We are awarding the brand new Pavé Pink Feather to every single participant, and with three categories to enter it is safe to assume that a minimum 30* people will also walk away with the new Pink Love Potion. Then with the placement trophy (Pavé Tail Feather), bonus Pink Love Potion to give a friend, and two pre-announced raffles for rare collectibles it is arguably less effort to obtain multiple collectibles here than in one of our large-scale events. Even people who do the bare minimum are guaranteed to walk away with at least one pink shiny.
While we know members enjoy our larger events, we hope you can appreciate that we don't have the energy or manpower to churn out big multi-activity events every single time. Large-scale events take us weeks to coordinate, run, and wrap-up: if an event runs for 3-4 weeks then it is safe to assume that it required 2-3 months of work from start to finish. Many of the staff—especially our amazing artists who spend hours lovingly designing each banner and collectible—experience burnout after each event and need a good month or so of rest before they're ready to begin thinking about the next. I'm sure some of our more competitive and completionism-minded members feel the same way. I'm a bit of an outlier in that I have endless energy and enthusiasm and tend not to experience this burnout I credit a coffee and Red Bull addiction. We choose to pepper smaller events like this one here and there during the quieter months to prevent the community stagnating between our larger events, such as right now, in the 3-4 month lull between our annual Winter Holiday and Easter events. Jeremy and I were able to pull this together in two days with unexpected (but very much appreciated!) support from Laudine and Mick. The original draft of this event didn't have the Pink Love Potion, the raffles, or the seperate categories - and the banner I drew was laughable! We hope that there are people who appreciate a smaller-scale event with just 1-2 new collectibles like this in lieu of none at all.
*exact number won't be determined until we see final participation numbers.
I just want to say thank you so much for all you guys do and I’m sorry I know this isn’t a chat thread but want you to know it’s appreciated and I’m sure many others feel how I do
I also decided to make an orange tree out of Perler beads. I chose oranges as I'm from FL! The Valentine's Day card is inspired from Maple's catchphrase. When setting up the background for the photo, I used green wool for the grass, white wool for the clouds, and an ACNH blanket backdrop.
i originally wanted to make a paper dress/doll of reese in her wedding dress but changed my entry to celebrate both reese and cyrus this valentine's day! i know they run the wedding event in june but wouldn't a wedding day on valentine's day be so lovely? 
and to make things clear, the animal crossing theme is sending a letter from one island to another. Made for my best friend
