It's quite alright if people wait til the last second to submit. I am glad more people are entering!
The Halloween contest will be easier and have a lot more prize options ;-)

Toki has been chatting with the contest TV's, telling them all about your contest entries. And here are some details Toki has learned about these TV's (feel free to change their details once you have them in your home).
Jag is a kitty and his birthday is 07-10-11. This is the day he was created by me. He was made from a free pattern byLittle Mochi. I actually modified the pattern to include open arms instead of the stitched thread arms. He was the first of this pattern I had made.
Eustace is a dragon and his name is pronounced hue-stass. He was named after the dragon in the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. He was made from a Bean Buddies craft book, but I filled Eustace with a plush material. I've always thought he looked a little like a flying aardvark. Eustace's birthday is 02-17-11, which is the same month as my brithday! He was made from some expensive soft fabric called Baby Bubble Fabric. He is the only one of this pattern I have ever made.
Kiki's birthday is 07-26-11 and she's an elephant of course! She was made from a pattern by Kiki Kreation. I already had an elephant pattern from Funky Friends Factory, but I wanted something cute, easy, and quicker to make for gifts. Kiki turned out adorably! So far she is the only elephant from this pattern I have made. I am going to be making another one for the Halloween Contest in October, and making two of them this week as gifts.
I hope you enjoyed reading this and they cannot wait to visit their new homes! Don't forget the contest closes on August 31st 2011, Midnight CST (-6 GMT USA).

Thanks for the interesting details about the contest TVs - how exciting! 
I've just been trying to figure out when the deadline is for us UKers. I think we are 6hours ahead of your time so would that mean the deadline in the UK is 6am on thursday morning? I will try to aim for midnight on Wednesday anyway, but just thought I'd clarify this for other members too.

Thanks for that! I'm not really sure what the UK time difference is.

Okay, so far I am loving these entries. That is quite some effort. Did you actually go on a plane, or was that just photoshop skills?

Neither plane nor photoshop. I downloaded the picture of the plane and opened it full screen size and put the TVs in front of my PC screen 
I'm glad you liked it  and yes, it was quite an effort!

Leslie your story is amazing. I love the little hats and the little tent, and the plane picture completely fooled me! I would never have thought of creating the illusion that way. Gosh, these entries are creating tough competition!
EDIT: Oh and that camp fire photo works really well too - how pretty and cosy 
Klubwerks - Something that has just occurred to me is whether the deadline being midnight on the 31st of August means the midnight between tuesday and wednesday, or the midnight between wednesday and thursday? Lol, sorry if the answer to this is obvious...

Edit: Between Tuesday and Wednesday. After I go to bed Tuesday night on Aug. 30th, the clock will strike midnight which is officially the 31st and the contest ends.
Thank you for pointing it out Gizalba. I am tuckered and my brain had a lapse of intellect.

Ah, weight a sec, but the 31st is wednesday isn't it? Between monday and tuesday would mean the deadline is midnight between the 29th and the 30th? Does this mean the competition closes in 3hours 40mins time from now?!
