No More Crinkly Wrappers

I started my New Leaf day off with a dream visit to Breezy’s town Avenir. It’s a beautiful town where almost all of the villagers are bunnies. You can read all about it in Jeff’s Dream Suite Adventures.

The flower clock in Avenir.After waking up from the dream, Big Top asked me to collect signatures for his petition, No More Crinkly Wrappers.

Big Top: I know! You can help me collect signatures for my petition, No More Crinkly Wrappers!I noticed the northern lights up in the sky once again.

Northern Lights above Forest.Crazy Redd was in town, so I took a chance on this gallant statue.

Redd: I see! Ya seem to be really close to that gallant statue, yeah?At the Dream Suite, Luna told me Tree from the town of Konoha was my most recent dream visitor.

I then started looking for a town to collect my signatures. Tiffiny was online, but I was unable to connect to her town once again. After posting on Twitter, I was able to find another option; Darian from Franklin helped me out. So I headed to his town, where a sign on the ground said “Don’t forget you’re here forever.” ***

Sign on ground: Don't forget you're here forever.He had the northern lights in his town too!

The northern lights in Darian's town.I started collecting signatures, but I also stopped in his classic police station to say hello to Booker.

Booker: Y-yes! Hello! This is, um, the Franklin police station...After Velma scribbled her name down, the petition was complete!

Velma: There it is! I think it's so nice you came all this way in support of No More Crinkly Wrappers...The other five villagers who signed were Pinky, Curlos, Derwin, Axel, and Klaus.

Petition signatures: Pinky, Curlos, Derwin, Axel, Klaus, Velma.But while I was in the town of Franklin, one of the villagers gave Darian a petition too! So I let him come over and get signatures in my town, too. But before I opened my gate, I returned Big Top’s petition. Would this be the day I finally get Big Top’s picture? False. He gave me an alpine lamp instead. 🙁

Big Top: A huh huh huh! It's an alpine lamp!I then opened the gate and Darian started collecting the signatures he needed from my villagers. Aurora seemed to be hiding behind her harvest lamp.

UPDATE: I almost forgot to make my snowtyke! Fortunately, it wasn’t too late and I made him correctly. He should be sending me the final snowtyke item I need tomorrow.

Snowtyke: Mom and my big brother look kinda strange, but I'm just happy to have the whole family together!

Kidd’s Pic

Last night, I started the game back up to go and get a song from K.K. at Club LOL. As I came out of my house, I noticed the northern lights up in the sky. So naturally, I stopped to take a picture.

The northern lights above my house.I asked K.K. for a random song, and he performed Steep Hill for me. Then today, I searched and searched for Joan. Once I eventually found her, I bought 1,000 turnips from her at 110 bells apiece.

Joan: So 1,000 turnips comes out to be 110,000 bells altogether. Do you wanna buy them?With that out of the way, I returned home to put my turnips in storage and check my mail. I received a letter from Gulliver in Peru, and he sent me this tapestry, which I put in my World Wonders exhibit at the museum.

My new tapestry on the wall.Tom and I briefly visited each other’s towns to get our bingo cards stamped. After that, I was just about to water my flowers for the day, when it started snowing! Perfect timing! So I decided to build my daily snowperson. I needed to make a flawed snowmam, so I made her nice and ugly.

Snowmam: I'll just be that weird-looking snowlady people make fun of!If all goes well, this will be the last snowperson I’ll be making flawed (at least on purpose). And the snowtyke I build tomorrow will hopefully be the last snowtyke I’ll need to make, since he should be giving me the last of his items.

Anyway, Kidd asked me for some bed-sized furniture. I didn’t have anything good in my pockets, so I checked my storage at home. I had a space shuttle I probably won’t be using anytime soon, so I took that to Kidd. In exchange, he gave me his picture!!

Kidd: Kidd's pic! A dear gift to my dear friend! Thanks, J-dog!Awesome! I quickly put it in my house.

Kidd's pic next to Aurora's pic.It has his favorite quote on the back: “Be yourself–everyone else is already taken.”

Quote on Kidd's pic: Be yourself--everyone else is already taken.The interesting thing is that Kidd moved into Forest on September 9th…four full months after Big Top. And now I have Kidd’s pic, while Big Top continues to hold out on me. I do like Kidd, though. He may not be a very popular villager, but he’s grown on me a lot and I think I want to keep him in town for a long time.

A Happy Day in Forest

Late last night (technically early this morning), Tom invited me over to check his new bingo snowmen for the day. His friends Aggie and Kamica also came over to visit. Tom hadn’t rolled the snowmen’s eyes yet, so we each rolled them at the same time.

Rolling the snowmen's eyes.Then this morning, my Re-Tail was buying turnips for 115 bells apiece. Today is the last day to sell them, so I sold all that I had. I made a small profit on them this week.

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 115,000 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?When I worked at the Roost, Gracie came in for coffee. This was only the second time she’s visited the cafe.

Gracie: Merci, sweet thing. I'm going to slurp this down like nobody's business!When I went back outside, I got some very good news from Tabby: She’s moving out on January 16th! YESSSSS! Finally! Woohoooooo! I just have to remember not to speak to her if she pings me. (I wonder if me ignoring her sickness played any role in her decision).

Tabby: Right now it's looking like I'll go on the 16th of this month.Big Top invited me over to his house and I chose 4:00 as the time to meet him. By the time I remembered, it was 4:03. That’s not too bad, right? But I saw him outside my house instead of inside his own. At any rate, he apologized for not being home. So I’m hoping I’m not in any further trouble with the green elephant.

Big Top: I'm really sorry I wasn't at home when you came to visit me, little top.When I took my money from my turnip sales and put them in the bank, my account topped five million bells for the first time.

Your current balance is 5,040,000 bells.While I was on Main Street, I did my shopping run. When I walked into GracieGrace, I thought there was a bunny hood on sale for a moment. It turns out it was just Gabi’s head.

Gabi shopping in GracieGrace.At the Emporium, I bought K.K. Ballad. I already had the song, but I’ve been meaning to try turning it into a music box. So I took it and a giant clam shell to Cyrus over at Re-Tail. As I was waiting for him to finish it, I purposely made a flawed snowboy.

Snowboy: Society is a harsh judge of mediocre-looking snowpeeps.Down on the beach, I found Gulliver. He was talking about a country that has lots of alpacas, and how he wanted to snuggle up to them and pet them over and over. (It was kind of creepy).

Gulliver: I want to snuggle up to that white, soft neck of theirs and pet and pet and pet and pet and pet!I was not sure of the country by the choices he gave me. I knew it wasn’t Mexico, but I took a guess among the other choices and I guessed correctly. He’s headed to Peru! After that, I returned to Re-Tail and I took home my K.K. ballad music box shell.

Take home the K.K. Ballad?When I started the game up later on, I had a letter in the mail from the post office. They congratulated me for saving five million bells and they sent me this aluminum briefcase, filled with cash! Awesome!

The aluminum briefcase loaded with money!It’s Saturday, so that means K.K. will be performing at Club LOL tonight. Hopefully I’ll remember to check him out later.

That’s all I have for now, but if anyone already on my 3DS roster wants Tabby for some strange reason, please contact me. It can be on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But you’ll need to be available on Thursday evening (Eastern U.S. time). And keep in mind, that I have trouble connecting to some people. If we’re unable to connect after a few attempts, I may have to give her to someone else.

One last note: Two new patterns have been submitted to the QR Codes page. One is a pattern of blue tiles that could be used for a path (or maybe a bathroom floor) submitted by Thomas, and the other is a McDonald’s logo submitted by Beth. Check them out if you’re interested.
