thanks . I still need like 700-800 I think.

I hope everything goes well this afternoon, Theresa!

Mina, a spoiler tag like that would drive me absolutely crazy until I saw the movie. I guess that's why I did it :P

You're very welcome ! I was hoping it might help someone.

Well, I was able to get 2 but now I'm not seeing any more. I guess they got grabbed quickly.

Jeff. I'm usually pretty good at avoiding spoilers, but that's not to say that they don't intrigue me.

I need like 500 faeries will have to keep a look out.... I hope to go see star wars next week too, my hubby cant wait to see it but doesnt like the crowds, and this one Im sure is really crowded.... Im glad you like it Jeff I loved the older ones...

Doctors appointment went fine...not really any changes. I gained weight and my b levels are still really low - even on a monthly shot... Doesn't seem to matter what I eat, how I eat, when I eat, how active I am...I still seem to gain weight. It was 6 lbs this time, which is about a pound a month, but still, would be nice to see a loss and not a gain for once... This whole thyroid crap just irritates me! Doc thought I was depressed, I'm not just tired so he offered sleeping meds, I told him I was good without them...pills don't fix everything and the way I look at it the less of them I'm on the better!

Will work on stuffing more stockings over the weekend, just too meh to sit here and do it now... Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Nice haul from Saggi today, about 1.7 mil.

Hahahahahaha! Now that's funny! (I still haven't read any HP or seen those movies, so I guess technically it's still a spoiler for me :P )

I'm FREE!!! dances no more work until the 28th! :D :D I think I'll sleep in tomorrow LOL

Today was my last day before the new year as well! I'm psyched to spend time with family (and many hours baking). Oh and don't forget to do the Melody Cottage HA contest. No ping today so I don't want you (or ) to forget!

thanks for the reminder! I don't think I'll do it next year. I feel like a handful of players are getting all the points. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I feel... it seems she likes monochromatic HA's and I think that's boring! But whatever. It's not my contest lol.

Awww, thank you so very much if this was from one of my PS family!! I love the presents (Mischief will eat and get fat now lol),the stickers are too cute, AND I love the quote as well (big surprise with the English major, yeah I know).

Items

This is your first time opening this, so these items are now in your inventory!

Message Let Every Day Be Christmas Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself. Written by Norman W. Brooks

I know what you mean. A lot of the winners are not the most creative HAs. It definitely seems like some favoritism is going on. It's fun to create a HA every day with the new items, and I like that challenge, but I wish the winners were more spread out among the people in the contest. Monochromatic isn't bad (especially since the items this year are really... drab), but some of the entries are so fun and colorful. Some of the winners make a lot of sense, but others are just kind of meh.

It does seem like the woman running it is really busy this year. If it seems like it'll be better next year, maybe I'll play again. It's definitely made me remember how many different items I have in my wardrobe (nowhere near as many as you :) ). I really like looking around at different backgrounds and seeing how they work with whatever item(s) we got that day.

Going to my parents' house tomorrow. After my dad and I lay some flooring, I'll have a chance to FINALLY stuff trees. I should be able to get everything done before the 25th.

Okay getting all sorts of goodies tonight!! Thank you to whoever the urchins might be...I love it!!! And thanks for the ornaments, obviously they saw I liked bunnies and sent a lilac, sun, and twilight bunny ornament as well as the letters V and A. Wonder if that's a clue of some sort.

Items

This is your first time opening this, so these items are now in your inventory!

Message While walking down the snowy streets of Centropolis one night, you are suddenly ambushed by a gang of street urchins! Before you can call for help, they tie you up with lights and garland, gag you with a bauble, and hang ornaments from your ears and clothing! They run away, disappearing into the night, giggling. You hobble along looking for help when you come across an elderly couple out for their nightly constitution. ”Oh, Harold, how festive! Look at this street performer dressing up like a Luminiere tree!” WIthout a pause, she slips 100 sP into your pocket and strolls away arm in arm with her husband, leaving you standing in the snow. Happy Luminiere from the street urchins!

LOL, woot, congrats, Paige.

HA Contest - I thought we had a voting button ability on here but I can't find it so we have to do it the old fashion way.

Comment me with your top 3 in order please

Well, that was my plan, anyways, but now I can't figure out how to post the images.

well, this is the second time to try and update, I hate, hate, hate, that big red, cancel editing button, just waits there for me to click on it.

So here we go again.

You get the short version now. the first version was fabulous.

I have decided to send the contestants the small gift I was going send everybody for just entering and spread the wealth of the larger prizes of the 1,2, and 3 winners to everybody that entered.

All of the 8 participants will be receiving a gift with 100 CS credits, plus two items from their wishlists.

The holiday words chosen included

3 - snow 1 - winter 1 - white (as in white christmas) 1 - gingerbread 1 - love (one of the many feeling that express this time of year) 1 - fairy (snow fairy or sugar plum fairy)

I had fun, and I hope you did too.

Now I think I am finished... but no, I still have 1 - 100 CS credit card in my inventory... that means somebody didn't get theirs. :( I wish there was a way to see what you sent via the elf. please let me know so I can sent it to you.

wow, thank you so much Pink! I got my card! I had lots of fun trying to do it, it was unique and challenging for sure! (bummer you lost your original post, I hate when that happens!!)

Okay, so it's not just me. I've been so busy and tired that I thought maybe I was overreacting! And yes, the melody items have been soooo drab!

Busy day today. Gonna get my gift baskets assembled and get ready for my son's party this evening. That means dropping hubby off at work, picking up my other son and we're off to the party lol.

Thank you so much for the items! I really appreciate them :) It was a really fun contest

Wow ! Thank you so much for my CSC and stickers. I totally was not expecting that and it's very sweet of you to do it. I had fun playing with words and trying to make an HA for the challenge. It was a creative idea and thank you again for doing it! Happy Lumi!!

I've been distracted from here for a bit so I'm a bit behind. I see theres new snowball tiers I'll have to work on that one.

I need some help, yes from the heart, The next word I need is a body part! ~PS Elf

My body part would be Heart.

Thank you so much for Cece Kat Dangling Earrings..

Thank you so much for the gift card and my pressies, I had alot of fun creating my outfit and love it so much that I have just kept it on lol.
