Goodluck and amazing entries, everyone ♥

on a side note, Old Navy, I'm sorry, but the main part of your sig cannot be drawn by you (even if you're using the pen tool) I'll leave you a PM with more information in a little bit, and you can ask questions there, but you'll have to redo your entry.

This topic closes today, at midnight server's time, please get your entries in before that time! I'm really happy to see all the entries, thanks to all participants, you guys made Andromeda happy ♥

Got it ~

Answer was given, I'll be closing up this topic!

But as a side suprise, there's another prize this week! The person whos signature wins in the voting round, will be used as the banner for SOTW topics. - - - - - Hello and Welcome to the 53th SoTW!
