Happy Thanksgiving!

I do hope everyone is enjoying their holiday with friends and family abound. Though many of us may not have such company, please be aware, you have not only friends here with myself but with our many members who will so happily look to you and remind you that we work together!
In saying this, I bring a personally beloved design of mine to the community, called the Sleepytime Tiger I offer them up with a recently infamous gimmick; a Flaffle!

What is a Flaffle?
Happy you asked! A Flaffle is the odd conjunction of a Flatsale and a Raffle, thus meaning everyone can enter in for a chance to win without breaking the bank! When you enter in with the appropriate form, we mark your name down and in a set period of time, will roll for a winner and privately contact them!
These raffles are extremely common in current times are rising more and more in popularity, why not try it out here and see how things go?

The raffle portion of the sale will last 25hrs and closes at 6.PM EST the following day; Results will be unveiled later in the night

◊
You will be expected to pay within 24.hrs of winning; Failure will result in your roll being invalidated

◊

With many people getting ready for fall in some way, how about you all head out to have some pumpkin fun? From growing and gathering to painting and carving or even baking, there's all kinds of ways to enjoy this gourd! If classic pumpkins don't exist on the planet your Poffin calls home, show us what the closest alien thing is!

As long as at least one pumpkin-like plant/gourd is featured in some way, your Poffin is free to celebrate in whatever way they like!
