Welcome to the ATM Birthday Bash!

To get us in the Birthday Party mood, all club members who enter will earn 10,000 club points as well as a chance to win a Happy Birthday Remix! All you have to do is post an image of your character in your best birthday party costume.

To post a picture of your current doll (it will stay that way and not change): type the word "DOLL" in caps with square brackets around it. Like this, except no spaces:
[ DOLL ]

Don't forget to leave your username as well.

This event starts August 13th when the Party treasure Chest is released and will run until August 22nd. (That means, just like with Marapets stuff you need to submit your entry on the 21st or earlier.) The Happy Birthday Remix winner will be chosen by a random online list generator on August 22nd. Points will also be awarded on August 22nd.

Good luck!

12/24 UPDATE - Dani's trivia extravanganza changed to 17:00 Mara time on Christmas Day.
from Dani's club letter: "I went and got myself really sick, I'm home recovering now, and am happy about that! So I have to change the time of the chat trivia to 17:00 MST. I know it is much later than I usually do it, but hopefully it is a good time for every one or most everyone. I am working on getting the prizes in trades, but the pet makers are in my gallery. Anything but the decadal potions and the enchanted plushies may be used as a prize. There is a lovely ice fairy chibs potion in there to be used as a prize too!

Do not forget 17:00 MST, there will be lots to win, and everyone who participates, even if they only try one or two questions guaranteed gets a prize. If you participate and do not win, simply offer on any ONE trade lot after it is done and I will accept it for your consolation prize!"

12/8 UPDATE - new yearly event - 12/8 - 12/25 Borak's Brewmas
Complete Borak's Brew quests between now and December 25th and if you win a Cooking Utensil item it will be from his seasonal Brewmas Prize List
Borak's Brewmas is a new annual Elfember event that will run from December 8th to December 25th each year. The prizes will retire at the end of the event but will come back (hopefully with with new prizes added) each year!

Good morning,

I hope you are enjoying Tweetly and all the free training. Wellesandra asked me to put in a Capsule Machine reminder. If you collect the items, the CM is scheduled to switch over to Elfember on the 7th, so be sure to buy/trade now for whatever you are missing.

Elfember should be lots of fun with the club Advent Calendar hosted by bluetaz2001, Christmas Stocking hosted by me, Secret Santa hosted by Dani, Guess the Christmas Carol hosted my me, and Dani's annual Christmas Trivia Extravaganza. And Mara always keeps us busy all month as well.
