To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow

To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow

I really do find decorating therapeutic...I'm pretty confident that many decor bloggers will tell you the same thing. There is something soothing about putting together a scene and watching it come together based on one simple idea or one piece of furniture. I love how green this scene is - I adore plants and flowers [...]

Paradise by the Poolside Lights

Paradise by the Poolside Lights

I'm not going to be writing a huge amount today.  As some of you know from previous posts my daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's disease last year and hasn't responded very well to the treatments she's had so far. Today is surgery day...she's having a section of her bowel removed. It's a fairly common operation [...]

The Road Less Traveled

Do Blondes Have Their Fun But Brunettes Do it Better?

Do Blondes Have Their Fun But Brunettes Do it Better?

I may swap my hair style several times a day but I do tend to stick with a hair colour in SL for years, even if i do swap it out now and again for a particular look in photos etc I always go back to the same colour. I had a very long Brunette [...]
