Roawenwood: Design & Craft

If you’ve been a regular of Roawenwood and were around this weekend you saw some pretty major changes going on as things started disappearing from the sim and then out of no where poof…. you end up landing somewhere in the sky amongst the clouds and within a bit of a dream realm.  Roawenwood has been overhauled and updated.  HUGE HUGE update.  Some items have been mercilessly retired, and everything has been rebuilt hopefully making it easier to get around.  With this build some MAJOR AWESOME updates that I’ll babble about below but first things first.

·!¦[·       SIMPLY THE BEST WEEKLY DISCOUNT       ·]¦!·

This week for half off is the Livia gown collection.  ALL 9 colors are marked down by half price at the landing and will be through Thursday or so when something new is put out.

·!¦[·      NEWNESS IN THE STORE!!!        ·]¦!·

I’m sooooo excited to be offering up some awesomeness for you.  I’ve gone and done it, most of my place has been put into a system so now you can gift items to your lovers and friends with ease as well as many other great options.

❤  STORE CREDIT REWARDS!!

EVERYTIME you purchase something at the main store or the adult store if it is boxed and in a vendor you now can earn back store credit that you can then use to purchase other products.     Whenever you make a purchase it will let you know how much you have on your account and what tier level you are on.  Three tier levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold earning you back up to 10% back on each purchase!

❤  100L’s OR LESS!!

NEW DISCOUNT AREA WITH LOTS AND LOTS ADDED!!

Off of the clothing section towards the back there’s a little dip down and I have dubbed this area, the pit.  TONS of little things in there marked down substantially from where they were, and NOTHING over 100L at the moment.  I’m flirting with the idea of adding a few furniture pieces but right now it is mainly clothing and accessories.  Use the TP system to get there or wander round the back of clothing to find it!

Know what else?!  You can still earn store credit rewards even on discount items!

❤  REDELIVERY TERMINALS

FINALLY I’ve gotten a little bit more up to date and ANYTHING that is sold now that has a copy permission can now be redelivered from a terminal without having to contact me.  This doesn’t account for things sold before the system was implemented but we’re getting there.  Redelivery terminals can be found at the main landing, clothing, and one at the new Splinter’d Location.   (ignore the purple sign hehe that’s the hunt hint thingie)

❤  NEW TELEPORT SYSTEM

Just wanted to make a quick mention of them.  Each networks with the next so you can hop around the store easier!  Plus it does take you to some places that you can’t find otherwise *winks*

·!¦[·      HUNTS, HAPPENINS, & STUFF        ·]¦!·

TWISTED HUNT is coming March 1st!! I’m gonna have gacha, hunts, stuff… we’ll see.

The Gorean Grid Wide Hunt started this past weekend on the 18th.  I have a nice gift out for ya’ll to find.  Remember I keep things like this around the landing.

Tainted Love Hunt is still going till the end of the month.

March 1st the STEAM hunt also starts, along with a spring festival at the Cookie Jar, PLUS a Medieval hunt is starting.  It should be fun.  Lots coming up and to look forward to.

Hope you have an awesome week, and a great Monday.

Woot!!  The list for the participating merchants for the latest Twisted Hunt has been posted and I got a sponsor slot again.

**does her happy lil twisted dance**

Ahhh, twice a year I get to have a blast with this event and something for ya’ll to look forward to too!  Just what goodness will I conjure up for this theme.

The theme is Arcane, and you know I have to find ways to go bigger and better if I can. The fun starts March 1st!

Yay!

·!¦[·      COOKIE JAR LINDEN HOMES CHALLENGE!!        ·]¦!·

This past month I was approached and asked if I wanted to see if I could design and furnish a set of furniture for valentines day AND stay within the prim limits that would be used in the Linden Homes.  A whole house, 117 prims.  Three designers per house, so that means my room…. 39 Prims.  *winces* Ouch.

Wow, really?  39 prims, me?  For a WHOLE room?  I’m such a prim whore too.  Do you have ANY idea how much strugglin there was with this one?   Details, eye candy, immersion… I just love it and no offense, a big boxy empty room… This was a tough one but we DID it!  My group decided to try to do a rather romantic French country inspired look using blacks & whites with reds and pinks as accents.  My contribution is a full set that can be bought in pieces or as a set.  Priced inexpensively in general because it is meant for Linden Homes and people on a limited budget.  The fireplace really needs to be seen in world, it looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the pictures.

Granted AFTER completing the display I added an accent or two in the packages, but because a lot are 1 prim or two you can pick/choose which to use to stay within your prim limits.  The full display is HERE >>The Cookie Jar Linden Homes Display <<  at the Cookie Jar sim where you can see ALL of the displays that each team did along with the other members I worked with.  It was a lot of fun!

Furniture is on display also at my landing.

This week there’s a bit to go over I suppose.  I have some newness and sales.  I’m getting to where I am planning on certain things to be pretty much weekly.  One is the 60L list, I like it.  I don’t always make a ton of sales but it’s a nice number for a decent item.  Not too low, not too high and I can play round with it.  This week I have a few things on sale at the landing for 60L.  Should check it out if you’re interested.  All are regular items, nothing cheap.  Promise.

Another group that is new is called Simply the Best, the idea is a group of creators who have been invited as some of the best participate in a weekly sale or do something for the group.  This week I have my showers on half off.  This really is a great deal.  325L for a shower that has BOTH singles animations and LIMITED EDITION animations for couples that aren’t for sale any longer on the grid.  The showers are on sale for the week only.  A rustic version, and a more ornate fancier version so really there is something for either.  The showers also have realistic splash effects and sound.

Someone did a real nice blog post too about the showers showing off some of the animations with pictures!  Looks really great I think and I really do appreciate them taking the time to do it.  Can see it over here:  Double Exposure: Shower me with Kisses.

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.
