Emma and Tom Together!
I'm in London this week, visiting a friend how lucky am I! Just as a taking
a walk through a park with my friends I saw two folks kissing and I had
to do a double take because I just could not believe who I saw! Just take
a look for yourselves! It really is them for I spend a lot of time editting
my image galleries and I can spot them from a mile away. What surprised
me was how they were so open about it! It was rather cute.
APRIL FOOL'S!!!
This was our April Fool's joke. Sorry Tom and Emma for spreading around
such nasty rumours. Cheer up though,
it was just for one day!
Introducing: Black Forest FanFiction!
After sometime now, our secret project is now ready for the public and
we're proud to say that we now have a new section of the web site solely
for fanfiction!
It's a neat new software installed and has plenty of great new features! You can sign up to be an author and you can either submit completed works or come back and post a fanfiction chapter by chapter. You can even start an entire series! One neat feature of the software is that we have what's called a "round-robin" fanfic that involves many authors and each puts in their piece to the story.
Each fanfic has its own categories, genres, ratings and warnings to gear it towards a certain audience. Last, but not least, you can choose if you want people to review your fanfics!
So try it now! Sign up and start writing!

Heifer.org : A Black Forest Project
This is why I ask you to please find it in your heart to donate. If not now, then perhaps later. If you can't give for one reason or another, then by all means, please share the link with someone else so that they can give. Every little bit helps! |
This
year we have been collecting donations for Heifer.org, a wonderful
non-for-profit organization that specializes in feeding the hungry.
However, rather than feeding him once and be done with him, Heifer.org
is different. They will give a family in a needy community an animal,
(cow, geese, chickens, goats, llamas, etc.) to a family and teach
them how to take care of the animal and in turn the animal may provide
them with gifts such as milk, eggs, wool, meat, etc. The family
can then sell the leftover products for a profit and become for
perhaps the first time in their life, self sufficient.Once the animal
produces offspring, they must pass it to another needy family in
the community to spread the wealth. It becomes a web of hope, a
web of new beginnings. If you want to unsubscribe, simply click here to remove your address.
