Good morning all...I wasn't around much yesteday so I've just caught up on a bunch of pages here... lol. 2PeasNurse -- I'm sorry to hear that about your dh. 2020 sure has sucked, that's for sure. Skellinton -- I want to visit your island and see the "dark and twisty things" in your house and the dolls hidden in the forest! @treecity -- No, never turn down an invitation to hang out or talk to a teen! (or any kid of course...but when they're younger it's usually more of us thinking "oh please leave me alone for ten minutes" hahaha) naby64 -- Somewhere back in this thread I gave someone else the method of getting a perfect one....basically you first have to roll the bottom snow ball until it's as big as it will get. You can tell when that is because you will stop walking so fast and really slow down. Then the second snowball has to be rolled until it's *just* to the bottom of your ear. So be sure you're not wearing a hat and have a hairstyle that doesn't cover your ears. Roll the snowball back and forth near the base snowball. In the end when it's perfect it will be a bit smaller than you think it should be. At least it was for me...that was my problem in the beginning, I was making it too big. -- Anyway, roll it up to nearby the base and stand right next to it. Tilt the screen angle down until you're looking face on... opening the camera can help because you can zoom in a bit also. Make sure the ball comes up to *just* the bottom of your ear. Then push it onto the base. I'm at the point now where I can usually make a perfect one, after what I'm sure were a million tries. -- Also, don't forget that if you mess up the top snowball and make it too big you can pitch it into the river or smash it up against something, run into a building, then come out to find it respawned. I would love someone to come hang lovely Christmas sweaters in my Ables! Next time I'm open please feel free to do it. I was the one who originally asked for red wrapping paper. I have plenty now because someone alerted me to it in their Nooks and I bought a lot. lol. It's for the gift pile DIY which I don't personally have yet. I'm not sure if that's one that's locked or if it will appear in a balloon at some point. When is the snow supposed to start on our islands? I'm up to December 21 at the moment because I have a perfect snowboy who I want to talk to for his three days so I can get the large snowflakes. But eventually when the snow starts, and once I get the snowboy DIYs, I'll come back to real time. Does anyone know if the snowboy will give duplicate DIYs once you have them all? So far he hasn't given me any duplicates but I don't have all of them yet. It's raining this morning in Northern Virginia... my least favorite weather, cold rain. And I have to go out in it to the grocery store. ugh. Maybe the rain will keep people away. If I'd been organized I would be getting ready to go right now for the 6:00 a.m. opening time but one of my least favorite chores is thinking up what to cook and making a grocery list. -- Other chores today are laundry (does it ever end? And I don't even have young kids anymore!), wrapping some stuff that I'll be sending to ds and his family since covid is keeping them away this year , finishing a letter to a friend in France so I can have it weighed tomorrow when I go to mail some things to ds, and finishing financial paperwork for my mom's assisted living. Doesn't that all sound fun? I guess wrapping gifts for ds's family is fun. And writing to my friend is fun also. It's the post office part that isn't. Going for my second cup of coffee now, and getting ready to turn on CNN's morning news.... My favorite two, John Berman and Abby Phillip, have been missing for the holiday so hopefully they'll both be back today.

So far he hasn't given me any duplicates but I don't have all of them yet. It's been snowing on my island since Black Friday, but not sticking. Skell said she's got snow on the ground around Dec 11/12, I think. Too many dates in my head. DH decided to TT again last night, no luck, but the dates all smoosh together in my head. Snowboy will NOT give you duplicates, like Celeste. He will still give you large snowflakes though after you've collected all the recipes. If anyone wants a gift pile made please let me know. I've been ordering cardboard boxes when I remember during TT so I'm stocked up on those. Maybe the rain will keep people away. If I'd been organized I would be getting ready to go right now for the 6:00 a.m. opening time but one of my least favorite chores is thinking up what to cook and making a grocery list. May the odds be ever in your favor. I hate coming up with the dinner schedule. I feel like my mind goes blank when I attempt to come up with some ideas. What do we eat? We eat food? Ridiculous.

Uugh, we need cardboard boxes too? I stocked up on the red paper and used up my boxes for recipes. Just the day before yesterday TOO. I'll have DS's character order the boxes while DD's can order umbrellas. I'll order for peas if needed and then the fun stuff.
I have flurries this morning. I can't believe December is tomorrow! The next few months are going to be long!

I'll have DS's character order the boxes while DD's can order umbrellas. I'll order for peas if needed and then the fun stuff. It requires a cardboard box + 3 sheets of red wrapping paper + Wooden-block Toy (3 softwood). Pretty sure I have at least 10 boxes in storage now, so don't fret, I'm happy to mail them, too! If you want a pile of gifts let me know and I'll make some! If I need more wrapping paper, I'll holler. I could always just make piles of them and people could come snag them? I'd hate for everyone to not get to utilize them until Christmas Day.

I'm trying to figure out my fly-by and having trouble. I can't get what I wanted to work.

When do you actually get the recipe? Unsure, I assume it's one of the new items that are locked until Christmas time. dawnnikol could you please make me a couple of gift piles? Yep! I'll log in to deliver!

monklady123, thanks I knew you had given direction and I think I was getting them backwards. I saw a video and she said something about it becoming hard to roll. I remembered the ear part but I was making my first snowball ear height. Maybe I'll try tonight. It is our 35th anniversary today and I might be pushing it if I pull out the game after dinner. LOL Good to know about the cardboard boxes. My recycle bin has several. I'll pull them out and put them in storage until I need them.

It snowed on my island earlier, but didn't stick until 12th. I Tt a few days at a time so it might stick earlier but it didn't stick on the 9th, might have stuck on 10 or 11 I just didn't stop on those days.

No he won’t give dups, he just stops giving you diys and gives you the large snowflake.

It’s sticks on the 11th. I time travelled and that was the day it stuck. That was the first day I could do snowboys. Lights on trees don’t come till the 15th - which is today in my game.

I can’t find my snowballs today!! ETA found them. And my nerdy template worked! I made another perfect snowboy. I hope I didn’t jinx it, but I am pretty proud of myself. I have the peppermint umbrella today in my nooks. I will open up in about 30 minutes If anyone is interested!

Took today and tomorrow off to clean and decorate and the one villager we want to move (only because we have too many normals and need a lazy) asked to leave this morning so there goes my morning for tt and villager hunting! I’m so excited. Lol. I’m on the hunt for Derwin, he looks so darn cute but my son (who’s at school so has no say lol) wants Griz (we don’t need a crank we have Kabuki). I’m not sure I could pass up Griz if I found him first though because I’m just nice like that haha. Wish me luck I find Derwin first, if at all. 🤨🤞🏼

I just opened Isla Nublar! I'm working so AFK, and it's my IRL birthday so my villagers gave me silly hats and glasses! So cute. Started working on more of a "city" vibe over by the riverwalk area. I'm liking it so far but it's def a work in progress. Built my tiny dog park, too. Come by and shop, etc. Have fun!

Hi all.. a few pages back you all welcomed me and so forth and got me started.. Thanks! Couple of newbie questions again. (AND plus I was not playing for about a week because my puppy had my charging cord for lunch.. ) anyways... can someone direct me on how to do a few things?
I am on my little island. I have not yet signed up for online playing (which I will do soon and add you guys).
But since I started really all I do is fish, pick up stuff and buy and sell. I still live in a tent.
How do I go from this level into getting a house and doing other stuff?
The two characters that are with me both upgraded to houses.
OHHH and lastly there is something on the ground that I can't figure out what to do with.. It's like a little light that is coming from the ground. What is that? OH and one more.. sometimes there is a floating present on a balloon.. how do I catch that.. I have tried all kinds of stuff.. no luck.
Thanks for helping this old lady out... I thought I could do it on my own and still struggling.. shocker.. lol

I thought I could do it on my own and still struggling.. shocker.. lol I don’t remember how I got a house, just keep talking to Tom Nook, I think. Regarding the hole in the ground. There will be one of those a day and they will grow a bell tree. 1. Dig up the hole, but do NOT fill it in. 2. Take 10,000 bells and put them in a bag in your pocket. To do that click on the x, then on the lower left you will see a golden oval with your bells. Click on that and select 10,000. 3. Click on the 10,000 bells in your pocket and select “bury in hole”. Make sure it will have room to grow and in 3 days you will have a money tree you can shake at get 30,000 bells from.

You need a slingshot to get the balloon. If you don’t have one we can bring you one as soon as you open, buy you should be able to get the diy for that one.
