The Snow Queen's vision of time

As all of my readers know, I love to have a reason to play dress up and put on a new character for a bit and today is no exception!  I was delighted when I opened my blogger box from TFF for the SL 2015 Christmas Expo, a Relay for Life production and saw this wonderful ensemble and just HAD to share it with you all as well as give you a teaser for January from Lone Wolf Studio!

The Snow Queen ensemble consists of the Crown, Hair, Eyeshadow, Lipstick, Collar, Cape, Gown, Hand Muff, Boots and a Shape, Skin and Eyes not pictured, meaning you have to look no where else for a perfect RP gown this Holiday season than TFF at the SL 2015 Christmas Expo!  This gown is an exclusive, so make sure you hurry on over and get your hands on this magnificent ensemble!  If you are wanting a little more depth and scifi added to your ensemble then make sure to look out for the Who's Who Hunt 2 starting in January, which is the only way you can get your hands on this fantastic new release from Lone Wolf Studio.

Lots of Shiny Baubles!

Ever since I was a little girl a Christmas Tree had to have a ton of lights and sparkles on it or I wasn't happy.  I will confess that on a six foot tree, two thousand lights isn't enough and my electricity bill during the Holidays, when Jesse and I are home, will attest to that fact.  I mean everyone puts lights on their homes, and around their yards and inside their houses with all kinds of pretty sparkling baubles, so why not make sure the tree is the brightest and most impressive of the displays?  Since we won't be putting a tree up at home this year I decided to put a very bright and glittery tree up to satisfy my need.

If you are lacking decorations for the Holidays then this is the perfect time to head out shopping on the grid as there are several themed events happening at the moment, and as you can tell I hit them all up pretty hard!  The Tannenbaum Holiday Market has been open for a bit and is worth the visit just to wander around, as the venue is well decorated with lots of little attractions, and of course a gacha area as well.  And if you have been looking for a way to give a little back this season then head on over to the SL 2015 Christmas Expo, a Relay for Life production where some or all of the proceeds from certain vendors will go to benefit the American Cancer Society through Relay for Life.  The event covers 4 sims with several stages featuring performing artists so make sure to check out the website listed below for all the details and event schedule.  One of the things I am glad to see this year is the numerous creators with ornament gachas at the events!  I like to decorate my own tree since it's about as crazy as the rest of my decorating, so I loved being able to combine styles and to show off all the little goodies.  I hope I inspired you to have a little more Holiday spirit and that you are planning on doing some shopping in the next few days at Tannenbaum and the SL 2015 Christmas Expo!

French Walnut Study from Park Place for RLF 2015 Christmas Expo

The days are slipping away quite quickly and before we know it Christmas will be upon us.  If you are like me decorating the house for the Holidays is a chore and sometimes it ends up being Christmas Eve before there is a tree up, and that's only if we are going to be staying in town.  If my son and I will be away, like this year, I can promise you that there will be no tree up in my home, or decorations.  I actually hate taking them down so much that I have been known to leave them up for far too long, and well, before I get called out by my friends, the tree was left up for 16 months, once upon a time.  This is how much I truly hate putting up and taking down decorations.  However, the hassle is far less on SL and I have been a decorating fool!!!  But who wouldn't be with all the goodies from current events on the grid?!  If you haven't heard, the 2015 Holiday Expo, A Frozen Christmas, a Relay for Life production opened yesterday with 4 sims to wander through and literally 100's of goodies to get your hands on, all for a wonderful cause!  Park Place has three releases for the event, with two of them featured below.

The French Walnut Study collection comes with the Bookcase with Accessories, Desk, Chair, Rug, Desk Lamp, set of two Table Books, and a set of Desk Reference Books and are only available as part of the Silent Auction for the event, so make sure to check out the website and the boards at the location to get all the information.  The fantastically over sized Wood and Linen Ottoman comes in two versions, one with couples and single poses and the other with just single poses, making it perfect for any abode.  The Ottomans are Park Place's exclusive design for the 2015 SL Holiday Expo with all or part of the proceeds going to benefit Relay for Life, so take the tele below and go pick up yours today, and make sure to check out all the other amazing offerings around the sims from some of your favorite designers!

Coffee and Scrabble in the early morn after dreams of Spring

Woke to another morning of the temps in single digits here in the mountains of Arizona I realized I had been dreaming of Cherry and Orange Blossoms, the buzz of the bees and the flowers of Spring.  I think I must have gotten a bit chilled last night and wanted the warmth of the Sun.  I love the Winter, so that isn't really like me, I am usually dreaming of hot cocoa, family, blankets, cuddles and fireplaces, but my brain had other thoughts last night so as the Sun rose this morning I grabbed a cup of coffee and dove straight into creating a post with goodies from the 2015 Holiday Expo - a Relay for Life production, which happens to start TODAY; and a gorgeous new nail release from DaneMarkZ.

Tiffany Designs has released this stunning, over-sized cable knit, jewel embellished sweater, Corina, exclusively for the Holiday Expo with all or part of the proceeds going to Relay for Life.  The sweater comes in a variety of sizes for Mesh and non-Mesh bodies meaning you are sure to find the perfect fit for your shape.  Do yourself a favor and give a little back as we head into the Holiday season and donate to a truly wonderful cause and pick up gorgeous fashion and decor pieces!

I know that finding good nail polishes can be difficult depending on your hands, mesh or nonmesh bodies/nails etc. but I can tell you after over a year of being able to blog the nails from DaneMarkZ you will never be disappointed.  The newest release, Blizzard Douche, exclusively for the current round of Designer Showcase, is beautiful with muted colors sure to accent your favorite outfits this Holiday season, so head on over to the event before the 28th to get your nails, I mean hands, on these!
