@Totalanimefan: You're welcome, and sounds like you stayed busy! Glad you had a great time, though sorry you caught a cold. xP It really is refreshing to see greener cities like that, which was what Boise was like to me (relative to Jacksonville, it's hella clean and well-kept, plus they're very proactive over there). It's nice that the area you were at have healthy alternative transportation. We have a bus system here, but the routes only go so far, and it's the biggest city in the Southeastern US (land area wise). Also just getting from point A to point B can take forever because of how far everything is spread out, and of course people drive like maniacs here.

So yeah, totally agree living in the States can be stressful. xD
@Totalanimefan: Hoping you made it home safely by the time you read this! What was/were your favorite part(s) of the trip?
@xvz: Yep, my whole family went, so myself, fiance, kiddo, my parents, and my siblings (9 total) lol. We don't go to Disney often, mostly because it's hard to coordinate schedules between school and work. So it was a nice treat that we're counting as our Christmas present. :)

Smart of you to do layers that way! I got a nice windbreaker type jacket that also has a soft warm inner lining and I use it a ton! It hasn't yet gotten to the 30s here, but Florida does get that cold, believe it or not. Very briefly, but it does. xD

My dad takes photos as a hobby, usually of people, but he'll do animals and non-living things too. I'm not sure why someone would use a monopod vs. a tripod lol. I'm not super knowledgeable about the art of photography, so can only hope I get the right brand for him. ^^;

@Totalanimefan: Thank you!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time, but I know it'll all work out with my great support system. Sounds like a nice vacation for you, and hope you have safe travels on your return!!
@Vii: This is going down as a donation in my quest thread lol. Much appreciated!
@Vii: Yay! Thank you so much! <333 I've always wanted one of these, so got excited that you're giving them away lol.

Her Grace
★★★★✩
I loved the ears/crown combo as well as the pose of the arms. Overall a very well-done item, but the one thing that kills it for me is the legs. I love the knock-kneed, pigeon-toed look, but I feel the execution of this pose was way off as the legs come off as broken and overall uncomfortable. Perhaps if the item was given a creepier look, it would fit the theme better, but overall feel like this pose was out of place. One thing I do appreciate about the legs is the detail in the ribbons, shoes, and stockings. I would have loved a straighter-legged version of this pose.

His Elegance
★★★★✩
Again a very well-designed item! Very fond of the ears/crown combo. The hair is a bit similar to many other styles we already have, but overall a very well-rounded item. The detail in the flower foreground is spectacular, and I love the flowiness of the cape!

Plague Doctor
★★★★★
Such a wonderful item and I have no critique for it other than to say job very well done!! Couldn't have asked for a better execution!

Sacred Shrine Guard
★★★★✩
I love that these antlers have the tokens/talismans (?) attached, which make them stand out from other antlers we have. <3 The sleeve is a pose similar to a tattoo for me, which I love, and hope we get more of in the future. The one thing I wish came as a separate pose is the tail as I love the dotted fluffy look to it, but overall love this item!
Yep, always a gamble with Blackjack, but I can't resist playing anyway lol. I pretty much use the same strategy as you and hit with 16 or lower.

Nice! Hmm, favorite ride is hard to say. Small World and Haunted Mansion come to mind, but there are others.

Sounds like you had a great vacation! I've never been to Texas (other than through the airports from time to time) so that sounds like fun! I'm sure the climate is very similar to Florida lol.

I have no idea what favorite scents anyone has, otherwise I'd definitely go with like a spa kit or something for some people. Not to mention, no idea if anyone's allergic to any of that stuff.

The monopod is used for a camera, kinda like a tripod, except it's just a stick. Uhh, think like a selfie stick you position on the ground, I guess? Except he doesn't use them for selfies, but that's the closest analogy I could come up with haha.

That sounds like a nice gift! I like getting practical gifts as well as for-fun gifts.
Have you tried playing Blackjack yet? It's an easy way to get 250 event currency daily!

For Thanksgiving, I went to Disney. xD Well, Thanksgiving Day was spent at Animal Kingdom, and the 3 days after that were at Magic Kingdom lol. So that was fun! I'm working Christmas, but I don't mind since I got my Thanksgiving vacation. Did you do anything fun yet?

Yep, some people are sooo hard to shop for, like my siblings sometimes. x-x I never know what they like anymore, and when I ask, they'll go 'idk'. xP One of my coworkers and also a supervisor like plants/gardening, so probably going to get them house plants or something along those lines. Not sure what kind yet as I'm going to ask for recommendations and research. For my fiance, he wants a Mexican mortar and pestle called a molcajete (not even sure if I spelled that right). My mom suggested that I get a monopod for my dad since his current one broke/isn't functioning like it should. Aaaand I'm still coming up with ideas for the others I want to shop for.

Do you have gift ideas for your loved ones?
Hey xvz! It's been a while!

Are those the only 2 EIs you want, or did you want a set?

And thank you!! I was really excited about these eyes in the Dream Door EI lol. Thanks again for the congrats!

I've got my family to shop for, so parents, siblings, fiance, and son. And I wanted to shop for some coworkers and managers if I can because I really appreciate them. I have some ideas for some people, but am stuck on others.
@Vii: If it's still available, could I please claim a DJ FURocious grab bag item?
@Totalanimefan: Been pretty good! Latest news for me is getting a promotion, which I get my new title next month, and my new car finally got here, so been very happy recently!

I've yet to start my Christmas shopping, which is how I usually do. XD I'm hoping to start either this weekend or early next week.

How about you? I see that you took a trip to the UK?
@Totalanimefan: Probably, but it's fine. I know life gets hella busy (mine always seems to be lately).

If I had prizes worth giving, and more time to dedicate here, I'd consider running a contest myself.
@Yae Meiji: I do indeed. :) Are you still interested?
@icedchai: Thank you! :) Hope you enjoy your items! I'm looking forward to playing with my Mari Lwyds once I get tired of this avi lol.
