You are out walking. It's late in the day, the sun has already kissed the world goodnight and slipped behind the treeline into it's nightly slumber, the final rays of warmth casting shaows across the woodsy path ahead of you. It has recently snowed, and there is a peaceful silence in the woods around you. Birds call out occasionally, singing to eachother a wish for holiday cheer. In the distance, you see bright lights and hear the barking of animals. Wondering what could possibly be uphead, you trudge through the white powdery snow until you see a sign in the snow, and find yourself in front of a small building that beckons you inside.
"For sale: all you can imagine" the sign on the front door reads. You step inside to the warm smell of freshly baked cookies and smile, because you know this will be the place you find your new friend.

Hello everyone! My name is Leafstorm, but you all can call me Leaf. I've been on CS for a long time, since '09. Christmas is my favorite season, and so every year to celebrate I host a design sale that helps me enjoy the season and helps spread the joy and happiness of the season to all those who participate. My sale has been met with pretty good reviews so I've kept up the tradition, trying to improve my designs each year and add new parts so that there's something for everyone!
This year there are over 40 designs to choose from, and these include many differnt species. Thanks to all the people who gave suggestions and took my survey! It makes a huge differance to get feedback from everyone so I can improve!
Please make sure to read all the rules and information before bidding on a design!



RULES:
- By buying a design from here, you agree to my design TOS found here.
- Give credit to the appropriate artist for the base, and me as the designer!
- Refrain from posting negative comments, and please do not get angry if you do not win. There will always be more.
- If you buy a character here, you receive all rights to the design. You are allowed to trade, sell, resell, gift etc the
design, but I do ask that you tell me when you do so I can keep track of where my characters end up, as well
as preventing accusations of character theft. You can read more about this in my TOS
- Please send your bid as a ready to accept trade, I will not accept anything unless you are autoing or you have won.
-You must separate your bids! if you are bidding on multiple designs, the trades need to be sent separately to avoid confusion. This is a new rule, but the feedback I got said that everyone would prefer this for clarity.
- Please make sure to carefully read the information on what I'm looking for.
- If you have a specific question, please pm me. If you think everyone would benefit from the question being answered,
you are free to post here. Just try to keep spam/etc to a minimum.



How to Bid:
> Send your bid as a ready to accept trade, or put the pets in a group
> Please separate your bids the best you can. It is so much easier to sort/rate bids this way. The
maximum number of designs 1 trade can be for is 1 design. you are encouraged to make multiple bids, and
there is no limit to how many you can bid on/win as long as you follow the above rules. Even if you have good
bid, I prefer trades for 1 single adopt.
> if you are bidding with a main list pet, you may send one bid for up to two designs!
> Please post here with the forms located on the top of each post so I am able to compare/find bids easily. (this benefits you! The
easier the bids are to keep track of, the more up to date information you will get!)
> I will be canceling bids that are outbid towards the end as we go, but for the first few days all bids will be listed
in the following post. You are free to edit/cancel/etc your bid at any time.
