Booster Box Winner — More YouTube drama
Hey everyone. So I know I haven’t posted anything here in a month. Sorry. Super busy! But it looks like now’s the time, and unfortunately, it’s for bad news. YouTube has yet again removed one of my videos. This time, it’s the video announcing the winner of the raffle. The same raffle that got removed in the first place. Clearly I have to take some action to sort all of this out. So until I have things fixed, here is the video announcing the winner!
Thank you all for your support!

Updated Trade List – Black and White, HGSS Black Star Promos
Hello everyone!
I’ve taken the time to update my needs on my trade list. I haven’t been looking for much since I finished Call of Legends, but now that Black and White is out I need some help completing that set! I also have decided to try and collect all of the HGSS Black Star Promos. But after going through the ones I have, I realize I will need a lot more help with those, as I only have 7. So here are the ones that I need.
HGSS01 Ho-Oh
HGSS02 Lugia
HGSS03 Pikachu
HGSS04 Wobbuffet
HGSS05 Hoothoot
HGSS06 Noctowl
HGSS07 Feraligatr (Prime)
HGSS08 Meganium (Prime)
HGSS09 Typhlosion (Prime)
HGSS12 Cleffa
HGSS13 Smoochum
HGSS16 Plusle
HGSS17 Minun
HGSS18 Tropical Tidal Wave
HGSS22 Porygon
HGSS23 Porygon2
HGSS24 Hitmonchan

Also, I am going to dedicate a ton of time today and tomorrow to update my HAVES list as well. I’m trying hard to stay organized, guys! Sorry if I’m not always on top of trades. I’ll be updating that and a few other things within the next few days, so keep on the look out!

Opening a Victini Box and 2 extra Black & White Packs!
Josh and I stopped at Target after a Black & White prerelease and were excited to find that the new set was already in stores! So I picked up this Victini box to kick things off! Plenty more Black & White to come.
I can’t wait to open more!

Blackwork Hoppip
Hey everybody! I wanted to share one of my newest projects with you all! I actually started this about a month ago, but I haven’t had a lot of time to work on it. I came across something called Blackwork Embroidery and thought I would give it a go. It’s somewhat related to cross-stitching, but the outcome is very different. Since this was my first project I kept it pretty simple. I think I’ll try to do different, more complex patterns on the next one I make (if I ever finish this one :P)!
Here is what it looks like so far. Without going into too much detail about how it’s made (and risking boring you), I decided to use different colored thread for different shades as opposed to changing the style of the stitch for different shades, which is customary. But I’m really fond of this style of stitching so I will most likely try to do it right next time!
What do you guys think? Here are a few more picture if you want to see close ups of the different patterns!

Solosis, Duosion, Reuniclus Magnets!
I finally made a complete evolution line of magnets! I made a couple of Reuniclus magnets for people (the one in the picture isn’t even for me!) and I completely fell in love with the Pokemon. Naturally I decided I loved Solosis and Duosion, too. So I made them all and wanted to share them with you guys!

A Huge Thank You!
I’m completely blown away by all of the amazing people that I’ve met since I started posting my videos on YouTube. You are all insane. And amazing.
I started collecting cards to have something that I could do with my boyfriend that was Pokemon related, but wasn’t actually playing the game. And as a spur of the moment decision I started posting videos of my collecting. I figured it would help me meet people to trade with, since it seemed like a great community. Now here it is, a mere 4 months later, and I have over 600 subscribers and I’ve met some truly great people. You all make this experience so worthwhile.
I can’t really express in words how grateful I am for this whole experience, but I want to say thank you. Every single person who is subscribed and who I’ve had great conversations with and have traded with — Thank You.
And a very special thank you to Kurokitten87 for this amazing gift.
I am so excited to keep collecting and sharing it with you all, and to meet even more fantastically cool people.
