Site Update
Hello everyone! I wanted to give you a bit of a heads up that I'll be changing the stock in my shop come January 7th! So if you want to own any of these pretty pets I currently am selling, you should buy them before January 7th. On January 7th they will be permanently retired and new pets will take their place!
Also a big giant thank you to Kousei (#25044) for being the new Pet Coloration Submissions Forum helper!
I was also told to put the word out that applications for the various breeding teams are still open! We have GP contract spots open for BC, LBC, RBC, and potentially MBC! If your application wasn't responded to in the last round, you can re-do your application and try again if you want. n_n You can find the applications here.
Also if you like being an eggnog artist (or are a previous eggnog artist or BC-type artist) and want something similar on a short temporary basis (GP paid), we're working on knocking out the drinking game breeding backlog. Send me a PM if you're interested with examples of your breeding work! If you haven't been a breeding artist for one of those teams but are still interested in temp work as a drinking game artist, you'll need to submit a BC application and mention that you're interested in the drinking game breedings.

T4T: In Tribute
Items
"We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of Earth' to 'touch the face of God. ... Sometimes, when we reach for the stars, we fall short. But we must pick ourselves up again and press on despite the pain." -- President Ronald Reagan, 1986.
Thirty years on, we have been asked to place this item in Trash for Treasure to commemorate the lives lost in the tragic Challenger disaster, and to remind us that those who have passed before will always live on within those that remember them.
This HA background will be stocking until February 1st.

~*Merry Aymas!*~
Site Update
The Seasonal Shop has opened its doors and is inviting you in with the smell of freshly baked cookies!
The Seasonal Shop will be open through January 5, 2016 at 11:59 p.m., a full week (plus a little extra)!
You can adventure in the Holiday Lane until January 5th as well, giving you ample time to snag what you need from the area. :) We will also be adding a final batch of pets to the region tomorrow.
Time to cuddle up with your favorite furry companion and a blanket, because I'm about to tell you a Seasonal Shop bedtime story! :3
We have three new fauna friends who have journeyed from the arctic to join us!
The Ermine, Arctic Woolly Bear and Beluga Whale might be from a frigid climate, but they are sure to warm your pets' hearts.
Though, if you're like me, the quickest way to your heart might be through edible treats.
From the decadent Coquilles Saint Jacques to the romantic Love Pomegranate and sweet Springerle, you have quite a few tasty options to refuel your energy this holiday season.
If you need something, ahem, a bit stronger, we do have Rudolph's Elixir and a Jack Frost Shot on tap.
Whether you'd rather sleep away December, step outside in style, or do as many ice- and snow-related activities as possible, we've got a wardrobe for that!
The Holiday Pajama Trunk will ensure your HA is tucked in snugly, and even comes with bedtime snacks; the set includes cookie crumbs, a hat, nightstand, onesie pajamas, and slippers.
For something a little fancier, the Winter Glam Trunk includes a dress, gloves, jacket, necklace, and shoes.
If you want to step outside in something geared more toward the chillier elements, the Ice Skater Trunk might have what you're after. It includes a coat, hat, pants, scarf, ice skates, and actual ice!
You can preview all of the clothing pieces and accessories above via Preview Wardrobe.
Speaking of being active out in the elements, we have three new weaponry pieces that will help you conquer Adventure and help protect your holiday haul! The North Pole Wand, Enchanted Horseshoes, and Chimney Brick Shield will offer you various bonuses in speed, toughness, power, and elemental resistance. Check out their item database entries for full stat details.
If you'd rather have adventures at the Standing Stones, I have a gift from the sky--Heavenly Wings!
Make your pet appear as though it has come from on high with this Angel themed add-on! Using this item on your BC or HBC breeding instructs the artist to add some angelic edits to your offspring. Examples include halos, feathery wings, serene expressions, celestial sashes, harps.
Now, if your travels take you to the forums, we also have a couple new forum title/achievements for you to unlock! If you've listened to the mischevious voice in your head this year, you might get a Coal Filled Stocking, which unlocks the forum title "Naughty." However, if you have listened to your good shoulder angel throughout the year, you might get the Angelic Stocking, which unlocks the forum title "Everything Nice." NOTE: These have not yet been activated; an announcement will be made when they are working.
To add a little extra holiday cheer to your lair, we have three sprinkle-themed items.
The Glittering Gold Sprinkles will change your active pet into one of 6 exclusive colorations at random. I won't post them here in case you want to be surprised, but the options are: A Pony for Aymas Lackei, Peace on Earth Kitsera, Festive Reindeer Koaf, Baby Reindeer Palli, Peppermint Bark Poofle, Reindeer Idolia.
A dash of Red and White Sprinkles will turn your active pet into a coloration from Holiday Lane 2015 at random.
Stocking in the Trash for Treasure shop to help you out with your pet collections, we have the Silver Sprinkles. This item will transform your active pet into a random coloration from the 2015 Aymas Seasonal Shop.
Here is a small sampling of the 24 beautiful pets you will find stocking in the store:
Brilliant job on the pets this year (and every year)! <3 Thank you for helping us keep the Aywapedia as incredible as it is!
If you're itching to create even more festive pets, you're in luck, since we have two custom-creating items for you!
Returning from previous years are the Ice Rocks, which will allow you to create a Winter Soli shopkeeper custom with up to 30% edits. As always, you can also create the default shopkeeper image (depicted above) if you'd like a copy of it in your lair.
Click here to download the PSD.
And finally, we have the enchanted Magic Soot Potion, which will allow you to create one of the 2015 Holiday Shopkeepers with up to 30% edits. You met these critters last night, but here they are again!
Ugly Sweater Bumble PSD | Wrapped Up Linorm PSD | Holiday Tree Chromo PSD
We hope you like them! <3 As always, if you want copies of the default images above, you can use a Magic Soot Potion to upload them.
Click on the PSD text above to download their respective PSDs.
I think that just about does it, folks! I just have a few quick notes for you to keep in mind:
- Be sure to keep visiting the Advent Calendar throughout December! The Aymas Snowglobe will be openable soon; I'll make an announcement as soon as it is ready.
- Note that items/pets may take around 60 seconds to show up in your inventory/lair since you are "crafting" them with your Candy Canes and Snowflakes!
- If you encounter any problems with the Seasonal Shop or any of the items/pets, post a glitch thread and a staff member or Yasu will check it out to ensure our elves didn't booby-trap anything.
We hope you enjoy everything! <3
Thank you for celebrating another Aymas with us, and we wish you all a very happy holiday season online and off, no matter what you celebrate. :3

Seasonal Shop Warning

Items and pets can change price and/or function prior to the official opening of the shop, and we will NOT issue refunds for any premature purchases.
Thank you!

Eggnog Artists Wanted
Site Update
The Eggnog Queue is rapidly inflating, meaning we need a lot more artists to work on it! If you're interested (especially if you have experience with the GCC Team or the breeding teams), please contact me with examples of your edits. If you have prior site team experience, please indicate that.
Lists are pairs of 5. Offspring are 30% edited and pay $15.
The deadline is 7 days. Artists are welcome to take double lists with a 10 day deadline (prepay is offered for this option - mention if interested). Double lists also include a bonus $25 if turned in before the 10 day deadline.
If you're a user and have submitted an eggnog, remember that you can edit the notes for the breeding to indicate five normal/non-rare hybrids you'd like your artist to select from.
Submissions with no breeding notes are given a random hybrid, and are eligible to receive a rare hybrid if extra lucky.
Submissions with a list that includes rare hybrids will be given a random normal hybrid, so be sure to make sure your lists contain all normal hybrids.
