First, a word of thanks

I think it's only right that my first blog entry on my shiny new minisite should be a big THANK YOU to Thomas and to Anita (Atwa) for granting me this privilege, and especially to the incomparable Lola (with sister Gabi, the team you know as Sims2Sisters). Lola, you know how special you are, my friend.

I also want to thank my buddies and fellow Simaholics on the TSR forums who take the time to help me figure out the nuts-and-bolts of creating and submitting work to TSR. Special kudos to Cindy (Wildstar24) for asking me to be a beta tester. Cindy, it's still fun and still an honor!

Big hugs and thanks to Cyclonesue, Madisim, Pinecat, Tigerblue, Cashcraft, Spaik and all the other FAs whose work I've been privileged to beta test, for inspiring me, encouraging me and for putting up with my nitpicking and occasional faux pas. Gang, no matter what, you know I think you're all the cream of the crop.

And finally, thanks to all the people who've downloaded my creations. Nothing makes me smile wider than visiting my submissions page and seeing how many people liked my work enough to give it a place in their own games.

You have all made my life richer. My deepest thanks!

Gina
