Arcade March 2015. My choice!

 The arcade has opened its doors yet again for another great round. There was soo much to choose from that my challenge of one item was so hard. As I said in my last post and for those of you that didn't read it ill give a quick recap.
 My challenge was to pick one creators gacha and blog the one item. Those of you that go to the arcade know that this is one touch challenge and sure enough I did fail, playing a couple of machines rather than just one but not anywhere near as much as I usually do. This is due to me still not having any RL work and money is very tight. Thankfully I have SL.
My best mate who I share land with to have my home for me and my family is sorting my half of the tier out so I can stay. :) so a big Hi5 to Libby and thank you!

Anyway back to my choice of arcade item.. Well, its an item I wasn't expecting to be my choice. I have a lot of fave creators and the items I usually get from the arcade are usually house items or collections of stuff. I actually got this item first time so was ecstatic !

This jacket by Amitomo, comes with a Hud so you can take off or keep on the Fur collar and is available in 5 different colours.
I think the range of colours are great and i just think the detail is great. Something different to put in my wardrobe and you cant go wrong with another jacket to my collection.

Enjoy the arcade everyone... what will your choice be?

What to do..what to do?

What to do? I have no idea what to do, Thats the question.
What do I want to do for a RL job? If I move to be with my partner do I get a job here ..or there .. or find one field based so it doesn't matter too much where I am. Do I want a cup of tea or shall I wait a bit longer? Shall I go have a bath just to waste a bit more time or wait for another hour to go by and then have one?
These are the questions going around my head every day plus about a trillion more. I'm in a real pickle with just what to do and which path to take. Its like I cant make any decisions for some reason of my own at the moment and im just simply... Lost.
Even in SL, now I have my new computer my old trusty Photoshop doesn't work with windows 8 so for now i am having to use Gimp, which I just cant get used to. I cant do epic photos or textures for creations even if I wanted to which is so frustrating.
I then had the great idea of turning this time to master my skills in Blender. I say skills but I am talking basic skills which I then lose patience because what is in my head is not coming out as a 3D model. AHhh  So that's frustrating. Im sure that's happened to a lot of people.
Then when I do finally think actually that doesn't look too bad and want to upload I don't have any lindens to upload it anyway.
So my SL is now limited to what I can do and am often playing Greedy and spending time with the family. Thank goodness kindness and family doesn't cost anything else I would be just stood there watching the pixel clouds float by.
What can I do.. well my blog! no one else can do it for me , I don't need any fancy programmes or patience as thankfully my brain is still functioning enough to blow your minds away with my ramblings and rants of RL and SL.
My blog is meant to be on Tillys choice at events and so forth but as fundage is limited and I don't have sponsors to blog for so im pre warning you that I have no idea what will bestow my blog for the next few months.

 HOWEVER The Arcade is almost upon us and this means I wont be able to resist my shopping urges so I will be going to the event and picking one... just ONE! creators item from the event to buy and blog. Its going to be a huge challenge as I usually end up spending a good 2-3k on collections.

So who will it be.. what will it be.. that's now the question!

The March Arcade.. Tillys Choice!

As i said in the previous post there are many items at the arcade that look amazing. But my choice for this months Arcade are :

Hair: Truth Maiko [blonde 3/ Red]

Im not a great lover of short hair but thought i would try it anyway and im so glad i did. The headphones are awesome and with the flicky hair gives an altogether funky vibe.

[glow] Gatcha Bag Kitten Lovely

I dont usually wear bags in SL. i dont like carrying them in RL so why would i here aswell. However this cute lil bag caught my eye and just finishes my quirky look.

.Birdy. Puggly {Bumble Bee} 

These Pugs are just soooo adorable. Each has a different little outfit ..but which will you get?

And then Finally.. 

-tb- Vintage Camper - Peach

Now this is something that most likely will end up in my inventory after a while but how simply adorable is this camper. Not only does it look great on the outside but inside is just as amazing with the detail to the kitchen and the seating even having animations in. 

In my eyes this is Tillys choice at the arcade.

Also in this pic are other items from the arcade:

-tb- Spring Living - Daisies

-tb- Spring Living - Roses RARE

[ keke ] champagne bubblissimo bucket - gold

::{u.f.o}::tea party with alice - merry go round pink

:pesca:watch bag cat

Intrigue Co. - Plushie Pals

To the arcade... or not but keep trying!

So as the usual arcade madness begins so does the stress of even trying to get to it. I have never managed to get into the sim on the first day but with the nifty sims next to it you can be sure to at least get in there and zoom your camera over to the arcade treasures.
I actually ended up on one sim, flying up to 3000 (yes the arcade is in the air! ) and there I was smack bang next to the pier. So if you get there and can't see it... fly up!
As usual it was filled with items that i didn't necessarily need but purchased anyway... well you just never know right?

So what was Tilly's choice this round? Pics will be uploaded later :)

The Woodland Treasures event is also underway. While it is mostly kids stuff there are a few bits and bobs for adults too and if your like me with a family one item stood out. I will say more on this later too :)

Time to talk about my addiction

After watching my daughter write so many wonderful blogs i decided to rise up to the challenge and let my creative writing side flow.
So here i am , thinking about what i could possibly write about when it dawned on me the choice was obvious.... my addiction to gatcha events
 The bargain heaven for all people in SL. For those with not many lindens in there pockets its ideal, for those who hate sim hopping to shop can find many items in one place and for those shopoholics, like me, who will probably buy something from every gatcha for those just in case moments and store in your inventory.
 So what better time to start this blog with the imminent excitement of the March Arcade event.
The arcade has been going for a while now and brings some great items from jewelry, hair and skins to house furniture, collectables and even kids stuff. So it truly does have something for everybody.
 In my blogs (as you can probably tell from the blog title) i will be picking my top choices of items from each event. For me, gatchas are a great way to see designers you might not yet know about. Who have gone under the radar until events like these.
Not only do we have The Arcade event in March but also The Woodland Treasures event and also Collabor88 starts .. yahooooooo!
Woodland Treasures is a great place for families and kids stuff. So always great little items for my lil' girl. At the last event i even got some cute valentines cards and was totally addicted to Little Sweet Treats which was a cabinet and many well made sweety items to put inside. Definitely worth taking a look at the next one.

Collabor88, while its not a gatcha event, still ticks many many boxes in my eyes. Its still super priced items and again has a variety of items like hair, clothes and house bits and bobs.
