NoBS Garden Competition Photo Thread
« on: May 16, 2010, 09:13 PM »

Hi Everybody! I have had a chance to look at a few Garden Rooms of some NoBS friends and they have been so creative and so beautiful. I know there are many I have yet to see. I also know that I have missed friends here and there who have wanted to stop in for a visit to my garden.

So, I thought we could have one central thread where we can post pictures and/or videos of our garden entry rooms. I am so excited to see everyone's rooms. Hugs and Good Luck to everyone in the competition! Most of all, congratulations to everyone who built a room for the competition. So, post away, and enjoy looking at all of the NoBS creations!

***If you are not sure how to post pictures here, just let me know. I can come get a pic of your room and post it for you.  :bighug:

I will go ahead and post first. I used the Grand Garden Room to create an Asian Garden. I took different pictures around the room, pasted them together, and made it smaller so you can see the entire room all at once. Enjoy!

Princess, your room is absolutely gorgeous.  I love the Asian theme...very original and very beautiful! 

King, so sorry I won't be able to stop by for a drink...my sinuses are acting up...sniff sniff...those darn grass allergies...lol! 

Good luck to both of you in the contest!

Wow, what awesome rooms! Princess love the podoga. King, you base that overgrown lawn off my backyard? Sunday, love the raised deck by the pond!
Here is the one I did for my secondary character, Quilter. The description says "In honor of the traditional patchwork quilt"
I love Princesses idea of pasteing the photos together to get a single photo of the grand room. Gonna try that and if I get it figured out I'll past the landscaped backyard I entered with Goldengourd.

Keep them coming, I love seeing these!

WOW!  Beautiful rooms!  Such talent!    :clap1:    :2thunbs:     King, LOVE the idea!   :thumb:
I did enter, but I used the Grand Garden room, and piecing together a screen shot will be a challenge.  Honestly don't have a clue on how you do that!

I don't know either Astro, I was hoping I could get Wendy's help to do mine.

Golden, you simply must get the pic of your main player!  It is simply gorgeous (and the pics done that way could capture the treehouse with the toys)!

If you have a grand garden room, we really don't mind if you just post several pictures, might take 4-6 depending on how you make it scroll.
Here's my pieced together. Not as good as Princess at it, but it is kinda fun to see how the thing looks all together. I think I like it better scrolling, as you come around a corner and find a new little nock, lol.

Beautiful rooms everyone!  See...that's why I didn't spend alot of time on mine ROFL.

Here's my small contribution.  Didn't spend much time on it, but it is pretty to my eyes.  I used the Hollow Log room. 



Well done and best of luck to all!

Oh my goodness! These rooms are all beautiful!
Sunday, yours looks like a real backyard area - love the raised deck.

Golden, The patchwork quilt room is simply beautiful, everything blends together in such a lovely way. Your Grand Garden entry is stunning! I am so excited to come and see it up close in person.

Flame, not a small contribution at all. That room is beautiful. What a peaceful combination of color and I love your use of those concrete benches. It took me a second to figure out what those were.

And King, well, let me say, that is not too far off from real life here.  :lolg:

Keep the pictures coming everyone! (As for the giant screen shot, I just walked to different areas, took a pic, moved to another area, took a pic. Kept doing it until I thought I had the whole room covered, then went into paint.  I used "paste from" once I started pasting together. Also may be easier to shrink each image by 50% before getting started)

We truly have a very talented NoBS group!  I truly enjoy seeing everyone's rooms and love how seeing how everyone uses different items.    I am challenged in taking pics and trying to post them here so I'll have to politely beg for someone here to take pics of my 2 rooms (funfly used Hidden Glade room; my other spare used Forest Wilderness) and post for me.  Someone? Anyone? hello???  :lolg:  when someone can?
   (EDIT:  Thank you Golden for taking the pics shown in post below this one!)  :bighug:

Princess, love your pretty Asian room and the waterfall and pagoda - very clever!
King - just like a man....mow a path to the seat and wait  :lolg:  I think I have some grass/weeds that look like that though!

Sunday, I like your rock gardens and the wall you built and your deck/patio! It is a peaceful room :)

Golden, What a cute idea for Quilter's Garden! Original!  And your other garden room, I had seen on a real tour there; it looks so very different in 1 big picture.  It's fun to see the complete room after having toured your room.  I love your treehouse, the rainbow in the waterfall; and the way you completed the different sections in your room.

Flame, your room may be small but it's packed with color! I see a butterfly there myself, nice work with the stone benches too.

LOL Of course not!  But Golden beat me LOL.  I didn't see your post because of .Its birthday party last night.  I was gonna take a pic of your room and .Its and post them both tonight.  Sigh.  Well, standby for .Its room.  I'll post it later tonight. 

Awesome work on the newly posted rooms, too!  How can they judge these things?  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

I think the judging may go on for months...

Well, I started the evening off great last night, getting to peek at Funfly's and Golden's rooms. Seeing Golden's large room in person was awesome! What a beautiful space! Fun's rooms are so adorable and whimsical! I loved being able to see them in person. Thank you ladies!

If only my evening would have continued to be so fun... :lolg: Our friend who does counter-tops stopped in as I was finishing looking at rooms and waiting to wish .it a Happy Birthday. So, after we finalized our counter order, his metal case full of granite samples fell on my foot!  :sur: :waveb: It hurt so bad and turned a nice shade of black and blue right away. After icing it and having it elevated, it seems nothing is broken, but man it hurt! By the time we hopped back into game we thought we had missed seeing .it for her birthday. Luckily, we got to catch her at closing to give her lots of hugs!!!

So, today, I am looking at Fish.i's and Astro's rooms for the first time! (I got to see ducky's room in person earlier in the game. Her room is so pretty and purple themed. Again, you have to walk through her room to get a real feel for it) Fish.i, I love your garden, what a unique room to use, it really works, makes it feel like a misty garden room! Astro, I can't believe you talk about not being a builder! That room is fantastic! I absolutely love the "Swimming Pool" area, looks like s real backyard pool! Love it!

Hugs Hugs everyone! :bighug: :hug:

I was getting ready to go see .It for her birthday last night, when Golden pm'd me in game and offered to take pics for me.  So hugs there Golden!  :bighug:  Then Wendy came to check out my room, which started us off on a Garden Tour (was great to see it in person there too! very creative building of pagoda!)  Hope your foot is doing better today~!

While these pics here are great to see, it is true that seeing these rooms up close in person there are much more exciting as we discover things on our walking tours!  Everyone did such a terrific job and I can't wait to see more here and in the game!

Awww no worries, Wendy.  Just stay off that foot!  Hope and pray it gets better soon!  Stuff happens at the worst moments sometimes, no?  It was awesome though catching you and King at closing.  First time we've been at closing all together in a long while :)

(hugs) and keep that foot up ;)

Thanks, guys, I'm used to pain, but I was really crying. I felt so silly. Luckily, our neighbor is a nurse and she took a look at it last night. It is King I am about to knock out - he keeps talking about taking a picture of it all black and blue and posting it!  :doh: He knows I will knock the gas right out of him if he does!  :lolg:

It was so good to at least see you guys during the last few minutes of the night. At least .it got her birthday gas from King!  :lolg: Here's hoping for more time in game with friends!  :drinkingtoast: :bighug:

Good luck to everyone! I sure would hate to be a judge but I'm sure there is at least one winner here!


Princess and I didn't enter the competition-wasn't sure we would have time to put a room together or not and I was right about that-we didn't.   :td:
I never even considered entering just in case as I hear some had even entered empty rooms or ones with pink couches etc.  :uhuh:
