And that’s how I stayed up until two a.m. It’s a great pattern, very simple, and with minor modifications can be used for a wide variety of animals. I also set up a pet shop with the brilliant idea that the kids could choose their own fabric and I would make them a pet to their specifications, just like they do in the game. So in true slumber party tradition there was very little slumbering. I put them back in their original dens, and didn’t hear any more from them till morning. She and Liz had moved into Anika’s Snow Fort, and there wasn’t space for them both so she rolled into the little bench which was the only thing we left in that room when we turned it into Jamaa. DZ maybe crashed a bit after ten, and they were fairly quiet by 11, but at midnight Abby and Lillyan ran down the stairs to tell me Serenity hit her head and was crying. I’m fairly sure they did not get a lot of sleep. They bought lots of silk flowers, scarves, leftover party decorations from old parties, all kinds of things to make their dens really cool! And at bedtime, Eric had a “Midnight Sale.” He sold them glow sticks and flashlights to enjoy in their dens at night. After the den shop emptied, I put out the furniture shop with lots of decoration, pillows and blankets for them to spend their gems on. So we knew we needed to have spins at the party =) The kids LOVED this. (You get a daily spin on Animal Jam, and the kids always ask to at least get enough time on the computer for their spin because if you go every day the multiplier for the spin goes up. Eric set up an hourly spin for them to get more gems. Serenity bought Snowy right away, that was very important. We pulled all the stuffed animals and arranged them on the shelf by size, and charged 1 gem for small, 2 for medium, and 3 for large. The kids spent a few gems on plushies in the plushie shop. The dens cost 25 gems, and they started with around 30. It was such a surprise! She wanted it to be spooky, and it did turn out cool! =) Anika didn’t spend the night, but she still built a Snow Fort, which was beautiful! I had to get out the Halloween tub so she could buy some cobwebs, bats and spiders. She used an a-frame tent, grey tablecloths, and the castle wall fabric. Abby made Peck’s den, using an a-frame tent and lots of different purple fabrics. Lillyan picked a Gingerbread House den, so she used the crazy fort pink castle and added lanterns and pinwheels for candy. Donovan made Cosmos Den, sort of a jungle feeling den using the a-frame tent and a green mesh camouflage netting. She used satin fabric in yellow and blue for sand and water, and a hula skirt for the roof. They built really creative and amazing dens! Serenity chose the cardboard house, and turned it into a Beach House Den. Then I had all my fancy fabrics, cushions, and the entire contents of my linen closet out for them to use to decorate the dens. In the den shop we had three A frame tents, Maia’s lace tent, two crazy fort castles, and a cardboard house to use as bases for whatever den they wanted to build. All the kids received gems as they arrived, and they went upstairs to spend them buying a den to sleep in. So we turned our lego room into Jamaa! With shops and everything. Supercat's 'Super' Art Tutorial *Do NOT take this.Megadiancie7's Wolf Portrait, And More Art!.Some people may not be fans of it, but I feel like things like editing don't get as much credit as they deserve! Sorry that my posts on here have been of things that aren't so traditionally artsy! I like to explore alternate forms of art, and other means of displaying creativity in a cool visual way. If you'd like to go check this den out for yourself, you can! My username is Arcticstar8404, and my den is unlocked! Things that are crumbling, overgrown with vegetation, or unkempt looking make for a very interesting, yet beautiful setting! As for the yard, I went for more of a marsh/swamp look with tons of standing stones, clover ponds, and duck ponds (along with some miscellaneous vegetation). This is why I used so many mossy stone objects in this den. While tidiness and organization can make some dens look wonderful, it is the lack of coordination and the natural chaos of everything that really makes this den idea come to life. To achieve this, I worked a lot on giving it the right "vibe". I imagine this den to be kind of like the Lost Temple of Zios, but for Mira! My idea for it was that it was a sort of hidden hideout that became forgotten overtime. This took a lot of time to make! On and off, I worked over a span of three days to do both the decorating and editing for the den map.
