The Bell Tree Fair 2024: Closing Ceremony

[Kevinnn]

Received my prize pack earlier today and I could NOT be happier!! It was the first fair I've participated in to this extent, so I'm glad I can have physical mementos to keep.

Was aiming for Ione as high priority, and will 100% be using her on my laptop, just deciding whether on interior or the shell. Also one of the few who received a reply from Jeremy in regards to the accidental NH stationary that I will gladly take, thank you staff for hosting an amazing event!

Spoiler: prize pack!! lost the small decor so i drew it on, and pls ignore pen icon

Spoiler: NH stationary we take those and IONE X2

Spoiler: ione on laptop but i am indecisive

Ohhh can't wait till we can buy, really wanna get the lovely ghost kitty! (maybe the bun plush if I have the money and if thats also going on etsy...)

 

[Xara]

don't talk to me or my son ever again!!!

my snow bunny plush arrived today, and I'm so!!! aaaaaaaaa!! I've been looking at the tracking almost every hour for the past week LOL, and I'm so happy my bun is finally here and that it arrived without any issues!! this pic definitely doesn't do it justice, but it's so adorable and precious! it's in mint condition, and it's softer than the Celeste plush, so it's better for cuddling!! I love its soft, poofy tail, and its toe beans are so cute!!!

Spoiler: everything it came with!

the book was such a pleasant surprise oh my goodness?? I love the soft, yet still vibrant colours and design of the cover, and of course the Celestes, snow bunnies, dinos and ghostly kitties are adorable!! the quality is so good as well! there's blank, non-lined pages inside, so it'd be great for sketching or scrapbooking or some sort of other creative project(s)! you could also just add lines yourself and use it as a journal or something if you wanted! I might use mine for some of my stickers, or as a scrapbook!

this pic doesn't do the stickers justice either, but they're also so adorable!! the Able Sisters, Celeste, Dino, Snow Bunny, Ghostly Kitty and otter are my favourites, but they're all so cute and great quality as well! I also can never have too many of that beautiful magnet hehe

the note is so sweet, and I'm so touched that Laudine included a doodle of my character!! I love the cats on the stationary (and on the envelope it came in)!!

my NL prize pack also came!!! this is my second prize pack, and it's just as cool and special as the one I received in 2022! I'm so happy I was able to get the limited quantity sticker I wanted the most (the 2020 fair emblem), as I now have a sticker of all the emblems from all the fairs I've participated in!!

Spoiler: the goods!

all of the stickers are so cute, and the incredibly sweet note from Oblivia honestly made me tear up. I also love the bracelet (and the colour!), and the little K.K. albums are so so cute!!

thank you so, so much @Laudine and @Oblivia for the goodies and for your sweet and thoughtful notes, and thank you as well Jeremy and the rest of the staff for all of the thought, effort, time and love that went into this event. you all truly went above and beyond, and I'm so, so grateful. I know being staff probably feels like a thankless job some days, and none of you get as much rest as you deserve, but I hope you all know that your efforts are always appreciated! I will cherish my memories and mementos from this fair forever, thank you.

I got my second letter!! This time from jer-bear, our benevolent leader. You always work hard to keep everyone in line and well behaved. It must suck doing that but you do a good job at being fair so thank you @Jeremy . Same to you @Oblivia

[Newbiemayor]

I got my prize pack! What did you seal this with Jeremy, super glue? It's super cute! I appreciate the sweet message. I love all the stickers and I haven't taken the bracelet off since I took this picture >w> I'm glad I got one this year!

Spoiler

So many ducks I loved listening to K.K. birthday while checking everything out. Very thematic!

 

[Jeremy]

Some of us staff will also be wearing the same friendship bracelets. In fact, @Oblivia and I are right now!

Spoiler

 

[LambdaDelta]

tbh, I'm a bit afraid of damaging/staining mine to wear much, especially since it's incredibly difficult to adjust with just one hand. though I still very much enjoy it all the same

that said, how did I manage to end up with such a vibrantly colorful one? talk about unexpected luck

My dino pin from @Laudine came and it looks amazing! I just came home to my parents place for Thanksgiving this weekend so this was so nice to come back to hehe. No prize pack yet, and I'm leaving to go back to my place near campus on Monday or Tuesday, so I may not be able to get my prize pack until next week/whenever it arrives unfortunately, but I'll gladly take this win! I also had a similar moment like @Rio_ where one one of the stars happened to be on the dino's head, so it looks like he's adorned with a star which is super cute.

Spoiler: Extras

As usual, Laudine has outdone herself with the extra goodies and personalized letter! I really like the envelope everything came in, and I absolutely adore the pin set stickers— the holographic finish on them is such a nice touch!

I also just need to take a moment to gush about the personalized letter though omg, it's definitely one of my favourite things that Laudine does, especially since she goes out of her way to find characters to draw for everyone. I was absolutely jaw dropped to open my letter to see who she had drawn for me, because I wouldn't have expected it?? If you know me, you know my only relevant character is my ACNH rep, Eris. I have other ocs, but they don't get drawn often and I've never asked for art of them, so I was truly surprised to see that Laudine somehow drew Eris' older daughter, June. I am such a sucker for family stuff, and there's little content of June on the forums, so I'm truly in awe that Laudine took the time to dig to even find her. Laudine also drew Eris in my letter back when I got a Celeste Plush from her shop, so it's really cute to see that her daughter has a matching letter with her now.

Spoiler: letter from 2022

Eris matching with her dottor fr, brb gonna cry about this for the next hour.

My birthday was yesterday, but I would be lying if I said I had a good day. OTL I unfortunately a pretty bad day both yesterday and today for personal reasons, so this really brightened my day/week and I honestly can't stop smiling whenever I look at what I got. I also just wanted to take the time to acknowledge the generosity that Laudine and the other staff have to give away prizes like this and cover shipping on top of that! I saw the shipping cost on my pin package and it really just touches my heart that this was even possible for us in the first place. Thank you so much for the wonderful prize— this is definitely one of the biggest highlights from the 2024 Fair for me, and I'm excited to open my prize pack whenever it arrives!

I haven’t been online much these last few days as a lot of things (not good ones mostly) just keep coming.

Anyways, I saw the mailman stocking my street’s mailboxes this afternoon so I figured I’d check. Lo and behold my bunny showed up. Made my day much brighter! Thank you so much Laudine. The bunny is perfect and all the little extras are so cute. Also it wasn’t lost on me that you drew Chibiusa who’s name basically means small cute bunny, and who also happens to have red eyes just like my new bun friend.

 

[Airysuit]

Finally got my pin! So amazing thank you so much! I love all the other stickers and the note and little doodle so much
I received my prize pack as well but forgot that at my parents home, that was so great as well

Thank you again staff for doing this, im so happy

 

[xlisapisa]

According to my tracking number, my dino pin cleared customs on October 8……I hope it’s still on its way! All the prizes look beautiful. Any other pin winners in the US who haven’t received them yet?

Customs can be such a joke sometimes. I hope you get it soon!

Yeah, I wasn’t worried about the delay at first until I saw that it allegedly cleared customs nine days ago and was passed to the postal carrier for delivery. But it’s a long way to travel, so hopefully it’s just in transit.

Well that's good! At least it made it pass customs. That's a start!

I have a package that's been there since September 25th. My sister wanted a special advent calendar for Christmas. Knowing my luck if it makes it to me it will be too late or the goofs at customs tore it up like a bunch of animals.

Just got my Ghost Kitty pin! It's SOOOO Prettyyyyy! Just in time for Halloween festivities! It came with a bunch of cute shiny stickers (OMG the froggy chair and a second Dino, lucky...), a very beautiful magnet and a card with a nice drawing of my little representative. What an awesome gift! Thank you very much Laudine and the staff for the nice gifts and event. (had to be quick with the photo, it was a little windy)
