Dear Diary,

Hola, amigos!  This past week has been pretty eventful in Beachy so I have a few things to update ‘ya on :) Yay!

First of all, it’s my absolute FAVORITE time of the year! CHERRY BLOSSOMS!  I LOVE the pink trees & I love it even more when their pretty pink leaves are blowing all over town!  Gorgeous!

Sooo pretty!!!

<3

<3

"I know, I know!"

 I hope you all were able to visit your own towns and see the Cherry Blossom’s for yourself.  It really is a neat time in AC.

So, not only did we have Cherry Blossom’s this week but we also had the Fishing Tourney today & Beachy got a new resident! Woot woot!!!  I didn’t have much time to participate in the tourney today but when I left Beachy I was in the lead with a Sea Bass :) I’m pretty sure I won last year so I won’t be TOO heart broken if I don’t win this year.  At least I was able to participate for a short bit :)

Woot woot!

Catching up with Chip :)

And last but not least, let’s talk about my new neighbor!

I was so excited to wake up and see that someone had moved into Kitty’s old house plot!!!  I always loved having a neighbor living so close to me, you really get to know them when they’re RIGHT outside your house lol!  So, without further ado, I will show you a picture journal of how my meeting we nt:

"I have a new neighbor! Who is it???"

"Mathilda? Who's that???"

KANGAROO!!!!!!!

Yay!!!  I’ve never had a kangaroo in any of my AC towns so I’m pretty excited about having her!  Look at her cute little baby :) I’m not going to be the only mommy in Beachy :) (For those of you who don’t get on ACC or who haven’t read my updated ‘about me’ page, I’m expecting a little bundle of joy at the end of November!) I hope I can keep her around until the end of the year, lol!  Exciting!

Anyways, that’s pretty much all I’ve got for this week.  As usual, I’ll leave you with some cutsie around town pics. 

So much red! Red carns, apples, & balloon!

Puddles & I in matching outfits, cute!

So much PINK! Pink roof, tulips, outfit, & balloon! <3

& that’s all for this week.  I hope you’re all having a great time in AC and in real life!  The weather’s gorgeous both places for me right now so I couldn’t be happier :) Let me know how you all do in the tourney!  Good luck!

XOXO.

AC:3DS Mini Gameplay Video

Hey, everyone!  I’m sure most of you have already seen this on the Nintendo Channel on your Wii or on Youtube but I wanted to go ahead and post it for those of you who maybe haven’t seen it :)

Pretty cool, huh?!  Still hoping for new furniture sets, clothing, and villagers ::please please please:: because all of the items in that video looked…well…exactly the same as they have since I’ve been playing AC.

What do you guys think of the video?

Dear Diary,

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

Hola, my friends!  I hope you’re all doing great!  I just got back to Beachy 4 days ago after a 3 month vacation, I missed it sooo much!  It feels so great to be back in Beachy & to see GREEN GRASS!!!  I love Spring!  The Cherry Blossoms are in bloom and my town is looking gorgeous!

I woke up on April 1st with a terrible case of bed-head and still wearing my winter sweater, gross!

:::YAWNNN:::

My mailbox was nearly full with letters from Mom & notices from Town Hall about this & that.  Oh, and I got a letter from Fang :( he had moved away.  He was so cute & will be missed!!! 

After checking my mailbox I decided to roam around and see what kind of damage had been done in my absence.  You would think that one of my townies could take over weed-pulling for me…but no.

Weeds as far as the eye can see...

Weeds & wild flowers covered Beachy.  I decided to hold-off on the town grooming and do a little self-grooming.  I took myself to the city to see Harriet and let her deal with the situation on my head ;) She gave me a cutsie spring bob with bangs, perfect!

Cute hair, cute trees <3

I spent the next few days prettying up my town.  I took all of my hybrids out of storage & began the big task of placing them around town.

The flowers filled up my entire nook & still spilled out over the path!

I’ve officially finished decorating Beachy & it looks great.  I have a lot of flowers but not so many that it takes forever to water.  I like to water all of my flowers daily instead of only watering wilted ones.  I don’t like the look of wilted flowers, yuck, so to me it’s well worth it.

Spring colored Cosmos around my fountain <3

Red Carnations decorate Beachy's museum.

That’s all my updating for today :) I hope you guys enjoyed this post.  I’m so glad to be back in Beachy!  I missed it muchos.  I also recorded a new Town Tour that I’ll have up probably later today & I’ll be working to update my blog pages (especially house tours & villager list) over the next several days :)

I missed you guys!  Here’s a cutsie balloon pic to end :)

<3

Ciao for now.

Dear Diary, I’m BACK! :)

HELLOOO, LONG LOST FRIENDS!

I bet you were starting to think I had deserted this blog forever, huh?  To be honest, I kinda thought I had too.  Every single year, I stop playing AC from January – March.  I have no idea why but I do.  Maybe it’s the winter months?  Anyways, the point is, I’m back! 

Well, I’m almost embarrassed to post these I’m going to anyways.  Only  3 months and some change over due ;) Christmas pics!  I have them so I might as well share them.

Christmas morning :)

Christmas lights, Christmas Snowman, Christmas Me!

READY TO MEET JINGLE!!!

YAYYY!!!

"Merry Christmas to all, & to all a good night!"

And that ends my April Christmas post ;) That was my very first time meeting Jingle & I had a lot of fun.  I managed to get all but 1 Jingle item so I think I did pretty well. 

Now then, time to fast forward to the present…on to SPRING!!!

Dear Diary,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas, everyone!!!  I took a visit to Beachy yesterday and wanted to share about my day with everyone :) I was REALLY excited to see my town covered in snow, so pretty!!!  The Christmas lights on the cedars were really cute too!  Anyways, on with my day!  We’ll get the boring stuff out-of-the-way first.

I had a goodbye letter waiting for me in my mailbox from Kitty :(

"No no...thank YOU, Kitty! I'll miss you!!!"

I always said that Beachy would never be the same without Kitty…I’ll miss her!  We lived next door to each other for nearly a year…OH!  Which reminds me!!!

I’ve officially lived in Beachy for A YEAR!!! 

WOOT!

SWEET ACTION!

Pretty cool!  I really love the Town Hall model I got :) I think I’ve gotten other models too but I can’t remember which ones…hmm…

Also, I was excited to see that Beachy has a new risident…Amelia!

:)

She's pretty!

I’ve never been a HUGE fan of the eagles but if I had to pick one to move to Beachy, it would be her!  She really is pretty!  And for all you non-Americans ;) the bald eagle is our national bird so that’s pretty cool :)

So after I read all my mail and met my new townie, I ran around to play in the snow :)

My snow covered beach house :)

I LOVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!!

I built my VERY FIRST SNOWMAN!!! He looks good, no?

Hiding behind Mr.Snowman :)

Christmas present floating through the air <3.

Looks so cold next to the water!!! BRRR!!!

Later in the day it started snowing so of COURSE I had to snap even MORE pics!  It was my first time to see falling snow in Beachy!

"Snow's falling down...as I step out of my car..." - Hanson ;)

"Baby, it's colddd outsideee"

 And last but certainly NOT least, I took a visit up to Town Hall to mail off Christmas cards to all my best AC friends :)

Such a winter day...

<3.

And that’s all for today :)

I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.  Be safe & have fun!  Hopefully, I’ll be able to play more soon and see some of my best wifi friends again!  Miss you all!

Town Tour Video :)

Howdy, all! 

I’ve FINALLY been able to film a quick tour of my town, yayyy!!!  You can watch it on my “Town Tour” page.  Just click the “Town Tour” link at the top of my blog!  Let me know how you like it :) My town is quite boring now.  I really haven’t been playing AT ALL so I still have no flowers…le sigh.  I honestly just filmed the video because I wanted to try out my webcam on my new laptop ;)

Anyways, I hope you’re all doing well.  I can’t say for sure when I’ll be posting again since I haven’t been playing but I’m sure I will eventually.

Also, if any of you are interested, I’ve actually been working on getting a new blog up and going that’s all about…well, ME ;) so once it’s ready I’ll post a link here so you all can check it out.  I’m sure I’ll be updating it more often than this blog from here on out.

XOXO – Mandy

AC in manga :)

A friend of mine found this in one of his manga books :) He goes “Look, you’re in my book!” HAHA!

I know it’s kinda hard to read but this is what it says:

ARE YOU SURE YOU’VE GOT YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT?
- “THE FIREWORKS START AT SEVEN.  AREN’T YOU GOING?”

- “NO, I CAN’T.  THERE’S AN ANIMAL CROSSING CYBER FIREWORKS SHOW STARTING AT SEVEN.”

Haha!  I loveee it so much!  You can see the girl in the 2nd pic (top left pic) is actually playing WW on her DS <3.

Anyways, I just wanted to share that with all you fellow AC lovers.
