Just a quickie blog post to say a HUGE thank you to all my downloaders! Just a minute ago I reached 750,000 downloads!! Incredible!! And a milestone i never thought possible when i began to recolor back in October 2008. Gee it hasnt been that long - just 5 months or so! 3/4 of a million!! WOW! WOW! WOW!

None of it would be possible without all of you who download! AGAIN THANK YOU!!!!! You inspire me to keep creating! And even with SIMS 3 coming soon - i dont intend to stop creating for Sims2 - gee I just am getting started!

This just totally made my day!! <* I am blushing and grinning ear to ear like a fool ..LOL*>

Big cyber hugs and high fives to all......

On the horizon are 2 new livingroom sets by Angelamveliza (Her Safari livingrm and her Modern Splendor set) and A Jope bedroom 9 recolor. I am uploading those today - hopefully they will get approved quickly! I have some beddings ( from almost 3 weeks back that kept getting rejected) to put into sets for upload. I have some half finsihed sets ( room sets) I would like to finish this weekend and upload. I downloaded a skad of Sim_man123 meshes and I am just itching to recolor some of those!! I have so MANY ideas in my head and not enough time to get it all created!!

Hurray! I have a nice long weekend ( that will surely go too fast for my liking!) to accomplish all the recoloring stuff i aspire to do.. as well as all teh RL stuff I NEED to get done- such as clean the inside of my van  (what a wreck), clean the dickens out of my house and also my back yard!! Go thru and get clothes for donations ( as my kids all have way too many clothes they dont wear and are taking up space) - me too - i am guilty of the same and need to get donation bags together.

its sunny and mild this weekend here - so yipee! Great weather for outdoor work!

As some of you may have noticed lately with my creations - i havent had as much coming out . Part of this is because Girls from Mars ( submissions manager) was away for two weeks so i had a tonne of creations sitting..sitting..sitting in Pending for most of the time ( well a few got published and quite a few got rejected - then i re-submitted only to get them rejected again etc etc) Now that Girls form mars is back I have 46 items coming out this week FINALLY! Basically 3 bedroom sets.. plus two bedding sets..

Another reason for the delay is also from the fact that i have moved onto more difficult meshes and it takes time to recolor these. Example: the past 48 hours I spent on two different Dining room meshes - one from Jope at Simply Styling ..another from OM at Avalon. Both are terrific meshes and my recolors would of been fantastic ( not trying to toot my own horn but i thought the colors and textures i used were brilliant) I wont be able to tell you if they really WERE fantastic as neither the meshes nor my recolors show in my game!!! ARRGH. Neither website said i needed any expansion for these specific meshes so i assumed they are base game friendly. I have no clue as to why they wont show in game... as the jope dining #6 I did have the table and sideboard show up but no chairs or anything else! So these have now become scrap and I know not to use these meshes again. All that time wasted.

So please be patient with me okay... i  have tried in the past to have something new come out at least every other day.. but life doesnt always go according to my will ..LOL

So starting tomorrow 2 sets will be out and then on Friday and I am getting busy today getting some new stuff created and submitted so that throughout the weekend stuff may be available. I also have a new house i need to submit. I have a totally full week work wise with everything crammed into two days now as Friday is Good Friday. Look for a SPECIAL easter blog posting from me this weekend too!

As for my blogs I want to spice them up and make them interesting so i am going to take a poll asking some questions on what people would like to read about from me. I am attempting to make my page interesting and will also be putting some albums up in my photo gallery!

Have a terrific Wednesday people- here in SW Ontario it SNOWED ( yes you read that correctly) the other day and its like january out there right now - which is a reall piss off!! it is supposed to melt and I hope soon as spring had already sprung ! But we always have to get that one last snow fall...of course right after i had packed most of my familys winter gear away!!Its very depressing to say the least!!

Peace out!

Well the scores are in and i have decided to end this poll. It was interesting to see the vast variety in belief systems here on TSR!!But that is one of the reasons I love TSR .. for the variety in people ( and also creations for Sims!!) TSR is a great place and I am very comfy here- its my first stop when ever I log onto cyberspace! As for myself i am a Christian.. born again and lovin Jesus .. but by all means i love and respect all people. I was surprised by the amount of Christians that viewed my poll!! So here are the results.. thanks to all who took part! I will soon post a new poll .. as soon as i figure out what i would like to ask! LOL

Question: What are your spiritual beliefs?

Morning all- its a sunny plus 7 in SW Ontario this morning! Hoping it will warm up this afternoon. Sitting here in my robe drinking my coffee I thought i would post an update before i begin to get ready for my day ( which is a relatively busy one).

I wanted everyone to know that because of the Submissions manager being away on vacation.. i still have 13 items pending approval. Some beddings and 3 heart bed recolors that have been hanging around for almost 2 weeks now. Finally my two latest Starter houses were approved this morn - they come out on the 4th. I have had to re-submit quite a few items that were rejected . I never get things rejected but I guess I am not the only one getting things rejected for odd reasons. Obviously the person covering for the submissions manager is overwhelmed so i will just try to be patient and i guess downloaders must be also. I have completed 3 new bedroom sets- one is another Jope bedroom #8 recolor ( this new one is with spring in mind) and also 2 recolors of Angelamveliza's Colonial bedroom. Late last night I began working on AMV's  Heavenly Teen room set- so far everything looks pretty good :)  I also had a really good idea for  myself re: recolors. I really enjoying doing whole sets but i have decided to make my "own sets" so to speak - using different things from different creators to make an overal pacakge. it may require downloaders to have to get a bunch of different mesh files - for that Im sorry. With the slow submission approval rate please dont expect these new bedroom sets for at least another week - hmm maybe longer if the manager ( Girl from mars) doesnt return soon. I just didnt bother uploading the sets yet - I will most likely tonight but havent stressed out about it as they wouldnt get approved right away anyhow. The down side is that the longer it takes the more i have to upload as I create more.. then it becomes a long process of hours and hours to upload all the sets  for me LOL.

REAL LIFE is still busy - my youngest Mia's 4 month old kitty ( her name is Phoebe) was stepped on Sunday night. My hubby ( who walks with a cane and has trouble with stairs) was walking down the stairs about 10 pm sunday night and puss n boots was coming UP the stairs and decided to scuttle under his feet. well Paul stepped on her even though he tried to avoid doing so- without throwing himslef down an entire flight of stairs! The result: a seriously injured kitty who had to be rushed to EMERG. originally the vets thought she had internal bleeding etc and tried to milk $800 for a one night ICU stay for kitty or they were just going to send her home if I didnt pay - even though she was injured and they werent sure of all her injuries! After I lost my mind on them ( using foul language) - its a long story okay- they let her stay and only charged me $200. ( Good thing i am not afraid to freak out at injustice) She ended up having a dislocated jaw - and after a long night of prayer from me.. she returned home Monday doing well. Presently she is doing great - eating soft cat food, playing etc and is down in her dosage of pain meds. But all week thats what i have been doing - besides all the rest of my busy busy life- I have been Florence Nightengale to my teeny kitty ( whom I adore). So creating has been a slower process - only after 10 pm or so at night- but i have still been getting thinsg done! i really want to try my hand at meshing - and one of these days i will get around to it. Since i am so dang stubborn I am still using MS Paint to recolor LOL. Havent touched the trial version of paint shop pro I downloaded in weeks. And of course i havent tried clothing again. Maybe someday - who knows!? There is never enough time in life.. as I have also been trying to spend more time with my family at night also. And the weather is nicer so i have had the doggie out more...

So look for my new sets shortly.. and my starter houses. OH - I almost forgot - i built two new houses too! Havent uploaded thsoe either - and also I have a bunch of build items i have recolored as I wanted to use those in my lots - and I need to upload those too. I never did finsih that bathroom floor and tile wall set from Christmas and i did go back and look at it and poo-poo' d it. I have gotten better at recoloring since then so for me to finsih it I would have to totally re-do it.. and I dont know if I have the patience for that.

So thats it for now- I will write more soon. Enjoy your day and thanks for reading!

So I haven't blogged in well over a week and wanted to let everyone know what has been happening...I am feeling better gallbladder wise so thanks to anyone who was holding me up in prayer. I havent had an attack since my last blog. My energy level has been a little low but then evryone in my house has been battling the same problem. My dog has a very bad cold ( most likely caught from jumping in the cold water of the little creek that runs thru the dawg park- he jumped in it a few times on really cold days . But he is a lab and labs love water! Even if its freezing!LOL) so i have been caring for him. I have been busy working and also spending more time at night with my family.

 We have a new addition to our family this past week - a little tabby cat with white socks. Her name is phoebe, she is just a tiny 4 months and my 11 yr old Mia ( aka princess moo-moo on here) found her on a deserted trail near our house. She was a stray kitten with no collar or tags, skinny , shivering- most likely abandoned- and is absolutely adorable! So now she has a good home and has certainly made herself right at home. She and Reuben get along - well reuben likes her better than she likes him. That might be from her having a previous bad experience with dogs while she was a street cat. Phoebe is answered prayer though as a few months back Mia asked me to pray with her to God to give her a kitten. She asked for a tabby with all white paws ( that look like socks) a female who was mellow. Sure enough Phoebe is ALL those things. When Mia found her she said she immediately knew that she was the answer to her prayer! ( My hubby and i had just told her a week before that we wouldnt be able to get a kitten right now as it was a financial issue - mainly we couldnt really afford the shots etc right now)However what do you do when GOD answers a little girls prayers?? SAY NO to GOD?? lol- i think not. Sonow we are a REALLY full house.. with kids and almost every species of animal LOL- we are just missing a pet bird now and then we would be complete! Geesh....Paul and I must be gluttons for punishment!

As for creating - I have still be diligent to create and currently have 31 itmes awaiting approval for over a week now. The problem lies in the fact that the submissions manager is away on vacation and apparantly the person covering for her is not as fast or skilled in the ways of submission approval so its taking ALOT longer. My opinion is it might be a good idea for TSR to fully train others for the event that someone needs a vacation.. and I would gladly take a job doing that :) It would be even nicer to get paid a small wage for that kind of work as I would assume its very time consuming! So if any staff are reading this I am your girl! LOL Anyhoo- I have all thsoe items waiting PLUS I worked last night on 2 new bedroom sets - recolors of Angelamveliza's Colonial Bedroom. I still need to upload those.. and I am half done a new house. Just need to put some finsihing touches on it and do some landscaping...so there is still lots on the way :)

Hi everybody ~Happy Sunday! It was a beeeauutiful day here is SW Ontario .. a gorgeous PLUS 14 ! YIPEE! At one point this afternoon the hubby and I took the doggie to the dog park for 2 entire hours - but it was nice out and the park was packed ~ everyone AND their dog was there - HAHA.

However I have been feeling really yuck alll weekend. On Friday i had 2 cleaning clients ... I cleaned the first house and then whilst driving to the second one i ate my lunch - a banana, some raisins and some cheese strings . When i was finished about 5 minutes after eating I began to get horrible pain in my abdomen. Pain somewhat similar to the pain I had had twice before in the past 6 weeks... where i was in excruciating pain after eating chinese food one time - the other time pizza. On friday the pain was so bad I had to go home and lay down. I have felt awful ever since and cannot eat anything wihtout feeling ill...and my gallbladder feels tender and swollen. I was supposed to go for an ultrasound 3 weeks ago for gallstones but i have been so busy that i didnt go. But tommorrow I HAVE to go! So even with all the other crap in my life - hubby , kids , finances etc .. now I am dealing with this!

Despite the nausea and pain i have been creating this weekend though.. pretty much cuz i dont have the energy to do anything more than sit here. After finally eating some plain rice today i had the energy for abit to take my dog to the dog park. I am now wiped out and nauseous again though.

So what did i accomplish this weekend? Three houses so far, a bunch of build item recolors, and some furniture recolors. I have sooo much to upload now.. that whats i will be doing the remainder of this evening!

Please pray for me okay? Pray I feel better - as this week i have a FULL work week as everything is crammed into 4 days as my hubby has a pain specialist appt in Toronto ( well over an hour away from here) on Friday and it will be an all day affair. PLUS I have to clean the house i didnt clean on friday because of the attack. I dont have the energy for it but we desperately need the money . Last week was our 16 yr olds sons bday and Saturday was PrincessMooMoo's 11 th bday. That cost us alot of cash those 2 birthdays! Now we are broke so I MUST go back to work!
