My goodness...

..I mean, Kazootles!

What a great way to document a year of growth and show all the different and special ways people have brought their interpretations of the cuddly, cute and quack-tacular dino duck. It may be your star day today, but you gave us a gift too!

D'aww. *Hugs* Thanks, Toroth. Truly, a Star Day would be nothing without those around us that make reaching it year-after-year worthwhile. One might thinking reaching my age would mean a Star Day would become just another day. However, in more ways than one, I can proudly say its the people in my life now that make celebrating this Star Day in particular the best one ever!

Thanks, Lain. *Hugs back* It's super-duper appreciated and I'm glad you could be a part of it.

Haha, it's so cool seeing how many people have drawn ya since the last one! :3 I'm glad I got to contribute in multiple ways, but it's neat seeing some of these that I might not have noticed before! I'm glad you didn't mind including some of the ones I did for ya too, bein' good with all of Yosh's sides and ways of life and the different sorts of good times he's had is an awesome thing! :3 I definitely like seeing you put together collages like this, it makes me wanna try one too even though there might not be much to it, or not as much variety, I dunno, but it's super neat seein'! :D Good times and a happy happy Star Day! I wonder what it'll be like next year. X3

Collages are a lot of fun as, for me, they remind me of how glad I am that I took that brave, first step to join FA to find others out there who, like me, simply desired to be understood and appreciated for who they were on the inside.

Looking back on past collages, it is easy to see just how much friends like you have changed me for the better. Before, Yosh was timid and afraid of being all he could be. Of course, this meant he never wanted to be without his trusty shorts and vest. Then, by year 2, Yosh had gotten more confident with who he was and, as such, started waddling about, at times, in nothing more than his diapers.

Now, but six months since the last collage, Yosh has finally gained the confidence to reveal himself to the world for who and what he is. Yippeee!

If you should ever do a collage, I know you, too, will have lots of fun reflecting on how much you have grown along with Oxnard, Nishi, Fuxie, and all their pals. We both have come a long way and have accomplished a lot and, because of this, I know next year is going to be even better! :)

Aaaah! Just saw this because of your FB comment. This is great, Yosh! It's really nice of you to put all of this art together :) Really represents the true meaning and intentions of your buddies here on FA :3

Hurray! I'm glad you enjoyed it. As I will say forever-and-ever, Yosh wouldn't be Yosh if you hadn't initially put your creative touch to him. From your vision I went on to befriend more-and-more folks who, through their artistic thoughts and interpreations, made the lil' dino ducky into who and what he is today. Truly, a magical experience indeed. :)
