Site Update
As promised, I have a Cracked Teacup update for you!
If you made a donation in the designated timeframe and emailed me your proof, you should have now received your item(s) unless I had a question for you or there was some missing information.
So, if you don't have your items yet, please check your email for a response from me. :3 If you don't have an email from me but didn't get your teacups, please send me a PM and re-send your proof (double check that it went to [email protected]).
Once I get everything taken care of I will post our final fundraising total -- along with part of a very special note we received from one of the charities that received support from Aywas members!

Breeding Mistakes Reminder
Site Update
With miss Mauri still out of the country, I was instructed to give you all a reminder about the Breeding Mistakes thread!
Babies born after September 13, 2013 can be posted in the thread until June 6th.
After June 6, the thread adopts the original policy of only allowing babies less than a month (30 days) old to be posted.
Remember to get those babies posted by June 6th at 11:59 p.m. :3
(And please thoroughly read the first and second post in the thread before posting any babies.)
Thank you!

New Flag + Reminder
Site Update
An Intersex Pride Flag has been added to the BP Shop!
(Thank you for the request/suggestions; our apologies for not originally including this representation.)
This one is in the BP Shop because it was not part of the original stock, and we did not want anyone to miss out on it if they had already spent their points. It will be available through May 31st at 11:59 p.m.
The Cracked Teacups fundraiser closes tonight after 11:59 p.m.
As long as you contact me with your proof and/or questions by this time, you will be eligible for the item.
I appreciate your patience with me as I work on sending these out amid the other event festivities and site happenings.
Thank you!

Garden Tea Party Seasonal Shop!
Site Update
The Seasonal Shop is now officially open!
(Lorin also has a link in the shop where you can exchange your flowers.)
Now accepting Flower points through May 31st at 11:59 p.m.
Grab some tea, cake, and pull up a chair while I introduce you to everything the Seasonal Shop has to offer. :3
Make room in your HA's wardrobe, because we have a lot of new wearables for you!
These five pride flags are on holdable staffs and can all be previewed here!
We also have a large assortment of accessories, including a pretty Rainbow Paper Lantern, Red Ribbon Pin for HIV/AIDS awareness and support, and holdable versions of the Violets and Green Carnations you collected all week (thank you for the suggestion on these!). I encourage you to check out the variety we have through Preview Wardrobe to mix and match. :)
The Tea Gardener set might look familiar to you, as Kei graciously donated the set to this event for you all to enjoy! The Tea Gardener Wardrobe contains six items (hair, hat, jacket, shorts, shoes, and garden).
For our fauna lovers, we now have an Otter and Purple Rhino for you to take home!
(Though you should probably get a few extra for some of your pets to play with, too.)
We certainly can't have a tea party without cake! The Rainbow Cake item will restore 5 points of energy and regenerates once a week, so your last bite will never truly be your last~
Up next is the glowing Bottled Confidence item, which I truly hope you all enjoy.
When you Use this item on another user (click Use, don't actually transfer/send the item to them), it will send them a notification that reads:
Sender's Username (#) thinks you are wonderful and wishes you all the happiness in the world!
Not only will you cheer a fellow player up, but by sending this item, you will unlock two forum titles/achievements--one for yourself, and one for the recipient. As a sender, you will unlock the title "Complimentary" in the default font color. The recipient will have the title "Bright" unlocked, which will appear in rainbow colors. Therefore, to have both titles, you must both use this item on another person, and have someone use it on you! :3
I am also very excited to announce the winner of our Garden Tea Party Background contest!
All of the submissions were wonderful, and I was very pleased to see so many different styles and renderings of the prompt. We will definitely have to do more of these in the future!
Without further ado, congratulations to Ixyra (#35936)!
Background image preview. We will be adding this to the Knowledge Base shortly.
The Garden Tea Party Theme item will permanently unlock this site background/theme for your account, while the Garden Tea Party Wallpaper is a wearable version for your HA.
Last but not least (for the items, anyway) is the Bottled Pride!
This is a magic potion that will change your active pet into one of 10 colorations not available in the Seasonal Shop. I won't post them here in case you want to be surprised, but the description does contain a full list of the 10 possibilities.
And now, for the pets! We had many requests for this shop to be filled with pets, and we were able to make this happen with the amount of incredible submissions we received. Below is just a sampling of the 30 individual pets you will find in the store!
Please note that I did accept some additional pets that didn't make it into the shop, but will be used as site pets in other ways. Keep an eye out for that! I will also be handling prize/pet payments throughout the week, as well as updating the current pets with description details and all that jazz. :3
Cheers!
(And don't forget that our HIV/AIDS fundraiser for the Cracked Teacups is open through May 27th at 11:59 p.m.)
Thank you on behalf of Kei and myself for helping us create wonderful things for this event!

HA Colouring - Vote!
Items
Please select your vote.
----------
Apologies again for the tardiness - I haven't been well for a few days and judging these wasn't working so well with fuzzy eyesight!
I'm going to permanently move the colouring vote to the 26th, and hopefully having the extra time to choose the finalists will mean no more delays =)
Thank you all for your patience.

Memorial Day Sale - USD Items
Items
A bit more information in its own news post for these!
You may claim item tier bonuses for USD Shop/Paintbrush purchases throughout the sale too - it just requires an extra step. When you're done picking up items from the shop, drop me a message with each transaction amount and I'll send along the bonus items you qualify for!
You can do this up until the tiered item bonuses expire on May 27, 11:59 PM.
In addition, Hiiro has suggested some new items above: packages that contain painted coins and Painted Rares for a dollar less =) Useful for those Teos everyone is enjoying breeding lately.
