Want!
Because...because....it's. Just. So. Coooool. And the lack of theme just adds to the mystery.
I promise a chroma! And maybe multiple papers.
Y'all know where I live. Right inside this little device.
PS: Beautiful daffodils! Most of ours have dropped the blossoms but some are still there. We have multiple varieties. Tulips are up, dogwoods are blooming. And I think we MIGHT be done with snow for the year.

I'm jealous of your spring Laura! Snow is in the forecast for us once again. I think the only year it did NOT snow for the May long weekend in Calgary was 2006, the year I got married. We deliberately chose the weekend after May long so we could have it in our backyard. The May long was glorious and of course MY weekend was cold and rainy/snowy. But it didn't daunt us - we discovered our living room (completely devoid of furniture of course) held 50 people rather cozily.
Anyway, onto MI8. I said I would volunteer but I think you have a happy contingent so I will be watching from "base camp" too.

Our crazy Calgary weather!!! Woke up to find snow this morning! Thankfully not much and melting fast...

Yes at least it's melting! Maybe that is the end of the snow for us this year. We did have a pretty good winter, you must admit, but still no one wants the white stuff at this time of year.

Maybe the theme can be Spring, or flowers.....anyway, I'm throwing my hat in the ring.

Native Australian trees and shrubs are wonderful. Somehow so much more exotic than UK 'neat and tidy' garden flowers, which are a bit too constrained for my taste
Here's a sketch I did of a Grevillea, an Australian shrub with a huge variety of different flower shapes, and in colours ranging from white to cream, and yellow, through orange to red. Gorgeous.
Thanks for all the entries. I'm sorry to post and run but I only have two minutes until I turn into a pumpkin and drive off into the carpooling sunset.
I believe I only got three international entries: our Calgary Flames fan BCDDiggler, Cryptos and mhguda. So unless I missed an entry (and that's possible), I believe all three will receive MI8.
Our friend random.org has selected the US recipients, and they are reprieve, tiffanyhenschel and elaineb. I think caribbean_skye said she's entered twice before and hasn't yet gotten chosen, so she's going to get one, too.
If I do not have your address, please PM that to me, along with your email just in case. I believe that means all the international winners plus Tiffany. Perhaps also caribbean_skye if I had to empty my PM box recently.
Okay I'm late to pick up a gaggle of children who resent that and tend to complain and eye-roll. Must dash.

Congrats to all the winners! I'll (impatiently) wait for all of the reviews!
Thanks Laura and thanks naimitsu for the good wishes! Will sure try & live up to the standards of reviewing ink while having fun with it...
De pen is machtiger dan het zwaard - de pen wordt nog gebruikt, het zwaard hangt aan de muur...
oooh yay! Thanks. PM on its way
Coolio! This is without doubt the funnest way of expanding my inky horizons. PM sent.
Congrats, you will enjoy the experience. I can't wait to see all the wonderful reviews and write ups
I love the FPGeeks sense of community

Congrats winners. Now the wait to see what the color looks like
Congratulations winners, can't wait to read your reviews (and have another totally incorrect guess). Mystery Inks, I think is my favorite threads on fpgeeks.

wont say this is a wonderful review but this should give you an idea of what the ink looks like. More testing will be done but I was a little anxious today.
