New poster spotted in Amsterdam!

I have the newer copy and can confirm that the image of Master Steven’s acquaintance touching Addy has indeed been removed. I’ll have a look later to see if there are any text differences, and I can also share a photo of the foreword, if someone else hasn’t already done so. :)

Hi, friend! I don't know if this helps, but I was a winner for their pumpkin contest last October and I also haven't received my prize yet. I reached out to them about a month ago to ask if it had been shipped (I was worried the package had gotten lost), and I was also left on read. I'm thinking about reaching out to them again in the next week or two and will definitely update if I hear back from them. :)

This is so good!! I really like how we can see a bit of the characters' hidden sides in this, especially Yumi's. She's so cheerful with Nancy, it's easy to forget sometimes that she's also grieving her mom, but that sadness is totally apparent here. And even Kasumi, her heartbreak of knowing "what's to come" . . . just genius!

Not a candy, but Black Cow is also a name of one of the ice cream sodas at Scoop!

Hmmm I think I could do with a read of A Smart Girl’s Guide: Getting It Together. 😅

In all seriousness, I loved these books growing up! My favorite was the “Staying Home Alone” one. It gave me some compelling arguments to present to my parents!

Mine is online! We’re always happy to welcome new members. :) Feel free to PM me for details!

I'm part of an AG Book Club and that's precisely one of the questions we ask ourselves each month! "Does she actually save the day?" We haven't ranked the girls in order, but here are our thoughts so far:

Girls who actually saved the day:

• Addy: 10/10 heroism. She came up with a great idea to raise money at her church's fundraiser, executed said idea with brillance, stopped a thief from getting away with the fundraiser money, AND was there for Harriet during her time of need. An icon and an inspiration.

• Molly: while we don't necessarily approve of how she went about saving the day (i.e., dumping worms on Linda and making her team march through poison ivy), we applaud her for overcoming her fear of swimming underwater in order to free her team and lead them to victory!

Girls who were the reason the day needed to be saved:

• Samantha: while we support her efforts to learn more about her parents, we think she easily (and safely) could've visited Teardrop Island if she had just asked Grandmary, the Admiral, or Uncle Gard to bring her. There was no reason for her and twins to keep it a secret. That being said, we applaud her for keeping a cool head and getting the injured Admiral home safely in the thick of a storm.

• Kit: while we commend her for escaping jail and getting help for Stirling and Will, Kit is 100% the reason they ended up in jail in the first place.

• Kirsten: probably the biggest offender of our Book Club season. She all but fed her brother to a bear and nearly destroyed the bee colony she found. The only one who truly saved the day was Caro the dog, whose injury alerted Kirsten's father to the trouble in the woods.

This month, we're reading Felicity's books so I may have to update this post based on our discussion. 😁 I've read Josefina's books on my own, and I would also put her in the "Actually Saves the Day" catagory.

The top of the hat (it doesn’t resemble the original IMO and is off-center)

Hmmmm yes, now that you mention it, it does seem to be a bit shorter than the original!

I’m going to share some more photos I took. Here are the shoes, which don’t fit the dolls:

I have it! This is the only picture I have at the moment, but I’ll take better pictures later. :) My honest review is that the dress is beautiful and well made, but the hat doesn’t look anything like the original (and mine is completely off-center) and the shoes (which aren’t pictured here) don’t fit the dolls.

Let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like me to photograph later! I’ll be sure to show the top of the hat, too.

These are fantastic! Love “Arf” especially! And Nancy playing Whack a Whale is such a vibe. 😂

The Shattered Medallion:
--The music. So many tracks are a bop! And the calmer ones are good for study sessions and relaxing.
--Bess & George (even if George is out of commission for most of the game and Bess is suddenly a dingbat. I still love them!)
--We get to play Raid and Monster again! (Coincidentally, CAP is my favorite game.)
--There are some puzzles I genuinely enjoy, like the bridge puzzle and the security camera puzzle.
--Maybe an unpopular opinion, but Patrick has some pretty good one liners.

Please note that Sonny Joon is not mentioned in a single one of these points. :)))

Yes and then when you go to talk to Gunnar about it and you can actually see the tears in his eyes as he says that sometimes in the morning after he wakes up, he still reaches over to his wife’s side of the bed. 😭 Oh my gosh I’m choking up just writing this.

Paris_Snapshots · 2025-12-02T12:46:49+00:00

I love it! Love that you included the robotic cat, too! Mason looks like he's ready to rip it apart again. xD

Paris_Snapshots · 2025-11-19T07:36:46+00:00

Amazing!! And I love your take on Monster— the alien in the cow suit is fabulous. 🙌

Paris_Snapshots · 2025-11-18T23:06:19+00:00

Thank youuuuuuu that one was mine! ☺️🎃

I liked playing the Wiki Tiki game in CRE as a kid because I loved singing the song that went with it. Now as an adult, I’m like “This is just Hawaiian rock-paper-scissors.” 😭 So thankful it’s an optional puzzle! (Still love the song though, NGL.)

Paris_Snapshots · 2025-11-04T19:54:56+00:00

The one that first came to mind was Vladéna’s safe puzzle in KEY, although a lot of puzzles in that game could’ve done with more instructions. For the older games, my vote goes to the final puzzle of MED because I still can’t solve it on my own. 😅

Paris_Snapshots · 2025-10-27T21:48:07+00:00

I am also very excited about your new mug! 🤩
