2015 will be different around this blog!

For two reasons!

NEW BLOGGER CHALLENGE!
 
Apparently I NEED that weekly blog challenge to make a weekly post! So on the 1st I will be starting up a new "52 weeks of" deal.

Only it's not going to be colors! It will be a different theme a week. I feel this allows for much more creative expression and exploration of the theme then a color. I loved doing the colors but matching them each week got so frustrating at times. I'm excited about this new idea! And actually since I will start on the 1st of January and end on the 31st of December, 2015 has 53 weeks to work with! Yes posting it on Thursday due to my performance schedule for various Renaissance faires and events taking me out of state many a weekend.

How will this work? Look at the theme of the week decide how you want to express it, be it with clothing, pose, a sim you visit, or all of the above. What ever you like and suits your blogging style best. Make a blog post and show off how you worked the theme! I matched many themes to events going on either in Real Life or In world, such as holidays or RFL. Which also means the list is subject to change as I don't have a few dates of events yet. But if a creator wants the list I will still give it out! :)

I am looking forwards to this challenge as I think it will be lots of fun for me and anyone else that wishes to join in. Spread the news!

Oh and the first weeks theme

Week 1 January 1st

Theme

Beginnings / New Years

Also exclusively to my blog..

BI MONTHLY CALENDER POST!
 
I picked up both of Chanimations' calender post packs, SugarRush and FruitFetish. Every other week I will use one and post it for that month! I am also looking forwards to this as getting the costuming right for each pose will be such a challenge for me.

I also hope to play catch up on some of Berry’s Blog Challenges but no promises on that.

And just to add a photo to this post..

I am looking forwards to getting back into the swing of blogging and at seeing if anyone joins in. It just got so easy for me to NOT post when I had no weekly challenge to do.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Havenhollow Returns

Last years fun spooky trick or treating and haunted fun times is back this year with Havenhollow Returns! The trick or treating is still the same but there is a new haunted area to explore!

Once again the trick or treating on the sim is just fun in itself. Each home gives out something different and the decorations on each house is different from last year! The details the sim designers put into the build is amazing.

You can see all my photos of the sim at this link here

And again the way to the Scary area is hidden. Find the little girl talking about the pumpkin patch and follow her directions. there is nothing where last years haunted house was at.

And this years haunted are is a creepy abandoned either Asylum or hospital, not fully sure which. Be SURE to wear the hud you're given to move about the place properly.

Once you get though the haunted area you're taken to a pumpkin patch with prizes, both free and for sale. As well as an auction for a date with the members of group that puts on Havenhollow.

So go have some fun! Collect candy and get scared!

And I am now about to go load up my car and head off to The Haunted Castle of Muskogee. Same place my Renfaire is in May. Only now it's done up for halloween with various haunted to go through. If you live near Muskogee, OK come find me at the Fireside Stories area! It's free to get into the grounds *just not the haunts* and I am one of the storytellers!

RMK Halloween: the Magical Academy

So this is a fun lil game event for Halloween. You do get a free uniform to wear but I wanted to explore with the above outfit. The uniforms rather cute though.

You're playing a magician that is just learning the ropes. There are a few excilent guides on other blogs right now so no need for me to rehash, just link!

The official guide blog This also has a page with the gatcha prizes you are playing for.

Primdolls potion Recipe guide

If you go, know going in this can take a lot of time, each try for the gatcha prize is 10 silver, or 1 gold coin. I found the potions to be the easiest one to earn the coins with, but the most time consuming.

Now that is out of the way, the sim is quite nice! I enjoyed just exploring it

Nightmare at the Park

So, it's been a while since I made a post. Ugh. I have been HORRIBLE at posting this year. Next year I will do better though. I have a plan, that I will announce in December. I realized the problem and it shall be fixed! Booyah!

Anyway, It's now October and the month of SL haunted places. I have a few I have gone to or will be going to hopefully by the end of the month and lets start with one of them now shall we?

Nightmare at the Park is a well done and not too scary spot to go explore. The Sim windlight is perfect for it but you DO need the flashlight they offered to see things well! Make sure you have attached lights clicked to ON and have fun!

Lets ease back into blogging shall we?

I think a lot of what I have on for this sim shoot came from events. But with the exception of the jewelry, which came from the recently closed The Secret Affair, I can't remember positively or not if they did. And no matter if they did or not, all the events are closed now. The items may be at their creators store but may not be. All you can do is look!


The build I am exploring is a lovely skybox build put together by Lauren Bentham. It's very popular currently though, and has a few either, ghosts or bots sitting around in it. Mostly newbies, one guy has been sitting on the landing point for weeks, every time I went there! But other then him no one is in anyway annoying. And its worth the trip!

Click for Bigger

It's a beautiful build with lots of hidden nooks and items hidden about. So many cute things! Look for the chipmunk family!

If you're looking for a nice spot to spend an hour relaxing or for a romantic stroll. This is a good spot! Highly recommend!
