Welcome to the ✍︎ Mene NPC Love Letter Studios ♥︎,

where we're going to be professing our undying love to the VIP residents of Menewsha;

the ones who pop in just to steal our hearts, leave a little gift,

and disappear again just as suddenly as they came...

I'm talking about the NPCs!



If you aren't too familiar with the NPCs, go check out the

♥︎ Menewsha NPC Guide ♥︎

which has pictures and short descriptions of them all.




Prizes for this contest will be handed out

by one of our very own NPCs;

my dear friend, Magnus.



This event runs from ♥︎ February 11 - 18, 2023 ♥︎


--although that may be subject to change!

Entries will be accepted until the thread is locked.

If you need an extension, you may ask before the event ends;

I might be able to work something out with Magnus.



Please post all entry forms in this thread;

I will not be accepting entries sent through PM.



This is Menewsha's very first hybrid user-staff event,

so I hope you'll welcome me warmly for my first stickied thread.

You're welcome and encouraged to chat in this thread!

Let's work together and try to make this the longest thread in the event

Show us your letter!
To the dearest Mango,
My love burns like habanero
It takes two to tango
It would not be a fiasco

To just give me a chance
Try taking my left hand and dance
You will know at first glance
This will be a steamy romance

You have very fine tastes
Yet no other I ever chased
This will not go to waste
With your presence, I have been graced

Say yes, it will be fine
It won’t even cost you a dime
If I could call you mine
Would you, please, be my Valentine?

go ahead and laugh, I know it's silly

Hope this works, i know i'll forget if i wait until after i wake up. (i wrote my username (almost forgot how to spell it! XD) upside down and backwards with liquid eyeliner cause i couldn't find a pen. And i blurred out my chin/neck cause it had weird shadows that were unattractive.)



Also, Thank you, both of you! I saw a similar pattern on a youtube pattern review (was unhelpful too), and decided i could make it work with the 3 patterned i picked, figured out how i wanted to do it using paint and hoping it worked out,
and figured how to do it, and then watched youtube videos on how to assemble it and how to do the binding (the dark green edge part). I learned a lot about quilting, and a big part i learned is that i hate quilting, but i love making quilt tops (quilting is the decorative sewn designs on quilted items)

What medium did you use? A bunch of stuff. I did not make the interior stone itself; I bought that at a craft store ages ago. The smaller pieces I've had for awhile, but didn't know what to do with it. It was the entwining metal wrap that broke me! A needle-nose plier helps move it, but ... uh... well, I'll let the images speak themselves.
Show us your craft!

I just think that Lise had been the missing puzzle piece for not only my heart, but the piece that completed Mene as a whole.

&



As such, on the alternate side of the necklace, you'll see an endless loop of spirits, energies - a continuous movement of emotion. Without that missing piece, we couldn't exist without you.

I know that one side of the necklace top doesn't wrap around the center piece properly. That's when I accidentally cut my finger and gave up. Lise! There was my actual blood on this piece!

I signed my username in a red permanent marker! Not my blood!

thank you for such a thoughtful entry, Pweep!! i could totally see Lise hanging that on the wall of her shop when she's not wearing it.

i absolutely did think for a split second that you signed your name in blood

Sooo early! And on a Sunday, the one day to do nothing !

I love the team atmosphere, because there isn't ringette in the Olympics and there is no "NHL" of ringette, there aren't people clawing their way to the top like in hockey lol. It's a really fun fast paced game with incredible team building. My niece is the one who plays, I help coach the team :)

This is my little goalie:

you'll just have to sneak in a nap on Monday

that does sound like a much more relaxing fun atmosphere! so many athletes push themselves way too hard, so it's good to hear that your niece can build her skills without all that pressure. it's cool that you help coach too! besides the early wake up times, it must be pretty fulfilling

aww look at her all ready to go! that's adorable, you must be so proud.
