Dear Diary:
Here it is!! On the brink of another year!! 2013 already!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I'm so lucky and so grateful for the loving family I have; for the wonderful friends I have in both my worlds; and, for the people who read my rantings and ravings.
My wish for all of you is a happy, healthy and peaceful year wherever we are, whatever world we're in, however we choose to live it.
Good Night for now.

Well, this is the end of Luna's Colour Challenge Part Deux and I'm very sad that it's finished. It's been so much fun looking for the obscure colour, putting together a great outfit, and emptying my bank account for just the right thing. I'll certainly miss this every week.
So far there doesn't seem to be any plans for a new Challenge but I'm hoping Luna will have an epiphany and decide to do another Challenge soon, colour or not.
Good Night for now.

Sometimes the names of colours for the Challenge just blow me away! Where do they come from anyway? Is this really the name of a colour? So I just had to find out about this name. I did learn that Madder Lake is a "bluish red, transparent pigment produced from alizarin red. It's used to make stains and inks and as a component of artists' oil colours". So it is really a colour-name and I love it! The colour is very festive and perfect for the beginning of holiday parties.
I also found out that Madder Lake was an Australian band from the '70's. Hear them here. Nice peppy music just like the colour.
Good Night for now.

I've had another great week of enjoying my finds at the Advent Calendars I've chosen to follow this year.
The Christmas scene from Dreamscape's Art Gallery contains everything [and more] that could be found in my living room. The chair has 18 different sitting animations for male or female. Assorted "pets", including a little grey mouse, provide company. The Santa hat over the chair shows who has been visiting the house. A great set to take some Christmas pictures.
The lingerie I'm wearing has been discreetly covered by my position but the jewelry shines through. My inventory is growing drastically each day.
Good Night for now.

Dear Diary:
The colour for the Challenge this week is one of my favourites. I have lots of this colour in my closet in both my worlds. So, in the spirit of the holiday season, I had to dress up. Gold jewelry is also a favourite and I only wish I had more of that. Of course, "gold" is often quoted in many profound sayings so here are a few:
"Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer"
[Muhammad Ali]
"Wisdom is better than silver or gold"
[Bob Marley lyrics]
"An inch of time cannot be bought with an inch of gold"
[Chinese Proverb]
And my favourite quote -
"You may have a heart of gold -- but so does a hard-boiled egg!"
[Unknown]
Good Night for now.

Dear Diary:
At this time of year, I enjoy picking a couple of Advent Calendars to follow. This year I started with the Mint Tulip sim. In that shopping mall, there are four stores participating - Exposeur, Alice Project, Elymode and Perception. Exposeur has given out poses, for male and female, with mirrored versions too. If you collect all the gifts from Elymode, you'll have a complete outfit, along with some makeup. Alice Project and Perception have given out cute jewelry, along with other gifts.
Then I flew over to the KittyCats Winterland Calendar. They have items from a variety of designers who are gifting impressive presents. The Calendar is right at the landing point and you can retrieve back days too.
The other morning I received a notice that Cleom Bailey, of Just my Imagination has an Advent Calendar in the store also so I had to pick up the cute and often unusual gifts there as well.
Here are a few items from just a couple of days:
It's always fun to open a present to see what's inside. I found some really interesting things. Take a look on your travels.
Good Night for now.

Dear Diary:
Pink - any shade of - is not my favourite colour. But I do like cotton candy.
I always loved going to the circus when I was young. Not because I enjoyed the animals or the rides but because I got to eat cotton candy. I liked to watch when the coloured sugar was added to the container, the machine started whirling around, and finally the sugar was spun into a pink airy piece of fluff that I picked away at. Then my Mom would make me brush my teeth extra long when I got home.
Good Night for now.
