gimp.org and click on the downloads page you will find the link to he stable one.
Is it just me or is everyone else out there having problems with GIMP2.6 right now? All day yesterday I was playing with the tutorial that Missvirginia did about the stary night sky and it worked great. Today, no matter what option I choose, anything under the dropbox for Color, the Colorize, Hue, threshold, all of it soon as I click on it, GIMP stops working the just closes on me. Anyone else out there having this problem?
said that if BronzeHalo told her that she could That she would convert her tutorial on how to do a stary sky with clouds of different colors and what not.BronzeHalo's tutorial is here: bronzehalo.deviantart.com/art/…
Missvirginia's tutorial is here: missvirginia.deviantart.com/ar…
I can't wait to try it out and thought that the rest of you in GIMP world would want to also!
In each section, each time it is updated by whoever, will have the
symbol next to it. The old entry will have the symbol deleted off of it as well.Right now in news and updates, the Rules will be posted tomorrow. And I have a question for all you GIMPers out there that really do read the journals. First off, BronzeHalo uses photoshop and did this tutorial on how to make these sorts of skies and what not: bronzehalo.deviantart.com/art/… question to the wonderful community of GIMP is does anyone know how to do this in GIMP? Or at least tell me how I change the color of the clouds in the "Render/Different Clouds" part of GIMP.
