The Jamaalidays are here!

Hello!
As promised, I am resuming posting. Today is the first day of the Jamaaliday gift calendar, yes, already. I love the gift, it's entirely new and so cute! <3
Say hello, LOUDER, to the Jamaaliday hedge! That's it :D You make mummy proud xD

This is the gift calendar, as a whole...

Members get additional diamonds on December 4,6,7,9,10,12,13,16,18,19,21,23,24,25,27,29 and 31! Phew, that's a lot of days ^-^

What are you going to do with your new Jamaaliday Hedge? It's up to you! Maybe line  a path with them, or decorate a winter garden with them! 

It's awesome how gifts will be given all throughout December, it's a nice little change...

The Jamaalidays have officially hit Jamaa! I have logged on today to Animal Jam and was a bit disappointed to find Jamaa Township still in its Autumn style today, but when I came back a little later, guess what I discovered!

Yup, welcome winter! Time is going way too fast... O.o

If you look around, you will find plenty of brand-new decorations, perhaps some of them will be future Jamaaliday gifts! The fountain has also been transformed to a wonderful fireplace,isn't winter amazing? 

You can buy some old Jamaaliday gifts at the Diamond Shop- 1 diamond each, and for all Jammers!

You can also buy the Gingerbread house den, a classic since its first appearance as a Monthly Member Gift in 2011! 

Today's rare item is...

The Rare Beaded Necklace!

Alright, that's all for today... the blog has been tidied up a bit and given a new Jamaaliday layout!

Look out for the Jamaaliday Jam tour, as that has also arrived! :D

New Candy Hunt!

Hello!  <⎨•◡•⎬>--✶*•・∙
We have two new items today- one is the rare item Monday and another is an addition to the Spooky Party. (^o^)
The rare item Monday item can be found in Jam-Mart clothing, on the 8th page.

Those wings were originally Friendship Festival items, and they do actually look like they are made out of balloons. However... I love the colour, and it's a very good item for making costumes! Have you got your AJ Hallowe'en costume sorted? I haven't yet, but I will do so in the very near future >o<

I haven't got my real life costume sorted either yet, but I'm bound to come up with something :P

The new item at the spooky party is ...

Never was a big fan of this item, but it would compliment a haunted mansion extremely well. I hope there's a non-member item any time soon :O

And to finish off... don't forget about my plushie and toy stores and my graphics & banners service, which is still running! 

In celebration of Hallowe'en, I have a candy hunt on the blog. It has been running since yesterday, but I made yesterday's prize very tiny because I haven't officially announced the hunt in a post yet and I wanted to keep it fair.

The picture on the right hand side >>> of the blog will direct you to a page with more details when clicked. 

Now, the hunt works like this.

Every day, a picture of a candy is hidden in a different location on the blog. It can be anywhere- on any page, any post... 

To save you frantically searching every single post on the blog, a clue which helps you to find the candy of the day is published on the page which you can reach by clicking the candy hunt picture >>>.

When you find it, there will be a link which directs you to the prize page!

On a usual day, there are 2 prizes available.

The first is a 'token', and although it might seem puzzling now, I have a bit of advice for you-- save each and every one of those tokens because you will need them!

You can screenshot or download the tokens, whichever works best for you.Also, to keep things fair, the token will change once every two days. 

So, this means that yesterday's token will also be in today's prize, but it will change tomorrow. This hopefully makes it easier to collect them all.

Another piece of advice- if you miss a token, do not give up! Get the rest before it gets worse! :o

The second prize is actually something different, and it can range from a wide variety of things.

For example, yesterday's prize was a random plushie from the plushie stores (tiny, yes, because yesterday was the first day of the hunt and not everyone was aware of it).

Alright, so those are the rules for the candy hunt. Don't forget, to keep it fun- don't comment or tell anyone else where the candy of the day is, and if you don't find the day's candy, don't fret!

Next, please vote on the poll! Your views mean a lot to me, it's so cool finding out about my viewers.

Next, do you have any of the Summer Carnival hats below? If you do, don't hesitate to let me know- we can arrange a trade... I'm a fair trader! ^-^' I don't bite.

okay that was a huge lie haha

No, don't worry, that was just another rather pathetic attempt to be a bit more... entertaining, I suppose.

Anyway, here's the list!

Moon Hats

*Pink

*Purple

*White

*Brown

*Teal-ish

*Black

Sun Hats

*Black

Beanies

*Brown

*Pink

*Purple

Umbrella Hats

*Blue

*White

*Purple

Make a bunny's day? :3 Come on, too much of this can get really tiring...

CAN YOU SEE HOW THAT ARCTIC WOLF JUST... STEPPED OVER MY TAG? D:

Right, that's all I have for today-- good luck with the candy hunt! I'm hoping to update this blog today. Paws crossed!

Surprising Trades+WootMoo is definitely a hacker

Hello! ❀◕ ‿ ◕❀

Ouch, I'm quite achy today, and probably will be for a while {(>○<)}

Today we have four spooky new items, which are...

The Spooky table in Outback Imports. Matches the spooky rug well, and I actually like this as a Hallowe'en item!

The Scary Mask in the Spooky Party clothing shop. Another fairly nice item!

The angry Jack-o'-Lantern in Treetop Gardens. Doesn't look too angry to me...

Finally, a skeleton mask in Bahari Bargains! This is quite neat. 

I'm going to give this blog a Hallowe'en make-over, so hopefully that is something to look forward to ^o^

I am also working on some new pages, but for the sake of keeping this blog exciting I won't reveal what they are yet.

As a side topic, rarity of some items has shifted so much over the history of Jamaa, so in this post I'm going to feature pretty much some of the most surprising trades that were perfectly fair not too long ago!

Of course, everyone has varying degrees of knowledge about Animal Jam and I can't guarantee you will be gasping at all of them, but I'm quite sure at least some of those will surprise you ^o^

This was fair in around Summer 2012,and I'm quite sure it remained so a bit earlier and later, too.

This is how I got a long blue spiked wristband in autumn 2012- I traded a silver bow and arrows for it.

More or less a fair trade in Summer 2012.

This was fair, before Viking Hats came back as a rare item Monday.

                                               

I did this in Summer 2013 and they accepted, so I can only assume it  was fair back then O-o

Before the Forgotten Desert, when beards were super rare, this was a perfectly good trade.

There are plenty more trades like this, and I will probably do more at a later date, but I'm a bit too tired to make any more today.

...The part about WootMoo...

When I was taking item pictures for the side topic above, I was in Aldan's Crystal Sands and spotted WootMoo using incredibly bad language.

As you know, it is not possible for an ordinary player to do this. The only way would be to hack the AJHQ systems and disable chat filters, but whatever method-- it has a 99% chance of being illegal.

Anyway, the screenshots are all legit and taken today. I just noticed someone use bad language, clicked the tag and was quite shocked to see WootMoo.

Even more evidence to support the theory he is a hacker.

Note: The screenshots below have very inappropriate language, you have been warned.  

Please be wary of people like WootMoo, stay safe and Jam on!

Egyptian Beard

Hello!
Yay, I got another opportunity to post :D
I'm afraid the Birthday Party tour will have to wait until I'm back, but I can do a special post today.
The wedding was great, today is the second day and I hope it will be plenty of fun.
Anyway, the new item today is uh… well, um, let's just say weird. Ugly. Awkward. Uh… yeah. It's the *ahem* Egyptian Beard. Here you go. LOOK AT IT. JUST LOOK.

How… weird? O-o

I doubt many people are going to wear it, but okay, then…..

Makes me wonder what is going to come out tomorrow.

Today's new video is one of those;

Before I zoom off to prepare for the second day of the wedding, I'm going to discuss my blog's appearance x3

Fun, huh :P

Anyway, currently the blog changes in sync with the seasons in Jamaa. So, the blog is in Summer mode right now because it's still Summer in Jamaa. When Jamaa Township becomes tinted orange and the leaves scatter on the ground, I'm going to change the blog into an Autumn layout. As soon as Jamaa gains a dark atmosphere, Day of the Phantoms is going to be approaching and I will adjust the layout of the blog accordingly. Get me? Yup, you do.

Though at some point (I will inform you all) I might decide to change the layout monthly, so for instance on the 1st of December I would change the blog into a Jamaaliday layout instead of whenever Jamaalidays arrive in Jamaa. Yup, that's all for now. I'm dashing off now, the special post is going to be later today or whenever I get to post. Bye bye! :D

Jamaa Journal Volume 126-5 September 2014

Hello Jammers!
Wow, I have missed everyone. I have finally received a chance to post today, and my vacation has been going great so far. Lots of shopping has been involved for sure, and yesterday I was in a cable car up a mountain. The wedding is today, so I'm excited x3
Anyway, I'm going to get through Thursday's update and new items since then, but nothing before that. Sorry! I'm sure you got information from other blogs, though :3
So, I'm going to start with the Jamaa Journal. Off we go!

If you love Sugar Gliders in real life, you might want to consider getting a pet version! I think sugar gliders are REALLY adorable in the real world, but unfortunately I can't get an AJ version. Oh well x3

If you are member, have 3 diamonds to spare and at least one available pet slot- why not buy a pet sugar glider in the diamond shop?

Yes, Animal Jam is 4 years old! Wow. Time DID fly, it seems like a month ago when AJ turned 2 and feels like last week when I was redeeming my 3rd birthday cake code. 4 years- Animal Jam has been up for quite a while now! If you want to join the celebrations, visit the AJ birthday party which I will do a guide of once I get there. Cake world!
Furthermore, why not enter the code AJBDAY4 when you log in? You will receive an AWESOME cake which starts off VERY, VERY small…

Try clicking on different areas around the cake and it will grow and change! Of course, I won't spoil it for you but I have experienced the whole cycle and it's plenty of fun! Hint: you know the cycle is finished and you have experienced it all when the cake returns to its original appearance.

Yes, there's a new armour set now available in the Diamond Shop! It's called the Diamond Encrusted armour, and two pieces are non-member! Great! The tail and the gauntlets.

The non-member set: 3 diamonds in total
The member set: 6 diamonds in total
Full set: 9 diamonds in total
There is also a brand new Egyptian Treasure set, full of sparkly and gold items for your den!

Non-members can also enjoy the Golden Egyptian Scarab and Papyrus Scrolls so far! 

Buy your very own Egyptian Hat over at Jam-mart clothing, and keep your eyes peeled for more of those items!

Hmm, well I'm quite sure it's the Panda! Their return date is most likely to be September 18, and to be honest I'm glad they are returning because Pandas are my favourite animals in real life! 

The beta party, which was released quite recently, is leaving now for the season. I think the beta party is therefore a seasonal party held every summer, which makes sense because beta testing only took place in the Summer of 2010. So, before it leaves stock up on beta-themed den items, explore the average Jammer's den 4 years ago and perhaps recall good times in Jamaa! 

The summer carnival, the perfect place to grab a cotton candy and play games to win tickets to exchange for prizes is soon going to be withdrawn from the land of Jamaa until next Summer. Probably because this outdoor celebration cannot withstand the colder weather facing us all x3

Before it goes, indulge in your favourite cotton candy combos, create some last phantom cotton candies, play your favourite games to stock up on tickets and buy a large supply of prizes.Oh, and take advantage of all accessories being on sale for 50% off! 

A reminder telling you that you can buy gift certificates from Animal Jam outfitters that come with bonus gems and diamonds. Have you ever bought anything from there? I have bought an Arctic Wolf 3 month membership certificate last December.
There is a bunny claw available in the Diamond shop, which I bought already x3

That's it for today, I'm not sure when I will get my next opportunity to post but I hope it's soon. Look forward to perhaps a special post for AJ's 4th birthday  and a tour of the birthday party!
It's September, which can mean only one thing- yes, fall is coming closer! This blog is soon going to get a fall make-over, when fall comes to Jamaa. I assume that is going to be next update, so say goodbye to Summer and welcome Autumn with open arms ^-^
Have a great day and Jam on!

Flip the flops

Hey!
It's Monday- for those that started school I guess you're not particularly happy about that. Yup, Monday- the start of the extremely difficult obstacle course known as the school week. Five obstacles. Monday is the first. Each obstacle seizes hours off your valuable time.
The school week basically feels like an eternity, end of story.
Never fear! AJHQ seems to be keeping the Summer spirit up quite well, with this super Summery rare item Monday.

Yes, it's member. Yes, it's expensive. That colour scheme though! Can't resist that. 

If you want to enjoy the last month of Summer in style (and you have a membership and at least 900 gems!) then you should buy those funky flip-flops. Like,right out of the 90s.

A spooky video in the Sarepia Theatre, just please don't watch it at night. Like, seriously. Don't.

In the Dark. Yes, the deep mysterious dark. Welcome to a void full of unanswered questions and conspiracy theories. Ho ho.

Would you look at that!

I got a gift. No, better than that. THREE mystery gifts.

Not my first time, and it won't be my last.

Oh, you want to know what I got. Okay.

Pink bat glasses, a freedom bunny hat and... and...

a blue old hood. Okay. Could have been better. Like, if I got a magenta bow and arrows, a black worn blanket and then a red pirate sword. That would have been cooler.

Whatever though!

A gift is a gift, right?

On to blog stuff. Thank you so so so much for voting so far! :D

4 votes. Come on- keep voting. Now I know the AJR is doing well in terms of views. :3

It's up to me and several others to keep the AJ blogging community as lively and fun as it always was- we can do it, right?

There's a new gadget that tells you how many people are viewing the Animal Jam Rainbow, so it's also quite useful to know when the best time is to go on the chat function. For instance, if the counter showed '1', you would know not to go on chat because nobody was going to be on. That saves a few seconds of your time! 

Thank me, yes.

If the counter showed, hmm... '3', you would know it's quite a good time to go on chat.

You know, to check who's on. :3

I also post little updates and stuff through the chat.

I can't wait for my first graphic order, so YOU BETTER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT RIGHT NOW.

Okay, that sounds a bit harsh O-o

Anyway, I can make graphics for a wide range of people.

Thumbnails for YouTubers? Check.

For instance, if you want a thumbnail for a Sky High video because you won a black pirate sword and that is something that is going to win you a bunch of views, I could try making something like this;

Or my favourite classic neon animals! >:D

He he. He.

SO NEON YOUR EYES HURT.

And I can also tint you, or even try giving you a member name tag if you're not a member!

Meet Awesome. Awesome is a Panda.

Awesome likes purple and wants a nice profile picture. Check!

Awesome is now a happy panda and can live up to her name :D

That's all for today, don't forget I'm going on vacation on Wednesday. :D
