Welcome to the Chat and Showoff thread for DGAC 2022. I didn't include a comments section in the form, since everyone usually gets them posted pretty fast. Rather, here is a space for you to gush about the things that you love from each day, or share pics of a special pet that you adopted! If it's related to advent, you can share with us here about it!

Amanda I've been loving your stamps so much-- the Thankful series warms my heart-- I'm feeling emotions from them <3 I love all the downloadables so far! But I have to ask Audaxity, what inspired this one from today's day? (Dec 18th) A shrimp basket? Those images look familiar but I'm not sure from where... I'm just curious if there's some lore behind it :) Edit: Also those pastel rainbow dali's from today shaina @ kizmet <3

Amanda I've been loving your stamps so much-- the Thankful series warms my heart-- I'm feeling emotions from them <3 I love all the downloadables so far! But I have to ask Audaxity , what inspired this one from today's day? (Dec 18th) A shrimp basket? Those images look familiar but I'm not sure from where... I'm just curious if there's some lore behind it Edit: Also those pastel rainbow dali's from today shaina @ kizmet <3 XD it's honestly just that my thought process is...really bizarre. I was coming up with ideas for donations when they opened, and my brain went "hmm what's a unique Christmas idea? -> Australian Xmas is unique because it's in summer -> Aussies call shrimp 'prawns' and that's a funny word -> prawn in a santa hat? -> None of the google images for that are speaking to me, but I like all these plain shrimp plushies -> I could make baskets of my favorites!"
Like...there's a route from point A to point B, if one of tangential connections that makes no sense to anyone not privy to that process. I based them on the ornament box, too, so each plushie can be taken out. I considered making it a summer downloadable instead of donating it because...that made more sense given the end result, but then I said "what the heck I'll send it anyway, why not?"
Sorry for the confusion lol, it's totally understandable! Now you've got me thinking about "shrimp basket lore" though, and what that would actually entail!

Omg thanks for sharing the shrimp basket lore! I love hearing the stories behind what people make So if it's an ornament base, we can have shrimp plushie Christmas trees?

Though most don't fit very well on the base game Christmas trees when I tested them. Maybe on Amanda's bigger trees they'll do better? If someone really wants a shrimpmas theme lol!

This made my evening!!! Also I loved reading about how you came up with this idea! It's fun to see ideas evolve and the stories behind them :) I will name this puppy Shrimp now.

Absolutely cackling at the shrimp-covered tree! Merry shrimpmas to all, and to all a prawn night :,)
Was also delighted to see my girl Breezy got siblings today! The holidalis are such a pretty file...though to be fair, everything has been pretty great each day!

I had no idea this thread existed I accidentally missed the shrimp so I'm glad I was able to find them and get them. They're so cute! I've been really enjoying all the toys, etc. please have been making. Just yesterday I was very amused by the sound effect's on gyiyg's flan.
