Spin to win is back and more

Hi!
I know, I know I said I would be leaving today.Well, I am. In fact, I will be at the airport in less then an hour. But I thought I could squeeze in a little time on AJ and a quick post.

First of all, spin to win is back!

I dident go on yesterday, so I have no idea what the item was, or if you did go on yesterday if it starts you at two of three.

Anyway, the Jamaaliday gift might be over, but Jamaaliday's are still here.
All the items are still for sale!

In fact, none of them are on clearence. When something is on clearance, it has two weeks left. But to holiday items even go on clearance? I have no idea. If somebody could tell me, that would be great.

Also, I got this alert.

Wow, gem ball. I haven't played that game since FOREVER!
I went to the chamber of knowlage. I thought that I might be able to spot an Alpha, with them coming back and all. Also, this  looked just like the old Shaman alerts. And Temple of Zios is like, the only place I have ever heard of Alphas, or Shamans being.

But there wasn't an Alpha in sight. The game was double gems though. I played.

So.... I think that is all! I MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT, be  able to post while on vacation, but do not count on it. Until then, have a good winter break! Please Comment!

Merry Christmas!

Just here quickly to wish you a very Merry Christmas, and good luck in 2013.

BOW AND ARROWS! (and me going away, ect.)

Everyone. Something amazing has happened today. 

Every Jammer, Big and Small, has received the legendary bow and arrows. No joke. 

I have to say, I'm in shock. This item is just so rare. They made a golden bow as an epic wonder. Every time you go to Township, people are begging for these. I knew Christmas Eve gift was going to be special, but THIS??? Wow. All the servers were full of people getting there bow.

Next thing I know, all the names and how full it was disapeered. I was lucky to snap a screen shot of this.

I clicked on one of them and it stated 

This is bitter sweet. I am happy for all the new Jammers that were searching and searching for bows, but then there are people like me, who enjoyed having this as a rare item. And worse, those who traded everything the had for a bow.

However, the bows are in different colours and are not rare. Can't complain about that!

Also, it is not only Christmas Eve, but a Monday!

Todays rare item is...

Is.... 

Hmmm.... there isn't one. I guess the bow and arrow itself is the rare item! 

Also, I found a major glitch with the servers.

Or is it a glich? Did Animal jam juts have so many people that they had to make more, but didn't have to make new names?

But then the next thing I knew all the names and how full it was dissapered. I was creepy.

I choose one of the blank servers, and it stated to load normally. But then after 30 seconds this popped up.

Ok then? I feel like this all has something to do with the bow and arrow.

Anyway, I finnaly feel like this blog is becoming big.

Today I once I finnaly got passed the server problem, I found 40 friend requests in my mail box.

I am really sorry everyone who sent those to me, but I didn't except any of them. Having so many buddy requests is a blessing. Really. I love knowing that I have some fans out there, but I really do not want to hurt you guys by having to delete someone I met. So I made a policy; anyone I meet from the blog, will automatically be my buddy. If I check my buddy list and see that they have not been on for over 30 days, I will delete them. As for the Jam-A-Grams, I will except every 33rd person. (33 is my favourite number.) So if I get 33, I will except the last one. If I get 66, I will except the last one and the 33rd one. If I get, say, 49, I will except the 33rd one. See what I am getting at here? The point is, you wanna be the 33rd person to buddy me. Simple as that. Also, the rule that if you have not been on for over 30 days applies to everyone. Does that seem fair? I hope it does. I just do not want a million people who rarely go on anymore on my buddy list when I could have people who go on everyday and really want to meet me. 

Also, I will not be posting in till January ninth. I will be leaving on Vacation on boxing day, and with tomorrow being Christmas, I will be to busy to Post. But you can still go on an read my other posts, like the Alpha Christmas storie. And I hate to tell you this about the story, but it will not be done by Christmas. Yeah I will be really busy. I have a Christmas party today and packing to do today, Christmas tomorrow and and a vacation after that. (I am going to Hawaii.) I thought that it would be better to finish the story then to abandon it, and really, does it matter if I finish after Christmas? It will be better anyway, because I will not be rushing to get it done. I can also work on it on the plane, so I can post it right when I get back.

I am really sorry to deliver such bad news, but I am a real person, not a robot and I do have a life. Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE comment. I do not get that many view, since this is just starting up, but the whole friend request thing shows that I do have some people on my blog.

See you on the ninth!

Alpha Christmas: Chapter 3, The Party Begins

Once Sir Gilbert had been checked off the list, handing out invitations was a piece of cake. At Grahams home, Liza and Peck found the monkey Alpha hard at work. Yelling throw the crashes and bangs that  his project was making, they told Graham the basic details of the party. He nodded when they asked him if he could come.

Once in Cosmos study, with it's selves stuffed with exotic plants and books as thick as Cosmo was tall, Liza and Peck had a lengthy conversation with koala Alpha. Peck got along with Cosmo. Liza got along  with just about everybody. Cosmo acknowledged that yes, he could come to the party, and not only that but he would bring a side dish of potatoes.

The turnout was going to be pristine. Nobody suspected a thing. As far as the other three alphas were concerned, it was going be the same old, same old. Maybe they would sing some carols, have turkey diner, and hang their stockings. Then in the morning they would open each others gifts and whatever Santa had left them.  It was going smooth as a snow clould. Now it was the morning of the 24rd and all that was left to do was the preparation.

"I'm not so sure about all this..."
Liza stuttered as she shook out a table cloth, adorned with Pecks creations.
"Huh?'bout what?"
Peck questioned though a mouthful of candy.
"You know..."
There was no mistaking the concern in Liza's voice.
"Lying to everyone, making them think it is just a normal party, when really, they could get hurt. Greely, he isn't the nicest of the Alpha's and-"
"Whoa whoa whoa..."
Peck interrupted as walked over to Liza.
"You getting ahead of yourself. It will all be FINE. Sir Gilbert and Greely are, like best friends, so he wont care at all!"
Peck's expression was so care free. She turned a summersault over to the popcorn bowl and throw some kernels into her mouth.
"Yes, he-"
Liza stopped herself mid-sentence as she recalled how bravely Peck had confronted Sir Gilbert. Liza's doubted vanished and she continued on laying the table.

 6:30. The party was to start in half an hour. Liza was wrapping her presents. Peck was bouncing off the walls. Literally.

6:40. Twenty minutes to go. Liza was taking the turkey out of the oven, to the tune of Peck singing We Wish You A Merry Christmas.

6:45. The first guest had stepped though the art studio door, Cosmo. Potatoes in hand, he franticly apologized for being early and eyed the turkey as if it were one million dollars.

6:50. The trio were sitting by the fire. Cosmo made small talk with Liza and Peck flew to the piano to play I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas.

7:00 on the dot and Sir Gilbert knocked on the door. The tiger Alpha was aways on time.

7:10 and still no sign of Graham. The turkey was getting cold. Liza slid it back into the oven and joined the awkward conversation in the living room, in which Sir Gilbert glared at Peck and Cosmo tried in vain to bring the two together.

7:15 and Graham was standing on the front porch. It was clear he had been late because of a machine malfunction. Bits of wire stuck in the monkey's matted fur and his clothes made him look like he had just gotten hit by a bus. But with the exception of Sir Gilbert, nobody minded one bit. The party was about to begin.

"OK everyone!"
Peck called out throw the chatter of the Alphas.
"Settle down, Settle down."
The animals found it quite ironic to here these words coming out of Pecks month, as she never seemed to stay still.
"We will pack up the Christmas dinner, the tree and all other Christmas decorations. We will pack them into sleds and wagons, then go carolling!"

Whispers broke out among the crowd. Peck got some odd looks from Sir Gilbert, Cosmo and Graham. Who could blame them? This was  the strangest idea any of them had ever heard.

"Carolling with a turkey and a tree?"
Graham murmured to Liza, who just shrugged in response. She knew Peck's idea was a little out there, but THIS? Yes, Liza could trust Peck, but nobody would ever believe that! All the same Liza decided to support her friend.

"I think thats a great idea!"
The panda Alpha declared.
"That way we will... umm...."
Liza desperately chased around the good bits of the irresponsible idea.
"Umm... the people will be happy to see decorations and stuff. It will be more... umm... Christmasy!"
Liza breathed a sigh of relief, more then happy to get that over with.

"Pish Posh."
That was Sir Gilbert. Peck stifled back a giggle at his unusual word choice.
"This is poppycock!"
Peck doubled over in laughter. Sir Gilbert sent a death stare her way, silencing the rabbit.
"Why in Mira's name would we bring the turkey?"
The tone of the tiger warriors voice brought Liza back to the Phantom battle. She shuddered.
"Ooh!"
Pecks voice trilled.
"So it can smell good! You know, like turkey."
Cosmo licked his lips.
"If you say so. I do not see the reason for this, but I do enjoy carolling and I shall be joining you."
Graham rolled his eyes but got up and plucked the stockings of the fire place. Cosmo shrugged and moved over to the table. Sir Gilbert and Liza led Pecks Christmas tree out the door, and onto a long thin wagon.And Peck was friskily running around the studio, her arms piled high with miniature clay statures of Santa, nativity scenes and anything every remotely related to the Holidays.

It wasent long before the Alphas were all outside. It was only 7:30 but the sky was pitch black. Graham had constructed some elaborate pulley system that somehow, someway, attached the wagons and sleds together so they only needed to pull one rope.

"Peck!"
Liza tapped the rabbit Alpha on her shoulder.
"Hey."
Peck stayed where she was, starring over in the direction of Greely's cave.
"Do you think it's gonna work out?"
Liza asked. The tone in her voice was sweet and concerning.
"No. No I don't."
Peck turned to face the gentle panda who spoke such kind words.
Liza was taken aback. Peck was usually such an oppimist. She had never seen her like this. Ever.
"I think it's just....finally sinking in."
Peck's voice was cracking. A fat round tear drop rolled down her cheek. Liza watched it hit the ground. The snow engulfed the tear.
"Hey. It's ok. No crying on Christmas eve!"
Liza tried to cheer Peck up, but she couldent. There was a lump in her throat like she had just dry swallowed a huge pill.

Peck bit her lip. She turned around and faced Greely's cave. He was in there. Waiting. He knew it was Christmas. He knew the other Alpha's were having aparty. He knew he was being left out. Peck could hear Graham and Cosmo laughing behind her. Laughing. That suddenly seemed so distant, so far away from the point Peak was at. And then it hit her. This must be how Greely feels, day after day after day. But maybe the laughing wasn't just dissent to him. Maybe it wasn't anything to him. Just another word. A word without meaning. A world without laughter. Then the sad feeling inside of Peck changed. But it didn't change the way she expected. No, she didn't expect this at all. Peck expected happiness. But no happiness  came. Anger came. It started as a spark. But the sadness kindled that anger into a full out fire, raging inside of Peck. She clenched her fists. She gritted her teeth. And she ran. She ran and ran and ran. Peck could hear Liza calling her to come back. But that didn't stop her. It made her go faster. And faster. And faster and faster and... she was there. Right on Greely's door steep. Peck let out her breath. She reached up and held the wolf head knocker in both hands. She knocked once, twice. Peck could hear the Wolf Alpha walking up to the door. There was no way her could of known this then, but his life, his lonely lonely life, was about to change.

New item and gift.

Yo Animal Jam!
You may have noticed I changed the founts of my blog. Do you like it? I thought the old one was a little to hard to read, you couldn't really see the periods and stuff.

Any who, todays Jamaaliday item is a snowman family.

Sigh... had it last year. As I said earlier, I wish AJ would bring out new items for Jamaalidays. Never the less, the Snowman Family is uber adorable! Don't mind having two, what I do mind is that these things are not rare anymore.

Next thing we know, everyone will be getting a bow.

At Epic Wonders, the gingerbread gardens are for sale.

Better start saving up for it, Christmas is the day after tomorrow! I guess you could say it's Christmas Eve Eve. I  am really hoping I can finish the story today.

So that is it for today!
Toodles!

Alpha Christmas: Chapter Two,Sir Gilbert

The whole world was white. Snow blow around in flurries. The animals trudged though chalk white fluff past their knees.

As she drew a picture of a rabbit in the snow, Peck imaged the world surrounding her was her art supplies. To her, the snow was a blank canvass, a clean sheet of paper. It was almost like she was getting a chance to start again on Greely. Peck snatched up a handful of snow and rolled it around and around in her paws. The result, a perfect snowball. It reminded her greatly of clay, it starts with just a plan old lumpy brick, but with a little care, you can turn it into anything. 

"Peck! Come on!"

That was Liza. Peck could just barely make out her shape though the fog. She abandoned her snowball and darted up to the Panda Alpha.

"It's freezing out here. No time to play in the snow!"

Peck looked up at Liza. Frost speckled her fur, and the hood of her coat was pulled way up.Liza seemed to think the blizzard was holding them back. Maybe she just didn't see the purity of it. Not everyone could make that kind of connection like Peck.

"Ok."

Peck announced.

"Sir Gilberts first."

Liza was a little taken aback. Confronting this great warrior would not be an easy task. Sir Gilbert was kind, and yes, many are surprised when they find out  just how polite he is, but Liza found it hard to believe he would approve Pecks idea. Sir Gilbert never thought Peck should of been an Alpha. 

In fact, She couldn't really image anyone approving of Pecks idea. It was just so... out there. So different. Liza worried for Peck, she was just so innocent, unaware of all that could go wrong.

The duo lumbered though the snow, Peck skipping, laughing and singing, Liza worrying. It was just Natural for Sir Gilbert to disapprove of Peck, he a warrior, she an artist who was absent at the phantom battle. But whatever the reason, Peck was not bothered by this prominent fact.

The snow thinned out into a thin frost, and then disappeared interiorly.Liza and Peck found  themselves in Crystal Sands.

At once, Peck flicked of her coat and plummeted down a slide.
"Peck!'
Liza shouted.
"Come back here!'
Sir Gilbert would think even less of Peck if she came in to his cave dripping wet. But the bunny wouldn't listen. She landed in the ocean with a "SPASH" and begin chatting furiously with a group of rabbits.

Liza sighed. It was Pecks idea to come here, and now she didn't even seem to care about Greely! The Panda Alpha wanted to just walk off and let Peck do this on her own. After all, that was the original plan.

But something held Liza back. Peck got distracted easily, that was all. She did really care about the Party. Peck did really care about Greely. And the more Liza thought about that, she started to care, too. Lost in thought, Liza blindly distended down the slope and entered Sir Gilbert's cave.

"Liza. What a pleasure to see you."
Sir Gilberts voice was as deep as the ocean.
"You too, Sir Gilbert. Merry Christmas!"
The great tiger warrior nodded but didn't take his eyes of the water slide. It didn't take a genius like Graham to figure out he was starring at Peck. Liza needed to act fast.
"We are having a party again."
She bust out.
"Oh, I would enjoy that so."
Sir Gilbert shifted his weight and looked Liza in the eyes. He was kind of intimidating.
"Now, I must have the details. Does it cover multiple days like last year?"
"Yes, it's a sleepover again!"
Liza's heart fluttered. It would only be so long before he asked-
"And where is this party to be held?'
Liza swallowed hard. She took a deep breath.
"Its at my art studio."
Peck! Liza spun her head around and saw the rabbit Alpha, ears flopping, fur dripping, covered in pain. Peck, funny looking and rebellious  had just saved Liza from the most awkward moment of her life. Liza mouthed the words,
"Thank You!"
and turned to face Sir Gilbert.
The warriors eyes narrowd. There was not hiding that fact that he didn't like Peck.
"Of coarse."
Sir Gilbert stated. The tone of his voice was as cold as the snow they had just left.
"So... Will we see you there?'
Liza inquired, flashing a fake smile.
"I suppose."
Sir Gilbert looked at his claws. He was becoming board.
"Ok!Great!"
Liza waved goodbye to the tiger Alpha, who shoot Peck a haunting look. The rabbit responded by sticking out her tongue. Liza efficiently ushered Peck out of the cave. Once they were out of ear shoot of Sir Gilbert, Liza gave her thanks to the rabbit Alpha.
"Hey Peck. Thanks for saving my but!"
"Don't mention it!"
Peck shrugged.
"Hey, and heads up, tell people the parties at my place. We can start there and move on to his cave. They are so close!"
Liza nodded and patted Peck on the back. Everything was going to be just fine.

Tons O' New stuff

Hey, zoocage here! (Who else would it be?)
Sorry I didn't post yesterday! I was pretty busy, but I know I will have time to post tomorrow, and today. (duh.)
So, yesterdays Jamaaliday item was a cookie table!

This would look great with the marshmallow chair. And specking of that, I think there is some kinda food theme going on here..... gingerbread house, ginger bread tree house, cupcake pet house, lollipop patch, marshmallow chair, cookie table and tons of candy cane things. So cool!

Todays Jamaaliday gift is 900 gems.

At Jam- Mart-Furniture, stockings are selling for 400 gems!

Hang them on your fire place, it looks nice. Also, stocking are one of those items that when you change the colour, you also change the design. There is something for everyone!

At Jam-Mart-Clothing, the reindeer antlers and hat with beard have returned, just in time for Christmas! Both cost 150 gems and the Han and Beard are non-member.

Also, a gingerbread man is for sale at Bahari Bargains.

I was a little confused on how you where this guy, so I bought one to show you. It turns out he rides on your back... but he is pretty small. Cute, but not sure if this is worth the 500 gems it costs.

A new Jam-A-Gram is here!

Wow 2013! 2012 went so fast. But still, a lot of new stuff came out this year. I will try to  post all the big 2012 things soon, but I might not have time with the Christmas story. (The Arctic Wolf one will com out after Christmas.)

Bye bye!

Alpha Christmas: Chapter One, Pecks Plan.

Christmas was just around the corner, and Peck couldn't wait. It was her favourite time of the year, and the Rabbit Alpha was more exited then usual, if that was even possible.

Peck had spent the last week building an entire gingerbread city, designing elaborate cards and homemade gifts for the other Alphas and putting the finishing touches on the light show outside her borrow.

Naturally, Peck wasent the only one in the Christmas spirt. Liza was giving gifts to each animal she welcomed into Jamaa. Cosmo was using his herboligy talents to make medicine, which he delivered to sick baby animals in the hospital. Sir Gilbert was throwing a feast. Gramm was trying to make an exact replica of Santa's Sleigh.

But one Alpha stayed in his cave. Yes, Greely, with a frown on his face and a heart as cold as the snow, could not stand Christmas. It is true that the wolf Alpha likes to keep to himself, and Christmas was no exception.

In result, Peck was going berserk. She needed a plan... and fast! Christmas was in three days. Peck would despise of having anybody, no matter who, locked in a damp,chilly cave while everyone else was gleefully opening presents. Suddenly, it hit her like a drum. Peck had a plan. And she needed the help of all the other animals for it to work.

"Hi Liza! Merry Christmas!"
Peck chimed though the bamboo stalks at Liza's door.
"Hello, Peck. Same to you!"
Replied the gentle panda with a voice like silk.
"Now come on it, it is awfully cold out there."
Without even a flicker of hesitation, Peck bounded inside and stomped her massive feet hard on the wicker mat.
"I have a plan."
She announced triumphantly, making her way into the bamboo living room.
Liza's heart turn a summersault as she sauntered into the kitchen to get some eggnog. Pecks plans were never good news. The last one had involved Sir Gilbert covered in slime... he was not happy.
"What is it this time?"
Liza simply inquired, instead of showing her doubts.
"Well, I am throwing a party."
Peck piped up, flopping into a bean bag chair.
Th panda alpha nodded, pouring eggnog into two tall glasses. So far, so good.
" What kind off party?'
She asked causally.
"A Christmas party."
Liza couldn't help thinking this was too good to be true. She lumbered into the living room and handed a glass to Peck, who was composing a little jingle on the spot.
" Thanks!"
Peck graciously sang.
"I love eggnog!"
Liza gingerly  took a seat on the sofa across from Peck. But before she could even open her mouth, Peck spontaneously bursted out,
"Do you think you can come?"
"Maybe."
Liza didn't want to hurt Pecks feelings, but she knew the rebel this little bunny was. There was bound to be a twist to her plan.
"Can I see the invitation?"
Peck practically flew across the room in one leap, eggnog in hand. The rabbit hit the ground with a "THUD" and eggnog went everywhere. But if Peck noticed, she didn't care. She was obviously to raped up in the party invitation.

Peck dug around in the pocket of her paint spattered coat and pulled out a card, which she handed to Liza, beaming from ear to ear. Like everything Peck can get her paws on, the invitation was nothing short of a masterpiece. Tiny holly leaves bordered a fantastic drawing of a reindeer. The words "Your invited too.." Were written in italics on the frount. Liza gently open the card to reveal the details.
"An Alpha Christmas Party!"
Liza read out loud.
"December 24th, 7:00 pm to December 25th, 9:00pm.
Liza turned her head to Peck.
"A two day party like last year?"
Peck nodded, ears bobbing up and down. Liza had thrown a party with identical times to Pecks the previous year. Everyone had a blast. After all, the Alphas where like family.

Liza continued on reading.
"Greely's Cave, Coral Canyons...."
It took her a moment to process what she had just read. Then Liza stopped short.
"PECK!"
Liza thundered.
"WHAT?!"
Peck replied, a little shocked. Liza... mad? Those to words just didn't go together. Kind of like Greely and Christmas... it was almost unthinkable.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT GREELY WILL SAY WHEN A BUNCH OF CHEERY ALPHAS SET FOOT IN HIS CAVE? WAIT, WHAT AM I SAYING! HE WOULD NEVER LET US IN HIS CAVE!"
Liza rambled on like a charging bull. Suddenly, Peck jumped next to Liza and busted out, "Please!"
Liza abruptly stopped, pondering what on earth this little bunny could say next. Peck was so unpredictable...
"Greely never comes to our Christmas Parties."
Peck chirped.
But Liza was holding on to her argument.
"What makes you think he will want to have anything to do with this one?"
"I don't."
Peck said, her chin up like she had just won a battle.Liza couldn't help being a little surprised.
"I was thinking he wouldn't like it at first, but then he could maybe except it. You know, kinda like How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
Liza chuckled.
"Peck, you were not there at the  great phantom battle. Greely is so powerful, nothing gets in his way."
"So?"
Peck questioned. She could be so stubborn and almost ignorant sometimes. But maybe that was why everyone liked her so much... but she wasn't buying in Liza.
"Peck, you can't do it!"
Liza was getting desperate for ways stop Peck from throwing a party at Greely's.
"Whatever."
Peck shrugged. For a moment Liza thought the party was not going to happen... then Peck zipped up her coat and walked out into the front hall.
"Wait- where are you going?"
Liza called.
"To hand out the invitations. Thanks for the eggnog."
Peck slipped on her boats while Liza searched for the right thing to say. Good luck? Have fun? It seemed odd to wish someone well for something she didn't quite aprove of. But Liza had another idea. She pulled on her boots, thrown on a coat and dashed out into the snow covered bamboo.
"Peck! Wait up!"
Pecks head flashed in Liza direction and she turned around, a mischievous look in her eyes.
"Where are you going?"
Peck asked as Liza scampered to her side.
"To help you."

Newspaper

The Newspaper came out today!

Nothing big. Just a few things about member gifts, Jamaaliday, etc. 

But I am intrigued by this:

To sum that up, its saying 2013 is going to be Jamaa's best year ever.  Hmmm.... is that just advertising for people to say on AJ next year, or could it be a little bit more? I may be the only one who thinks this. 

Also, why does it say, quote unquote, "the Jamaa?" Isn't is just Jamaa?

Whatever, I might just be over thinking this.

The only other legit new thing is the article on Sir Gilbert. Read about him in the daily explorer!

I think thats all! Keep jamming!
-zoocage

Thank you Fuzzy

Hey hey!
Todays Jamaaliday item is a winter window... they sold that last year if I am not mistaken.... I guess a lot of people are so new the were not on last year.

Another thing is that it was announced the other day on Fuzzy Shyivys Animal Jam Rush that there will be no more posts. Fuzzy left long ago, and Bella and QAZAR haven't been posting since September. I guess it was the blogs time.

So this post is a thank you to the folks at Animal Jam Rush. You guys are nothing short of amazing, and that is what inspired me to create my guide to Jamaa. Thank you for giving us a that Jamtastic blog. I hope to carry on your legisy.

Jamaaliday Gift and new items!

Hey Jammers!
Sorry I didn't post about the Jamaaliday item and other usually updates yesterday, I was so busy, then I worked on my storey. I think you will all love it, it incorporates Warrior Cats, which I am totally in love with, and Animal Jam!

Anyways, yesterdays gift was 800 gems, and todays is....

A marshmallow chair! Useful AND cute!

Also, two new items are now on sale at Jam Mart Furniture:

Candy Cane fence? WHAT??!! That was a Jamaaliday gift! I think selling that takes away its rareness. Besides, the point of Jamaaliday gifts are so people log in everyday.... why would people do that when they can buy the gift later?  Oh well, these items are both none member, which is great! Non members were in need of more Christmas items.

So thats todays post! Catch ya later,

Turn Yellow To Honour Victims of School Shooting.

If you haven't heard, tragedy has stuck the world. On Friday, someone broke into Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut USA and ruthlessly shoot 26 students and teachers.

This incident was horrendous. So the least we can do is honour those who lost their lives. For the next little while, I challenge you to do something to show that you care for the real world, not Jamaa. Just take a few seconds away from playing Animal Jam and turn your animal yellow.

You might be surprised to see something so serious on my usually cheerful blog. But I couldn't just ignore this. Many of you have heard people saying something about turing yellow, but for whatever the reason, few Jammers do so. I heard someone say it is because this already happened and they cannot stop it. But they are missing the point. The point is turning yellow is a simple action that shows you care. Nothing more.

In a perfect world, a world much like Jamaa, things like this do not happen. But also in a perfect world, people do care. They care about honouring those who passed away and the families of all those kids.

I will leave you something to think about; these kids were younger then you or me. They had so much life ahead of them. But now, presents with their name on them under the Christmas Trees of Newtown will remain unopened.

And so will the doors opportunity there life's bore.

Rare item Monday and more!

Mondays suck. First day back at school and all that, ugh. There is however, one good thing about Mondays... it is Rare item day!
Todays item is....
A Rare Arctic Hood! (Members only.)












The hood is selling for 900 gems at Jam Mart clothing, get yours today!
In addition, todays Jamaaliday gift is a peppermint pathway!

Cool! I guess my little theory about how it switches between gems and an item is wrong. It doesn't matter, though, the Pathway is utterly A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
It can also be seen around Jamaa. I know there is  a pathway in Coral Canyons, maybe some others can be seen?

I will be writing some stories for this bog, one chapter at a time. The first one will be about a pack of Arctic Wolves who roam Mount  Shiveer. Does that sound interesting to you? Tell me in the comment section. I would love if you guys would comment more!

Happy Holidays!

DIY: Zoos

Who doesn't love a good party?

The music, the dancing, the themes... parties are so fun!The ones made by AJ HQ are awesome, but don't let that stop you from making your own awesome service. I have made TONS. Some work. Some don't. Either way the are a blast! Every week you will be receiving some  tips on parties and services, written by yours truly.Todays special future.... ZOOs!

Given that animals are a major part of AJ, zoos are a hit! I think it is safe to say we have all been to the typical, "Wolves over here! Bunnies over here!"type place.But that is just a recipe for disaster. It is only so long before someone is complaining there is no place for rhinos, (newsflash, your the only rhino here!) and the wolfs are pretending to eat the bunnies and seals. Yes, a zoo that goes well is a rare thing. But when it goes well, it goes REALLY well. Trust me, I have done it!

Hosting a zoo takes a lot of preparation. My advice is that you start days before hand and host you zoo more then once. Same goes with other services, with the exception of parties. That way, the is much more organized. But what do you have to do in preparation? You have to rearrange your furniture into cages. Sometimes you need to buy fences, or other things for your animals.

 It is best not to have your normal furniture on display, it takes away from the feeling of your zoo. If you are a member, consider using the small house den (the non member house,) because you will lose your guests easily otherwise. Have the cages outside, and for the inside, try a gift shop with plushies or toys or even more cages. 

Next come the hard part- the animals. If you are a member, pets work great, usually with other animals. However, using your guests as animals docent always work, as I explained above. What I like to do is hire my buddies to be the animals. They should act not like they are people, but the animals themselves. Tell your friends not to talk to the guests. Then tell them to stay in the cage.

The next and final step- getting the people to come to your zoo. I will be posting some phases that draw people in soon. For a zoo, or most services, (not parties,) you do not want to have a lot of people, as this can get out of hand. Try having you buddy send you a jam-a -gram when the desired amount of people are at your den. Then go to you den, gather everyone together, and take them on a tour around your zoo. Maybe say a fact about the animals in the cages you are visiting.

                                                    Thats a true fact, by the way!
If people are going inside the cages, don't get mad. That kinda takes away from the, umm, zooness of your zoo, if you know what I mean. Just ignore them or say: "Also in this cage is a _______."

End your zoo when you have gone though all the animals, or when all the guests leave. Send them a card once you are done. Here is an example:

Good luck with your zoo!

Wolf Plushies and more!

Hey! Me, zoocage again! Just thought I'd share a few things with you.
For the first one, I will give you a riddle.
I can be big, or I can be small.
You can carry me with you, to school or to the mall.
I can hold on to things, my paws stick together like glue.
I am cute, cuddly, and also I'm blue!.
I can be bought at AJ outfitters, I am brand new!
What am I?
If you guessed wolf plushie, you are 100% correct! Because AJ outfitters just got a shipment in of these cute yet majestic animal stuffies.

Wolf Plushie!

A WWWWWW! Look at them! The plushies are replicas of how wolfs look when you first get them.Blue, no pattern, pink ears, white paws, white belly and snout. The eyes and nose are black. The wolf has no clothes expect for its green collar. The fur looks REALLY soft. I want one!

But what about the rest of the riddle? How does this little fellow get carried around with you? The answer is simple, yet clever. Wolf plushies come with a little pouch complete with a keychain.It is the perfect size for them and made out of the same soft material. 

The carrier can also be a sleeping bag for your wolf!

Yeah that seems really cool! And that is not all! The wolf had magnets on its paws. You can close their hands together, display them on your locker or have them hold hands with each other. And he comes with a code for 5 000 gems! Whats not to love! So versatile and adorable!

However, there is some bad knews. AJ says this guy will not be around forever. Is he on your holiday wish list? Write in the comments section. 

Speaking of holidays, you know what time of year it is! Jamaalidays!

Todays special gift is.....

700 gems! SWEET!

The gem gifts are going up and up.First 400, then 500 followed by 600 and finally 700! I think everyday it switches between gems and a holiday item. At the rate were going, us Jammers are going to be RICH! 

Se ya later folks. Jam on!

Welcome!

Animal Jam is an amazing place.

A place where you can talk with you friends, express yourself and be who every you want to be.Animal Jam is a place for fun. For friends. And, yeah, though it may seem hard to believe, for learning.

But lets face it. Animal Jam can get a little confusing to you. Or maybe you just want to see more of Jamaa.

Whatever the reason, you are not alone. I know what it is like, trying to find all the latest codes, knowing what is the right clan to join or franticly running around for rare items. So that is why I created... (drumroll, please!)

I will be here to help you on your adventures in animal Jam. Who am I? Why,  I'm zoocage herself!

I will try and post at least once a week,hopefully more if Jammers like yourself keep on coming. However, if I do not post as promised, please understand.
