Roawenwood: Design & Craft

The anticipation… it’s killin me.  I’m working extra hard because tomorrow…. (OMG!) tomorrow I’m going to be getting the sim around to open back up.  I have lots of last minute things to do and things to get ready!

I feel like the rabbit in Alice of Wonderland… “I’m late, I’m late!”

It took way longer than anticipated to get a build done.  I tried several and nothing was working… the one I had planned flopped horribly.  Then it became an exercise in trying to not pull out all of my lovely long hair in finding something that I could live with.  I don’t know if ya’ll know yet but I’m something of a perfectionist in some ways and a build that doesn’t *feel* right will make me very uncomfortable.  It took try after try after try….. and I found something unexpectedly that will work…………………….. for now.  I figure I can torment and tweak the thing or change it later if I need to but right now it suits.

A rather relaxing build, things are categorized pretty well, though…….. fair warning.  It’s big.  I figure if you’re going to do it, might as well go big!  Woot!  I do believe though that anyone that is close to me or knows me even a little bit has threatened bodily injury to me if I so much as breathe the word rebuild anytime soon.  I swear it, I’m not making this up.  Anyhow…. so get ready!  Tomorrow.  I’m not promising it will be like 7 am and me standing at the landing zone all done… nuh, should know me better than that.  But tomorrow it is and I have lots going on!

Three hunts start this week, one of them the TWISTED hunt and I actually quite like what I made for it.  I’m going to have sales specials every day, Thurs, Friday, and through the weekend.  I have -tons- of new items mixed in with other inventory and I’m going to have a Roawenwood hunt, something just on the sim…. so how can you really go wrong.  I’m hoping ya’ll will like the new build, and that no one gets too awful lost.

Till then!

Ewww, ewww, ewww!  There isn’t much worse than getting a really bad cold in the middle of summer.

Ugh!  This past week has seen me huddled on the couch wrapped up in a blanket wondering why oh why was I sniffling, sneezing, coughing, and feeling the woes of a cold when it was beautiful weather just outside the door.  Sooooo not fun.

So this week I didn’t do much for Wednesday though I did do a secret refund type sale for the groupies.  If you are a part of the update list you got a note about it, if not well then you didn’t so you couldn’t take advantage of getting anything in the store for 50% off.  Maybe next time.

I’ll write more later but I’m still battling a bit.. see you all later!

This past week I went on a family trip for a few days out of town to Connecticut and Rhode Island.  I still checked in periodically but I didn’t do any work, and there wasn’t a Wednesday thing.  Sucks too cuz it was my rezz day and I was going to do something but the plans came up so we adjusted.

This next week I’ll be back and ready for whatever ya’ll can throw at me.

I’m a part of Gor-fest again this year…. so I’m going to be setting up my tents there for that tomorrow.

Have a great weekend and I’m sure I’ll be getting around to a notice soon enough for my list.

Take Care!

I know.  This week I didn’t do a release or anything fun on Wednesday.

I had intention to but things didn’t work out and I’ve been hiding ever since. *laughs*

There’s a lot going on around the store though and I probably should keep ya’ll updated better.  The GGWH starts tonight.  That means you can come by my place and get some goodies from it after midnight tonight.  They’re running it a little different… you just pick up the trail wherever you feel like it and follow the landmarks.

Kind of like breadcrumbs?  In any case… you follow the path and see what you find.

I have some newness that I’m going to be putting out, and I think I am going to be moving the main store stuff into a temporary store in the sky real soon.  That means things will be a bit of a mess and ugly for awhile but I think I need to do that within the next few days.  Be prepared.  I’ll leave a note on the blog too when it does.

**bounces on her toes excitedly** Guess what?!

It’s the first of February!

That means it is time for some lucky patron of the Roawenwood gets to have their name drawn to win 2000L and a 2000L store credit.  This is one of my favorite things to do, *rubs her hands together and grins*.

This past months winner was Tickle Collazo!!   Congrats!!  I actually had fun reading through her profile… the limerick is cute.

The winner receives 2000L and a 2000L store credit to be used on whatever strikes their fancy at Roawenwood.  If you’d like a chance to win all you have to do is come by the store, click on the board for the contest, place Roawenwood in your picks and you’re all set!  Each month the list is wiped clean and we start all over.  On the last day of the month I will draw at random a winner and send out another notice.   A new winner will be drawn around February 28th.
