WELL . . LOOK AT THAT!

Thirteen million and counting . . .who would have thought it . . .not me in all my imaginings when I first started here on TSR.  It really delights me that even though I have not created for Sims3 for a few months now, the downloads are still happening . . .and the lovely people doing them are adding to my 'swag' every day.  Particular thanks to you, whoever you are.  If you have left a comment, then I will be thanking you personally . . .soon!

I have recently uploaded a few paintings and wall designs for Sims4 . .  and am very happy with the response.  To tose dear hearts who leave comments for both TS3 and TS4, I have to warn that I only get to respond about once a month . . so do not think you are overlooked, forgotten or ignored . . that is not happening . . what is happening is that I still have to ration my time for these catchup sessions . . .I seem to have more happening at 80 than I did at 40  . .  but I will get to you . . .as soon as I can.

Have a great Sim year and happy downloading . . .

Marg xoxo

AU REVOIR

I have just submitted my final two uploads to TSR, to be published to the end of the month.  After 7 years of intensive patterning for TS3, I feel that the time has come for me to call it a day.

I have tremendously enjoyed the Sims3 connections I have made over that time, but can summon no enthusiasm at all,  for Sims4.  Perhaps if there is ever a Sims5 [and I am still around], I may be back . .  only time will tell.

Thank you my good friends for all your support . . you know who you are!

Over and out

12 MILLION DOWNLOADS

Well now, who would have thought!   Not me that's for certain. . . .but, the 12 millionth download rolled through uneventfully . . .and probably un-noticed by anyone but me. . .just like these posts  LOL . . sorta.

I think I'm coming to the end of my usefulness though . . . so am emptying the holding folders right now . . and when they are closed off, then so will I be.

Heartfelt thanks to all those lovely people who STILL manage to comment . . .and to all those lovely anonymous downloaders who don't . . .  download totals are earned not created, so this milestone would be un-achieved without you all.

Love and bye for the time being. xox

11 MILLION downloads . .

I've decided to keep posting these 'milestones' . . because for me they are close to amazing!    

But the main reason is to thank all those unknown dowloaders, who quietly slip through the pages and collect the things that interest them, and no one knows who they were. . . .they are the reason why I can say . . Yay! 11 million of my creations have made their way into Sim games all over the world . . and that's what is amazing.

Thank you also to all the regular visitors who make my life interesting with comments. . .  you're the best.

Love

Marg.

END OF YEAR, 2016

As with all previous posts here, I guess this will be mostly for my own benefit . .  but, hey!  I'm a cockeyed optimist don't'cha know?

The end of another year is fast approaching, so I think it is opportune to say a few words of thanks to those loyal friends who have continued to support my efforts throught 2016 . .  and to those new ones who pop  up from time to time .

I hope you have all had a seriously wonderful Christmas - or it's alternative for non-Christians -  and that you are looking forward to a New Year with equanimity. I know there will be those whose circumstances are not as peaceful as mine, so to you I say only . .  don't give in . . .be brave and  be true to yourself in all things.

Sincere thanks to all of you who have downloaded my bits and pieces   .  and especially the repeat offenders - you know who you are! . . and I will be back around the middle of January with more pattern sets, paintings and an occasional lot from my vast collection.

In the meantime, you are the VERY best.

               . .  so here's a hand, my trusty friend! 

                                 and give me a hand of yours,

                                               We'll take a cup of kindness then,

                                                       for the sake of Auld Lang Syne.

                                                                                                HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017

Much love,

Marg XO

10 MILLION DOWNLOADS

Once again, I'm here to say thank you to all those lovely people - known and unknown - who have downloaded my stuff so that I can reach this milestone!

It continually amazes me that my small bits can reach so many people . . . and get such a positive reaction.

As always, I could not have done this without YOU . . all of you. . .  so -  much love and THANKS!

Marg.

9 MILLION DOWNLOADS

Another milestone has passed with little or no fanfare!  9 million downloads seems incredible to me.

I"m mentioning it here mainly for my own benefit it seems, as I don't receive any comments on these posts.

However, I will still take this opportunity to personally thank all those who have contributed to this download marvel, and to advise my longterm friends that I have just commissioned a new computer and a new internet service.  The last try at this latter endeavour resulted in disappointment . . .but I now believe I will finally be able to reply to comments as they occur . . .something that has always made me feel less than polite, but which I could not readily overcome, due to bandwidth and internet time limits. . . which were fully taken up by me for uploads and content downloads.  Hopefully that is a thing of the past and I look forward to catching up with those of you who are kind enough to leave a message on my stuff.

Thank you again, one and all, for your continued support.

with love,

Marg

8 MILLION DOWNLOADS!!

8 million downloads . . . and I missed the action!   

Oh well, it happened all the same . .  my thanks to all those wonderful people who liked my stuff enough to try it. 

I will be back with some more patterns, lots and paintings very soon and hope that I will be able to snag your interest through 2016. . . until then, as ever, my sincere thanks to you all . .  this milesone was - as always - a team effort.   Hooray for us! 

A NEW YEAR COMING UP

 . . . and so we come to the closing few days of 2015 .. .  I hope that your year has been filled with good experiences, but if not, then I hope that you have been able to overcome difficulties with grace and good will.

Christmas is only 3 days away, so many of you will be caught up in the last minute flurry of preparations and expectations of the holidays ahead.   I hope that they are everything you could wish for yourself . . and then some. . . and that 2016 will bring health and happiness for you and yours.

For those who do not celebrate the Crhsitian festivals, may your year end on a peaceful and hopeful note and 2016 begin - and continue -  in that same manner.

It has been a full on year for me - I have only missed a few days all year - so I am taking a short break tp re-group and just potter.  I will be back in January . .probably sooner rather than later, as old habits die hard! 

Thank you for past kindnesses  to all my old friends here at TSR . .  and the many new ones I continue to meet through these pages . . . you are the VERY best.

 . .  so here's a hand, my trusty friend! 

             and give me a hand of yours,

                    We'll take a cup of kindness then,

                            for the sake of Auld Lang Syne.

Love, Marg.

SEVEN MILLION DOWNLOADS!

Pardon me for shouting . . but 7 million downloads seems pretty much like shout-worthy to me!

Thank  you, sincerely, to all the wonderful people who have downloaded - and continue to download - my patterns, paintings and lots.  With a steady output like mine, it is becoming more and more difficult to find fresh material . . .but your support keeps me looking - and of course, if you look hard enough you will usually find something that works. :]

So, please take a bow my friends and know that I appreciate every single download.  

Love

Marg.
