that makes sense too, Kaderin.

i use the 9mm eyes the most

Wow! Wish we could all go craft shopping together.
We can start at one store and store hop! haha

actually that would probably be dangerous, Moonshadow... but a lot of fun, too. XD

nah...I'm the Momma I will keep us all safe. hahaha ohhhhhh you mean how much money we will spend? yeah, well you are right too dangerous.

yep, all the money we'd spend. =)

but we'd have a great time, i'm sure.

what state to we all want to meet in?

Trystan: Yeah. I use 10mm and 12mm slit pupil eyes. I just checked the site I order from and the most expensive ones are only 67 cents per pair. Not terrible.

Moon: If I had the money for a shopping spree that would be fantastic!

plugging numbers into my calculator - using a 55% off coupon, it works out to about 30 cents per pair of 9mm eyes i use. and i'm usually going there for something else already, so i probably wouldn't factor in the gas in my car that i used. =)

That's a really good deal. I am cursing my stores for not carrying the eyes I need.
:c

well that's rude of your stores!

That's what I thought too! But the odds of them having the slit-pupil eyes seem kind of slim anyway.

yeah, i could see that. i use the solid black eyes, which are probably pretty common

Ah. Yeah. Those would be pretty common.

Kaderin! love the wings!

derp just realized contest deadline passed. ok i'll get that done soon

Alright is was super close but of all the strangers I asked to pick a winner Lee's got one more vote so Lee wins this coloring contest!

Trystan: Thanks! They are one of the daily items from this event actually.
I started checking some of the items and discovered we had gotten wings. (I had forgotten.) And I LOOOOVVVE wings!

that's pretty cool, Lee.

Michael's used to have a weird system - you could bulk order things we didn't have in the stores through a service they had, and a customer had to go into the store to have an employee place the bulk order. and then they changed their website so you can actually shop on it, and order whatever was on the site in however many quanities you need.

now, there are some people who haven't been in the store in many years, and they think you can still do bulk orders the old way or don't realise you can order items online, and that they can do it themselves.

there's also the people that don't understand the online site is a different creature than the stores. while the stores have quite a number of items that you can get online, there's also online only items as well as in-store only items.

so if a store has an ordering system like you describe, Lee, that's awesome!

and you're quite welcome, Kaderin! =)

I like how you used them! I keep looking at them and making a face cause they never work for me.

congrats, Lee!

Thanks Tiva. I started with the wings and basically constructed the avi around them.

Haha...unless I have something specific in mind for the avi, that's usually how I build them.

But only with simple avis...
I can't handle complex avis with more than about 3 colors usually.

This is true.
I'm just so used to avi sites where if your avi is too simple in design, you can't win any contests or anything with it because complex layering is the preferred asthetic.
XD

8O
Yay! I am getting good at avi design!

Kad: you are amazing at making avis!
Check your inbox, I PM'd you about the stones.

Ah yes, I got it.
I had to giggle a little, because one of the ones in the middle row on the right end is actually the tiger's eye. But my phone really is bad with pics.
And most of them being various agates actually isn't much of a surprise. I think most of the stones were from those souvineer "pick your own bag if stones" things that most national parks seem to have.

I'm back~

Ventured out to the mall . . . I was hoping I could convince my mom to let me upgrade my iphone but no such luck. Instead she put me on her phone plan so I'm paying less which is cool but still bummed XD

I did get doctor who monopoly though ouo

Oooh! Nice!
I am jealous!

Good afternoon all!
I got off an hour early today that was nice =3

Some of the stones were hard to identify, just because I could not see the color or the sheen. Yes, those "fill a bag" stones are usually all agates. But they are pretty though, I put them in glass containers, and they always cheer me up.

glad to hear it sparx, hopefully you get some time to relax

Trying for the most part
I got some cheese slices from my mom that have dutch gouda and creamy havarti im nibbling on with some triscuits while playing sims and SLOWLY catching up with trisphee

i'm sorry for whining at you during your relaxing time D:

Psh you aren't whining =3
