Yay! Welcome back! Have a look around. Not much has changed. We do have a discord channel if you are interested in joining that too.

Hey everyone, this is an unscheduled heads up or announcement if you prefer....

Due to Hurricane Laura, and possible remains of Marco they are issuing voluntary evacs for those along the cost and Houston areas. If you are in the path of either of these storms, your health and of course well being come first. And because of this, to take some of the stress off of it all...I am extending the deadline to not this Sunday but Sunday the 6th at 5pm CST. That way you have an additional week to do this challenge, and or add to change up and what have you.

I will still be doing updates and an ETF post soon. Just remember to stay safe, as Laura is looking to turn into a Cat. 3 hurricane before making land fall. Then again that could change over time. Just stay safe, and get your supplies now while you can.

Hey! Im sorry if this is rude but I just want to give you a heads up that in the requirements for this weeks challenge it said that you cant use Aurleon. You designs are really cool and I want them all to be counted in :)
Sorry if you already knew!

okay. I just got rid of my aurleon design.
