MSPA 3rd Anniversary Gift Exchange!

[Bamoehn]

I'm.. really tempted to sign up for this, given that I'm sure my parents would be cool with it, but I probably just wouldn't be able to come up with something to give this time (can't quite purchase anything at the moment and what craftsmanship )
Oh well, maybe next time.

Well, there will be one at Christmas, most likely, so there's always that, too. :3

Unfortunately I will not be able to participate in this hella sweet gift exchange because WP hasn't been restocking the items I'm getting, and I'm waiting on those before I place my order and also shipping and stuff is a big deal. Sorry!

[sedativeTick]

Is today the day we finally find out what we're making/buying?

[auratusCarassius]

@Emeraldis
I understand. It's all good. I've been through the frustrations of WP not restocking, too. XD

Is today the day we finally find out what we're making/buying?

No, those of you who don't know yet are going to get matched up tomorrow. Today's the last day for sign up, though if anybody sneaks tomorrow in before I've sent them all out, I'm good with that. But yeah, today's the last sign up date, not when you're given the requests.

[auratusCarassius]

Last of the assignments were sent out today. I'd love to know when you guys send out your gifts, and when you receive them. :3 Until then, seeya.

[henoticJinx]

Yo, we sent out our box yesterday. :v sorry it took... so... long... ;q;

[auratusCarassius]

Whoa, coincidence. Me and Nitebirdeh also only managed to send out yesterday, so no prob. Hopefully everything gets everywhere on time!

I guess this here is a reminder to those of you left that if you haven't sent out your items, doing so within the next week or so would be a very good idea!

[sedativeTick]

Oh gosh. I still need to finish my _____.

[quadrangledReality]

i can be down with this...

[auratusCarassius]

i can be down with this...

Augh, sorry. If you're looking to enter, it's been closed a while and people are starting to send out their gifts.
I should probably change the first post or sommat.

[henoticJinx]

:v she just received her box! ohohohohohoho

oh my god this is so soft

[vento]

ARGH NOW I FEEL REALLY BAD......

I COULD HAVE DONE MORE...

[auratusCarassius]

Whaat! Your gifts are awesome, trust me! We got yours a day or two ago, but I haven't posted yet because we've yet to get pictures together. I had no idea deviantart had a homestuck feed. Or feeds at all. Ho-hum. I shall have to be more careful in the future.
The Vriska baby is super adorable, and I totally love the cards you sent with each. Nitebirdeh loves her shades, too, and is actually pretty pleased with both of them, as the orange-tinted ones are utterly perfect for her davesprite cosplay and the more normal ones are great for everyday use. Apparently she needed everyday shades, and loves them.
I need to upload pics of everything. Seriously, your cards were super cool and totally sweet.
Aahahah also it is good to hear my scalemate is appreciated. :3 Blizzard fleece is totally the softest thing and fun to make stuff with, even if I'm not always sure on its care instructions. I own literally so much that I've got two boxes overflowing with the stuff. Best material.

E: I'mma see if she and I can't both get pics and if she'll post her reactions here. :3

[henoticJinx]

feed = group stack ohohohoho you guys submitted to a HS group right?

aaaaa i have no idea how to show my gratitude for my gift do i post my reaction here ? :v
oh my gosh send me some ;_; i only have felt here hahaha... also some questions eheh if you don't mind?
how did you do those adorable booties they are like so cuuuuuuuuuuute and they fit perfectly
did you stuff it to the max or ? I have this problem with my babbys where they're stuffed with a lot and aren't really plushy ;_; or.. are you using some sort of magical stuffing?

[auratusCarassius]

Naaah, I never submitted mine and it doesn't appear to be in any groups as far as I know, but hers is in several.
I didn't quite stuff the thing to the max, but I did stuff it as much as I could without it deforming. The fleece doesn't always hold its shape if you stuff it too ridiculously much. The boots were actually pretty easy. I used a (slightly edited) pattern to make the scalemate, then improvised from there to make the boots and the rest of the outfit, which I didn't bother to make bigger than the legs/feet, since they stay on better this way. I'll edit my post when I get home and say what kind of stuffing I used, but I'm pretty sure it was pretty standard stuff. I got it on sale at JoAnns, which is...also how I get everything else I used to make the scalemate.
:3 I always aim for all the clothes to be removable so I can have multiple outfits. I totally love that Vriskababy's little dress is removable and so so cuuuute.

[Nitebirdeh]

I got my gift with auratusCarassius's! The funny thing is we got the package a day after my birthday. XD MiRaClEs~

The print was really nice and amg I LOVE Karkat, his angry face is so adorable. ;u; The shades were awesome too - I've been asking my mom for a plain pair of shades for months, so it was really conveniant that you sent two pairs. I was actually looking for orange tinted shades for my Davesprite cosplay, so these ones you sent me are utterly perfect. You're letters were so cute, as well. Me and auratus were reading them together and just d'aww-ing the whole time. Your doodles were adorable. Now I feel really bad for sending only a print... I wish I would've sent some more as well - like doodles and whatnot. ;-; So I really really hope you like your art print, I put all of my love into it.

And sorry to spoil the suprise by posting it on deviantArt... I had no idea you could find it there. ;u; Alot of people were bothered by Aradiabot's round head, so I hope you weren't as well. If you want me to draw you anything else homestuck related, just note me on dA and I'll whip it up for ya. :>

[henoticJinx]

AC- Oh shoot I meant I saw your comment on her deviation and had a hunch so I clicked on your name ohoho!~ :v Hmm JoAnns... We don't have them here sadly but somehow I remember an employee making a huge Groudon plushie to promote the store... I wanted to put a button on her dress so it would be easier to remove it but no buttons at home sadly and the ones outside are too big for the dress u_u but glad to hear you liked it!

NB- Oh don't feel bad about it the doodles were totally rushed on the day we sent out the parcel Yes I do like it! I think it's much more lovelier than my gift - I can tell the amount of effort (and love ) you put into it uwu Also I myself draw her head round too (lol) so don't worry about those dA people let's be round-buddies /fist bunp

Aww yeah, I'm glad this project worked out!
