Name My Cacti
*edit* Going to have this contest run for 2 months because that is how long the seed packet said it might take for something to sprout. But if after 2 months nothing comes up I will still pick a name and try again growing a cacti :) I have gotten some really nice names, but the more the better :) And instead of 1 ACEO I am going to be giving away 2!
So we went out and bought some more cacti seeds, but we still don't know where the ones I bought 2 weeks ago went. We planted between 4 and 7 seeds in each of these 2 pots. So hopefully something starts to grow (I will have to separate them if more than 2 decide to sprout in each pot). So I am going to have a little contest. For a month I will take names to name the cacti. Depending on how many names I get, I will stick the top 5 names into a cup and pick one from there. You can enter how many times you wish, (well 100 is probably overkill :p). What ever name I pick, the person who suggested the name will get an ACEO of a cactus :) So either comment here with your name suggestion or send it to my email :) jenniferphillip@gmail.com
I haven't had a lot of time to draw the last few days but here is a small update on the dragons :) Finished up the star and laid down the basic colours for one of the dragons.
And I didn't forget about the Scottish Word of the Week. I just have lost my little book with all the words in it. Moving things around and its in a box right now. So next Friday I will post 2 words to make up for not having one this week. :)

That dragon is coming along really beautifully. We planted some passionflower seeds ages and ages ago (like last year) and thought they would never come up. A couple of weeks ago we suddenly had so many that we had to buy a load more pots so we could spread all the seedlings out. I like Kevin for a cactus.

Can't wait to see how this dragon piece turns out Jennifer! I like the concept and the detail is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIf I could pick a name for a cactus I'd call it 'Bob'.
darn i was gonna suggest bob also, life would simpler if everyone had the same name with a number after it then you would only have to remember one girl and one guys name.....yeah i have too much time on my hands.
ReplyDeletehow about mr pointy? :P
spiral-thats what happened with our daises last year. We planted way too many thinking nothing would come up and we ended up with a front yard full of them. Was pretty though :)
ReplyDeleteI like that name chrissy! its very prett :)
Carl? :p Carl the cacti. well it does flow off the tongue lol
lol Rita. I was going to call it Bob but thought I would see if people had any names suggestions. So now Bob goes on the list too :)
Mr.pointy....this is kinda cheating though because if these are all the suggestions I get they all go in a hat and if I pick this one I wouldn't have to draw anything :p
I'm queen of stating the obvious so why don't you call your cactus... Spike?
ReplyDeleteI haven't planted seeds for years but I've just got a load of bulbs so should be potting them up soon - hopefully I'll get a few flowers out of them!
I like your virtual sketch. Thanks for providing the photo.
ReplyDeleteFor the cactus, I like the name Thorn.
*adds thorn to the pile of names* :D
ReplyDeleteI have to go with Phil. Phil the cactus. Love it!
ReplyDeletehow about Christopher the Cactus
ReplyDeleteHow about Krissy? :D Or even Sutcac ;) Beautiful dragons, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI am sure I added Clarissa somewhere, or Carrie,...or ickle prickle....PMSL
ReplyDeleteI think Pokey is a perfect name, seeing as how it's taking so ling to emerge.
