…Okay, my procrastination is in full force this month. But, here’s a picture of all the loot that siberakh1 sent me! =D
A gorgeous beaded parrot, minerals with stories, a suncatcher, COOKIES, cat toys, a lovely lavender spray, and a shimmering cat coaster – so much fun! Thank you!!!
May everyone have a happy, healthy, and only-good-ways crazy 2021! (Since “not crazy” is probably not an option…)

Sending best wishes to you and Liberty for swift recoveries, Bodine!

I haz a box! It has cookies & shinies in it! =D
It may be a couple more days before I can get a decent picture for posting, but – thank you, siberakh1!!!

My only surprise boxes turned out to be from my parents & forgotten Kickstarter projects, so I guess I’m still left? Not really worried about it, considering I still haven’t gotten my Christmas cards mailed out yet. *glances at waiting stack* I guess they’re more like just Holiday cards at this point? Ah, well. *wanders off to procrastinate more*

I should be able to ship my package out this weekend – been a bit of a frazzled month, but I think everything I’d collected made it in the box! Now to triple check the address and make sure it goes on the right box… XP

I received my card, and it is simply beautiful! Thank you, Melody!

I always love seeing people’s floofers. Hmm, I got a couple of cute pics of mine lately, too…

She may be too polite to mention it, but I’m not … the member’s name is whisker hunter west (someone who likes cats, not someone looking for a drink).
I’m sorry Whisker, but I crack up every time someone gets your name incorrect because I do the same thing… I think of a fine Kentucky Whiskey that I’m partial to, and is great this time of year – Wild Turkey! ^_^
Bodinetoo drinks Black Velvet everyday.Guess it is habit to automatically think whiskey.No offence intended,just an error.
Wild Turkey 101.Whoo do I remember putting some of those turkeys away😆Heh, no offense taken. I definitely chose my call-name for the cat angle, though – I keep a watch for whiskers that my cats drop, and then put them in a little jar. The only time I deal with whiskey is when I’m making bourbon balls – a family holiday favorite!

You could also look at china cabinets, which is what I’m currently using for my main dragon set. Some china cabinets are built to hold some pretty heavyweight china, and I find the storage space in the bottom half to be really useful.

April 06 update to the claims map!
Continuing the family tradition of being obsessed with shiny things.
I’m in the ‘all my choices were taken’ camp, so I’ll waiting for the next batch too. In her message to me, Melody said she will be painting more like #28, so that’s what I’m looking forward to! Darn Aaron for getting there before me. =P
I think my favorite part of making / maintaining a claim map is that I start noticing all of the details that I missed when I was focused on my immediate favorites. And every dragon still in the ‘unclaimed’ picture posted today is still beautiful with some amazing details.
I think if I were doing this again, I would make a list ranking every. single. one. of the preview dragons. And then I would decide where I put my “next batch” cut-off trigger. Especially if I was just going for a “stand-alone” shiny, and not trying to color-match for my family collection.
Luck to all of us waiting for the next batch!

All right – first claim map update! Total of 18 claimed by forum members, 44 others presumed claimed.
Continuing the family tradition of being obsessed with shiny things.
Because this is like a giant puzzle, and I adore puzzles, and it is WAY more fun than the chores like vacuuming that I have on my to-do list, I started making a visual map of what dragons have been claimed, like I did for the young Oriental GB. I figure I’ll start posting it tonight and every couple of days as people sing out what they got. At this point I’m pretty certain that every single one of my own picks was taken, so this will keep me entertained while waiting for the next batch to be released. =)
If you want to help me fill out the map, can you let me know (by post here or PM) not only what #(s) you did get, but what #s you know were already claimed / taken (ex. they were higher picks you didn’t get)? Thanks!
I know not everyone will want it publicly known which piece(s) they got. You can PM me privately and I won’t reveal any numbers linked to your name. I solemnly swear that I am making the claim map for my entertainment value only, and not as a tracker for trades or hounding.
Status so far: 10 announced as claimed, 5 assumed claimed

I guess I’m late to the party (by a whole 2.5 hours, heh!) so I’m backer #171. My claim message went in around 1:25pm – I guess by then traffic was slow enough I didn’t have any problems. Of course, there were only 176 dragons painted to start with, so who knows if ANY of them were left by the time my message went in! XP
I tried to be pretty flexible on my choice that more than anything I just want one that could be a “blend” for a Rainbow & Emerald Peacock family. My choices were 14, 28, 22, with Windstone told that if staff thought a different one would work as well or better, that’s fine.
I also put a string of “backups” in case any possible R&E/P blend were gone: any of 50, 80, 93, 107, 130, 149, 157, 160, 161. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if all of those are gone too. I guess we’ll see! I also got a Sand dragon – I’ve got a mineral in my collection, I forget its name, but it’s a warm beige-brown base with light aqua crystals, and they look just perfect for each other.

Pffft oh my gosh, I’ve been distracted getting a hot water heater replaced this AM, and some internet issues, and all of a sudden it was 1:30 PST, the KS was at $60k, and I slid in as backer #171. Wow! I didn’t have any trouble sending a KS message to Melody, and here’s to Luck for us all – that we all wanted different enough things that everyone comes out happy!
