Nov 1-4th : Welcome Tucker, a completed bridge

It’s been a busy couple of IRL days so here’s a recap of the last few days.
I finally used my nook mile ticket that Nook had left at the airport. He had said it would be a great place to get materials and I might meet someone while I was there.

Wilbur explained the rules of the island. Basically you can gather materials but anything left on the island stays there forever. He also said that if I needed a tool I couldn’t craft he would sell them for miles.
I was collecting some extra materials when I came across Tucker.

He asked about life on the island and seemed to want to move to Crescent.

He accepted my invite and I let him know he should contact Nook in order to finalize his move.

I met C.J. When I got back to Crescent.

He has this contest he calls his seasports challenge. You have to collect three fish in a row. I figured I would give it a try.

He even bought the fish I caught plus other fish I had for a great price.
The next day Tucker was moving in.

Welcome and I hope you really like it here.
I finally was able to pay for the bridge to be completed.

We had a ceremony for its completion.
I was also able to get my hold loan paid off so I could get another and get more storage space.

This time I picked a purple roof.
I placed another housing plot to see who will move in next. Excited to meet a new friend.

We did have a campsite visitor on Sunday but they decided not to move to Crescent. Maybe another time.

We did finish another fossil for the museum.

Spork wanted to give me a beach chair in hopes it helps us get K.K. Slider here.

We had a visit from kicks on Monday.

Excited to see when someone will move into the new plot.

Nov 6th :
Today Mabel and Sable’s sister Label was here for a visit.

I took down the Halloween decorations and started to decorate the entrance.

Still a lot to of work to do decorating the island.
I was so excited to see if anyone had decided to move into the plot I placed the other day. To my happy surprise it was Tasha that decided to move to Crescent.

I then went over to say hello to label.

She explained that she has been traveling and training to become an independent designer. She asked if I would help her out. She said she would give me a theme and done clothes if I would model for her. She wanted me to model a sporty outfit and then gave me an open track jacket. I don’t have much in my wardrobe so this was what I was able to make.

She really liked my outfit and said it was superb.

She then thanked me for my help and said she would be sending tailors tickets in the mail. She said that you can exchange them for items that cost less than 3k. She also gave me some Labelle sneakers.
Just Mitzi enjoying the flowers

Nov 7th : Welcome Tasha
Tasha has arrived on Crescent

I went over to welcome her .

It’s so nice to meet you .
I met Blathers little sister Celeste and she said she was here to see the stars.

I didn’t see any starts but I did get the dIY for a star wand.

I called and invited Sprinkle to visit our campsite

She was pretty happy about the invite.

Sprinkle asked for a shell bed and gave me the DIY gif it. It was pretty easy to make .

Can’t wait to invite her back .
We were able to complete another fossil before heading off to bed. Goodnight

Nov 11th: placing the last plot

It’s been a quiet few days. Trying to decorate the island. Tucker ended up with a cold the other day so I brought him some medicine.

Thankfully he was only sick for a day and is now feeling better.

I went over to see Spork and Shep was already there for a visit.

I talked to Nook about setting up another housing plot for Sprinkle. He let me know it was so the last one. Kinda sad we won’t be able to place any more.

Truthfully I think we can place at least two more but unfortunately Nook makes the rules.
I invited Sprinkle back to the campsite.

This time she wanted a full length mirror and I thankfully already had the materials for it.

She was very excited when I invited her to move to Crescent.

Sprinkle’s house is going to be a part of the castle .

I finally went over and visited Harvey on his island . Turns out he owns a photo studio .

I guess I waited so long he almost forgot my name.
He explained how his studio worked and how you can set it up.

Sounds like it will be a fun place to visit.
When I got back to my island Harv called since he forgot to tell me something.

He let me know I can now buy posters of those I have invited to his island through Nook shopping.

Nov 11th continued: an exciting opportunity

I received a phone call from Nook awhile ago. He had wanted me to meet him at the airport to introduce me to a friend of his. His friend Lottie was starting a new business and needed to find one last person to be on their team. Nook told me that he recommended me for the position. I finally had some time to fly out and learn more about this new job.

When I got there I was met my Niko. He is a member of the team I would be joining.

He showed my the way to the office.

Lottie then introduced everyone. My job will be to decorate vacation homes . Niko’s job is to help guide me to make the best vacation homes for our clients. According to Lottie he is an expert to all things local. Wardell is in charge of managing furniture procurement and other things. Lottie let me know that they have a uniform . So I went upstairs to get changed.

When I came back down she let my know that the goal of Paradise Planning was to help clients find their perfect vacation home.

Our first client came to us at the end of our meeting.

She was really excited about getting a vacation home.

We had a nice chat about how she wanted her home to look. She decided her theme would be a relaxing reading room. Sounds like a room I would like. She also let us know she knew exactly where she wanted her home to be .

Niko took us over there in his boat. When we got there Eloise was surprised that there were already items that she had wanted for here home.

Niko explained that they send the items over ahead of time. He explained where I can find a list of items that would go with Eloise’s theme. There isn’t a lot to choose from at the moment but more options would be available soon.
Eloise seemed to be happy with her vacation home. I might change it a bit once I have more items to work with.

Once we got back to the office Lottie asked how everything went. Niko told her that the client was thrilled and he was impressed with my work. Lottie was so happy to hear that. She paid me with 6k in Poki since they use Poki instead of bells.

I used some of it to buy a new plant.

Lottie said my next task was to learn about sales. She said most clients we will have to go out and find.

So I headed outside to see Niko waiting for me. He told me that I could find our next client if I took a walk on the beach. I headed that way and found Willow who wanted a vacation home.

She wanted a vacation home were she can relax and enjoy her coffee.

This time I was also able to decorate the outside of the house.

Now for the inside

She seemed pretty happy and asked if I would take a photo before I left.
When we got back to the office Niko said that the client was pleased and had me show Lottie the picture photo we took.
Lottie let me know about an app called the Happy Home Network that we can use for our photos.

She also gave me another 6k in Poki for a job well done.
She then asked if I would go and take a photo of the house we did for Eloise so we can place that on the app as well.

Our next and last client of the day is Allie. Allie wanted a mushroom forest theme.

Outside

Inside

When we got back to the office Wardell had been cleaning and everything was all shiny. Lottie and Niko both said Wardell does a great job cleaning and that he usually cleans when everyone is out of the office.

Lottie like me likes to put off cleaning to the bottom of the list. It’s definitely not my favorite thing to do.

I got paid for my last vacation home and called it a day. It’s been so much fun learning new ways to decorate. I went over and got some souvenir chocolate to take home to my friends. I plan on making each one of them their own vacation home. I think they will really like that.

Nov 12th : Welcome Sprinkle and three stars

️

Today Sprinkle moved in. She is our last village for awhile. I plan on having a party soon now that everyone is here.

I checked my mail when I left the house and there was a surprise letter from Nook. Looks like Lottie decided to pay for my pro decorating license. That so very nice of her. Nook gave me back the miles I had used to buy it.

I went over to welcome Sprinkle to Crescent.

I wish you good luck with the unpacking.

I remembered Nook saying that Isabelle will be helping out with island evaluations so I went over to se her.
She let me know that evaluations are scores out of 5. That points are awarded based on a few things.

Th system used is based on how many villagers, natural beauty, development and decor. I was a bit worried we didn’t have enough natural elements since I am just now adding more trees and flowers. To my surprise we are now at 3 stars

️.

We even received feedback from K.K. Slider himself.

Nook recognized it right away but it took Isabelle a moment to realize who it was from.

We finally achieved our goal. Nook said he was going to call K.K. Slider and ask if he wanted to visit. I wonder how he got his number and why he didn’t just call him sooner if he could.

According to Nook K.K. Slider could be here as early as tomorrow.

Before l left I decided to pay off the rest of my home loan so I could get a bit more storage space.

I also picked up a bridge kit so I can build a bridge to get to the museum easier.

I have been making sure it say hello to Sable when I see her in Ables. Today she remembered my name and thanked me for coming to visit.

I talked to Tucker about a dream he had .

That sounds like a pretty good dream to me.

The last thing I did was pay off the bridge thanks to selling off a good amount of duplicate fossils.

Excited for to see K.K. Slider.

Nov 12 continued: work day two

I decided to invite Bangle as the first on my island to get a vacation home. She was so excited to go to a resort.

She decided that her vacation home should be

I was almost done when Niko came in and said he had something he wanted to talk about.

He wanted to teach me a technique that Wardell showed him. He calls it operation sparkle. It’s a trick to getting furniture to shine.

Thanks so much Niko. Bangle liked her vacation home.

When I got back to the office Lottie thanked me for my hard work . She paid me 6k . She said it’s not good to overwork ourselves so I should take a break and walk around the island.

I went for a nice walk and Willow , Eloise and Alli were enjoying a bbq.

As I walked back to the office I spotted Lottie lost in thought next to a building.

She said before she got here someone was developing the island but stopped for some reason. She said she was trying to decide how to use the unfinished buildings.
She is thinking of making this one into a school. That we would have to have more clients first.

So off I went to find our next Client. I found Bruce and he wanted a vacation home to play board games with his friends.

When I got back to the office Lottie let me know that Niko was waiting for me. So I went to go meet up with him.

He said he had found a note in a bottle and wanted to know what it was.

I let him know it was a DIY and he was really excited about it. He thanked me for letting him know by giving me the DIY.

It was for a glowing-moss stool.
When I got back to the office Lottie asked what Niko wanted. I told her we talked about DIY’s . She didn’t know that I like Niko I also likd to build things. She said that she had ordered a workbench and was asking Wardell if he knew when it would arrive.

According to Wardell it will arrive soon.
I wanted to get one more vacation home done before going back home.
I found Claude and he wanted an arcade vacation.

I can’t wait until I have more options for decorating. It will make it easier when I have more options for wallpaper.
When j got back Lottie thanked me for my hard work. She said I was doing a great job. She gave me the title of Promising Designer which came with a pay raise.

Thank you so much Lottie .

Nov 13th : K.K. Slider Concert

Today is the K.K. Slider is coming to give us a concert

.

It was so nice of him to agree to come and play for us. Everyone was so excited.

We really appreciate you coming and everyone really enjoyed the show.

After the concert I had a chat with Nook who gave me a copy of K.K. Sliders song Welcome Horizons.

He said that K.K. Slider enjoyed his time here so much that he will be back every week to hold a concert. Mostly on Saturday night at long as no other events are going on.

He also told me about an app he created to make designing the island easier.

He explained about having to buy permits in order to make paths , fix rivers and cliffs.

Time to go over and see what kind of permits I can get. Luckily for me I have been saving up my miles .

I definitely have enough for all of the permits.
I stopped my Mitzi’s on my way to see Samson. We talked about books and which types would be best for a deserted island.

I decided on comedy and Mitzi agreed.

Work day 3:
I decided to take Samson with me when I went to work this evening. He was pretty excited to get to go.

The original plan was to get him a vacation home when I got there. That plan changed when I went to the office and Lottie had other ideas.

She said we got permission to build the school. So we will be working on that first.

Starting with the outside :

Then of course to the inside . Where Lottie taught me how to make the building a bit bigger so we had more space to work.

It was a lot of fun designing the classroom. We picked Eloise as the teacher.

Lottie wanted a photo of everyone outside the school.

We then went back to the office. Everyone really likes the look of the school.

Niko asked about Lottie teaching me about room expansion and then said he just had a really great idea.

Everyone would love to hear about his big idea but we will have to wait and see what it is. In the meantime it’s time to make a vacation home for Samson.
I wasn’t sure what kind of home he was looking for but this one kinda confused me. I was expecting more of a gym exercise house since he loves working out. I think I did the best I could for the moment and will probably change it at some point.

He wanted a treasure packed gym but there wasn’t much gym furniture to choose from.

tomorrow is another day hopefully will have more time for working on vacation homes.

Nov 14th : Introducing Ordinances

Isabelle had a few announcements this morning. She said we can now enact ordinances. In order to help with everyday life.

She also said that this job would fall on me since I am the island representative. I will have to think about which one might be best.

She also announced a new boat tour. She said a captain at the dock would take us to uninhabited islands and there would be plenty of materials to gather.

Sounds like a lot of fun and can’t wait to go on my first trip.
I had two letters in my mailbox.
The first one was from Harvey saying he had something to talk to me about.

The second was from nook ink saying that there are now new items available for nook mile points.

I went right over to R.S to see if cooking was finally available. So happy that is was. Especially since I saw that Mitzi was cooking today.

My next stop was to start giving daily gifts out to my friends. Sprinkle was visiting Samson so I gave her some souvenir chocolates. She was so excited to go to the resort.

When we got there I noticed Leif was walking around and seemed lost.

Leif needed help finding the school. He was asked to teach a class on hybrid flowers.

So excited, I love learning about flowers Leif taught us about how grow and use hybrids in designing vacation homes. Thanks so much for the lesson.

Now I can use hybrid flowers when decorating.

After the lesson I stopped by the office to change into work clothes. I bought an afternoon tea set with my Poki since it will be a nice addition to Sprinkles sweet treats shop I’m making.

Lottie asked if I noticed anything new. She said a relative of hers had sent her a gift to congratulate her on her new business.

She said we can use it to invite clients to the resort. We can even invite VIP clients once we get a bit more experience.

Until then it’s time to make Sprinkle a vacation home.

Decorating the outside

When we got inside there was something new. It was a partition. This was what Niko’s big idea the other day was.

He said we can use partitions to create more rooms inside the house.

it was definitely a great surprise

When we got back to the office Niko said he had a gift for me. He gave me the DIY for the partition wall so I can make them for my house.

I can’t wait to see what else Niko decides to make.
I went back to my island for a little while and when I came back to the resort I brought Fuchsia with me.

I wasn’t entirely sure about how she wanted her house so I did the best I could with what I had. Will go back once I have more options of furniture.

Tomorrow is another day and I will try and get to Harv’s studio to see how I can help him.

Nov 16th : Some exciting news :

I didn’t get much accomplished yesterday as my IRL job was 12hours . We did have Sasha as a campsite villager. I hope he enjoyed his time here.

I did go and see Harvey to see what he needed help with . He introduced me to his friend and explained that he wanted to build a co-op .

It would cost 100k bells for each co-op. I had been saving to build an incline but decided to use those bells for a fortune teller instead.

This morning Isabelle announced that Nook’s cranny would be closed tomorrow for renovation.

I went over to see Timmy and Tommy and they shared their good news.

Their shop is going to be upgrading to have more items to sell.
I went over to meet our new fortune teller over on Harv’s island.

She said she can tell you your fortune and also see your friendship level with villagers.
I started by asking about my fortune.

An increase in health is always a good thing. I then asked about my friendship with Fuchsia.

She says that I am important to Fuchsia and she wishes to get even closer.
Katrina then offered a blessing that would help .

I then went over to see Blathers about some fossils and I found him lost in thought. He was trying to find new ways to bring visitors to the museum.

He wants to build a cafe but the problem is his friend has gone missing.

He wanted to know if I would go look for him. Of course I will . Blathers said I could find him if I talk to the boat captain. He also gave me Brewster’s photo so I know what he looks like.

I went over to see the boat captain and his name is Kapp’n

It cost 1k in nook miles to go to another island. I found Brewster at the back of the island after I gathered some materials.

I explained that I was sent by Blathers to find him. That Blathers would like to open a Cafe and needs his help. Brewster told me to tell Blathers that I hear you.

He then gave me a gyroid fragment and told me to bury and water it.

I went back home to let Blathers know I had found Brewster.

He was happy his friend was found and that he was coming to help.

Blathers said he needed to get things ready and that he would need to close the museum tomorrow.

Both the museum and shop will be closed tomorrow but once they reopen we will have a cafe and a bigger store. So exciting.

Nov 16th: work day 5: A new title , a restaurant and more

I decided to invite Spork over to HHP to get a vacation home.

He wanted to read books in an autumn forest which sounds pretty good to me.
Outside

Inside

When I got back to the office Lottie was on the with some clients. She said that she has been getting calls from happy clients saying how much they love their vacation homes.

She also said that the last vacation home I did was a milestone. It was the tenth vacation home I made.

Lottie , Niko and Wardell wanted to have a party to celebrate

I really appreciate the party. They thanked me for my hard work and we had a nice party chatting and spending time together.

I made a vacation home for Tybalt before I went back home for a bit.
Tybalt wanted a vacation home he could play baseball at.

The next vacation home is for Tucker so I went back home to get him. He was excited about his vacation home.

He wanted an archaeology dig.

While I was decorating the inside Niko cane in and wanted to teach me about different effects that you can use while making furniture sparkle. He said he learned it from Wardell and that Wardell had asked him to teach me,

When I got back to the office Lottie gave me a new title. She called me a breakout designer and thanked me for my hard work with a raise.

Thank you so much .
I went back later in the day and brought Mitzi with me. When I got to the office Lottie said we had permission for not one but two different facilities. She said we could build a cafe or a restaurant and asked me to pick one.

I went with the restaurant.

Now for the last vacation home of the day .
Mitzi wanted a mountaintop eatery.

I had a nice chat with Lottie before I went home for the day. She said that Paradise Planning was going to team up with Happy Home Academy to share design portfolios.

That I could post them in the app if I wanted to

It’s been a busy day and I am sure tomorrow will be just as busy.

Nov 17th : closed for remodeling

Isabelle reminded us that both Nook’s Cranny and the museum are both closed for remodeling. She said we will celebrate both reopening’s tomorrow.

I got a letter in the mail from Wardell. He congratulated me on my 10th vacation home with a nice rug.

Placing it in my home reminded me that I really haven’t spent much time in my own home.

I went over in the evening to see if Shep wanted a vacation home and found him not feeling well. I was about to go to the store to get medicine when I remembered it was closed. So off I went to go make some.

He seemed to be starting to feel better when I left.

Hope you feel better soon. I went off looking for either PeeWee or Tasha since they still needed a vacation home. Peewee was busy with his flea. For some reason he was digging through garbage.

Most don’t it’s where the fleas are.
I found Tasha near the fountain in front of the castle and she was so excited to get a vacation home.

I went to the office and Wardell told me about a new service that was being offered to those that worked at HHP.

Thanks Wardell that will be a big help.
Lottie said that our restaurant is going over well and that we might find some new clients there.

Making a vacation home for Tasha. She wanted to be surrounded by orange furniture.

I went over to the restaurant and learned how to make a new recipe.

When I went back to the island I talked Isabelle about ordinances. I have been thinking about which one to get. I think for now I will go with the beautiful town ordinance. I trying to grow more flowers and hopefully this will help with that.

I ended the day getting my fortune told and checking my friendship level with Samson. Katrina said we had a very strong friendship.

Excited for the grand reopenings tomorrow.
