Hi TSR Community,

Recently I received a long anticipated email from the extraordinary Artist Panel asking me if I would like to accept the honour of being a Select Artist for Sims 3 Lots. I was so humbled and moved! ( I said YAY! YES!!! yes yes! lol)

I want to give a huge Thank you to Cath ( The Numbers Woman) , Thomas, Gea ( Anoeska ) and Angela, as well as everyone else on the Artist Panel for finding my creations worthy of such an honour. As well as awesome advise from Cath , Angela and others over the years. Your feedback has been so helpful.

I want to thank all the other artists - such as MB, Pralinesims, Chemy, Christina51, Degera, Fredbenny , Metisqueen , Space Sims, Simman_123 and MANY others for their encouragement and/or advise over the past 2 yrs that I have been creating for Sims3!

But most of all I want to thank all of YOU-- TSR Community of Sims Lovers - for downloading my items and finding them worthy to put into your games <3 I appreciate all the kind feedback I get with every creation!!

I have waited a long time for this.. and I am on CLOUD NINE. This year 2014 -- marked TEN years that I have been a member of the TSR Community. I have made many friends on here.. some no longer here for various reasons , But I will always cherish the community and ppl here :) 

I came to The Sims Resource looking for content for my Sims 2 game Waaaay back in 2004. I spent 3 yrs as an addicted downloader LOL until I got up the nerve to start uploading some of the houses I had built for my game in 2007. 

I spent several yrs - 2007 to 2009 recoloring for Sims2 and building lots for Sims2 until i took a semi retirement due to family issues and being busy with running my own business.

However in Oct 2012.. I purchased Sims3 ( I could no longer contain my Simming addiction ;) ) I am so glad I did!! It took me a bit but I found the building so much more in Sims3 and soon was starting to create again. I took a stint in TSR University ( Angela is such a wonderful mentor <3 ) to try and learn meshing -- but for some reason this old brain couldn't grasp the texturing -- so I just continued on with lots and then Paintings. I am SO HAPPY that I decided to start creating again!

Now Sims 4 is out.. and I plan to build for it. ( I am working on the first real lot that i find would be worthy of upload) And of course , still building for Sims 3. All the amazing content on here just makes the game SO MUCH more fun to play and create! 

I also HOPE ( I say hope) to try again at meshing for Sims 3 and pattern making. I so admire the time and creativity of the object makers and pattern makers! In other words I am not done yet with learning and growing as an artist! I also eagerly await the addition to create for Sims 4 on TSR Workshop. ( Tutorials etc)

I am currently in Full time college at 44 yrs old- but I love Sims everything so much - I cannot go very long without creating something! :) I will do my very best to continue to make quality items for your games <3 I posted a short while ago at my shock and wonder that I had reached 3 MILLION downloads ( 1900 plus objects betweens Sims2 and Sims3 ) Again Downloaders I cannot thank you enough! Muah! xoxo

Have a terrific Monday and THANK YOU EVERYONE @ TSR! I love this place and will always be a loyal TSR'er. ;)

Happy Simming!

Jackie
