HOME EXPO IS COMING!!!! Sorry for the caps, but this is definitely one of my favorite favorite favorite events of the year!

This is the sixth year for the Home and Garden Expo in Second Life. The event has over 100 of Second Life’s best home and garden creators, so there’s sure to be SOMETHING you need for your home there! This year the event spans 8 sims for just the home and garden products, 2 sims for the Breedables Fair, and 1 sim for entertainment. There will be a great hunt, silent auctions, and raffles, too! It’s going to be so much fun!

The Home and Garden Expo runs from May 24th to June 2nd and benefits Relay For Life. See you there!

[I'll have all the SLurls for the Expo when the time comes!]

If you throw a bit of restlessness mixed in with tiredness it’s not the best combination to get anything done.   I wanted to be in-world and yet found myself with not sure what to do.  Normally these would be opportune times for me to tackle my inventory.  Instead I decided to try out some of the suggestions on taking photos and playing with the environmental editor from one of the participant’s in this week’s meme from Strawberry.  

Before

The picture used in the tutorial was at Roche and since there was a landmark and I was feeling lazy I headed there to take a picture and play with these tips.   This was my result.  Even if it’s not the best angle, it wasn’t all that bad for someone who has no clue on how to use the environmental settings other than using the presets that are readily available.

After

Then afterwards I headed to my Wildlife Sanctuary and decided to do a photo with making a few tweaks to another sky and water preset.  Overall a worthwhile tutorial.  While I did not participate in this week’s meme I did take the time to read most of them.» View author and full post…

I am sure by now that you have seen the destruction and devastation left by the powerful tornado that wiped out homes, businesses and schools in Oklahoma.  My heart goes out to the people there and anyone else who was affected by this tragedy.  It’s so easy to be removed emotionally by these events when it is not happening to you personally or it’s in another part of the world.  For instance on the same day there was car bombings that killed many in Iraq.   My heart goes out to the people there too.  Though in this day and age it seems these types of things are happening more frequently that we tend to just shrug it off and move to the next story.  It’s sad to think that as a society we have become this detached.

Though I hope you take the time to reflect and really be mindful and appreciate and show your love to those you hold dear.  Even if I wish these events didn’t happen, they do serve as a reminder to not take the life I have been given, even if not perfect, for granted and truly appreciate those people be it family and friends in my life or the common stranger that might just be passing by.» View author and full post…

The 6th Annual Home & Garden Expo benefiting Relay for Life will open to the public on the 24th of May 2013. Tons of really talented designers, builders, and landscapers are participating and you can view the list of exhibitors on this link. Judging from the layout posted on the Home & Garden Expo’s official site, it’s going to be one massive event filled with awesome shopping and entertainment experience.

I was trying to take photos for sneak peeks but Second Life won’t let me be productive tonight. Stay tuned for more info and posts featuring some items available at the expo!

It’s Monday and the start of another week.   I’m really hoping for a less chaotic week than the one just passed.  Though I woke up a tad late and I’m dragging a bit today.   So I figured that I would begin my week with a spring in my step, some coffee and to describe my dress I just took a line out of one of Fleetwood Mac’s song, “Monday morning you sure look fine“.

Hope everyone has a good start to their week!

After the busy last week it was good to be able to just take it easy and relax without having any commitments to do anything or go anywhere.  Sometimes it really is great just to do nothing.  I wanted to share some more pictures of my little corner in this virtual world.  A place of peace and tranquility.  I named it the Wildlife Sanctuary because of the wildlife that I have roaming around.

The reason I created this place was to show a little of the beauty and wonder we have in my home state of Florida.   I was inspired by another location in-world that also has swampy waters and gators.   Plus I was ready for something different.

“Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it’s beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein

I love nature and wish I had more affinity for the sweltering heat that we get here so that I can enjoy it more.   So enjoying it in-world in air condition is second best though quite comfy.   I have decided to leave it open for the time that it may be up.» View author and full post…

After what seems like a millennium, I finally finished my sim build. Between the time I started it and now, I think it went through four iterations. And by “iteration” I mean “OH MY GOD I HATE IT ITS CRAP NUKE EVERYTHING!!!” and start over. Four times. At least. You see, I am my own […]» View author and full post…
