So here I come....

From time to time you guys know I get overwhelmed. This weekend is looking like one of those times. So instead of waiting to post information I'm just going to post the information and then come back later and add pictures. Since all these are limited time I wanted to get the info out asap. So, here's the info for this weekends going ons... (Now with pictures added.)

Bewitched hair & House of Heart are having an end of Summer hunt. There are 85 + gifts in this hunt. So uhm, yes I'm overwhelmed & grateful. ^.^ You'll want to check this one out before it ends September 2nd. Visit the Bewitched Hair or House of Heart sims and pick some daisies before they are gone. ($0-$1; m/f; 85-90 Lemon Island & Tropical Escape sims)

More after the cut...

This one is totally fun and a little less fashion oriented. You can pick up 3 yukatas for girls and 2 jackets for guys, but the majority of stuff is fun and games with novelty prizes. For example there's a shooting range where if you get a score of 10 or better you win a cute little ufo to drive around in. The Japanese Summer Festival will only be up for a couple more weeks. So if you need to decompress and unwind with a date or a group of friends you may want to take a peak in at this little festival. ($0; m/f; clothes, food, wearable vehicles, pets; http://slurl.com/secondlife/Japan%20Anshinchodama/128/128/2)

I iz OK

Sorry for the somewhat unexpected and prolonged absence. All with me is ok. I'm going to probably have a couple more of these sudden & unexpected absences as my bf's dad's condition worsens and I have to travel to help his mother with family matters. This means during these times I won't be able to post as the laptop I take when flying solo is pretty old and doesn't allow me to render avatars or take pretty pics for you guys. I did receive a lot of notecards so I will post here next time that I'll not be making post for a while. But for now....

I have tons to catch up on and I'll be trying to catch up today and again over the weekend of anything that I have that is current. This post started off at Wig Wam Bam which you'll have to visit two locations to get all three of the $1 items. First at the Amicitia location of Wig Wam Bam (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Amicitia/156/159/27) you'll find a cute sleevless top " Amicitia bleu" then you'll want to tp on over to Wig Wam Bam's Bricolage location (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bricolage/83/96/22) where you'll find another (this is the second frebie skin by Joodle Fadoodle) skin offered up for $1 Kylie which comes with two versions: with or without mask. You'll also be able to snatch up a cute dress "Bleu Rose". (Wig Wam Bam f, skin & clothes $1)

You'll also find a number of outfits that are unisex and many include poses! (Psycho Logic m/f clothing $0; photodome $1 http://slurl.com/secondlife/JapaTown/80/16/22)
