Hi my sweet pen friends!

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend. I know I am! For today's Friday Faves feature, I'll be deviating a bit from our regularly scheduled stationery program to share more of a "lifestyle" fave. I'm pretty sure you're gonna love it!

Anyone else out there love Animal Crossing?

*uproar of cheering across the interwebs*

Anyone else out there either (a) missed out on or had no idea that there was a special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch or (b) already had a Switch and couldn't really justify buying the AC one?

*hands shoot up with despair and regret*

Okay, maybe it was just me, but I didn't really know too much about Animal Crossing until the buzz around the New Horizons release. *gasp* I know, I'm super late to the party! When I did get on the amazing AC train, every beautiful limited edition Animal Crossing Switch was sold out. Not to mention, I already have a Switch. And not really having the means or know-how to order a set of Animal Crossing JoyCons at the very least from Japan, I was at a dead-end.

​Until... *drum roll*

I found these beautiful AC-inspired JoyCon Shells on Etsy! Now, the shells I ended up ordering have the matching-colored backs, but if you want to remain true to the original, they have these AC-inspired JoyCon Shells with the White Backs. I'd also recommend perusing the rest of The Game Changers Etsy Shop to see if anything else catches your eye.
Now, this DIY JoyCon shell replacement is certainly not for the faint of heart. In all honesty, I wouldn't be sitting here sharing this with you if it weren't for my amazing hubby and his ability to take on all things tech. A few things to note if you do decide to take on this DIY yourself:
​
  • Watch the video that the shop refers to on the card they ship with your order.
  • My hubby tossed the screwdrivers that the shop included and called them garbage. Haha, his words not mine. In all seriousness though, to prevent stripping of the screws, you can order something like this.
  • He also ordered a set of Precision Anti-Static ESD Tweezers to handle the cables.

OR if you want to save yourself the hassle, their shop offers the JoyCons with the AC-inspired shells already on them which I probably would have opted for if it weren't for my tech-savvy hubby. (:

So, if you've been lamenting over what might have been a missed opportunity to have a set of your very own dreamy, pastel-colored Animal Crossing JoyCons like I was, this may be the solution for you! (:

Are you feeling up to taking on this DIY? Let me know in the comments below!
