Ty ty!  And, I so thought Sunday should have placed further up.  It was too creatived!  Had my son and I laughing out loud! :)

There were so many great rooms this year, but a lot that I did see didn't always place where I thought they would have.  I did see several of the rooms that I rated a ten though.  Though that may not have been where I saw them in the list. lol  After seeing some of the others I was surprised mine did place. ;)

Though I did wonder if some of the fourth and fifth places may have been the result of rating some of the younger members a bit higher for effort.  And, I truly don't have too much problem with that.  A lot of the same people win every year, and that doesn't take away from their building skills, they will always be great builders. :)

Aww, thanks!  I feel a little silly because I built the room when I was using my small laptop, and even though I was using EA,  I still wasn't seeing the whole room. I didn't realize there was more land and water with a big rock in the back, rofl.  :doh:  I didn't mean for it too look so unfinished over there and missing some tops.  This is what the room looked like to me:

For some reason I've always been fascinated with the alien pods, and made the castle room as a sequel to my Discovering the Pod People Room that I made a couple years back.

They have a campy, b-film feel to them.  Maybe I'll make a trilogy.  rofl.   :icecream:

Tigerbella, I loved your castle and how you used the bridges in it!  Very well done!

I saw so many brilliant castles this year!
