We have also added several new packs to the market since I posted here last, including: a Remembrance Day pack, a Thanksgiving pack, and a Christmas pack. The market has also been updated a bit, it now loads far far faster :)

With a little luck, the next while should see the release of the Male Fashion Doll as well as a Lunar New Year pack.

I want to offer my appologies for the fact this contest was "abandoned" for so long. I have been ill for several months, and just not able to maintain my online commitments. I'm back at things now though, so I will try and run some more contests and such in a more timely manner.
