Roawenwood: Design & Craft

I’m going to be writing up an update soon here for upcoming events, sales, and all that nummy goodness… but right now?  I’m taking a bit of a breather, and will be back.  I may not be around a whole lot this weekend through Monday.  Taking a bit of time for myself and promise I’ll be back full force!

I’m a wee bit behind on the blog else there would have been lots of posts on this.

Every year I toss around the idea of doing the 12 Days in the more traditional style of the days after Christmas rather than leading up to.  Well this year I bit the bullet and decided at the last minute to go ahead and just do it!

Most everyday (I’ve run late a time or two, actually to be completely honest I have not put out yesterdays gift yet lol) there has been a new gift and a marked down item from the store.  I’ve twisted it around, been a smart ass a time or two or just blatantly decided to play along with different parodies to create something of my own 12 days of Christmas.

Day 1 I was looking over the list and realizing that there was a hell of a lot of birds in this song.  If I do this again I’m going to have to account for it.  Gift for day one was a whole pear tree set with chores and all.

Day 2 Two Turtlenecks!  I grew up listening to a parody (http://www.squidoo.com/12days) and the second day was two turtlenecks.  So an outfit we had… a saucy thing with skirts, and a naughty top.

Day 3 I went back to the normal version but twisted mine around.  The Three Hens Sewing Circle was the gift.  A furniture set for three women to sit, gossip or generally bitch about life.  The grumpy anim is just classic, I added an expression to it so you get a real fun little thing.  Very nice set.  I adore it and intend totally to have it available somehow after the event.

Day 4 I made you breakfast.  Breakfast tray for one going back to Bob and Doug, 4lbs of bacon, and the day before for them was french toast so why not.  I like this tray too to be honest.  Can read in bed, eat a couple different foods… rezzes and derezzes props.

Day 5 Golden Rings!  Redone anysia silks with brand new jewelry.  Seriously liking these too, body drapes and all.  Mhmmm, spoilin ya’ll

Day 6 See we’re back to birds, and I realized with the geese-a-layin and all that my butchers accessories didn’t have any poultry. Hmmm, well we can’t have that so we redid the butchers sets and the work table was todays gift.

Day 7 Swans-a-Swimming in a lovely foresty pond for your garden.

Day 8 Maids-a-Milking.  Ummmmmm I got naughty here, she ain’t milkin no cows in this one! 0.o

And now we’re getting to where I’m at…. I have to put out 9 ladies and 10 leapers.  Yanno, I’m strugglin with the leapin lords.  *scratches her head*

All gifts are for in world group members only but placed around the tree down at the landing all pretty like.

Ok, as ya’ll know I love ALL of the twisted events that surround the Twisted Hunt group… coming up next week the awesomeness that is Twisted Krissmuss kicks off!!

Each year a group of merchants make up special items that are all transfer and priced at 100L for the holiday season to help out everyone that is trying to save some linden cash but still want to give everyone something a little special for the holidays.  The items are all supposed to be high quality and kept at a low price to keep the holidays merry.  I love this stuff and I’m going to pump ya’ll up so you can have something to look forward to!

I might even make up a special lil giftie for all of you shoppers too… I’m hoping to have a few things to offer like I did last year.

This week I’m giving you the weekly newness that is hunts, store news, contest winner and other goings on!  I don’t have a new item for sale BUT I do have two new hunt gifts and a CoLab release!  I missed the 60L list this week however on tues. I am doing the 25L list.

·!¦[·      CANDY CANE LANE - COLAB KIT #35        ·]¦!·

CoLab is a great group of people who work with a theme every couple of weeks and then offers that piece for no more than 60L during the round.  It’s a lot of fun and the theme this time was Candy Cane Lane.  My offering for it is a little rp item or whatever you’d like to use it for.  A sweets trolley or handcart to push around during your festive season.   Near the new arrivals section and marked for 60L, I still have the previous rounds fireplace down there for the 60L too if you want it.

·!¦[·      RENAISSANCE & TENTACLE ADDICTS HUNTS     ·]¦!·

Greetings Happy Hunter types, for those so inclined two hunts started on the 1st.
The Renaissance hunt started and I have an item hidden inside a tiny gargoyl at my landing.  This hunt also has a ‘faire’ for the starting point with a mini-hunt going on to get it going. (The prize is a nice set that’s a bit rustic looking too but I didn’t take a pic of it. heh)

The Tentacle Addicts hunt I’m on the adult path.  There’s the PG, and the adult…. of course I had to have some fun with it.  I made up a tentacle trap just for something different.  If you’re interested that’s hidden down here too.

Don’t forget the other hunts running… Candy Cane 3, and the Traditional Christmas hunt.

An opportunity for you…. I need a scripter.  I don’t generally look for this sort of thing making due with what I can find or do for myself however for something specific I wish to accomplish I need someone who is reliable, and can script something for me that allows me to have copy/transfer permissions at least so I can include it in a product. (I WILL NOT sell anything full permission ever, permissions would be redone to copy/no transfer or no copy/transfer always).  Here’s where I figured I could put my feelers out there… ya’ll listen to me ramble and someone out there must know someone.

The rundown:
╚»╚»  Sear needs a scripter.
╚»╚»  You find and/or know a scripter who is looking for work.  I need copy/transfer permissions at least so it can be used in a product.
╚»╚»  Ideally they contact me
╚»╚»  If they can do what I need, they get hired, they _complete_ the work to MY satisfaction and are paid/compensated for their work as agreed
╚»╚»  You (the person who referred them) receive as a thank you and finders fee 2500L store credit to be used at any of the stores in the Roawenwood Store group (Splinter’d, Roawenwood, Roawenwood Acres)

In other words, I’m not handing out 2500L worth of stuff just for a name.  The work has to be done and completed before anyone gets that.  Just covering my backside.  *winks*
