FA Grant-A-Wish Holiday Wishes
10 years ago
~Step 1~
Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really and truly want.
If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where folks could get in touch with you.
________________________________________
~Step 2~
Surf around other lists to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, and it is in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another person's treasure. If you have a leather jacket that you do not wear, or a gift certificate you will not use, or even know where you could get someone's dream for free -- then just do it! You do not need to spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point is not to put people out, it is to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf -AND- to spread the holiday joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not since it is your choice. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just make a wish and it might come true. Give and you might receive. And you will have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

My Top 10 Wishes
1. Light Brown Shag Faux Fur Fabric - Need 2 yards.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AB177XG.....S45L&psc=1
*I have been putting off making a new pair or having a new pair of Persian kitty cosplay ears and tail made for 3 years. I have found this fur before on Mendell's and was sad when it was taken off their website after a major update last year. I finally found it again and I am so happy since it is the exact color of a show quality red Persian feline and it is long pile. I want the fur so I can cosplay as a happy fluffy kitty. Ideally I would like to have this fur made into a realistic set of ears and tail before my next major con in February or major local event in December or January.
2. Libre Tea Infuser
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MI25YKE.....A6LR&psc=1
*I drink tea almost daily and would adore to brew and take my tea with me on the go. ^^
3. Antique Alive Mother of Pearl Patchwork Design Business Card Holder
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044YPYL8.....I3TC7MRZV7WFJ0
*Something stylish to carry my business cards in. This colorful geometric pattern looks great for everyday use.
4. Carebears
1984 Care Bear Cousins Vintage 13" Plush Bright Heart Raccoon Doll
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0026Y4ABS.....d=I5RIONNW6TA1
Care Bear 20th Anniversary Wish Bear 9" (although 1980's Vintage or another size is fine with me)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EP4EYI.....=IJC8QKXBTRJE9
*"Carebear Stare!" "Carebear Cousins - CALL!" Yes, I am an 80's kid and proud of it. This was the carebear that I remember having as a child and growing up with so I could have a bright future. My smile would be very joyful and bright if I could cuddle with either of them again.
5. Artemis Fowl Books
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0545010098.....I1ZDBT4MUMDM0A
*It does not need to be this specific box set. Physical books in new or good condition condition or digital version of any or all of these books in the Artemis Fowl series would be great.
6. Aurora World My Little Pony Seated Rarity Pony Plush
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GP0IKII.....I2A5QQ7JY5XEPI
*Because Rarity is best pony and he is a creative muse like myself for my artwork. Really almost anything with Rarity staring on it would be awesome to me. ^^
7. Gift art!
No matter if you drew a sketch or made something yourself a gift art is great to receive!
*Please keep drawn art SFW unless you run the idea by me first. Artistic nudes are acceptable. Thanks. ^^

8. Gift cards!
*Etsy - I like supporting other artists so with a gift card this way getting some of their handmade work would be even more affordable for me.
*Restaurants/Food - Because a full artist is a happy artist! Please, note me if you are unsure if your gift card has a location in my area. I live in Northern Kentucky so a gift card for local pizza place in California would not work for me.
9. Books/Magazines
Jewelry / Crafting / Business or Marketing Related. Almost anything geared towards setting up and managing an online business or setting up and managing a business for handmade crafters would be appreciated. I am going to become a traveling artist again touring all sorts of fairs, festivals, craft shows, etc in December. If you have any new or used (but still in good readable condition) physical books or magazines that you would like to pass on I am the gal that would be interested in knowing what you have in your collection.
10. Playing It Forward
I wish for everyone reading this journal to be able to take a moment of their time and play this idea forward. Hopefully everyone can make some else's holiday season a bit more special. For example, pass on a few kind words, post a photo/video/image of something to help make someone else smile, or express some well wishes for a happy holiday season and bright and shiny new year. Everyone can do something, it does not matter who you are or what your talents are or our skill level to make someones day all you have to do is - do it! ^^

lol i actually posted it not to long ago. <3
usually getting buttons of video games i like to, to shows like avatar the last air bender button I was able to get at Sabakon.
The green mushroom, mario bros,Earth symbol button, boo, the bullet bill, fossil, bomb-bomb,water and grass symbol from pokemon and money bag from animal crossing came from an artist who was actually a vendor right behind my booth I was vendoring with my boyfriend at Sabakon.
A lot of people were selling buttons but I have to say, sadly i don't have the artist's name, she gave me the best deal.
If i remember correctly she gave me all 10 of the buttons for 5 dollars. I'm kinda sad that I don't have her name or tweeter because she also made plushies. Told me she even made chocobo. Yet she didn't have any at the time..so i dont even what how her plush chocobos even looked like.
To be honest, I have thought about vending at a con. I planned to vend at FurReality this year but those plans fell through and my dealers assistant could not make it due to other obligations. Right now I do have a specific con in mind - Furry Migration 2016. The theme of "Quest for Shiny" is all too perfect for the jewelry that I make. *excited squee!* I understand that going in having a working con is a lot more involved and can be more stressful than just attending. I assume that in some ways vending at a con will most likely be drastically different than vending at any art fair, craft show, or festival that I have worked at before. I guess mainly I am unsure about my abilities to do what I need to do to vend at a con at this point since right now I will be all by myself. *sigh*
I've never been to a furry con, but from what i know of vending even at an anime con. Three people can be too much, two people is nice but doing it by yourself isn't too hard. Selling items no matter the place is the same way. Saying hello to people as they go by, makes people definitely notice your table. XD
With the booth i had with my mate, he invited two other people as well. Of course one also invited his brother too join us as well. So being within a 10x10 booth became a problem.
heres my list. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7216297/
Oh, I like tea too. I use to make my own blends from the mint that grows around the area. ^^
Do you usually brew your own with bagged or loose tea? Do you ever use a travel infuser for tea on the go or just in a cup at home?
I've TONS of jewelry supplies. I tried for years, but my vision is terrible. I have tons of natural stones, wire, tools, books, etc, mostly never been touched. I cant wire wrap to save my life. too much small detail that I cant see with my one eye.
I don't have anything rarity related, and I dont give my give away items to people who ask for them for themselves. sorry! One of my rules, clearly stated on my journal. :3 you're more than welcome to buy anything from my list, if you're interested though, I could use the money for shipping the christmas wishes i'm granting.
Wire wrapping is a labor of love, time, and patience. I am not as good at it as I could be and I know I need to practice to get better at it.
Actually, I was asking since I have a brony friend who is going through tough times in life with his health. If you had anything MLP:FIM related with Rainbow Dash, I would be more than happy to talk about it over notes. If not, thank you anyways.
pretty much everything i own is rainbowdash. so go ahead an note me.
and ye, i'm blind in one eye, and have no depth perception, so anything requiring hands and small parts, is pretty much out.

i never would have even thought about something like that, being sharkie. I used to have a rubber duck one, but my old roomies sold it, along with the rest of my belongings, this summer.
Sorry to hear that you had bad blood between you and your old roommate.
seriously though, thats the cutest infuser i've ever seen! I never would have thought about it, and now i really want one. >.<
If I had a mailing address for you, then consider your wish for a shark infuser granted. Just pm me your legal name, mailing address, and if you would really like a grey one or another color would be ok with. I found another seller with an orange, light pink, and yellow one in stock.
I totally love the grey one! or white if it exists, but grey is close enough. :p i'll pm you.
I could send you a grey one although it may take awhile to ship due to the holiday rush. Ill check my notes.
Its embarrassing enough that I cant support myself at my age. ^^; I've nothing to show, for my entire life.
I appreciate the offer and advice though.
I really don't feel comfortable asking people for things when they get nothing in return.
I recently found out (this morning) that the hard drive that failed and i sent in, the warranty was up in march, so i'm out a hard drive too. I have a buddy who says i can have his old hard drive, cause hes getting a new (larger size) one and doesnt need his old one, but I dont know how long that will be. :/
