Site Update
Evening, folks!
Our elves are busily working behind the scenes to get the Seasonal Shop shined up, so I have a few disclaimers to announce while they're adding finishing touches. :3
This is your standard warning to not make any purchases from the Seasonal Shop as we are inputting pets/items, as they could change price or function. As always, refunds or exchanges will not be offered for premature purchases.
Thank you!
(Also, if you have any favorite holiday/winter music suggestions, please note it in the comments below! I'm always looking for new tunes to have in the background when I do stuff like this. XD)

To all a goodnight!
Site Update
It seems a sleigh has been spotted in the sky on its way to Ay and Ara!
If you've been nice this year (and remember to visit the Advent Calendar any time on the 25th), you will be rewarded with...
... an Enchanted Chimney!
As you can guess by the name, this is no ordinary pile of bricks.
When you use this item from your inventory, it will open up into the following presents:
The Sugar Cookies are an edible energy treat, the Charmed Soot is a fauna companion for your pets, and the Reindeer Snowprints provide evidence someone's been prancing around while the Santa Lunaris Plush is a familiar cuddly collectable for a chilly night! You will also find a Candy Cane nestled among these goodies, which will come in handy for the Seasonal Shop (scheduled to open on December 26th).
Enjoy! The Advent Calendar will continue to give out presents through the end of the month and on New Year's Day, so remember to keep checking back. c:
Once the 25th arrives, you can also begin opening the gifts under your Holiday Tree (and continue to send out presents). And don't forget to wish friends and strangers alike a very Merry Aymas with a card from the BP Shop! A little good cheer can go a long way. :3

Artist Streaming
Site Update
Another artist is streaming at 11:00 PM Aywas Time on the Aywas Livestream.
Our artists will be recording these lessons, and as the months go by, we hope to have a nice library of lessons from different artists that can be consolidated into a video library for users to reference.
Please note the livestream doesn't hold a lot of people, so if you want to attend you may want to get there early and claim a spot.

Another call for Site Pet PSD files!
Pets
The last time I posted a news post about this we had just over 50% of all site pet PSDs in our collection. Now we have 66.9%!
That means we're still missing 33.1%...
I'm sure there are users out there, either the original artists, or people who got their hands on the PSD, that have PSDs we do not have.
What we want you to do, is to check this spreadsheet. This spreadsheet lists all the pets we don't have PSDs for. If you have one listed there, send it to [email protected] with the subject of the email being the name of the pet and the genus (ex. "Binary Melo").
Please do not send it to any other email, as that often happens.
We are not looking for remakes of the PSDs. We are mainly looking for the original PSDs that the original artist made.
As a note, if you get a design accepted in any of our event threads, submissions forums, etc, you're expected to be sending in the PSDs.
So please take some time to check the list and dig through your own collection. Any PSDs we have enable our site breeding artists to use them in breedings, so everyone benefits!

Holiday Lane Cooki--Pets!
Pets
We've baked up a fresh batch of pets for the Holiday Lane!
This is the last set of pets for the area, so get your nets ready!
Remember, Holiday Lane will be open through December 31st at 11:59 p.m., so you have until the end of the month to snag them all. :3
We have also finished accepting all pets from the Holiday Pet Submissions thread! If you had a pet accepted but don't see it on the site yet, that means it'll be used in the Seasonal Shop. c:
Payment for these pets will be handled automatically by Chelle (#7310), so you should see that come through soon.
Thank you for your submissions!
Bundle up!
