Packages to the Wrapping Station

As much as I love spending countless hours watching all sorts of different unboxing videos, I will also admit that I'm more than a little addicted to browsing through e-Bay and Etsy to find the perfect, random, pretty items as gifts for friends and family. I mean it's almost August and therefore I should be getting on with my Christmas shopping. I'm making something very special for a special someone that I need to send out super early!!!! 
I know it sounds silly, but I loveeeeeeeee the idea of having a wrapping station set up in my home.

I love giving gifts. Christmasses and Birthdays in my house see people getting very spoilt. I love to buy gifts for everyone, at Christmas I fill stockings for my family and love nothing more than watching them expose all of the surprises! 
Though one of my least favourite things is scrabbling around trying to wrap the gifts. I LOVE wrapping but would much rather have a table set up just for wrapping. If I had room and money I'd have a set up like this lol... Lots of wrappings, ribbons and labels - like the things from Second Spaces - I'd also have a special stash of packing 'peanuts' to make sure that I could make any Special Delivery - like the packaging from Krescendo. 

What is in the picture;
Box & Packaging: [Krescendo] - Special Delivery Set
Coral Bottles: {vespertine} - Sea Side Coral Trinket Bottles
Wall Hanging Organizer: crate - Homemade Craft Center

Flowers are good for the soul...

It's been so busy with the horrific recently that I wanted to take another little break, dance around and say WOOT WOOT... It is time for me to step back, relax a little and blog some of the other pretties that I've amassed LOL... I have never been so busy with an event before LOL... We're changing Horror Haute, I mentioned that but now I'm suddenly dealing with 20 new bloggers LOL... So please bare that in mind if I start to seem like I am drowning hehe...
I wanted to share something a little peaceful, a little calming and maybe a little feminine...
Spring is very much upon us and flowers are dominant in nature, but their little bursts of colour are often fairly relaxing to me and so sometimes, when I want to take a break in my SL, that is why you will find me playing with photography that involves flowers hehe...

This picture is a prime example of that... As soon as I saw the Un Jour Reverie flowers at The Fantasy Collective this month I HAD to have one, even just for the off chance that I would be wanting to create a photo just like this...
I wore the flower along with a gorgeous BananaN Skeleton Key Necklace - which I have shown off before - and a simple and Oh-so-cute Moony Septum Piercing from The Horror - which I have not.
It just radiates pretty simplicity... It shows that peace I am now allowing myself to feel, and to be honest after the stresses and dramas of this past few weeks I needed something like this to help heal my soul...
Flowers... Good for the soul...

Spring starts with a Solar Eclipse

The calm comes after the storm... Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day... My Birthday was filled with RL visitors, more than a little exciting trips out to Birthday Surprises and a failed attempt at a SL Birthday Party - lol the planner was stuck in RL and no one else knew what was going on hehe...
So today little old me decided it was time to take the weight off my feet, to curl up somewhere cosy, and wait for the Solar Eclipse that is supposed to be happening today at about 9.30ish - in my RL time zone. Not that I will get to see it, because it's cloudy as all hell in RL, but I might go try to see if I can see anything... You never know!
In SL the skies are always clear - if you want them to be of course - so I found the perfect place to park my butt, look to the sky as the Lunar Eclipse was taking place and enjoy the first "official" day of Spring!

The spot I found was on the Gators MC Sim... Home in other words... Although it was missing something. Then a Consignment Package fell from the sky, as if by magic - or perhaps a passing bluebird hehe. Mr Haller has created this AMAZING set called Bluebird for this month's Collabor88. It features pieces like the star shaped firepit, the trellis complete with ivy and lights and the adorable Bluebird Caravan! This set is brilliant, you can use it with or without the ivy, and the lights turn on and off, the soft furnishings can all be changed to fit your personal colour taste and the poses make for a really relaxing feeling. I cannot gush about this set enough, I LOVE IT!!
I'm also pretty fond of this outfit, and I will admit that it was one that I had no idea where it was going when I started getting dressed, but I am glad that it turned out to be so cute!
The pants are a past event release from Sn@tch - possibly Wednesday something or other? I'm not entirely sure anymore LOL - but they are Circus Jeans in such bright contrasting colours that I was drawn to them. I had no idea what I would wear with them, all I knew was that I needed to have them LOL... I kept the rest of the outfit fairly neutral with a Chambers Shirt from Razor and a pair of comfy stomper boots from A&Y called Deuz. The necklace metal colour matches perfectly, and was such a pretty gift from a friend, that had come from the BananaN gacha, I couldn't resist wearing it.
The other thing that needs to be discussed, that I am loving, is the new Spellbound hair called Sweetsleep. Gotta love Spellbound hair, I'm glad to see a new style from her after so long...
Isn't relaxing lovely?! I missed the eclipse, but the weather was bad, still at least I have a new place to chillax and something pretty to wear right?!

March 19th... MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!! 

I'm getting just a year older, and no signs of being wiser yet, but I have had some HUGE surprises today... My Hubby spoilt me rotten and gave me something that I have been begging for, for a long time now and he has always said no to, and I cannot wait until I can introduce her to the world. 
In SL, I was told I had to dress like a fairytale being and get ready for a PARTY!!!

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE TO PLAY DRESS UP!!!!
I found an amazing location to take a photo of my fantasy being, and no doubt I will be going back here time and time again. 
I became a Birthday Cake Frosting Fairy... 
I wore an outfit from dollle* called Melting Paint, but for this purpose I am going to say it's cake icing! The wings I had seemed to match it perfectly, and I LOVE these seriously pretty girlie wings from DRD. I have candles and frosting in my horns - from The Plastik - and Birthday Decorated Bunny Ears - from Half-Deer, as well as plenty of pretty accessories and tattoos... I LOVE this look, it might have a close up later but for now...
