Loading for vacation resorts!

I have been playing Bon Voyage and really like it! Now I'm planning for some holiday resorts. I have several exotic themes in my mind. For a starter, I have just uploaded some cool African wallpapers that I made. I've also made tropical and Japanese walls, but some of them are quite plain and simple. They will just come with the lots.
In a few days I'll be off to Spain for a conference. Hopefully I will get some inspiration from staying at a holiday resort myself!

Squares - free lot for one week only :-)

I've put my lots back on free rotation: this week it's Squares, one of my most popular lots. It's free for a week from Friday the 26th October. Grab it quick :-))))

Halloween Tricks

A bit of this and that for Halloween. Halloween Tricks set coming October 28 and includes mailbox spiders with spooky interactions, glowing eyes that can be placed anywhere (cheat code might be needed), and vampire windows - duplicates of some Maxis windows modified so they do not let the daylight in. Note, the windows will not protect vampires during daytime, they simply help to make vampire dwellings darker.

Important! Willow hair mesh!

TeXaSrOsE has pointed out an animation problem with my Willow hair mesh. The problem affected the adult mesh (young adults through elders). If you have downloaded this mesh and want it to show up correctly for all ages, please redownload the mesh file here:

Many thanks to TeXaSrOsE for drawing my attention to this!

Halloween Poem by Welshwitch

Eye of Newt & Wing of Bat
For this Samhain you'll need more than that!
Goblins Ears and a kittens mew
Will add some magic to my brew.

So watch out all you little brats
This Hallows Eve 'Da Witch is Back!!'
Soon my Magic I will weave,
And no stone unturned will I leave.

So come out, come out where ever you are,
For my magic will travel near and far,
Once again you'll hear my call
'Trick or Treat' there's one for all.

Just Dropping a Line

I'm just dropping a line to say thank you to all those who download my creations. I so enjoy seeing you have fun with them! I haven't been submitting as much lately as real life has kept me a bit busy, but I'm still doing what I can. Hopefully I can keep up enough that you will still have plenty of choices. I'm having lots of fun creating and hope you're having fun too! Take care!

Wallpaper

I branched out a bit. I've started to make some wallpaper sets, mostly for lounge and dining areas but there is a set of girlie pink and purple that would work in bedrooms. Here's a sneak at one of the wallpapers from the Paisley Perfection set.

Recolors

Gosh, it seems like it's been AGES since I've uploaded anything here! i do apologize to my fan(s) - I admit I've been extremely busy (4 kids, 3 dogs, 2 jobs, 1 husband, and going to school full time), and slightly lazy. That, and I'm not overly thrilled about the new upload system here at TSR. Creating is so much fun! Submitting it sucks dirt. I mean REALLY. I mean, if I'm going to forgo my study time, it shouldn't be so painful!

On my lazy (but no less creative) days, I've been submitting to my sister site, Simaholics R Us: www.simaholicsrus.com . You'll see things there that I don't have uploaded here. Ricci2882 is the site owner, and she makes it really easy (and fun!) to be in a creative frenzy! She's also an awesome creator/recolorer/lot builder in her own right. I've really enjoyed working with her.

Where do I get my inspiration? From everywhere. I may get a request for a kitchen, and then all of a sudden, I'll see (or create) a texture that absolutely SCREAMS kitchen, and I'll whip one up. My most successful recolor to date is the Star Child nursery. I whipped that texture up in just a few minutes, just because it came to me in a dream (or something). My worst recolor, the butterscotch, i did because I liked the color and the texture. Apparently I was the only one :) so you see, anything is possible in Simland!

Ok, that, and I am the proud owner of a narcoleptic pekingese and a schizophrenic chug (pug/chihuahua mix). Am I making light of those two very serious illnesses? Absolutely not. Cecelia (the peke) falls asleep in her dinner bowl almost constantly. The kids have even held her upside down to see if she still snores (she does).Pebbles (the chug) hears voices. Or at least, she tells us she does. I'm thinking it's probably because she is about 900 in doggy years. poor thing. How does this help me to create? Inspiration, absolute total pure inspiration. The Blue flowers set is a take on Cecelia's (we call her sis) favorite blanket. Daisies are Pebbles' favorite flower. to eat. you see what i mean?

Ok, I'm supposed to be at work now (I love Krystal's what can I say), so I guess I'd better get lost for now. and I have class tonite. Creative Problem solving. hmm...maybe i can figure out why Ricci2882 isn't an FA yet......

Hello!

I finally took the plunge and spent a few of my kudos to promote S2HBAA a little further. If you're new here and don't know what it is go to the Build a lot forum and check out the S2HBAA membership thread. The banner was created by my dear friend Hatshepsut! Thanks you Hats!
