This looks great postaldarkness! They only little change I'd make would be in how you word the deadline. I think most people would simply put it as Midnight on the 8th and Midnight on the 14th... Or maybe it's just me. :)

[postaldarkness]

Done and done!

[camoxx3]

Yay! I can't wait to get started. Brainstorming starts.... NOW!
:D

[jsedai_77]

this is the sad part....I can't do the challenges...
this is the happy part...I get to see them all before you!!
LOL
happy sewing everyone!!

[shadesofgrey.]

yay! i'm so happy these are posted! :)
thanks!

[postaldarkness]

Im just gonna continue bumping this thread until it gets stickied. Who can sticky things anyhow?

[Rainshadow]

Ooh, the hair accessory sounds like a must.

[merin]

I'm so excited to judge this. : D

[goofipinay]

I used to bump my thread til it got stickied

[Addie_Marie]

This is awesome! I'm definitely participating. Is LadyJane still the "Tim Gunn" of the project?

[jsedai_77]

[postaldarkness]

bumpdydump

[creative_license]

[Elizabeth.K.]

ummmmmmm who do we send the pics to ?

[postaldarkness]

After you message Tomsawyer to let her know you wanna join up, just send the pictures to projectthreadbanger@gmail.com .
For more info on it go to the links at the top of the original post.

[postaldarkness]

burrrrrrrmp

[postaldarkness]

lol lol lol

[Spendthrift Sigh]

Hey, do we need to PM TomSawyer each month to sign up for challenges or do you only have to sign up once?

[Addie_Marie]

Pretty sure you only have to sign up once. Then you're on the judge's list and you can participate in all the challenges you want, and then you judge when your turn comes around.

[postaldarkness]

yuppers

[postaldarkness]

I think we need more active mods.

[jsedai_77]

I agree...or at least 2 mods per board..that way if one person is too busy with life there is a back up

[postaldarkness]

surrrreously

[nepherym]

Noob question time: how many entries can we submit per challenge? I've got way too many ideas to just make one thing. O.O

[postaldarkness]

Just one but it can have multiple elements. Like for the long challenge that could be a one piece nightie or a two piece top and bottom set, etc. As long as its one cohesive outfit its fine, it all has to be submitted in one message though. So only one entry per person. Yay for more people joining PTB!

[veggisen]

Whats pajamas? Nightclothes, my English isnt very good, Im norwegian...

[jsedai_77]

Whats pajamas? Nightclothes, my English isnt very good, Im norwegian...

yes nightclothes...stuff you wear while you're sleeping.

[Lizen]

I agree...or at least 2 mods per board..that way if one person is too busy with life there is a back up
Especially this one... I think it's fair to say it's *probabaly* the busiest?

I'm still thinking about what to do... but as long as I have enough time I'll enter for sure. Things have been super busy lately though :(

[postaldarkness]

woooooot!

[jsedai_77]

I love postaldarkness's random shouts!!
man I wish I knew some more Onomatopoeia....cause then I could type cool random stuff too!!

[Miss_Gagarin]

yes nightclothes...stuff you wear while you're sleeping.

What if I don't wear anything when I sleep? Should I present a naked me as a project?? :p:p:p:p:p

[nepherym]

What if I don't wear anything when I sleep? Should I present a naked me as a project?? :p:p:p:p:p

Aw crap, well I'm out. >.<

[jsedai_77]

What if I don't wear anything when I sleep? Should I present a naked me as a project?? :p:p:p:p:p

as soon as I posted this I thought of this...cause I don't sleep in jammies either....but I do have them for when I get up and need to leave my bedroom (with 3 kids you can't just walk around without them :( )
so since we have to be G rated NO NAKED time!! LOL

[The Angry Hippie]

what if it's like softcore naked.... like the corner of a pilow could cover the nips and maybe a ruffled unmade sheet could obstruct the bearded dragon

[jsedai_77]

what if it's like softcore naked.... like the corner of a pilow could cover the nips and maybe a ruffled unmade sheet could obstruct the bearded dragon

ummm you'd have to have a mask or something cause these pic are not suposed to be ananomys
ok so these types of pics can be sent directly to me....LOL j/k

[postaldarkness]

Geez I leave for a couple days and I come back and its PORNO TIMEZZZZ!

[jsedai_77]

postaldarkness....look in to my eyes...you're getting sleepy...very sleepy....this was all just a bad dream.....

[postaldarkness]

ALSO, WE ARE EXTENDING THE DUE DATE FOR THE SHORT CHALLENGE UNTIL SATURDAY THE 10TH AT MIDNIGHT (eastern time). We got so few entries we're hoping that this will bring in a couple more. YAY!

[glass__onion]

[Addie_Marie]

Oh, sweet! Extension! I'll do my best to get something done for the short challenge.

[ryanmoore]

[DIYer]

Looking forward to seeing the entries! :D

[Addie_Marie]

Whew! I sent in my entry with... 20 minutes to spare. Haha, I'm such a good procrastinator.

[postaldarkness]

got my vote in this morning!!!!!

[jsedai_77]

I voted yesterday afternoon

[Lizen]

So were're just waiting on one person now?
I think that's pretty good, considering I believe we've done days before without word from more than one of the judges ^^
Thanks to the judges, glass__onion, & TomSawyer and anyone else that I forgot that should definitely be thanked <3

As DIYer said, "Looking forward to seeing the entries! :D"

[postaldarkness]

yuppers just waiting on merin.

[glass__onion]

ok yay results.

In second place, Miss_Gagarin, with 3 points.
And in first place, Spendthrift Sigh, with 6 points.

thanks to everyone for their entries!

[Miss_Gagarin]

Yé! Finally! :D

[dye_bottle]

I'm gonna try and make those Pj's tonight. I know it's so last minute but I've been working (and i literally couldn't find my floor it was so messy here before). I wonder if it has to be a set or you can make separates 9i'll go check the details).

[Addie_Marie]

Congrats, Spendthrift Sigh and Miss_Gagarin!! I can't wait to see the pictures! But I'm confused, isn't there usually a third place, too?

[Muffy_Stopheles]

Uggggh I wish I had seen this! I made my hair falls the day of the last day!

Lame. =[

[Lizen]

Yikes!
Ummm.
So I really doubt I can kick my butt into gear for tomorrow.
With the extention, I was focusing on getting the short challenge finished :/

[glass__onion]

Congrats, Spendthrift Sigh and Miss_Gagarin!! I can't wait to see the pictures! But I'm confused, isn't there usually a third place, too?

the judges can only chose one entry as their favorite in short challenges. before there was a little confusion on this concept, mostly by me. :p


the pictures are up on Flickr! i used the "Uploadr" application this time, it makes uploading so much easier.

[Miss_Gagarin]

ok yay results.

In second place, Miss_Gagarin, with 3 points.
And in first place, Spendthrift Sigh, with 6 points.

thanks to everyone for their entries!

Good work Spendthrift Sigh! Love the hat!

[jsedai_77]

I really loved all the entries this challenge....keep up the good work everyone!!

[Aurora199]

Wow! Nice work everyone!

[shadesofgrey.]

GREAT job everyone!!

[Lizen]

Are you still accepting PJ entries?

[postaldarkness]

I havent heard anything about the long challenge from glass_onion. Im not against another extension but if there are already a lot of other entries than it would be unfair. We'll see what glass_onion says.

[Addie_Marie]

I can't wait to see the entries for the long challenge. Pajamas are such a cool idea.

Oh, and because I didn't say it before, amazing job on all the head pieces, everyone! The crossword headband totally blew me away.

[Lizen]

Thanks Addie_Marie (http://forum.threadbanger.com/member.php?u=2733)! ^^
It's probabaly be done before, but I'm proud to say I managed to think of it without seeing one done before. I plan to make some with sudoku too ^^

Humm, I wonder what's going on with the PJs :S

[TomSawyer]

YOU GUYS!
I am SOOOO sorry I've been missing!

My mom had an issue with her heart and had to be sent out of town for surgery, and I didn't have access to a computer to explain what was going on. She is DOING GREAT, and so I'm back in town! I will catch up on what's going on, ASAP!

[jsedai_77]

no sweat TS...glad she's doing OK....we haven't heard anything from GlassOnion in a while...and were wondering what was going on with the PJ entries....that's about it for PTB news I think

[Lizen]

Don't worry about it!
that is *much* more important. I'm glad she's doing well now!

[minesweeper]

Question, are we going to do a June PTb? If we are in need in for judges I can judge in July.

[minesweeper]

does anyone want to do a short challenge until a June one is made???

[minesweeper]

I just found that list of judges, I'm judging in June! :D funfun

!!

[Kiiwii]

I so wanna join the June one!

[DorkSide]

can't wait for the new challenge to be posted. I want to give it a go

[veggisen]

Are there anyday soon going too be a May or June Prodject Threadbanger? I really like it, but you folks are kind of slow with the months.. ^^

[minesweeper]

Are there anyday soon going too be a May or June Prodject Threadbanger? I really like it, but you folks are kind of slow with the months.. ^^

Assuming we get the june one started it will start on the 15th. I know I'm judging with ryanmoore and someone else, so we'll get it posted then.

[minesweeper]

Don't worry we're getting the June one decided, hopefully it will be up today! (or if need be, tomorrow.)

[EraserGirl]
