☆ Serenity and the gang are wishing everyone a great first weekend of 2009! Thanks again to all of you for all the Christmas and New Years gifts...WE LOVE YOU ALL!

☆The latest thing from fluff is more food...Toasted Marshmallows and popcorn. Thanks Michelle for testing. Serenity doesn't like them much (+2). She didn't like the jello either but she loves the Champagne...LOL (opposite me) We still haven't seen any popcorn decos for sale....2 days and they haven't fixed that yet...maybe they are on holiday. Also please beware!!!! Check out the holiday shop! It says that the holiday shop is now closed and ALL things have gone to the LE shop...you can still buy the stuff in the regular shops however but that means that it's all going to the LE shop soon...so buy it now!

☆ We have been trying to make our rounds to say thank you, to say hello in the New Year and vote on everyones art but the task is a bit overwhelming sometimes...if we haven't gotten to you yet we are doing the best we can and we'll hopefully get there soon.

☆ As with some of our friends, we find the holidays a difficult time of year because we are far away from friends and family and in foreign surroundings. We hope everyone who is experiencing holidays can just hang in there a bit longer cause this time too shall pass and then we can get on with our year!...things around our house are getting a bit better but it was a rough start to the year. We were thinking a lot about it and thinking maybe the holidays bring with them too many hopes, expectations and disappointments. Maybe next year we'll learn something and approach the holidays with zero expectations from our husband (who is Thai and doesn't even celebrate)...it's probably unfair on our part to expect him to celebrate something he has no idea about...again our different cultures can be a challenge.

☆ TODAY WE ARE COLLECTING our regular things such as Deco tickets, fluff ades and useful things for my art.

☆ Maple's Quest... It's the New Year and time to get busy on th Maple story. Maple enjoyed a feast with his friends. After the party, Maple went to the edge of the forest and gazed at the stars wondering how he would ever find the lion. His nerves had set in and he was now worried again about the journey ahead. He missed his mother terribly and couldn't sleep much.
