Breathing a sigh of relief + progress report

I finally finished off my GoS Secret Santa gift and sent it off. It was a little late, but I notified my giftee and they were very nice about it. I kept running into snags (I started over one of the items about a billions times! *mild exaggeration*) and finding flaws in the work. It was fun to be involved, but I also found it pretty stressful, wondering if I was creating enough, if the person would really like it, and if it was well made. In the end, I was happy enough with it. I hope my giftee feels the same way. 

I'd also to thank the person who posted the nice simsecret about Strangetown, Here We Come this week. It's very heartening to hear that people are still interested and waiting to read more, even after such a long gap in posting. Now that I've gotten my frantic cc creation clued up, I can continue with my work on the next post. Thanks to everyone who has been reading the story in the meantime!




I'll leave you with this sneak peak of a scene from the next installment.

I loved it!

You had no worry there, it was an absolutely fantastic gift and there was so darned ~much~ of it. I felt utterly spoiled!

I did share in the appropriate thread (http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=19649.msg509130#msg509130) over at GoS.

I'm so glad to hear that! ^_^ I definitely erred on the side of too much stuff, because it seems like people give more and more stuff all the time (and if I missed the mark with any of the items, then at least you'd have a lot to pick from)! I hope you'll have a lot of fun with it. I love your taste in colours, so I'll be getting a lot of use out of those recolours, too.

And thanks again for your patience! I was having a hell of a time with a couple of the items. :P

That's great! CC is meant to be shared. Thanks for letting me know.
