Snowball Pile and A Scam Story

 The newest snow-related item is the Snowball Pile! Perfect for snowball fights and Hide-and-Go-Seek!

I am going to make this a short item post, so I can report on one of the scams going around Animal Jam. vms915, AJ Reporter, here to make you aware to the goings on around Animal Jam. This includes scams, parties, fun times, and more! 

Story #1: The Decline Trade Scam

So, I was in Jamaa Township. Doing whatever I do. When, I see someone saying: 

So, this looked like an obvious scam, thanks to Feelers' Animal Jam Rage page which teaches all about different scams. This particular one is called the "Decline Trade Scam" I think. I am calling it that for all intensive purposes. So, like I said, this looked like a scammer. So, I pointed that out to this person. They said "Try me."












So, I traded one of my Rare Leis for their Bow and Arrows. Now, I know that is kind of a lousy trade. But they declined. Anyway, by this time, there were about three or four people saying the same thing.

 So, I clicked on this person. The only thing they had on their trade list was a couple of red necklaces. So, I traded a Rare Lei for one of them. Guess what happened.

I figured this would happen, because I have a bunch of Rare Leis. So, I reported this person. Later, I clicked on this person's player card. 

Do you notice something? I noticed something. They happened to be wearing my Rare Lei. 

So, this is a story you should all learn from, even though I meant to be scammed. If somebody says: 

NEVER BELIEVE THEM!

Happy New Jamming!

Ice Prison + Winner of Find the Elf

The new item in Jam Mart Furniture is made of....ICE! Who would have thought?
The Ice Prison!

You know, that could be slightly depressing.

There is a new party, out just in time for the New Year.

Kind of figured....
I'll have some pictures of it posted soon.

The winner of the Find the Elf Contest is.....

Kinyonga!!!

Sorry for those who did not win. Kinyonga got all of them right! And some of those pictures were hard. 

So, you win either one of these! 

Here is the procedure for any future contests for redeeming prizes: 

Comment your username. I won't post it, so don't worry about anything bad happening.

I will send you a buddy request. If your buddy list is full, then follow the same  procedure for being a non-member. (below)

If your buddy list is not full, then I will send you a Jam-a-Gram with the prize attached. 

If you are a non-member (you can't receive gifts through Jam-a-Grams), then we will arrange for a time to meet in Animal Jam. You will put a rug or a duplicate plushie on your trade list, and we will trade the prize. 

If none of these work, we will have to work out a different way to get you the prize. 

You only have one week to comment on this blog to say you will pick up the prize, and two weeks after that to go through with it. Otherwise, you do not get your prize. I will post all of this on the "Contests" page. 

So....Happy New Jamming!

More Winter Items and Awards Coming Soon!

Sorry I have been absent from the Blogging world. I have been very busy, let's leave it at that.

There is a new line of furniture items in Jam Mart Furniture, most of them are returning from last year.

Not recommended for warm to hot dens. It looks like they are already starting to melt...

Also new while I was gone is the Gingerbread Garden.

Notice any similarities?

There is also the Jamaaliday Necklace in Bahari Bargains.

Many Jammers have noticed there is a new code. "jamaalidays13" will get you 500 free gems! (no caps)

I am going to post an Awards page soon. I will give awards for "Best AJ Blogger," "Best Friendly Follower," and "Best Buddy." To win the Blogger award, you must have an Animal Jam blog and post at least 3-4 times a week. I understand if you are sick or something, and can't post, just mention that somewhere so I know you haven't just forgotten about your blog. The follower award goes to the follower that posts the most helpful comments, follows this blog through updates, and always is ready to help. The Buddy award goes to the Jammer who is nice, helpful, friendly, and considerate of others on Animal Jam. The nominations are open now, so head right over to the "Awards" page and start nominating some Jammers!
Happy No Longer Jamaalidays Jamming!

Gingerbread Man and Gems

Sorry for not posting yesterday. The daily gift was the Cookie Table! How edible.


Mmmm...and the legs are peppermint sticks! This goes well with the Marshmallow Chair. The daily gift  today is 900 gems. Well.....


The new items that came out yesterday and today are:
The Hat and Beard!


This came back from last year.

Also, the Gingerbread Man in Bahari Bargains!


This rides on your back.

There is also a new Jam-a-Gram. A bit early, though.


Credit to Snowyclaw for noticing that there are two new features on your settings.

You can now turn on and off buddy requests and game invites.

Well, that's all for today. Happy Jamaaliday Jamming!

Winter Window and Stocking

The Daily Gift today is another old item. The Winter Window!

Wait....I just noticed something. On the picture above, the tree on the tall hill is on the right. On the post in the Daily Explorer, the tree on the tall hill is on the left. What do you think of that? This is a pretty good collectible Jamaaliday item.

There are two new items today. The clothing item, in Jam Mart Clothing, is the Reindeer Mask. Unless I am much mistaken, the lights light up and flash. At least they do in Best Dressed. 

The new item in Jam Mart Furniture is the Stocking. This would look great with the Fireplace gift!

There is even a nail so you can fix it to your fireplace or wall.

There was another Alpha Spotlight, this time featuring Sir Gilbert, the tiger shaman. 

Also, as a thank you for donating so many gems, you can now download this cool Snow Leopard wallpaper.

I am adding a new feature to AJ Nox. For every post that gets more than 15 pageviews, I will donate 100 gems. For every post that gets 5 or more comments, I will donate 100 gems. For every new follower on this blog, I will donate 500 gems. I will also add a Pledge page, where you can pledge to donate gems. I am (finally!) adding an Awards page. I hope to see you there soon! Happy Jamaaliday Jamming!

Marshmallow Chair and Candy Cane Lights

Today's daily gift is pretty cool. It is the Marshmallow Chair!

This would go perfectly if you have a Gingerbread Den. All of these candy gifts!

Today's daily item is the.....Candy Cane Lights? Hang on a minute.....

Why are they selling the daily gift? That ruins the whole point of "daily." Now you can get it anytime! Oh, well. 

The Daily Explorer post today is about Toys, which you can win from playing the Phantom Invasion game. You can even win Phantom toys from playing the special den-version of the game! I have one, but it is not for trade. 

Today's special feature is Mysteries of Jamaa. This is from the Sol Arcade.

What could be hiding under that cover blanket? Is is a model of the Solar System? Or possibly a new game for Jammers to play? What do you think?

Happy Jamaaliday Jamming!

Giant Candy Cane

 The daily Jamaaliday gift is 800 gems! More gems!!!!

The new den Jamaaliday item today is the Giant Candy Cane from last year. This really is big! I put some in my den, to add to the Jamaaliday feel.

There is a Daily Explorer post about the Epic Den of the Week, belonging to Lucky Spookypirate!

I attended a fashion show this morning, and I reported on it. Here are some of the pics from it!

This was m95187 performing. 

This was fff212 performing. kklolppl was hosting the fashion show in her den. 

Here we are, waiting for results. Some other people turned up to listen, too. 

And the winner is.....

 fff212!!! Congrats! You have won a Bronze Brick from Epic Wonders!

Now, here are all of the contestants and the hostess.

I am going to try and report (good report, not report to AJHQ) on some of these den-events. Until then, Happy Jamaaliday Jamming!

RIM Winter Hood

Today is Monday, which means their is a Rare in one of the shops. It is in the Jam Mart Clothing, and it is the Rare Winter  Hood.

This is pretty cool, but I think AJHQ is going to run out of items to make Rare soon. What do you think?
The gift for today is the Peppermint Pathway, which can be seen in Coral Canyons and other places.

Can you find them all? 

I am adding a new feature called Mysteries of Jamaa. Sometimes, I will take a picture of something that is mysterious around Jamaa and ask about it. 

Here is an example: 

 What do you think the boards are covering up? Happy discussing! Oh, yeah, and Happy Jamaaliday Jamming!

(that's my new signature, how do you like it?)
