Skye’s Pic

The snowboy sent me the snowman vanity today, so my collection of snowpeople items is finally complete…with five days to spare before the snow melts.

The snowman vanity.When I went in the police station, Copper informed me that Phineas was in town! Ooh, a new badge! So I tracked him down and he gave me the Silver Medalist badge for earning lots of medals on island tours.

I got the Silver Medalist badge! I bet I've got more island medals than anyone!I asked him for another badge, but he didn’t have another one for me. When I went up to the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Becky from Blossom was my most recent dream visitor. But Tia mentioned a different dreamer, Mike from Monument.

Tia: I had a very strange dream about someone called Mike from Monument.In the Emporium, Gracie had a gorgeous floor for 99,200 bells and a gorgeous table for 200,000 bells. I bought them both. My gorgeous set is coming along nicely now, with 9 of the 13 items already.

My partial collection of gorgeous furniture.When I returned from Main Street, I ran into Phineas again. Shouldn’t he have disappeared? But there was a reason he was back. Spending the money to buy that gorgeous furniture earned me the Expert Shopper badge, which is also a silver badge.

I got the Expert Shopper badge! Shopping is so much fun!I then did some island hopping, but I didn’t find anything I was looking for. On my last island visit, I stopped to play a bug-catching bug with Maggie. After the tour, Ruto also arrived on the island and we played a balloon-popping game.

Tortimer: Jeff gets 4 medals, Maggie gets 2 medals, and Ruto gets 1 medal!Later on, I remembered that I didn’t build a snowperson today. Now that I have all of the items, I wanted to build a snowmam so I could catch snowflakes and redeem them for ice furniture to sell. So that’s what I did, and I made her perfect–so she only needs 3 snowflakes for ice furniture that sells for 8,888 bells apiece. Sweet!

Snowmam: If you bring me 3 flakes, I will give you something wonderful! Please, I beg you. Make my wish come true...Tomorrow, I’ll probably go back to making bingo snowmen for the remainder of winter. Although I’ll be sure to replace the snowmam after she melts. Anyway, Skye asked me for some fruit, so I gave her a perfect orange. She loved it so much that she gave me her picture!

Skye: Take my Skye's pic as a token of my appreciation!Here’s a look at it:

Pic on Skye's quote: Love makes the world go 'round.That wrapped up my night, but I have one other note for you all. Beth has submitted a river/water path pattern and a chocolate chip cookie path to the QR Codes page, so check them out if you’d like! See you all next time!

Making My Last Snowboy

Today, the snowboy sent me this snowman clock in the mail.

My snowman clock on the wall.I only need one more item from him now, the snowman vanity. Anyway, I made a delivery to Nan and she rewarded me with a peach. A regular, native peach. Wow, thanks.

Nan: It's a peach! It'll be a nice little snack for later!I found today’s snowballs and built a perfect snowboy! Yes! As of tomorrow, I should be 100% done with all of the snowpeople items, so I won’t need to make any more snowboys.

Snowboy: I'M MEEEEE!I saw Big Top stomping around angry for some reason. Maybe one of the other villagers was getting on his nerves? I spoke with him, and he said he was steamed like a big, mad teakettle! Oh, so it must have been Tia.

Big Top: I'm steamed! Like a big, mad teakettle!I headed up to Main Street, where Luna told me that Alice from 1derland was my most recent dream visitor once again. Hi Ashley! At GracieGrace, I spent 72,000 bells and I finally got my hands on Gracie’s gorgeous chest.

Gracie: A gorgeous chest? You have exquisite taste, darling!Tom came over for a short visit, and we hammered each other for a bit. I also used my hammer on Fuchsia up on Main Street.

Hitting Fuchsia with a toy hammer.Later, Molly told me she was going to move out of town on February 23rd. However, I quickly showed her the error of her ways.

Molly: I was about to make a big decision based on a whim! Thanks so much for making me reconsider!Outside of town hall, Skye told me she’d like to be my assistant!

Skye: I could be your trusty assistant, J-bot...But then she remembered that Isabelle exists.

Skye: Whoops! I forgot you already have a very talented secretary!

Dream & Tours

Today, the snowboy mailed himself to me! Well actually it’s just a different snowman.

A snowman for my house.As I began my walk around town, I found both of today’s snowballs…right next to each other! Lucky me!

Two snowballs side by side.I put them together and made another perfect snowboy! That’s the fourth day in a row! I should only need to make one more after today. And my snowman head almost lined up with the snowboy’s body…we looked a bit weird.

Snowboy: You did it!I went up to the Dream Suite and updated my dream town. I also decided to make a dream visit to a town that’s supposedly based on Final Fantasy VII. The bad thing is that it’s been so long since I’ve played Final Fantasy VII that most of the references went over my head.

Also, it was a Japanese town, so the characters and their phrases were in Japanese. I did recognize the chocobo song as the town tune however, and it quickly got stuck in my head! Anyway, this was my favorite room:

A cool sci-fi room.And even though it’s a Final Fantasy town, one room was devoted to Bob. The purple cat. Somebody is a HUGE Bob fan!

A shrine to Bob.All of those Bob patterns are available from Wendell. It’s a really good dream town, but I chose not to make a Dream Suite Adventure of it. If you’d like to check it out, the dream address is 2400-0255-4927.

When I woke up from the dream, I did some shopping on Main Street. Up at GracieGrace, I bought the gorgeous seat and gorgeous lamp. For now, I’m putting my gorgeous furniture in an exhibit room at the museum.

Several pieces of gorgeous furniture.Tiffiny invited people to go touring with her, so I joined in, along with Cameron and Raven.

Tiffiny, Raven, Jeff, and Cameron.We went on a giant petaltail tour and won the gold prize.

Tortimer: That's enough to net you a Gold Tortimer award and 20 medals!Nobody seemed to want to pick the next tour, so we all sat down and just waited.

Cameron: So...Tiffiny eventually chose the elite balloon tour, but we had some connection problems. My character lagged while walking in place on a pitfall seed for a good 10 seconds or more. I couldn’t do anything!

Walking on a pitfall.Unfortunately, we disconnected. But later in the night, I returned to Tiffiny’s town and did a couple more tours with her. She also gave me a pinwheel, so thanks Tiffiny.

That’s all for today, but I’ll be back with more tomorrow!
