Hello there, and welcome to

Snowflake Blossoms, the shop that is full of little trouble making emotes. I am sure that your are probably wondering why an emotes shop, and not an art shop, or a banner shop. Well, to tell you the truth I've tried. First it was a banner shop. That was a complete failure! So then I moved onto art. I thought; Art shouldn't be that hard to make.. Oh how wrong I was. So then I tried making image maps. That shop went pretty well, but then something went wrong with the host I was using.

So now here I am making the emotes. At first I was just experimenting, and seeing if I could make emotes at all. And it turned out that I can! That made me very happy. But I couldn't open up a shop just yet. I needed to see if people actually liked my emotes. At the time I was in Odango's giveaway, a place where I made lots of friends. To help out the giveaway, I decided to give away some of my emotes as prizes on certain pages. So it turned out that people really liked my emotes. After that I didn't really do much work with the emotes. School started and I just didn't have time anymore! Now that summer started again, I once again started giving away emotes. This time it was in a guild. Once again I was giving away the emotes for free. But then Mothie came along. I made her a freebie but she still wanted more. She asked me if I had a shop, and of course at the time I didn't. She suggested that since I like making emotes, why not sell them too? So that is how this shop came to be.

This is not my very first shop, but it is my very first emote shop, so please bear with me. I am pretty new at this kind of stuff to I ask of you very nicely, please be patient with me. If you notice any errors; such as spelling mistakes or something that is out of order, feel free to point it out. I do not bite, don't worry. Comments and suggestions are always welcome too.

So welcome to Snowflake Blossoms! Look around and see if there is anything you like.
But make sure that you read the rules first!

Now that you have gone through the basic things, time to see what Snowflake Blossoms really has to offer. From ordinary to extraodinary emotes, holiday and custom emotes. Make sure you read The Six Step Process before you make any orders. Notice that the prices on the emotes vary. This is due to the various ranges of difficulty on each emote.

Labels
In order from left to right.
Wink-200g | Suspicious-250g | Blink-200g | Ha- Ha-250g | Speechless-300g

Labels
In order from left to right.
Shocked-450g | Threat-400g | Squee-400g | Irritated-400g | Happy Dance-450g

• • • • E x t r a o r d i n a r y E m o t e s

Don't like our emotes? Don't worry! We have more! The following emotes, (though so far few) are our choice of Extraordinary emotes.

Labels
In order from left to right.
Camera-600g | Balloon-500g | Icecream-550g

Choices

In the emotes above, there are certain items. Ice cream, camera balloon ect.. Here is the section where you can choose the colors for all of the items. In your order from just put the color or the number of the one you want. If you would like a color that is not displayed here, in the order form, simply put "other" and name your color. It would be very appreciated if you gave me the color code. Example #2e8b57. That way, there will be no confusion as to which color you want.

Here you will find all of the Holiday Emotes . These Emotes will be related to all sorts of Holidays. For example Christmas or Valentines day. So far we do not have any Holiday Emotes, but there will soon be some! Even though these are Holiday Emotes, you will be able to purchase them all year long, but if you are not purchasing the Holiday emote on the actual holiday, it will cost you an extra 100g.

I will add the Holiday Emotes when the Holidays come. >w<

• • • • C u s t o m E m o t e s

Still don't like any of our emotes? None catch your eye yet? Well then this is your last chance. The custom emotes are emotes that you make up yourself. Since these emotes are not yet made they will cost you extra. Why? You ask. Simple. Since I have never made this kind of emote yet, it will take more time, therefore you will have to pay more for it.

Please be aware that some emotes that you might make up, I might not be able to do. This is just warning, so please do not be positive that i will be able to make every singe emote that you have prepared for me!

Price
Since these will be unique emotes that you make up yourself, the price (as I said before) will be higher.

All custom emotes will cost 500g+.
I will decide the price after your post your order form.

Before you order, read the following. It will answer any questions and is very important. Included, is the Six Step Process which is key to ordering. It will explain the steps to follow when ordering and receiving the finished emote. Read the The Six Step Process carefully.

The 6 Step Process

[

]

Find the emote/s of your choice and write down the label/s.

[

]

Fill out the order form. Make sure there are no mistakes and everything is filled out.

[

]

Post the order form in the thread.

[

]

When I accept your order, proceed to the next step.

[

]

Send a trade to Snowflake Blossoms naming it "Emote Payment" with the correct amount of gold. Failing to name the trade will cause confusion. I will request an offer and you must accept the trade. I will not start working on the emote until you accept. Once I finish I will accept my self.

[

]

Wait for me to finnish your emote. Do not bother me with PMs. I have a life and making emotes is not my first priority.

[

]

When I finish the emote I will accept the trade and send you the completed emote.

• • • • P a y m e n t

When Ordering please use only one form of payment.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Gold- The most desired form of payment is Gold. It is very simple to figure out how much gold you owe us. Since most people prefer to pay with gold, you can find the price underneath each row of emotes, beside the label.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Tickets- I don't really like tickets, but I know that some people like to pay using them. Because of this, I still have an option to pay with tickets but the prices of tickets are rather high. To get the price of tickets, type the amount of gold in a calculator and divide by 0.75 which is 75% of the gold price. I will not do this for you so don't bother trying to ask. It is pretty simple and it is laid right in front of you on how to do it.

User Image

Some Items- The very last payment option is items. But please be aware that when it comes to items, I tend to get very picky! If you are planning to pay with an item/s, please ask me if the item/s you are paying with is okay. Most of the time I will refuse your item, so please be prepared for that. No, means no. So when I give you my answer, please do not go and try change my mind. When you are paying in items the item/s must be worth equal or greater value of the emotes.

Requirements
In order to get your oder from accepted here is the things that you need to do and watch out for.

[1.]» When you are giving me the avatar that you would like me to use, make sure that it is not wearing anything except panties from the chin down.
[2.]» Make sure that there are not items covering the face. If there is something that I cannot work with, I will remove it, so please do not be surprised when you get your emote and something is not there.
[3.]» When you are posting the avatar in the form make sure that it is not a link from your inventory. Simply go to tektek and make the avatar there. Make sure that when you are making it, you do not add any eyes or mouth to the avatar.

Make sure that you follow these simple rules when ordering.

Usually, during special holidays or events, we have Special Offers. Make sure you check back here regularly because they don't last forever. Special offers can mean anything! Discounts, free emotes and so much more! Every time we do a Special Offer we give you information about it here. For instance, a special offer can be things such as: Buy 5 emotes, get one free. Of course, we may have to go into a little more detail than that!

NONE

None At the Moment T _ T

• • • • F r e q u e n t l y A s k e d Q u e s t i o n s

[Q:]Can I get a free emote?
[A:]No, unless there is some kind of special event where you can win it for free. Sometimes I will randomly give away emotes to regulars of the thread and some of my good friends. ^^;

[Q:]Can I get a discount if I stay and chat?
[A:]Yes. At times I will give discounts to those who stay and chat. But the important thing is that you cannot ask to get a discount. If I think that you deserve one, you will get it in the form of a coupon.

[Q:]i'm rly poor and i dont hav ny goldz for emotez and im questing, can i plz get an emot for free???
[A:]First of all, that is considered Chat Speak and it is not allowed in my thread. Do not even bother me with those kinds of question! In my world that is call begging. Take it somewhere else! D<

[Q:]What if my avatar has long hair?
[A:]If your avatar has long hair, it will be cut short.

[Q:]Can I get a custom emote?
[A:]Yes, but it will cost you more gold than an ordinary emote.

[Q:]Do you also make emotes of avatar edits?
[A:]Of course I do. But you need to have permission from the creator of the edits that it would be okay if the edit is made into an emote.

[Q:]I wanna be a mod!!!
[A:]At the moment I do not need any moderators for the shop. When I will be looking for some, there will be a form to fill out.

[Q:]I have a suggestion.. Should I post it in the thread?
[A:]Feel free to give any comments or suggestions about the shop. And yes you may post them in the thread, or if you do not want others to see, PMs are okay for suggestions.

[Q:]Do you do an art/graphic trade type of thing?
[A:]Sometimes. It all depends on what you are offering. If I do not like it, then no. Please do no try and change my mind.

[Q:]Can I pay with something other than gold?
[A:]Yes, I will accept tickets and some items. Please check the How to Order post for more details.

[Q:]Can I host a contest?
[A:]Yes, as long as you supply the prizes, and we agree on what type of contest is is going to be!

[Q:]If I change my mind about the emote will you refund my gold?
[A:]Yes, as long as I have not completed the emote yet.

[Q:]Do you do something like, if I give you the money for an emote, my friend can use that money to buy an emote?
[A:]I'll be making gift cards later on, but I'm not doing it yet. When I have the shop up and running we may start using them.

[Q:]What if my question is not up here?
[A:]If you have a question, PM Snowflake Blossoms our charity mule.

Everyone loves contests, its the one thing in usually any thread gives you gold, items or free graphics. Well, we will have some contests here. Each contest will have rules so make sure you read them before you try and participate. At this time we have only one contest, but don't worry, there are more to come!

Important: I have noticed that people are doing the contests just because it is easy gold. They come, do a contest and leave without even pausing to bump or say hello. I really hate when people do that. From now on, if you would like to participate in a contest please bump 5 times at least or stay and chat for a while. This way it will be more fair.
This does not apply to my friends whom I know and trust will at least stay for a little while.

Riddles

Riddle: How many squares can you find on a regular checkerboard?
Answer:???
Prize: 2 Ordinary Emotes.
Winner:No one

Riddle: 1. How do you put an elephant in a refrigerator?
2. How do you put an girafe in a refrigerator?

You must answer all 4 questions correctly in order to win.
Answer: 1. ???
2. ???
3. ???
4. ???
Prize: Our choice of an item from your wish list worth up to 2k.

Winner:No one

If you have an answer to a riddle, please PM it to Snowflake Blossoms. Remember that you can only get the prize for one riddle. So please do not submit answers for all of them and expect to get that many prizes.

If you like the emotes, then why not help spread the word about them?
Here are a few banners to choose from.

If you have a shop that you would like to be a advertised, please Pm Kat with the banner and the code. We want to keep it all neat, so we prefer the banners be 88x31. Banners that are not this size will be kept in the shop journal.
