I just published my first set as a Featured Artist...  I still can't believe I have a shiney Gold badge!!  I'm still amazed at the fact that a little over a year ago I was just stepping into this mess called meshing!  And, now, I'm addicted AND a Featured Artist here on TSR...  It's simply amazing! 

When I stumbled upon TSR YEARS ago.. and found out that there were objects that you could download and play with in the game... I was awed that there were people that could do this - make these fantastic objects -  AND.. that most of them shared their stuff freely..  I admit I refused to pay for a subscription for a LONG time...   and then I broke down and paid for a 3 month subscription!! LOL   I simply HAD to have CycloneSue's creations... yes, it was her fault!!! :D   Then, as I explored the site more and more... I found Cashcraft, and Riccinumbers... Angela...  Shakeshaft...  ShinkoKCR...  ohhh the list is endless.....  and so were my download lists!!!  And, I dreamed of someday creating my own objects... and I must admit I secretly wished to be a Featured Artist... :D (no kidding)  Then... I started reading tutorials and making paintings for the game...  One day I sent a PMs to Ricci  and Sue asking for help for something...  and the rest is history...  Sue and Cath dragged me kicking and screaming thru meshing and mapping...  texturing and shading...  baking...  (Simman_123) had a huge hand in that!!  Angela dragged me thru transparencies...  FA's and SA's alike answered my questions patiently and with perfect clarity...  And... here I am... still completely amazed and utterly honored to have been chosen to be a Featured Artist for TSR!!!

I want to thank Sue and Cath, Angela and Renate, Gea Kris Ana on and on and on!!  For everything... the patience, the kindness...  and A HUGE thanks to Thomas too...  and the rest of the hard working staff at TSR for allowing me to share my creations here!!!

HUGS to you all!!

I am SO very honored!!  I need to thank CycloneSue and Riccinumbers for ALL they've taught me...  and of course Angela, Renate, Gosik, and several others that were always available for questions, and helped me learn to create!!!

Well...  I just watched my son drive off for his first night of Firefighter training... 

 It seems like yesterday I was holding this little squalling bundle in my arms..  I swear, I just put him down for a minute, turned around, and when I looked back.....  where did 18 years go??  18 years? They flew by in the blink of an eye...  and there, in place of my little blue eyed, soft, sweet angel stands a 6'3" tall 18 year old man...  I used to look down at him in my arms... now, I have to crane my neck to look UP at him!   I can see so clearly his first attempt to crawl...  and then,, he was standing at the coffee table, he let go, and took those first few tentative steps towards me...  all smiley and drooling...  his first word... all mumbled...  but pointing at me -  mommy.  His first day of kindergarten...  bravely walking up the steps of the bus, turning around, smiling and saying "bye Mom!"  Lord how I cried after that bus drove off!!

From a squalling 21" long, 6# 12oz bundle... to a 6'3" 18 year old man.  18!!!  I'd give almost anything to have my little bundle back!!  But, I have the memories!!   And, now he's found his "calling" in life...  to help people in some of the darkest moments of their lives...  A firefighter! Wow!  I'm so proud of this kid!!  So very very proud!!

And now... while he's gone... I'm going to go cry for a while!! Ohhh they'll be happy, proud tears...  but... well ... Nostalgia!

This is now UPDATED! Thank you.

It was brought to my attention... a huge shout out and Thanks to ziggy... that for some reason the barware isn't showing up right in the game... I am working on another version... with the massive help of Gosik and Simonetta!! ...   that will hopefully work right and as I am re-meshing it, I have lowered the poly count by quite a bit!!  Please hang on while I get this fixed!  I will upload/update as soon as possible!! 

Thank you for your patience!!

First... let me thank TSR and the very talented artists that deemed my creations worthy of receiving the title of SA! WOW! 

When I received the invitation, I was quite frankly... stunned!  I even had to ask Gea if it was for real!! lol When she assured me it was....  well, I was literally dancing for joy!  When I started creating for Sims 3, it was a secret dream to become good enough to earn this shiny badge!  But, I thought it would 1) Never happen, as there are so many very talented artists here... or 2) Take years to come true!!  Imagine my surprise, when after only a  couple months...  there it is!!  My shiny new badge!  I'm am so very honored by this...  I still can't quite believe it!!  But, there it is, under my avatar!  My shiny silver SA badge of ... to me... honor!! 

Thank you to all the fine members here that have also deemed my creations worthy of downloading!!  Bless you!

To Cyclonesue and Riccinumber -  Sue and Cath -  a HUGE shout of appreciation for your time and patience!  I would never be here if not for your tutorials and your encouragment and support!!  Ohhh.. this does not let you off the hook... not at all! lol  I'll still be bugging you about something... believe it!!  To Angela, Renate, and Pinecat...  a massive thank you goes out to you also...  for your patience and help with making glass actually look like glass in-game!! :D  HUGS   To all the other FA's and SA's that have patiently answered my million questions, and so graciously gave of their time, and experience...  thank you!!! 

Okay.. I could go on and on with this!  LOL  One last thank you... to Thomas, Johan, and Micke (spelling?) and the rest of the TSR staff,   a big thank you for creating this site and allowing people like me to create and share with other simaholics!

Suffice it to say.... I am one VERY happy and VERY honored person!!  Thank you!  And, I hope you continue to enjoy my creations...  I will continue to learn and improve (I hope) and make things to improve you Sims lives!! At least a little! ;)
