Welcome, welcome one and all to
The Giving Tree’s Halloween Ball!

Please take care to read the rules and enjoy your stay! All credits will be given in the final post.



[ THE EVENT FORMALLY KNOWN AS ‘Gracious’ IS NOW ‘The Giving Tree’ ]

~*~ INTRO ~*~

Welcome to The Giving Tree’s Halloween appearance!

The Giving Tree, formerly known as Gracious, is a user run event by Burnt Biscuits that celebrates the general good nature of our community by giving back to it.

TGT has been collecting items through generous donations and has well over 150k in gold and items to be given away to you! And the rest of the users of course. This appearance in the Halloween event is just mini preview of what you can expect through the last week of November of this year.

If all goes well, TGT will become an annual event for as long as funds hold out and for as long as the meaning behind the even holds true.

So please, enjoy the event, pick up a few freebies, chat a bit, and maybe take a look at the planning thread? Links back are loved, so let’s spread the word!

The Giving Tree, November 21st-30th (tentatively), BE THERE!

Ah, hello Biscuits~ :3

Hey Clock. n.n ~huggles~ You and your awesome fashion...

How's the event going for you? Well I hope?

Hah, thankies. It's kinda hard to see avis with the black background.

Yup, it's going well~ I was so happy when it finally started :] I hope more people will come here soon. :3

I hope so too... I've sent out invites to everyone that's posted in the planning thread. n.n

Btw, there is a chance for one of the treat bags running, check the 4th post. <3 It's a good way to get more people in. n.n Although the first prize is pretty tiny. XD

YOU MADE ME POST ON THIS!!!
xD

<3

Luff ya, but I'm doing homework nao...
;___;
Sowwy!

Bisu, I wanna give away freebies but my head hurts and the contrast is hurting my eyes..

Tilly, you're adorable! ~cuddles~

I'll add you to the freebie artists, drew when you get the time and the will to, but for now, maybe some pain killers?


Hatake: I -should- be doing homework... XD There's a chance for a prize going on now too, check the fourth post. n.n

Hello! I am so glad that you have this event thread again. Although, I can't promise to do any freebies this time around. Classes are keeping me very busy now and I don't have easy access to a scanner. But I am here to talk! ^^ How is everyone doing?

Yay, more people. <3
Oh gosh, I should be doing homework as well, haha! I may disappear eventually.

Hiya burnt! : D
I'll help out with the freebie artwork, granted I'm not very talented and tend to take my time to make sure what I did is perfect (or at least what I want it to look like XD )
I'll also help out with anything else you plan to be doing during this event. : D
