AJ Update: Spring Cottage Update And Grahams Workshop Picture Tutorial!

Hey jammers! graciepopstar91 here with some awesome news! Yesterday was update-day on Animal Jam! Heres the Jamaa Journal.


As you can see, a new den is out! Its called Spring Cottage. Its so beautiful! There is lots of outdoor space! Its in the Diamond Shop (located in Jamaa Township) and is selling for 7 diamonds. Ill probably do a walk through of the den later in the week or next week. Now for the second page!


As you can see, the seasonal adventure, Grahams Workshop, is back! If you haven't been on this adventure before, heres a quick picture tutorial on how to play it! 


In this adventure, you have to use tools (shown above) to pan for gold and sliver, excavate for stone and gemstone, etc! You get these items so you can redeem them for den items and clothing items! 


EXCAVATE: To excavate for stone, and gemstone, simply tap the coil looking rocks with a hammer, until all of the coal is gone, and you can see either gemstone, or stone. The difference between the two stones is that, gemstone is blue, and stone is gray.


PAN: To pan, swipe your mouse back and forth until you can see either gold or sliver. 


BAMBOO COLLECTING: To collect bamboo, double click each piece of bamboo until your basket is full. Dont worry! You wont have to click through a whole forest of bamboo. Just a few pieces and then some bamboo will start falling from the sky. 


WOOD GATHERING: To gather wood, hold down your mouse on a piece of wood and drag it into the wheel barrel. Keep doing this until all of your wood pieces are in your wheel barrel. 


STRAW HARVESTING: To harvest straw, simply slide your mouse back and forth until the straw is gone. 

Okay! Now back to the Jamaa Journal!


On the left side of this page, it says how, you can now have 200 buddies! On the right side of this page, it says how theres a new Rock Star Outfit! Today, two Rock Star Outfit pieces are out in the Diamond Shop! Im sure more will come this week. You can find the Rock Star Outfit pieces on the table in the Diamond Shop shown below. 


Now for the 4th page!


On the left of this page, it says how the Cruise Ship Party is back! I haven't been to it this year though. If you haven't been to this party before, its pretty fun! They have a little shop where you can buy a smoothie machine (and they have a smoothie machine next to it that you can use while your at the party), there is also a pool and a slide so you can slide into the pool! Anyways, on the right side of the page, it says how whenever you dance, your pet will dance with you! And when you sleep, play, hop, sit, your pet will do the same! When your pet plays, it will have its own unique way of playing! Like a pet Lemur will play a guitar! 
Now for the 5th page!


On the left side of this page, it says how Hyenas are returning to Jamaa! My guess is that Hyenas will probably return in 2-4 or 6 weeks. On the right side of this page, it says how the Sumer Carnival is returning soon!

Im really sorry this was a super long post!

Heres todays Bible verse!

Zechariah 14:9 

And the LORD will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one LORD-his name alone will be worshiped.

Remember, God made YOU!

Old Poll, New Poll, And Upcoming Party!

Hey jammers! graciepopstar91 here with the old poll and the new poll! The old poll was called, "Whats your favorite game on Animal Jam?".


As you can see, Falling Phantoms got 1 vote, Gem Breaker got 1 vote, Pill Bugs got 0 votes, Eat Em' Up got 0 votes, and the winner, Best Dressed got 3 votes! In a few days, I will start a post series on how to play the loosing games for this poll! Anyways, heres the new poll! Its called
"Do you enjoy reading AJFC?".


The answers are, I rather not say, No I'd enjoy seeing more exciting things in posts, I guess, and Yes. You have 9 days left to vote!
I think this poll will be a good way to improve AJFC! 

Anyways, for the second part of this post I have some exciting news! On June 15th, AJFC will be 1 year old! So that defiantly calls for a party! I know June 15th is kinda far away but its better to plan early! Heres the party info!

Party info:

Location: Graciepopstar91's den on Animal Jam

Date: June 15th 2016 (6-15-16 which is a Wednesday)

Time: 7 PM PST Pacific standard time such as California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington state 
10 PM EST Eastern standard time such as Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and New York 
8 PM MST Mountain standard time such as Arizona (It will be 7 PM for Arizona because they don't do daylight saving time.), New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho 9 PM CST Central standard time such as Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kansas 4 AM UK time 4 PM HST Hawaii standard Time such as Honolulu, and Hilo 

What we will do at the party: Play mini-games, hangout, and have a little devotional about being yourself.

Reason for celebration: June 15th is AJFC's birthday!

People who can come to the party: Everyone! Young or old, non-member on Animal Jam or member, Christian or non-Christian, etc! Don't forget to invite all your buddies!

Put the party day on your calendar! Also, if you are in Asia, Europe, China, etc please look up your time zone online. Asia has many different time zones so its hard to do all of them. Sorry! But if you need any help finding a website please comment below and follow the commenting rules. 

Heres todays Bible verse!

Matthew 5:13

You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor?...

In this Bible verse God isn't talking about salt you use to season food. God is talking about us being witnesses to spread the good news about God. But if you aren't following God and really trusting and telling people about Him, you will be the salt that lost its flavor. Meaning that you aren't doing what God called you to do, to be telling people about God. 

I hope you understand what this means!

Remember, God made YOU!

Isaiah 40:28 

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

Remember, God made YOU!

Time To Get Your Hands Dirty!

Hey jammers! graciepopstar91 here! Todays I have an unusual topic, regrowing veggies! Yup! Regrowing veggies! My mom recently discovered how you can regrow tomatoes and lettuce! Oh yes, and after I tell you about regrowing these veggies, I have a surprise! Up first is tomatoes!

What you will need to regrow tomatoes:

  1. A medium sized planter
  2. Organic soil
  3. Three somewhat thick slices of Roma tomatoes 
  4. About 4-5 tablespoons of water
Get your planter and fill with soil until theres abut 4 inches of the planter unfilled. Lay your 3 slices of tomato on top of the soil, then, put a thin layer of soil onto of the tomatoes. When your done, sprinkle the water on your plant. In about 1 and 1/2 to 2 weeks, the seeds should sprout!

Im not exactly sure how long it takes for the little sprouts to become full grown tomato plants, I'll keep you all posted when the sprouts become tomato plants! 
Moving onto the lettuce! 

What you will need to regrow lettuce:

  1. A small planter
  2. 1 and 1/2 to 2 inches of water
  3. 4 inches of the bottom of a stalk of lettuce


In the small planter, add your water, then put in the lettuce, and change out the water daily. Thats all there is to it! Now, my mom made a mistake. We thought you would get a whole stalk of lettuce in a few weeks but it turns out that you should use the lettuce in about 12 days. It will be small so its best to use the lettuce for a sandwich. Ours got brown spots and was bitter. So you cant let it go weeks without using it. Heres what ours looked like. 


Lesson learned! 
Alright! Now its time for my surprise! Im going to teach you guys how to make soil! (Well compost) Compost is decayed organic food waste such as, organic used coffee grounds, organic banana peels, and even organic animal crackers, and unbleached coffee filters! You use compost for plants. You could even use this for regrowing the tomatoes like I showed you! Heres how you make it.

Compost soil:



  1. Organic food waste
  2. Unbleached coffee filters 
  3. Water (if needed) 
  4. Plastic baggie 
  5. Drinking straw
In your plastic baggie, put in your food waste. Whatever food waste you have, tear or cut it into small bits. Then tear up 2-3 coffee filters, and add it to the food waste. If your compost seems too dry add only a SMALL amount of water. To keep your compost from not smelling, in the corner of your baggie put in a drinking straw and see the bag with the straw sticking out only an inch or so. Now, you don't need to add all of the food waste at once. One day you could put in a banana peel, the next you could put in egg shells, etc! You can basically put any food waste in the compost. But don't add any meat or dairy. Im not sure how long it takes, but the food will somehow turn into dirt! God is so amazing! Some people may ask, can you eat it? The answer is no. It probably would give you a stomach ache!

Have fun with these projects! 

Heres todays Bible verse!

Hebrews 11:6 

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

Remember, God made YOU!
