I skipped "Dog Awaits Master" by accident.  I wanted to find out how much it cost to skip, just out of curiousity, but it didn't ask me if I wanted to skip, it just did it.  I don't even know how much gold it cost me.  At least I have quests again.  I don't mind the candy shop one so much, there's victorian staffordshire teapots and ball gowns in there so I make some money on the side.   I played Pensacola this morning and got a Daimyo's Reply out of it, that will probably sell for $20,000.  I'm upgrading the last building now.  I got a mac and cheese for an accomplishment so now I'm over 1000 energy.  Wish we had a food sale now, since I have so much money to spend.  A lot of those design things cost over 100,000, though and I don't know how many of those will be quests.

I'm a candy shop master!!!  Now I have to get master on something else.  I worked my butt off to make professional in the carnival so I could unlock the mini that has the verdant whatever in it.  It takes 14 glue.  I've played it a bunch of times and only got one verdant thing so I don't think all my hard work was worth it

I've got a long way to go until I become a candy shop Master.  Good for you Wendy!  I spent most of yesterday playing mini games with a "special object" so I could get enough money to buy a food that would give me a full charge of energy.  I've got one site that is almost 200 energy and my tank isn't all that big (about 750).  I was getting 2 Valentine's quests per day.  For the last 2 days it's only been one.  Hope I can get them all.  I still need the letter in a bottle and the box of chocolates.

I'm doing master at Delores' barn, too.  And it doesn't give you anything good, either, so that really sucks.  IIRC, I have to master it so I can open Underwater Scrolls or some such at the library? so I can play the mini game over in PawPaw.  I just finally got the laquer dipper from San Fran, I played it a ton of times, at least it had the Cherry Wood Darling in it, that sells for around 5000.  I also have to get to Level ?? (don't remember what I am) but it's the next level up so I figure I'll make it while I'm mastering Delores.  I think I"m almost ready to start the last level, only 20 something games to go.

I've had a few of those quests that require something from  the real expensive mini games and hd to try multiple times.  It's amazing how fast your resources run out.  Now I'm saving all my collectibles that are for resources and I'm selling stuff from the collections that give you money, and building materials.  I have everything built but not customized.  Well, I did make the hardware sture pink

I made Master at the candy shop, now i have to do it at Dolores' barn.  I used 72  of one item to try and get a quest item and didn't get it.  I have another at Philip's (and those arer almost impossible!).  I still need the love letter in the bottle to finish all four sets.  AND there's only 4 days left and I still need to complete 9 (I think) Valentine's quests.  

I do want to thank you all for all your tips.  I used a special item that doubled coins for 30 minutes and played the 2nd tailor 1 needle game.  I got over 100,000 coins!  And I still haven't hit Master there!
