12/7 (snowing again)
• Isabelle announced that Saharah was visiting today; as usual, I bought her out.

• Hung out with Pluck at her house for a little while. Played a card game, somehow won an athletic outfit. Since my inventory was full at the time, she decided to send my prize and a thank-you gift to me through the matil.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Before I left, he gifted me a siphon as a token of his appreciation!

• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Label was also here today, back with a comfy-themed fashion challenge. Apparently, putting on something that's practically pajamas will let you pass with flying colors. I recieved a pair of Labelle Sunglasses as a reward.

)

• Later caught Rhonda a river fish, after she'd asked me for some help. She ended up with a dace.

• Dug up the gyroid fragment from yesterday; retrieved a Sproingoid.

• Found a recipe for creating the cool hyacinth crown in a bottle that had washed ashore!
• Later helped Rex resolve an agreement with Plucky by delivering an apology gift.
• C.J. gave me a Big-Time fishing challenge; due to time constraints, I wasn't able to finish thre challenge, but I wad still ankle to bring him 3 daces for a collectible.

• Attended Slider's show; he played K.K. Robot Synth.
• Was greeted with an impromptu visit from Patty while I was putting things into storage at home. She gave me an orange, and we played a card game (which I just barely won, as the number had been 4 and I guessed higher:5).
• Made a few frozen mini snow-people to put up around town, and put out some more winter and Toy Day decorations.
• Checked out some custom designs.

12/12
• There was a visitor at the campsite today: Gaston the Rabbit.

It was a blue full-length Maid gown, which she tried on immediately (which did in fact make the blue in her eyes pop...looks like someone's been posting attention to detail
)
• Label was back again, this time with a Comfy-themed fashion challenge. The outfit I picked out liked pretty similar to last time's, but she still loved it anyway, and gave me a Labelle Dress.
• Plucky asked me for help in finding her missing notebook. Despite running around the island MULTIPLE times and screwing around with the camera to check behind buildings and trees, I couldn't find it anywhere I looked... Hopefully, I'll be able to find it tomorrow, once the sun's up...
• Kitty was thinking about moving away, but I was thankfully able to change her mind (phew! ).
