It's amazing how the time slides by.... I had the blog as a regular diary entry (well, I nearly did....honest!) and ..... the next thing you know it's weeks later and nothing put in the blog!
The most important thing to note is that Fatima was one of Prim Perfect magazine's Designer of the Month study! YAY Fatima! A worthwhile article, even if it was somewhat culled from her profile... and certainly Fatima deserves all the recognition ... I've never known a harder-working avatar! YOU ROCK, Fatima! Well done love!!
Well, here's what I've been up to the last few weeks.....
- finishing the build of a replica house for a private commission
- doing textures for the new home that Fatima is building for us (it's based on Castle Darroch in Canada)
- making our SL Christmas card and sending that out to all and sundry
- leasing a plot in Caledon Cape Wrath (just south of the beach front) - we're going to put a shop up for Fatima, although if it doesn't work out, we always have somewhere for our "holiday home"....
- chasing up renters (especially shop renters!) about over-primmage, late payment, etc etc....
- dealing with the prospective lessee of a 4096 plot on Desire
- realising that leasing that plot affects the Garden Centre prims so er...... what to do? Fatima's not about, but fortunately we'd already talked about expanding and how to handle it, so
- buying another sim (to be called Fatimas Art) from another resident (saving a whopping US$350 over buying direct from LL! The major difference of course being the addition of VAT, me being a European. So THE MEN IN BLACK SUITS say..... )
Actually the sim purchase was quite fortuitous. I'd gone into the Land Store, with the intention of finding a place and putting in the order; this due to having had no response to an advert placed some time ago on the Land Sales forum of the SL website, asking to buy anyone's sim. Anyway, I had gone through, put the region in the shopping cart, and progressed to the "Givvus yer money mate" page. Having seen the quoted price (including VAT) I winced a bit. And then a bit more. And then some more. So I thought hmm, wonder if anyone's got a sim for sale - would you believe it, 2½ minutes earlier, one had been posted! In with the IM, off to the island, do the deal, enter the support ticket, and Woohoo! Sim number 8 is a-comin' down the line!
- and of course getting ready for my own RL Christmas!
