The Forestry Forum

This year I think we will keep it simple. No puzzles, no games, no tricks, no searches.  :)  Entering the contest will be something that most any member can do.

This year I want to create a Christmas Album.

To enter, I need you to EMAIL me one one photo accompanied by a Christmas message. No optimization of the photo is necessary, I will take care of that. The photos must be Christmas related. It can be of your tree, or of your home, or your pets, or your Family, or anything that you think would be good to include in our "Album". Please also include a message to put with your photo. Everyone that does this will get their name put in the hat for the random drawing on Christmas Eve. I will post the names of the winners on Christmas Day.

To Enter you MUST do these things:

• I must have your entry, using Forum time, by midnight December 20th
• The Email subject must be: FORESTRY FORUM CHRISTMAS CONTEST.
  
• Attach your Photo to the email

In the Body of the Email you must include:

• Your full name and mailing address
• YOUR FORUM USERNAME!!!
• The Christmas message that you would like to include with your photo.



• SEND EMAIL TO trees@forestryforum.com

I reserve the right to add to this contest a special prize for a special reason with special rules.

Any registered forum member is eligible to win except Tammy and I.

Some of your fellow members are admins and sponsors and they will be included in this contest. I want to see photos from them as well!!  :) If you have mutiple family members as members you can enter each member.

NO! :D    I dont have ANYBODY I can share that with...

You can start getting registered anytime! The sooner the better at least for me.  :D   We should have some pretty good prizes again...

Someone's gonna have a full mail box soon me thinks....

I always tell folks that I am a casualty of the technolgical revolution. Looks like I need to learn how to upload stuff from the digital camera in the next couple weeks and see if you can or can't teach an old dog new tricks. Best wishes to all at this special time of year.

Jeff, sending one you CAN use, is it my first, or my third? ::)

Hehehe..

Fine by me!

The fewer that enter the BETTER CHANCE THERE IS FOR THOSE OF US WHO GOT OFF OUR Dunkey's!

eheheh

asy :D

*let's hope that gets a few moving...

I think, contest or not, that this is the coolest way to wish all our friends a Merry Christmas!  I enjoy looking over the pictures and messages about twice everyday.  There are decorations, adorable children, cute dogs, pictures of items that mean a lot, and some breath taking outdoor shots.

Thanks Boss!   8)   

Hey! I sent in a certifiable (as in crazy) Costa Rican snowman! What more do you want?  ::)

Do you have any idea how hard that was to find?! (Actually it is my next door neighbor...)

I have really enjoyed seeing what people have sent in.

You must have patience young grasshopper ;D Finally got mine in once I figured out how to work this new digital doomahickey. The I had to find the file the pic was in so I could attach it. Hey I'm computer illiterate o.k. :D :D :D

Jeff

You will probably get the same last minute rush the IRS gets at tax time. :D 

  Well I finally had time today to take a pic and send it in ... hope it has all you need . Sorry for beeing so late . I had the camera with me the other day , but Murphy got messed up with me ...Just as I found something of interest to take a pic of  8)  the batteries needed charging  :o ::)  no stores around .

Marcel I got you added and several other folks as well. If ya'll haven't looked at the gallery in awhile, we are starting to get quite a few entries.

I had that picture sitting by the back door for about a week now.  No computer hooked up at my place yet, so I had to take it along to my parents' house to scan.  That's actually their dog, Sandy.  I put that hat on Maya the other week and she hid under the table so I couldn't snap a picture  :D

 Thanks Jeff . I just been so busy lately ... and with the snow and the plowing ... just did not come together to get a pic . Would of had a nice one had the camera batteries been cooperating .  ::)

  I just tried to enter a picture for the contest . I hope the picture came thru okay .   it is the first email with an attachment I have ever done . I had the wife coaching me thru it . you can imagin the harassment I had to endure with that .

WVhillbilly

You did OK, you can see it in the gallery. Its upside down and a little crooked but it made it. :D ;)

Lots of really cool photos there..

This was a great idea Boss!

Can we do it again next year???

Oh, ye of little faith . . .  :D

I really have enjoyed looking at all the neat pictures. This is so cool!  smiley_christmas

Ok I tried again.  2 pics as well, someone has to hold the camera. 

Yeah those are some great pics in the alblum.

Theres still Time! Almost an hour!  I just added two more. Oakimac and STAMP must be trying to keep me up late. :D  Long as the email is timestamped before Midnight tonight, I'll accept it (Long as it meets entry criteria that is).

I was holdin' out for a picture of the brand  new grandkid.   :)  But da kid is holdin' out on us.  :-\  Maybe tomorrow?   ???

The 'kid' has less than an hour.

The flying pig!   Oh thats hilarious.  Love the antlers. 

We have a new favorite Christmas movie, Olive, The other reindeer.  It'll crack ya up every time.  I see a new movie , porky the Christmas pig.  Coming to screen near you in 2006.

Jeff B - thanks for letting me in at the last minute!   Literally, the last minute!

Jim

 :D  You had a FEW left: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 11:31 PM

Sure like the way the album's coming together.  It's worth opening a lot of the pics to get the full effect of the scenery and the full cuteness factor of the kids.   Much of my family's looks only improve with application of medicinal libations........... ;D
