A Slight Delay

Sorry for my silence! Please bare with me just a little bit longer. As I type this (on my sister's computer that cannot run SL) my computer is installing updates (I haven't used it in 2 years). I am hoping once it gets caught up I can install an SL viewer and it run ok! To the people i blog for, I am so sorry! I wasn't expecting it to take this long! If the computer still can't run SL I will be buying a new one so I WILL be back and sharing all the looks and home updates!

Thanks for your patience!

An Update

Hey guys! Sorry for the silence! I have a few blog posts I am getting out tonight and tomorrow and then I will have another hopefully short silence! I am moving across the country on Friday and have been busy with packing, setting up blog photos, working RL , etc. Once I move I have to mess around with the computer I have there (It's not so good) and hopefully get it working well enough for me to take blog photos and move around on SL! Do you guys have any viewer suggestions? I was using firestorm way back before but it got to a point where I couldn't move my camera without locking up and crashing. I'll be saving up for a new computer though so I can get back to my regular blogging like it used to be!

As you can see in the photo above, I'm exhausted, trying to keep up. Good thing I've been living in pajamas lately. I can just fall over onto my bed and take a long nap! These pajamas are from Jellybeans Fashions and can be found at Neverland Events until the 8th of October! Then a new round begins! There are some super super cute things at this event and I can't wait to keep showing you! (One more post about it before the move and then a couple more after).

Thanks for your patience you guys! I appreciate all my readers and the designers and can't wait to keep growing!

Faith, Trust, & Pixie Dust

Watch me now! Here I go!

I'm off to fly to Neverland where I will be shopping, shopping, shopping! Pixie dust only works if you think of happy things! Shopping definitely makes me happy!

Neverland Events is a new event with a theme that runs every 2 months! Items made by kids for kids! The theme this month is Dream Land and designers used their dreams and imagination to create some super cute items!

The super cute fair outfit I am wearing is from the event, made by Doodlez. It's called Twinkerbellz and comes in ivy, lilac, rose, and sweetpea. It comes with the tutu outfit, the shoes, wand, tiara, anklet, wings, and bracelet.

Of course I brought my coin purse with me because you need money to buy things! It's from Noodles and the one I am holding is the tan one but you can get it in white if you prefer.

This is just one of many posts for the Neverland event so stay tuned this week and next for more!

Oh Daddy my Daddy

I've been with my SL dad for 5 years and 9 months now. He loves me just the same as he did the first days and I love him the same! I almost never (sometimes I accidentally log too fast) log off without blowing him kisses and saluting him. I'm his Lil Chuck, his cutie, his Audrey, and his trouble. He laughs at my antics. We even zombie hunt together! He is so awesome that he is even a Lt. Colonel at Tombstone. That means he is good at shooting bad guys...or eating donuts...did they have donuts in that time period? I plan to spend many more years with him! As many as I can get!

I used a pose from GlamRus Poses called "Mini Me". It can be bought at All the Little Things for an awesome low price but be sure to buy it before the 27th! This round of ATLT is Limited. The items exclusive for this round will not be sold after this month is up!

My owl nails and panda necklace are also limited this month and can be bought at All the Little Things.

My oh so cute vanity and chair will fit nicely in any bedroom! Wimey made this set for The Challenge! The chair even has poses! This set is currently only 150L!

My cute giraffe toy? You can get that at Kidz Clozet. It comes in a set of 8 (7 other animals besides the giraffe) and is 1LI! It looks great on shelves, floors, vanities, and even dressers!

I don't normally wear binkies but this mustache one is just so adorable (I love cute mustache themed things!) It's from That's So Kyoot's Gatcha for Woodland Treasures! There are a ton of cute ones. So if you are into wearing binkies, you should totally go play it!

Look through the credits to get any of the things above!

New Events and End of the Month Last Call!

Earlier this month I blogged a preview for the current round of Enchantment. This is the final blog I will be making for it this month (it ends at the end of the month until next round) and I also wanted to show you all a few more things you could get from it!

This round's theme is centered around the tale of Bluebeard (who did indeed have a bluebeard).
You can find his story here: Wiki: Bluebeard

At the bottom of this post will be links to each store partcipating. Each store has an item that you can buy (from any of the stores) that will have a stamp card in it. Take the stamp card to each store and click on the stamp machine and it will stamp your card. When you fill up your card you can either gift it to someone or take the SLurl it gives you and pick a prize from the prize area. 1 stamp card = 1 prize.

You can click the photo above to see it larger. The things I got from enchantment in the photo are my necklace, eyes, earrings, and the candle. There is a larger picture of the candle below. The earrings from Pita Pocket are a prize as is the candle from Tea.s. The necklace (from tea.s) and the eyes (from Chop Shop) are for sale in their respective stores for a great price and each includes a stamp card!

The outfit I am wearing is from Petite Bebe and can be bought at a new event you may have heard of. Route66 is a new monthly event where designers make something based on colors and/or a theme they are given. Each store's item they make is for sale ending in a 66 (for example: $66L, $166L, $266L, etc.). This outfit includes the skirt, sandals, and sweater. Super cute for this fall weather approaching and it only costs $166L! The event will end in early sept. I believe so that they can set up for a new round that will begin Sept. 16th so hurry down and grab this outfit at this great price!

Sorry this blog post is a little late! I had some RL health issues but i am on the mend! 

Until Next time!

Shake it Off!

I'm sure a ton of you have listened to/seen the new Taylor Swift song, Shake it Off. If not it will be at the bottom of this post. I have never been a fan of her music. It just didn't appeal to me. I give her a chance now because of a song she sang for the hunger games soundtrack which didn't even sound like her. Her new song has got me hooked. It's played on repeat for a few days now (don't worry I listened to other stuff and took breaks)!

That's So {Kyoot} has released a super cute new outfit that is 50L today (for FLF /kids/). It has that ballerina feel to it but it has a pair of shorts so it becomes an outfit! My most favorite part of it though is the leggings. I wish I could pull leggings like that off in RL!

The pose is from Shutterbug's Woodland Gatcha that ends here in a few days. It's from her series, When I Grow Up". It's mod so you can easily adjust the poses and bar to your height! The music box is from Nach's Woodland Gatcha. Each fairytale music box plays the tune that it was inspired by.

Another post coming tomorrow!!
