Ok, so I figured I’d keep the freebie Holiday Skins up until Jan 1st. Not sure what time I’ll delete them from the shop, but sometime on the 1st when I’m recovered from tonight!

Onto group news! If you’d like to continue to receive Nyte’N'Day related news please join the group named “Nyte’N'Day Updates”. The Couture Isle Update Group is closing tomorrow. Since the sim that houses Nyte’N'Day is no longer Couture Isle, it just doesn’t make sense to keep the group name.

Lastly! Have a happy and safe New Year everyone!

WOOT! It just officially turned Christmas here! :) Merry Christmas everyone! Hope it’s a good one!

Ooooh! Before I go, gotta tell this story!

So here I am, self-banished to a room wrapping presents and I hear sirens. Whatever time passes, still wrapping (doing a lousy job too), still hear the sirens. I think “Wow what an asshole…whoever that is they’re chasing. It’s Christmas!”. 5 mins later STILL sirens.

Ok. Time to investigate. So me, sister, sisters boy go outside to check what’s happenin. JUST in time to see a firetruck…decorated with Christmas lights ALL over it, BLASTING Christmas music. Santa and Ms. Claus were on the top, spotlight on em, waving to everyone! Then, after that, cop car with all his lights & siren on! Then cop van, all his lights on, siren!

It was really neat! I’m sure all the kids in my town thought it was the THE coolest thing they’d ever seen.

It was a nice thing the cops/firefighters/ambulance people did. It made us all smile. It’s heartwarming that a group that already does *so* much for society as a whole did this too.

Hi Guys! :)

Just wanted to leave a quick note that I’ll be mostly offline until the 1st. I will still be able to login sporadically to answer IMs. Please be aware responses will be much slower then normal.

I’ll also be taking the freebie “Holiday Skins” offline sometime on the 26th. Make sure to stop by and grab em if you want em!

Also a cute poster I made for the store recently…

Hope you’re all having a great holiday season so far! :)

Is it just me… or do people seem extra uptight lately? Just in the last week or so. I mean, people just bitching because they can, or being rude where it’s just totally not necessary, impatient…etc. Now don’t take my words wrong, the vast majority of you are great to deal with! :) However, the crankypants seem to REALLY be coming out lately. Even some of the customer service reps *waves at you guys* have been noticing a spike in general spazzyness. If we’re experiencing this - others must be!

So here’s my official public notice to the angries:

Be nice to us designers. We’re not evil. We never have set out to “get you”. We don’t purposely do things to make you mad. Quite the opposite in fact! I always try to keep the consumer in mind. Always. I think the majority of larger SL retailers do. Things we do or don’t do, generally are chosen by what we THINK will make the majority happiest as possible. Anyway I kinda went off on a tangent there. The bottom line is: when you’re dealing with people please just try to be respectful. It’s a stressful time of year, so while I understand being grouchy, it’s just really not needed.

THAT being said. Lemme address something:

I know no transfer sucks in gift giving times! Really, I KNOW…I’ve heard, LOTS! lol. However, I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible, within SL’s limits, to still give gifts. There are gift card vendors located through-out my in world shop. Gift cards are transferable.

However if you’d like specific items sent to an avatar, you can shop through SLX or On Rez. The majority of the older items on those sites are still transferable. Oh, and they come in pretty gift bags!

So those are the options for gifts. No, I will not budge on the permissions of my items. Those that still insist on asking - you will get the same spiel. :) For the reason’s why Nyte’N'Day is no transfer please refer to this blog post.

Ok I’m done! Whew.

:)
