A Haunting We Will Go...

H A L L O W E E N is coming everyone! Who's been thinking about their costumes? I wanted to get a jump start on some and share a couple that have been already out or new releases. I'm really am hoping to find the right house, where they give you full size candy bars! Mmmm chocolate!!! The way to my heart!

Spooks - by Sandra Liatsos

There's a goblin at my window,

A monster by my door.

The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.

There's a ghost who haunts my bedroom,

A witch whose face is green.

They used to be my family,

Till they dressed for Halloween.

It's Autumn Time at Runestone

I love autumn! It doesn't really happen where I live in RL (we have hot, and less hot), so when I stumbled on the Runestone sim, I fell in love with the gorgeous autumn theme. This sim is perfect for taking pictures or just exploring and hanging out with family. The sim is rated M, but I didn't find anything in my adventures to indicate that it wasn't appropriate for kids.

The sim is full of beautiful autumn-like nature, including adorable squirrels, golden leaves, pumpkins and hay-fields. I encourage exploration to find all the gems!

Oh everytime I close my eyes, I see my name in shining lights...

As the warm weather vanishes the pretty autumn colours and hairs are being release. I LOVE Autumn, I'm definitely a beach girl, but Fall holds my heart. It has everything to do with the colours. Right now, I'm ALSO in love with Maitreya's newest release, and I definitely thing you will be too!

...Setting You Free

I'm a bit late in posting this blog again, b/c I lost one of my best friends in life a couple days ago. I wanted to do something cute and somewhat meaning towards her today. Friendships in my life, are like fireflies shining in the night time. They make the darkness become beauty with the light that they shine. We hold the light within ourselves and shine bright for others to see as well. I'm going to miss all the happiness that Jess had brought to myself and others. So I caught these little fireflies and I'm going to look at their amazing gift, but realize I must set them free and remember the beauty that they shared.

Shoutout - To one of my best friends, who I could just be myself around. Even if it was texting her landline phone for 4 hours, making her machine say the funniest things. I love you very much Jess, the world has lost a bit of brightness for many b/c we lost you.

Truth be told I miss you and truth be told I'm lying...

Whatcha Gatcha There???

*Puts a quarter in the gumball machine and turns the handle* ... man I hope I get something good and not pink!!! Woo a radio! *Tries again* woohoo... oh wait a purse, but its got a kitty and suckers in it!!!

So you all love going to the stores & getting those fun prizes in the machines. Looking to see what different ones in there & hope for the best one. I've been hitting up the "Gatcha/Gacha Machines" throughout SL. I wish I had more time, but its still a cute blog!

"Two angels who watch over me...."

It's always a mixed bag of emotions watching people step back from stuff they have built from the ground up & watching them move on to grow and expand themselves.

I am "guest blogging" today, not about clothes or anything like that but about two scribblers who are leaving the blog that have made a HUGE impact on my SL and to talk about how so very important they are to me.

Many of you know Abby & Frannie, some closely and some as acquaintances, in either instance you have been blessed to have these two angels touch your life.

Frannie's Love Thursday

This is a bit of a different blog today. Today i'm not showing you anything you can buy or anything you can do in SL. Today i'm merely telling you something important; Something that means the absolute world to me.

Some of you may know Miss Strawberry Singh started this thing called Love Thursday on Plurk & Flickr quite a while ago and she now blogs it on her own blog. Today i wanted to do a Love Thursday post of my own, and tell you about something i love so very very much.

It's rare that Cosmic Scribbles delves into personal feelings. We've had the odd random special blog about our own SL's and why we started out but that's not very often. It's even rarer we talk openly about RL. You may not want to read this; so i warn you now i'm about to get sopppy :P

Somewhere over the Rainbow

This week we're off to see the wizard as I share with you A Journey through Oz, a build based off the book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, and the popular movie, The Wizard of Oz. The build is interactive, full of great surprises and pretty places and a perfect family outing! The creators, 1daisy Short & Sammi Sosa, deserve many kudos for their hard work. I think the pictures speak for themselves today!

Ahh! Tornado!!

Fishing for Minnows at Glinda's Castle

Are you "Greedy" enough or will you get "Busted?"

Keeping it random and mixing it up a bit with a little tutorial blog today! Even though they already have a help notecard, this way its kinda broken down with pictures. Its a game many already know what to do. But I have been hearing more and more people say they don't know how to play, b/c it looks too confusing for them. I'm going to try my best to help those who are interested in learning this fun game called.. Greedy Greedy!

I'm sure you've seen or at least heard about this game. Its really a lot of fun and is a great thing to do with family and friends. Just don't let it scare you away b/c its really worth to learn how to play. You have the "Greedy Champion" to help you try to understand it. Why I had the "Lowi Wins \o/" gesture made.

PROOF I AM THE GREEDY CHAMPION!!!

------> I got all 1's!!! <------

[21:30] Greedy Greedy Table v1.94 whispers: Lowi Foxtrot has stopped

with 9300 points this round, for a running total of 17200.

(not a lie... picture to prove in post!)

Grey really is an awesome colour!

I am in an exceptionally good mood today & i'm all smiles! So i thought i would brighten your day with some super cute stuff from Wear Grey.

Wear Gray is a gathering of SL designers from across the grid of all styles and genres, coming together for two weeks of fundraising to raise funds to go towards the American Brain Tumor Association to aide in the awareness, research and aiding those that suffer from brain tumours/cancer, for more information about them you can visit http://www.ABTA.org.
The event runs from September - 12th through til the 25th, 2010!  and there are a bunch of kid's stores involved too. One of them being our very own Abby and her store Sassafras

Everyone deserves the chance to fly

The Sun is shining and it's lovely and warm today which is putting a smile on my face. I've been skipping around singing to myself all morning, but i had to stop doing that just for a minute to show you some cute stuff i found.

Since it's pose Thursday once again i wanted to show you all one of th lovely new pose releases from Sweet Moments. I love this store and it's been a while since their last pose release so i ran down to grab this one when it came out.

Have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?

A Glitterific Look of the Day!

I wanted to share this adorable look with you all today! My outfit is one of TEN new releases at Inner Peace this week! Isn't it adorable? I just love the sparkly heart, the prim accessories- sleeves, shirt, bangles, and those adorable shoes with layered socks.
I also love this new hair!  This style from Magika (at the Hair Fair) is so perfect for me - because when I was a RL kid, I always had my hair in my mouth. It reminded me of that terrible habit that it took forever to break, haha! A warning- it does require a little modding to get the hair to fit in the mouth just right.

Bloom in the Ploom

Happy Tuesday everyone! I have a small little LOTD for you with a NEW hair place! I hope your weekend was super fun and for those of you with the Monday off, I hope you had a lot of rest! I ALSO hope that you checked out the hair fair! I went agaain this weekend to grab a few more things to show you all. One of the things I picked up was this super cute hair called  Browns 1 - Crush from Ploom. This was my first venture into the booth since it was not open on Blogger day. The hairs there are so so cute and I even went to check out the main store! Isn't this hair cute though? I love how long it is and the little pins. It is a two coloured hair but it's a really pretty colour!

To top off my awesome hair, I grabbed one of the NEW releases from Candii Kitten called [C*K] Coley Oufit. I just LOVE the boots and it even comes with a super sweet hat! She's got this awesome fall release out that's so warm and cute looking. You definitely need to check it out!!

I hope the rest of your day is amazing and so great! Stay Sweet!

The Fight... Heard Around the World!!!

:: Warning :: Do NOT blame me if you decide to buy this and get in trouble/grounded from your parents. I'm just showing it because SL won't let me on without crashing. My graphics card is seeing the last of its days. So instead of not blogging at all today, I looked to see what I had on my computer. Muahaha... oh yes, a video I made!

*Frying Pan Not Included*

Hair Fair 2010!! We're like a melody with no words...

I was SUPER fortunate to be accepted to attend the Hair Fair Blogger day, the day before it opens (Sept 3rd)! It was pretty lag free and SO overwhelming. There are 4 different sections to it and each section holds a STACK of tents. But don't fret- don't panic you will get through it all. (That's what I said to myself anyway). Remember when you get there to start from the beginning, see everything. You don't wanna miss an awesome hair! Also DON'T go by the names you already know. Explore a little more, try on demos. If you see something you think you may like, no matter the name- Try it on, who knows... it may be your next favourite hair!

Now I've brought you 9 hairs that I fell IN LOVE with. Some are from shops I already love and some from shops I have NEVER heard of. But remember, this is only a tiny sample of what is there. I have a bunch I am holding on to, to show you at a later date when I more or less feature hair shops on Tuesdays. Now the SLURLS I have listed are to the MAINSTORES only, not the hair fair stall. These CANNOT be found at the mainstores yet. I will tell you which section of the fair they are at though.  (Hair from Truth -Minx. Outfit from Bellies and Inner Peace, Glasses from Reek, Makeup Purse- *LMC*)

*WARNING* This is a very lond winded post, full of AWESOME hair and photos!!

Love like Woe

*skips in singing*
You must know by now i love poses, right? ... You didn't know? Really?
Well i do! But it's not just about poses for pictures. I also love furniture with awesome poses. There's nothing better than finding super cute furniture that also has awesome poses built in.

First up i wanted to show you this super cute pose from [BC]Munchkins. Kylei was nice enough to pass it to me and i adore it! It reminds me so much of my RL childhood. I used to get my grandpa to draw my heights on the wall of my grandparents kitchen. I had a little smile on my face when i saw this.

Now the best bit about this post is the fact it's all bright and colourful. See that bedset behind us? That's The McKenzie Bedroom set from Sassafras by our very own talented Abby. It's been out a while now but if you haven't been to look at it you really should 'cause it is truly awesome.
For a pose addict like me nothing beats furniture with lots of sits built in and that's what abby does.

*waves her head around to get the blood flowing again* I shouldn't sit like that for too long. I get dizzy.

Hair here... Hair There.. Hair everywhere!

Hey!! I have an exciting new post for you guys. It may only feature TWO hairs but I have a GREAT little exciting fair announcement at the end!

So first to start, I was happily humming and going through my inventory looking for hair to show you when I came up upon my Tiny Bird collection I have going. I decided to pick two for you that I REALLY like. I'm gonna keep it simple this week, mainly because the next few weeks will be FULL of hair!

G.I. Joes, Stuffies, EZ Bake Oven, Dollies, and more.... Whats in your toy box???

Puts down my crayon and moves my Christmas wish list over to the side. Yup, you heard it Christmas list!!! August 25th was the marking of 4 months to go until CHRISTMAS! I'm trying to prepare early for Santa b/c I plan to be on the good list... uhh somehow! So, in case you don't know what toys are really out there, here's a way to prepare (says in a deep powerful voice) FOR THE FUTURE! You know, like a movie narrator guy would do... Here we go... a blog about some of my favorite TOYS!!! ... breaks into a musical... "I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feeeeeeeel soooo sad!"

When life hands you lemons....

0I say it's time to open a lemonade stand! This week, there's an adorable new release at DORK's, by dork Melodie- it's the most perfect, beautiful Lemonade Stand! You can serve lemonade, sweep up after, and just chill out.

It also includes three adorable crates for sitting with friends to sip lemonade or just hang out together. The texturing on these is exquisite and the detailing is just amazing. I have to give dork major applause for this beautiful build.

Be sure to checkout the cute outfits I found today as well...I hear all of them happen to be on sale for 50L!

Back to School in Style

So this week marked the beginning of the SL school-year for me. I packed my lunch, fixed my own hair and got ready to ride the bus to my new class. I was sooo excited! I love the excitement of going to school again. Now the actual going to class... I think I gotta work on that!

I am in misery, There ain't nobody who can comfort me....

Okay so i'm not actually in misery completly the opposite actually I just love that song :) I hope you all had a wonderful week-end, I can't believe its monday already. Time is just flying so fast I can't keep up with the weeks anymore let alone what day it is! Anyway this week I dug out some adorable furniture pieces from a this little store I found a few weeks back. The store is called Cheap Cheap and its name is so fitting as the furniture here is so cheap.

I’m a yummy tummy funny lucky gummy bear!

Incase you haven't heard, there was a grand opening on the 19th. !Just Kidding! noo... I wasn't joking, the store name is called !Just Kidding!... It opened its doors with 4 different designers: Chloe McMinnar, Skyla Cyannis, Lainey Edenflower, & Lala Riler! (sadly wasn't present for questionaire/picture) They all like long walks on the beach, candle light pb & j sandwich dinners, and drinking root beer!!! ...or not but shhh!!!

Lets get this show on the road b/c I have lots of pictures and things to share! sings more of the gummy bear song first, "Cause I´m a gummy bear. Oh I’m a movin’ groovin’ jammin’ singing gummy bear. Oh yeaoooh!"

Oh it's time again! 50L Friday!!

Hi peoples! Its Friday again! Wow the weeks keep going faster and faster, pretty soon Fall will be here and then Christmas and.... omg.. I almost just had a panic attack!

*whew* It is just August,
Okay back to 50L friday.
It's amazing how many stores are now involved, over 43 this week. After looking at the list, I decided first to visit the new stores and see what they had to offer and also to see what new talent has come to the Kid Community. I was happily impressed.
First place I went was -Dream Doll!

Keep on Smiling & Kidding around :)

Happy Thursday guys. Wow this week is kind of going fast.
I've got lots to show you today. It's been a while since i did a pose post so get ready for some pictures!

I grabbed some of my favourite people to help me blog the poses from Lovely Smiles. It's a great store and has a bunch of unique, super cute poses. Take some time and go check it out. You're guaranteed to find some you like.

This has to be one of my favourite poses. I love it and fits any friends perfectly; whether you're taking a picture with your girl or boy friends. That's one of my besties up there *waves at Aiyden* He's wearing a super cute T-shirt & Visor from Candii Kitten. The boys store there is super cute, and it's always great to see new boys clothes since there aren't that many boys stores that release often.

Anyway you want it, that's the way you need it- Nah Nah Nahhhhh

Gooood Morning lovelies! I've got a super simple but adorable LOTD for you today. As many of you now know, I'm on vacation, so this is following my vacation colourful theme.. thing! I wanted to show you this dress because I LOVE IT! It's CUTE it's perfect for the end of summer and it's so so sweet. BEST OF ALL it's named Riley! That's right! This amazing awesomely named dress can be found at Candii Kitten. It's a full outfit, dress, tee, necklace AND awesomely cute shoes, all in one. To make this dress even more sweet, the little hair lilly is just the perfect little 'thing' for this outfit! Annndd... it's called Riley! haha. To top off this super great LOTD, my very simple and kid friendly Maitreya hair called Maitreya Malou. I'm wearing the Cocoa colour from the Browns pack. It's actually very very kid like. It's medium length, some of the hair is tucked behind your lefy ear and it's just all around a great hair. This is definitely a hair you want to have!

That is all you amazing readers. I'm gonna head back to the beach and just chill. Hope your day is amazing and full of love!

xoxo,
Riles.

Gentlemen... Start Your Engines!!!

*Watches all the race cars go in circles.* VROOOOOM! Woo this is loud!!! ...WHAT? I can't hear you! If you haven't guessed yet, I'm excited b/c I'm at the races, so I wanted to make you guys feel like it too. *waves to the camera*

According to Dolly, race cars are "little thingies that drive around in circles." O.o *listens to the sound of a record scratching* Little thingies??? Faints! So what goes with race car, left turns, and loud cars? Checkered flags! With that being said, *waves the green flag to get this LOTD blog started!*

*waves the checkered flag for Jeff Gordon*

50L Friday- Friday the 13th!!

Happy Friday the 13th! This is good luck Friday, isn't it? Let me tell you, I felt lucky doing my 50L shopping today! There's so so much to find and with so many stores on the list, I didn't make it to all, but here's a sample of the goodness you can find today!

From left to right:

CANDY- Brie

Forever Young- Sammie Fit

American Beagle-Diva in Gold (shoes Strap Sabo Sandals by Sakka)

(Poses from Glitterati)

If i was Crying, You would be the lining of the Cloud to pull me through...

Hi readers and my fellow scribblers,

I've been trying to have a quiet week this week. Alot has been going on and i've been in the mood to snuggle up and chill out so today i'm sharing a LOTD that's refelctive of what i've been wearing irl this week.
The weather's been miserable and cold so snuggling up in my favourite jumpers cheers me up a little! I'm done with summer, i want my favourite autumn weather.

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus

Raise your hand if you love the circus too! There's something amazing about the energy at a circus. The animals, the performers, the clowns and my favorite of all... the peanuts!
This week's family field trip is the circus at Jeaniesing's Things. Here's the best part of this circus... the creator, Jeaniesing Trilling, also sells all her creations so you can take them home and have your own personal circus!
Jeaniesing has made it all- from human cannonballs (kids, trust me, this is SO fun!) to the trapeze, to the tight rope, there's plenty of activities here to give your momma a heart attack!

You say yes, I say no. You say stop, I say go go gooo....

Hey! Happy Tuesday everyone. Hope your weekend was sweet and flowery! I have a weird sort blog for you today, full of just sillyness and one of the reasons I LOVE being a kid in SL!



The BEST thing about being a kid on SL is the sheer roleplaying of it all. It's FUN and it's awesome and I just have a great time being 6! I have been pretty lucky with an amazing family and such wonderful friends. All of which allow me to live a great SL life at the Age of 6. There are SO so many silly things you can do that may be a little much for a regular 6 year old, but in SL anything fun is possible (AS LONG as it's G-rated).

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes....saying AAYYYOOOO!

Ohaaai lufflies <3 I hope you all enjoyed the lovely surprises last week of our two fabulous new scribblers, we're so excited to have them join us and I hope you are aswell :) So to start this week off I've found a few random but adorable little pieces of furniture i've used to decorate one of my new skyboxes, which came from the fabulous Modest House in one of their gatcha's at the gatcha fair.

Peals off my "Hello, my name is Lowi" name tag and slaps it on

Lowi Wins! \o/ Now that I have that covered *smiles innocent* let me introduce myself! :) Jumps up and down... tada! Yay, I'm the other big news this week! Surprise! *starts to shake my booty in excitement*... oh oops I gotta blog... okie clears throat.

My name is Lowi Foxtrot (Low-E). I'm new to the Cosmic Scribbles team. I'll be covering a little big of this... a little bit of that! But I'm hoping to have a main focus on interviewing people who are active in the SL community of kids. Like a store owners, teachers, those who deserve to be spotlighted, random kids... etc. Of course, I'll have my days where I just feel like blogging something else to keep you on your toes. (like when I get into mischief) I'm always looking for crazy funny things to make people laugh and I love getting into trouble. Cuz I got my Daddy wrapped around my finger but shhh, don't tell him. *Hypnotizes my Daddy right now*...you didn't see that! But if you do end up getting in trouble for something, just make sure you don't blame me for getting grounded!!!

I figure I'd do a short interview of myself. So nothing to woohoo, but you at least get to know the person behind Sunday aka Race Day blogs. *Gets out the microphone and tape recorder. Licks my finger and cleans my face*... ok I'm ready for my close up!

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I have a quick LOTD for you! RL is pulling me in all directions and I wanted to make this as simple as possible today :D

Hair: Truth - Sable
Skin: Curio- Cupid
Outfit: CANDY -Tambra


Thats all for today! Enjoy your shopping trip!
Sparkly hugs!!

50L Friday- August 6th

Hi! Frannie here.
Today i figured i would do something different. Usually our 50L blogs cover most of the stores and run through the whole 50L /kids/ list. Today though i thought i would show you some LOTD's created with 50L items from today!
Alot of the items out for sale on fridays are full outfits, and i tend to just throw them on and i look instantly cute; so i thought it was about time i mismatched some of the outfits to create different looks.

Alice the Camel has two humps...so go Alice go! (Zoo Neunkirchen)

*Swivels in chair and grins widely* Hello dearies! I get to share part of the exciting news that Riley and Frannie have hinted about... and part of that news is ME! I’ll be joining this group of delightful girlies every Wednesday. *bounces a little* In case you cannot tell, I am very excited!
I’ve love to explore and find amazing places and now I get to share the fabulous kid and family friendly places I discover with you.  I also have my own strange sense of style which I’ll give you a taste of each week as well. A little about me, I just love pink sparkly things along with anything bright and colorful. I’ll wear dresses, but I don’t mind jumping in puddles while wearing them. Momma tends to yell at me about that! I'm pretty shy and a total geek, but I love to be silly around those who I know well.
This week I went to one of the coolest places I’ve been in a while. A ZOO!

I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did, as long as you love me..

*twiddles her thumbs and fidgets* We have a bigg secret for you guys... and a surprise and I'm SO excited to tell you... but I'm gonna let some one else spill the beans. *sits on her hands*

HAPPY TUESDAY! I have a fun post today, just a basic LOTD but it's got a few of the fun pieces and my FAVE hair today!

I love love this hair I dunno why, it's just super cute. It's called Tabitha from TRUTH. I love the side pony and the head band. The headband is awesome because it's colour change so I wear it a lot because it matches everything! And it comes streaked with crazy colours! Now, I actually want to point out the skin for a second. It's Mynerva and SO cute. I love Mynerva skins, they're perfectly adorable and SO childlike. There are VERY few high quality skins for children out and this is probably one of the best. The one I am wearing is  ~Vanilla~Dolly Dots OUCH2! Brown Brows. It's typical me. Ouchies and bandaids since I run into EVERYTHING. I have habit of flying into the sides of buildings. She's got a few different skins in the packs too. A normal one, one with tears, one with scrapes on the knees and the one I have on with the bandaid on the face. They SO so great!

For acessories I have on a Custom necklace from Laciecakes- *LC* E (SS) - Custom Heart Necklace (Riley). Which is JUST got in time for the blog and I love looove it so so much! In my mouth I have one of the Gacha prizes from my store Inner Peace- Inner PeaceTwilight Key and Chain Mouthie (Jasper). ( I LOVE Jasper eeep). For my awesome tee, since Mama calls me Bossy- CCC Little Miss Bossy Tee from CCC! For my amaaazing skirt, I have on *BB* ILoVePiNk Denim skirt from Babydoll's Boutique. It's my faveee skirt! Lastly, my amaaazing feet called SLink Barefeet Beady for Kids! I always have them on, I looove love them! I've had a few people ask me where my shape is from. It's actually a custom, however it's done by a great shape maker who has a super cute little shop over at Emmet. Lorelei McCallen makes some SUPER cute shapes and I definitely think they're great! Her shop is called  Lore's Shapes and if you're looking for a cute new shape, you should definitely check her shop out. She does customs too if you're looking for something unique!




That is it! Hope your day is sweet and fun!

Love yoooou! xoxoxo,
Riley Sapphire

Kids, Kids, Kids Everywhere!! Kids 50L Friday!

It doesn't take long for a week to pass anymore. Before you know it Kids 50L is here again!  This week there were a ton of stores. I didn't buy everything, but I tried to get as much as possible. I wanted to be able to show you guys what is all out there.  Sooo I am going to stop rambling and get on with it :)

1. Baby Couture: Kylei had a really cute orange sundress with a hat- First set picture 1

Gatcha Gatcha Gatchaaa

Gatcha machines are my sworn enemy! I get addicted to them; So you can bet where i was yesterday. Yep, I ran straight to the ALBERO Summer Gatcha Festival.

A whole area filled with those awesome pot luck machines.... I was in heaven. I dragged Abby and Jamie along with me and we left with our arms full of awesome stuff and our piggy banks slightly emptier.

I'm going to show you some of my favourite finds from the festival; but you don't want to listen to me so i'm just going to throw the pictures out there!

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, I could really use a wish right now.

Happy Tuesday Scribble readers! Hope your day is wonderful and bright! I have a new hair place for you guys, one I haven't shown you all yet. I'm soooo excited about them! It's a place I haven't really ventured into in a while and although they may not have like total kid friendly hair, the hair they DO have is SO cute.

It's Carnival timeeeeee!!

So i've only -just- realised its actually monday, I kinda fail right? Anyway today i've snuck in abby's regular spot to tell you all about this awesome carnival that has been organised by the lovely Ms Jemima Clowes! Its called the Unwanted Kids Carnival & Bazaar and its jam packed with some of the cutest stores, many of which have exclusive carnival items aswell as much more and everything should be under $50 :)

So you want to be adopted...

I was directed to a very interesting blog post by Camryn Fouroux  about a child avi's first experience at looking into being adopted.  I feel for Ms Camryn and understand her being uncomfortable with the whole process. It is scary and yes seems weird at first.  When you walk into an adoption agency its like WOAH!  You are almost immediately IMd by not just one, but usually a few people asking you if you have a family, do you want a family, how old you are... etc.  It is so very overwhelming.  So I thought I would give you future kid's and parents a little insight as to what to look for, what to expect and so on.. Well at least from my point of view.

Adoption agencies seem so confusing and scary.. there are all these kids and adults alike just wandering around, you see panels all over the wall of what seems like a million kids and a million adults. But you really want to give it a try.   First of all. A parent usually is not allowed to ask a child if they can adopt them and then tp them to their house. At MAW it is defintely not allowed. Its for your own good really. I will be the first to admit there are pervs out there. I myself was tpd one time when I was all new to this myself, and asked to be a child escourt. It freaked me out so bad, I almost left SL.   So if someone wants to talk to you about them being your parents, make sure you ask them to see their adoption panel. 


Okay first step, you make your panel, which you will include your application. When you fill your application out, be as honest as you can, and make sure you put in there anything and everything you can think of, that you want from a family. What you feel you need as a child, what you want out of them. There are lots of questions in the applications, fill it out as completely as you can. 

After you have made your panel, its time to go look at the parent panels.  Each of the parent panels have nc's in them too. which tells what they would like from a child avatar. Be choosy, take your time.

I will tell you what I think is best to look for when you are looking through the parent panels.
I really would want to find parents that were more than a few days old. I would want them to already have a place to call home. Wealth wouldn't matter to me at all.  I think you should IM them before you click like, see how they react-explain to them you like their panel but wanted to say hi before you actually clicked the like option.  You ask them questions when you IM, and decide they are someone that you really like, so you take a deep breathe and click the like option, and all the sudden the hover text above your panel turns red. They had clicked like on your panel already, and you have matched.   They IM you again, saying well looks like we are matched, and they tp to see you.  Now here is the tricky part.. do you automatically go with them, or do you want to just hang out before you go see your *new* house.  I really think it depends on how you feel when you see them, how you guys hit it off.. stay at the agency a little while, talk and then decide.

If I could be princess for a day...

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your lovely weekends! Today I am bringing you a quick but lovely LOTD (xs 2!) I popped on and got my big sissy Lishi into a gown for you all! And of course, I got into one too. I also wanted to show you Fri.day's newest hair release, they're SO pretty, you'll love them.

I really want to be able to blog all the stores in 50L. I love to support my fellow designers and creators. But I really can't search out your item, nor can I blog it if its not there. I start really early in the morning. If you want, send me your ad of what you are putting out for the week. It will help me a lot to get a jump start too.

Thats it for this week! I hope you all have a really nice weekend. And check back. I am working on one of my long winded editorials about starting out as a child avi and SL adoption.

Keep Playing! <33

Back to School!

Wow...It's almost time for school to begin again! We've had fun weeks of camp and hanging out, but school is fast approaching.
Cindy Lu, the fab owner of Gigglebox put together a Back 2 School Hunt which started on the 20th of July! It runs until 20th of August and is a circular hunt, so you just grab the gift and hop along to the next LM and hunt some more. It includes some awesome stores and i'm just going to run through a few of the items today.

When I saw you over there, I didn’t mean to stare But my mind was everywhere, I wanna know you...

*sighs and sits on her bed after an amazing and not long enough week at Camp* I dug into my inventory and picked a sweet hair store and a few styles I've had for a long time! Even better, I went BLONDE to show you them!

This Time is our Time...

* Yaaawns* I am so tired today. Certain people keep keeping me awake all night at camp.

It's been so much fun so far at Camp Hardknock, and we're at the middle of the week. Closing ceremonies are only a few days away on Sunday. Now, i'll admit at Winter Camp, which was my frist time, i didn't enjoy myself that much and felt quite lonely alot of the time. But this Summer has been so much fun. It's been none stop giggles and running around for me; and luckily i havent even come across any camp drama. Phew!

Don't forget your sunblock!!

Hey Happy Campers and AMAZING readers!


I too, just like abby and the rest of the scribblers, am at camp! It's been amazing fun, and you saw the first pieces of our lovely first few days from Abby, and I'm going to show my favourite part of camp... friends! I think friends make SUCH an amazing experience at camp. All the fun memories and the laughs and the SILLY photos and contests *coughs*, all these experiences you share with your friends, you won't forget! This is my second time at camp and I am absolutely loving it and I've made some new friends and of course, spent time with my awesome older friends! I feel it's so so important to set aside al the drama all the disliking and just have fun!

I grabbed my big sister Lishi, Rory, Heath, Lillia and Caesey to help me out with todays... collective LOTD! So there really is something for everyone in this post (boys included).

Summer girls

Lots of pictures guys. So wait a lil while for it to completely load.

Hi Everyone! I have a little bit of a different post today. I am blogging from camp. Because we aren't SUPPOSED to leave. So I have gathered some pictures up and some friends and decided to just tell you some of the stuff been going on these first couple of days, along with not one, but 3 LOTD's thanks to my friends Frannie and Chloe.

Camp started off at the Hard Knock Train Station....

~Picture taken by Jaqueline Pinkney

The train station was neat, I didn't get a lot of pictures cause I was too nervous about going through security.. Mr Harrison checked my back pack for contra band.. that is so silly.. like anyone could actually fit a whole band in their back packs? *rolls my eyes*  He did find my chocolate cake I was trying to sneak into camp that my Mami Katey made for me. He took it.. HAHA he has no idea that my Mami can't even boil water. I sure hope he enjoyed it!

After we got off the train we went to our cabin's. The lag was bad, but I don't think it was bad as it has been before. The day was kind of quiet because so much to do setting up and getting to know your cabin mates. My cabin is awesome the girls are fantastic. We even one the very first Cabin wars!! GO CABIN 2!!

After we were settled, me and Lizzie went for a walk and seen this wonderful boat. We just had to sit in it, and sitting there I noticed the keys were in it. Sooo after looking around to make sure no one was around.. I mean no adult could take us out for a ride. Lizzie had the idea of me driving the boat and taking ourselves for a ride. So I cranked it up and the next thing I knew we were flying through the water. It was so much fun.. although, I almost busted up my cabin, luckily we were able to get it parked and sneak.. err run.. er I mean go back to the cabin with our lives.

After such a busy day I was so sleepy. So I climbed into my bunk for a long nights sleep. But sheesh while I was asleep, the girls really pranked the boys good.. what I mess, I was shown some pictures of it this morning! HAHA I am so sorry I missed this one.

I went to peek this morning with Chloe, Frannie and Caitlyn to see if any of the mess was still there.. but nope, all I found was a drooling Heath.. shhh don't tell him.
