    Hi Cathie, understandable. I don't visit store much as I used to, so I probably miss out on a lot of good sales. Pup is fine 4 the moment. Very cool, a future book from ya. What's it about ? I agree pets are alway's wonderful companions, I still miss my shepherd sometimes, she's been gone 2 yrs, she's 4 now.

    Awesome, keep in mind that the store hides what you already own, so they wouldn't be showing up for me. I wouldn't remember to look, even if they did- I forget to surf my own wishlist, lol! I'm not doing much shopping due to the back to back mega sales (PC and PA) but hopefully you'll have some luck this month if they do some specials for December.

    Thanks for asking about Puppy's name- :) I'd love to share it but he's the main character in my book series and I have to copyright/protect the name until the book is published. It's a unique name, so for now, he's Puppy. So sorry to hear about your dog. They become a nice habit and a good friend, and then when they aren't there, it can sure make such a difference.

    There were several of us who wanted Oliver- spotted him in the 50% (correction- 47% off) when buy a new release.It was mentioned several pages back that the lights are excellent. It states this is included: DAZ Studio light set + Promo Render settings

    You get a LOT for $13.22. Character, HD version, ear piercing, bracelet, ring, hair, lights, and a thong in 9 colors. (for your own viewing pleasure I guess, if you don't do skimpy!) So I'm getting the Crab to trigger the discount. I noticed the PC items did NOT trigger the new release discount.

    Free:

    And this finally went to the correct price in fast grab. The bundles had been fixed to drop to under $5 but don't know if that is still in place.

    I corrected the previous post but for those subscribed I wanted to mention it is 47% off, not 50%, for Oliver.

    I switched over to the Gingersnap and Peppermint Bundle as I can use characters more often than a crab- but definitely put crab on my wishlist! :) I don't have Belle/Brody but these work on the Gen6's and from the promos look quite nice. Anyone else getting them?

    You must let us know how you like the elf outfits. I'm on strike against buying the elves, until I at least get Santa. =-)

    I picked that up on December 1, when it appeared on the weekly freebie page.

    LOL- no, not the Elf Bundle or the clothing. I know, it's confusing. The one I mentioned is the people.

    Charlotte

    I've not been online because of other priorities. Today at 3:35pm my 16 year old himalayan, Charlotte, was put to sleep and sent to Rainbow Bridge. She was my son's cat, but every day when you surfed in to this thread (starting a couple years ago) I can promise you she was on the pillow on the chair next to me as I typed on the laptop. Tonight is a very lonely night in that respect, the chair has been moved to fit underneath the table so it's not quite as glaring that Charlotte isn't there.

    She was suffering and I definitely was not going to put her through the misery she was feeling throughout the weekend and wait until Monday. She was purring today and taken outside to enjoy the 72 degree day- a gorgeous one with balmy breezes and sunshine. She even ate some grass like a real indoor / outdoor cat (she was totally indoor.) She had a can of tuna for lunch and I'm sure she was delighted to have genuine 100% fish breath.

    So today is honoring Charlotte and to all the other thread surfers who have aging pets, we all know the pain is worth the years of pleasure. I called my mom who is turning 87 in two days, and we talked about my cat who lived to be 23. I got Frisky in 3rd grade and she was still around many years outside of college! Wow, lived up to her name. Charlotte was so named because my son, then in 2nd grade, said, "Charlotte- because of Charlotte's Web. She's nice to everybody and everyone likes her."

    Well said. :)
    Have a great weekend, I'm going to at the computer off and on all weekend as it will go back to the 60's next week (I know, poor Florida, right?) so I'm going to get away from the computer off and on. Happy shopping, I haven't bought anything else since Gingersnap and Peppermint. Definitely wishlisted those grapes from last week, love the leaves.

    Sorry to hear. Our pets take a little of our heart with them when they leave us, but the love in our heart never diminishes.

    Thanks.
    I think that's why we have such big hearts as animal lovers :) To make room for more. Charlotte was from a rescue group (as are all my critters, or they're strays.)

    My heart goes out to you and your son on the loss of Charlotte. It's the toughest decision an animal lover can make, and takes a lot of courage and love to say goodbye before they suffer too much. 16 happy years will have given you some wonderful memories once the pain of the loss eases a little.

    I'm glad there was some joy in her final hours and the sun shone to warm her. I hope you are both doing OK.

    Thanks, we are doing okay.

    Thanks Anikad.

    Here's some from one year ago, at age 15. She was from an animal rescue group.

    Wow, what a cute fluff ball! You must miss her a lot. I'm sorry you had to go through that. New puppy must cheer you up.

    Thanks everyone.
    Do check your emails if you are PC+, it's $5 off $30 and doesn't say it excludes new releases. Haven't tried it yet. Use that in combination with one of your monthly codes and you could get $11 off your order. :) (Excludes gift cards of course)

    So it's getting harder and harder to find DO's that I don't own (and want) but I did find this (Darcy Outfit) at already 58% off- so it's marked down from $17.95 to $7.54. Added it to the cart with the set I've been drooling over, Contemporary Living. So Contemporary Living is 30% so it went $34.95 down to $24.47, but with the Darcy Outfit it went over $30 (7.54 + $24.47) so now Darcy is $6.36 and Contemporary Living is $20.65.

    Then used my PC+ code for Daz Originals for $6 off. I got the Darcy Outfit for 36 cents :) So both the Contemporary Living and Darcy Outfit together cost me $21.01. I like the Darcy Outfit because it is a family friendly dress.

    Although the newsletter said that deal was for PC+, the rotating banner doesn't indicate that. Plus it is NOT a one time use. If you want K4 stuff, you can get it 60% off then hit $30 and get another $5 off.

    The banner I see notes it is a PC+ discount only across the top.

    So far, the December sales haven't offered me anything I've been interested in since the worm! made by antfarm =-) . I haven't used my DAZ originals coupon yet, but used the other during Deviney's sale.

    Sorry 'bout that- it may have been scrolling but I don't think it was. I missed it. Thanks for clearing it up. :) It's a nice thing for PC+ but I'd rather it be for all the PC members. And of course, I had already bought $30 of K4 stuff yesterday.

    Okay, so out of the "best of 2014" how many do you NOT own? I am only lacking 3, and I don't want what I don't have. Not into Fiends or the Cat World stuff yet.

    Fiends Forever Starter Bundle, Cat World Regenesis HD Bundle, DMs Secret Chamber Bundle. (I have the chamber and character.)

    http://www.daz3d.com/2014-best-sellers

    I only have 2 punches. I bought some new stuff with the $5 off still offered- but they were no longer punchable. The only thing I would be interested in would be the gift certificate discount, but I'm not buying three more things for only a 5% discount. Will have to see what this week brings. The punches expire on Friday night, which is interesting. Has it been Sundays previously?
