I am squeezing in another quick post as I already had the picture and credits done. I have only one other post completed except I’m not entirely sure if and when I will post it. For sure after the Christmas weekend I will focus on posting anything left undone.
Though if I don’t get around to doing anything before Christmas, I want to take this time and wish everyone a blessed and wonderful Christmas.
DaD Designs is participating in this new round of Lost & Found with their “Music is Life” gacha set. I’ve detailed all the items below that are included in the picture, but not necessarily everything that makes up the gacha. I think there are a few other items that I didn’t use. The chairs are either pg or adult, and come in two different colors. The other items that I am featuring are the stars on the wall by Una and are available at this new round of Shiny Shabby.

I can’t decide if I want to be in awe of the falling snow or I’m about to take a tumble for being on a slippery iced bridge. The pose I’m on is actually more towards the middle of the bridge. I did some major adjusting to be able to show the Christmas outfit by Q’s Quties that lil me is wearing. It is available at the All The Little Things.
The snowy bridge, bench, snowman and sign are all part of a Winter Wonderland gacha from Buglets at the Playroom that just opened yesterday. They are miniature size for the toddleedoo and all the pieces are great for setting up a winter wonderland for the little ones.

Sometimes I have so much to say and other days like now I sit here waiting for the words to flow and nothing comes out. It’s not like my mind is totally blank. In fact my mind is racing with too many thoughts floating around in there… like what do I need to get done today to where did this year go? It will be dad’s birthday in a few days and I’m no longer near to take flowers to his grave site.
Then there is a ping beside me letting me know there is a text on my phone and a good reminder to get out of my thoughts.
Some more awesome winter trees by Little Branch out now at FaMESHed. The gazebo is by Dysfunctional Designs as well as the whimsical umbrella that is texture changeable by touch and both can be found at the main store.

Today All The Little Things opens and here are some cute things from Happy Puppy. The carousel is the rare item in the set of carousels that on touch turn. The ladybug is a gift at the event, so make sure you go grab yours. Lil me is also wearing a kitty hat by Buglets that is at this round of Hello Beautiful.
The pose is also at the All The Little Things event, and is for toddleedoos though as you can see it worked just fine for me.

The Tannenbaum Holiday Market opens today with lots of Christmas goodies for you to enjoy and decorate your home with. I’m featuring a bunch of Christmas items from Jian available at this event. The wreaths in all shapes and forms, candles under the fireplace, decorative tree baubles, paintings and the serving cart. The wreaths are texture change, which is something I totally love to give you a mixture of choices to decorate with.
The sofa and chair are by DaD Design and are available at Lost & Found. They come in both pg and adult version and are texture change as well. I left them in two different textures to show you at least two possible choices. The decorative wall ladder is also by DaD Design and available at the Fantasy Collective.
Also showing some Christmas items by [CIRCA] at the Thrift Shop that is open only a few more days. The ball candles on either side of the fire place and then berry tree planter and twig bucket.
Then unKindness has released some new items for Lost & Found. I’m only showing one item of the set that I fit into this decor. The battered old hatstand with the winter scarf, but make sure you go check out the rest.
Last, but definitely not least is the pose by Buglets that little me is using is the best gift. I know right? I am. It is part of a gacha set at the Everything Kids Gacha.

If you haven’t gotten your Thanksgiving meal head over to Aphrodite Shops and check out their Thanksgiving Buffet. Everything you need to make this day a special one with your SL family. I’m also showing Aria’s release for the Tannenbaum Holiday Market. The Myrrh vintage tree decor is absolutely lovely and what a fun way to enjoy the season by decorating a tree to your liking. Mine is a miniature version for table decor, but the decorations are for any size tree as they can be stretched.
I’ve been pondering life a lot lately and part of that assessment is being grateful for the many blessings that I still have in my life. It’s so easy to forget at times and especially when we go through bad periods in our life that it can overshadow all the good.
I’ve shared the last year has not been one of my greatest and yet despite all the days of stress and often times even depressing ones I am still grateful for many things in life. I have family and friends that love and support me even if they don’t understand every thing that is going on or able to help. They accept and love me for who I am. I know they are there and for that alone I am thankful.
I have my health, especially my sanity in this crazy chaotic world where it seems there is more insanity abound than ever.
I’m thankful to all my followers and readers that let me share bits and pieces of Second Life through the creations that are shared with me to show the beauty of this virtual world. I’m also thankful that you allow me to share my personal thoughts of my real world as an outlet for expression.
So what are you thankful for?

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building the new.” ~ Socrates
I was going to wait and post this picture until after Thanksgiving, but this morning I woke up and my room was quite chilly. I’m used to warm weather during this time of year so it’s a bit of a shock to the system to feel the chill in the air. This means I’ll be trading in my flimsy thin nightwear for those plaid flannel pajamas very soon along with warm fuzzy socks.
Moving further up the state has been a bit of a culture shock as well and something that I am not adjusting to too well. While a lovely scenic city with a lot of lushness greenery and some massive oak trees and bald cypress with Spanish moss it still feels a bit antiquated.
Change is hard and it’s something that I’m experiencing at a faster rate these days in just about every area of my life. Some changes are not very pleasant as I just learned this past week, though I know overcoming these periods makes you stronger. Improvement can’t happen without change and so embracing it means you learn and grow as you turn the directional path from the one you’re used to. It brings new beginnings as you turn the page and strengthens you for the next chapter in your life.
I put together the following scene just for fun using some more Christmas decor by Shutter Field and the newest trees by Little Branch, so check out the details below.
I think it just might be symbolic of changing the landscape from one season to another.
