Welcome to JHDโs first forum contest- Best Easter Bonnet Creation! Contest will run through 10:00pm on APRIL 21, 2022 (UTC) HOW IT WORKSMake a REAL, Spring/Easter hat using anything you want (some examples are flowers, chickens, eggs and rabbits, but it does not have to include these). The hat must be made by you, be wearable by a human or pet, and cannot be an internet photo or anything that is photoshopped. (You or your cat do not need to wear your hat in the picture, lol). Make sure your hat is appropriate and does not violate any forum rules. Take a photograph of your creation. Your picture must include your farm in the shot. This requires you to use two devices. If you do not have an extra device to be able to do both, then you must include your hand in the picture in some way (giving a thumb's up, pointing, waving...anything like that, but your hand needs to be in there). Post your image on this thread to enter the contest. The image quality is better using an image hosting site. This is the one I use with instructions: Go to postimages.orgTap "Choose Image"Select the image from your device and tap "Done" (in upper rt corner) Your image will upload and you will see various links when you scroll down. (You don't need to sign in or create an acct) Copy the link in the "Hotlink to forums" area. Paste that link in your post. (It will only show the link until the post is submitted, then will show the image). You can see other uploading image options here: justhayday.boards.net/post/1441/threadjusthayday.boards.net/post/23217/threadOnce the deadline is reached, the JHD Staff will decide on the winners! RULES-One entry per member. -Submit your entry as stated above by 10:00pm on April 21, 2022 (UTC). Late submissions will not be considered. -JHD staff and Supercell employees/volunteers are not eligible to enter. PRIZES Diamonds will be given to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners as follows: 1st Place- 250 Diamonds 2nd Place- 150 Diamonds 3rd Place- 100 Diamonds *Note- Supercell Staff have graciously agreed to supply and distribute contest prizes. Winners with questions about their prizes should direct all inquiries solely to them. We look forward to seeing all of your fabulous (and funny is always good) creations! Good Luck everyone! * This first competition on the JHD Forum is dedicated to our old friend, Pet, who organised contests on the Supercell Forum. She passed away long before her time, and continues to be missed by those who knew and loved her.

BauldersGate , have you seen this? ๐๐ Wonder why a certain forum Guinea Pig just sprang to mindโฆ ๐ This was actually just announced here on the General Discussion Board. The post was being drafted elsewhere (which accounts for the time of the post you see) and moved here when finalized. So you actually caught it right away! Hope you will enter!

Dear farmer, in my opinion it's a pity the reaction to this event is that little, as there are many diamonds to gain. And think, it's the first event of that kind. I'm afraid if contribution won't increase it's not gonna happen that such events will occur more often. As for me I won't participate because I'm not very gifted for such stuff. I know that, and so I hope that more beautiful beautiful creations will follow. Good luck everyone!

I not only read all the contests put on by Pet, but participated in some of them as well. I noticed that when it came to contests that required "making" something, it took a bit longer, so we may not see many entries this soon (that's why the contest duration is 3 weeks).
I do hope that we will see more awesome creations though!

The deadline is April 21, which is still two weeks away. I do hope to see many more, too (and to make one of some sort), but I think if others are crazy busy like me, itโll just take some time.
I donโt sew and since Iโm not teaching preschool anymore I donโt have a house full of art supplies anymore lol, so Iโll have to think a little longer.
But donโt be afraid to participate if you can Donkeyfanโcreativity counts, too! ๐ I see how you love decorating and arranging your farm, so Iโm guessing you would be great at this! (Pleaseโdonโt feel pressured if youโre not comfortable, just giving some encouragement.) ๐๐
(Edit: and I should have read Tahoeโs post before responding to Donkeyfanโs because I pretty much just said what she did, lol.)

A decent glue and scraps of odd things you probably have in your house will do wonders when creating your Easter Bonnet. ๐

LOL, Momscar. I think you just described the process of upcycling. ;-)
The bonus is we may use our Easter Bonnets for Halloween too.

Funny story... I told my husband about this contest and he laughed and said โ you could just put an Easter basket on your headโ. What he didnโt know is that when I was in kindergarten our teacher sent a note home asking the momโs to make an Easter hat for us to wear in an Easter parade. My mom took an Easter basket, decorated it with flowers and plastic eggs and put it on my head. I looked awesome ( or so I thought since I was only 5). The day of the parade, in a class of 25 kids, only 3 of us brought hats. The teacher had us put on our hats and the three of us marched around the room while she played the song โEaster paradeโ ๐ต๐ต๐ต in your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it ๐ต๐ต๐ต. The other kids just stared at us. Maybe laughed a bit to. My husband said they all ditched their hats on the school bus lol. So here I am all these years later waiting for those other two kids to show up with their hats ! In the meantime can someone please comment about my hat and how awesome I look. Something other than โ I sure hope someone else entersโ ๐๐๐

Winston, I love your hat and I love the quilt in your craft room! Clearly, you are talented.
All those other kids probably waited until the night before or morning of to tell their moms they need a hat.

Just kidding. ;-) If no one else enters the contest, then I'd like to suggest winston be awarded first place, second place, and third place. ==LynnK== EDIT: Since we're discussing Easter hats, I'm reminded of the ones worn by Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in the movie "Easter Parade".

I crocheted the hat, then decorated it with ribbons, lace, beads, etc. Itโs too small for me, but it would fit a small pet. (My only pets are digital, and it is obviously too big for any of them!) The first thing I thought of when I first read this contest post, was the song from the movie โ Easter Paradeโ that Lynn referenced above.

When I was searching Easter bonnet images to include in the OP, I saw some really hilarious ones people were wearing in the New York Easter Parade. One couple wore matching upside-down baskets decorated with everything "Easter" you could imagine on top! My apologies for neglecting to comment on your hat. It's awesome! Very creative! And just so you know, I speak both cat and dog, and I believe that Winston's expression is trying to tell you that he SOOOOOO wants to wear that hat! (No biscuits required!). Nice job. Thank you for entering!

We are in the midst of a kitchen redo, and I can't even find my mind to think about creating anything! Lol
I didn't get to go to kindergarten- back in my time it was for the ummmm.... more "financially comfortable "... but in 1st grade we made hats in class out of construction paper... more like a 1 foot tall cylinder! Decorated with rick-rack, ribbons, and cupcake paper flowers! Had the parade through school with the Easter Parade ๐ต ๐ถ
Winston has a beautiful hat! ๐
I love the crochet, Farmgirl! I think it would be beautiful to starch really stiff and pin a small sachet inside and hang it on a wall to show off!

Iโve also made them for gifts, package decorations, and Xmas tree decorations.

Testing Itโs kind of big, but it works. I have one with kid wearing it (top of his head is visible) instead of the sheep. Canโt get the farm in it, because I took the picture with the same device. Will try to fuss with that a bit.
