I talked a lot about how excited I am to be part of the SL Christmas Expo again this year in my post of Nov 25th, and to help support its mission this year to fight childhood cancer. Now that this amazing mega-event is finally open, I’m ready to start featuring just a few of the many many amazing items that dozens of dedicated designers have donated to the cause. This year’s theme is Believe In The Magic Of Christmas that’s spread over 8 beautifully designed sims, all making for a great holiday shopping event. But as great as the shopping is (and believe me, it IS definitely great!), there’s so much more to see and do! The Expo will feature special events, including live performances, dance performances, djs, skating parties, a Snowman Building Contest, The Holiday Stockings, The Gift Of Hope Mega Raffles, a Christmas Tree & Wreath Lot, Photos with Santa, holiday raffles and gotchas, the Holiday Of Hope Ball, the Winter Breedables Fair — with several of SL’s top Breedable Creators donating One Of A Kind Breedables to be auctioned, including KittyCatS (as you all know, I’m one of those crazy cat ladies in here!) — and, back by popular demand, the Christmas Bazaar area. And my personal favorite (which you’ll hear more about in a later post), the Lights of Hope Decoration Contest. Open Dec 5th through the 15th, it’s all just waiting for you. More details can be seen HERE.
Dench Designs: The Ice Fountain. Absolutely stunning winter decor for your seasonal landscaping, complete with male, female, friends (x2) & cuddle animations on the bench. In addition to the “base” decor of the frozen fountain, bench, & 3 bare trees strung with white lights, extra decor is also available just by touching the top of the fountain. Add some or all of the following: snowdrops, bushes, squirrel, robin, sparrow, & pheasant. I’ve shown it with EVERYTHING added above, but because it’s equally beautiful in a more stark fashion without it, I showed it below as well without any of the extra decor (used the same animation though lol). You can turn sound on & off for all three birds too! This very special item is a 100% donation to the fight against children’s cancer through Relay for Life at the 2019 SL Christmas Expo, opening today Dec 5th through the 15th. Join the fight! You can find the LM to TP direct to the Dench Designs booth once it’s available in the shopping directory HERE (not yet posted at the time this was published).
