Hey @KaytayRoall 
I am a little nervous so please bear with me. Words cannot express how happy I was when @tanubanue revealed that I would be gifting for you. When I looked over your letter, I was instantly coming up with so many ideas that in the end, I had to settle for only some of my favourite ideas and hopefully you will enjoy your gifts as much as I have enjoyed making them for you.
As you can see from the many posts that I have made that I have a quite few gifts for you but sadly time was not on my side and so, I will be gifting over the next couple of days. I really wanted to get something uploaded for you today though and so I have chosen to present you with one of the smaller gifts.
Gift One: Shiro Kitsune
Shiro Kitsune was on a very important hunt, a hunt that would start one very snowy morning.
Almost buried in snow and shivering slightly due to the snow fall, Shiro began the long track. Shiro knew that once he had caught his prey, it would be worth getting cold and wet for.. because after all, he was a proud hunter and hunters do not take snow days.
For hours Shiro had travelled with hopes of finding the prefect hunt, sure he fount a squeaky bone here and there but after searching for many hours he had finally fount what he had been searching for.
Shiro was happy, the hunt had really paid off. His fur was still wet and cold from the snow but Shiro didn't mind because he was too busy playing with his new toy
Shiro could not have been happier and as he lay on his back clutching his new toy, he was feeling hopeful that maybe someday a sim would find him the way that he fount his toy because after all, Love doesn't take snow days.

Gift Two: Starla Flutterby
Starla Flutterby wasn't like the other horses, she knew she was special. It wasn't that she was a unicorn that had actually made her special and it wasn't the butterfly marking that covered her face either. Although, I suppose that did contribute, what actually made Starla special was her personality and her photogenic talent. (Or so, she's been told...countless times.)
Yes, Starla was very special whenever she was caught smiling at the camera.
Which Starla did quiet often, especially when she was kicking her legs in the air and nay'ing.
But underneath the pretty smiles and her clueless, friendly personality, is a shy little foal who was terribly lonely and in search of a loving home.
.......
I know..I know, I need to stop with the sad tales but I'm merely a pawn in all of this..I don't have the power to change their fate. So accept this extra picture as an apology..oh and hmm her fur colour is a tricky one..I would say she looks more like a mushroom colour..but in some lighting she looks more like a steel grey so I'm not actually 100% in the shade.
Starla Flutterby - Shy, Clueless and Friendly. I also noticed that she's got a fourth trait - Noisy (Trained) I'm not sure how that happened so it may or may not transfer into your game but I wanted to let you know...just in case. I don't play pets very often.
Gift Three: Gabriella Vinetwist
Gabriella Vinetwist had always had dreams, some realistic and some not so realistic but she had always been a dreamer. The one dream that had always seemed to haunt Gabriella was her dream of going to university to study the fine arts of Photography. It had been a dream that had consumed pretty much most of her life. Gabrielle thought of Photography as such a timeless masterpiece, one that could capture not only expression within the lens but also the emotion, she had been somewhat enthralled when she stumbled across a stack of photographs as a child and now as a young adult, Gabrielle was just that one step closer to living her dream.
Although Gabriella was fascinated with Photography, she also enjoyed art, horse riding and playing the violin.
After a couple of days of settling into the dorm at the university, Gabriella was required to visit the student admission hall. Once she had introduced herself to the professors, Gabriella began to show her rebellious side by trying to get free treats out of the vending machine but unfortunately for Gabriella, the only thing that she managed to receive free of charge from the vending machine, was a couple of bruises.
During her time at University, Gabriella had come to the realisation that she was suffering from chronic boredom, to the point that she was almost certain that at any moment the grim reaper would show up and she would be forced to spend the rest of eternity enduring the same boring speech that she was currently being forced to listen to. What did Tragic Clown Sunny have to do with the fine arts anyways?
To mark the end of summer, a hotdog eating contest was hosted at in the local playground for the students.
Once her stomach had settled from eating so many hotdogs, Gabriella decided to try out military boot camp workout video that she had been gifted for Snowflake day and had never used it. However, after about 10 minutes of exercise, Gabriella fell back on the sofa and moaned that she had the fitness level of a caterpillar.
The next couple of months passed rather uneventfully and although it was still rather chilly outside, Love day was soon approaching and Gabriella was very nervous about sending Love letter to Shea. You see, over the last couple of months, Gabriella had fount that she rather liked her friend Shea, he was funny, sweet and very handsome.
Love day had truly been lovely for Gabriella, it had all started that very morning with Shea requesting a date. They had spent the entire day together and it had been perfect, they had chosen to visit the park where they had met some months earlier and although Gabriella's first kiss took place upon the hill over looking the small forest, it was even more perfect than she could of ever imagined.
Soon enough spring had arrived and although Gabriella was excited to take part in the freezer bunny festival, she was a little preoccupied with her latest protest. "Stop Tragic Clowns from teaching our students!" This protest had all started when Gabriella had discovered that there was Tragic clowns who was posing as Professor and had been teaching about Sunny the tragic clown to students all around campus, her first lecture had made so much sense after that strange little discovery.
Once the protest was over and had been a complete success, Gabriella took some time to enjoy the festival.
Spring was coming to an end by the time Graduation arrived, sadly her relationship with Shea had ended but they was still very good friends and had promised to visit one another once they had settled back into their own lives.
The End ~ I wonder what will happen to Gabriella now that Uni as ended...?
Gabriella Vinetwist - Artistic, Equestian, Photographers Eye, Rebellious, Virtuoso and Green thumb (Uni trait)
Since I would much rather you experience for yourself than having it spoiled with Photo's (my excuse for the lack of pictures..lol) I will only include two pictures. I know, I know.. I'm an evil fairy, I know this..I also do not deny it.
Gift Four: Hawthorne Seasonal Playground
Now as you might have already guessed by the name, this playground is also a seasonal lot. Although in this picture, it's set to common. I thought it would be nice to show you how it looks without all the extras. Also, I would like to say that It's my first time creating a lot like this so I apologise if you find any issues but @tanubanue was kind enough to test the lot and gave it the go ahead and @cmbaker16 was patient enough to give me a crash course in festival lots when I called her one night with the impatience of a two year old and asked her for help..lol So I would like to give a big thanks to both of them.
Now to be honest, I did intend to post more pictures but I've had issues with sims 3 all-day and I wanted you to have your gifts so I've had to grin and bear it and maybe the lack of photos is a good thing because you will get to experience the lot with a little more surprise.
Until tomorrow ~ Your buddy!
PS: Also because I'm evil, there is another gift in this picture..a little sneak peak but I wonder if you can spot the gift?!
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to get this gift up yesterday so I am going to treat you to two gifts today. First I would like to introduce you to...
Gift Five: Grace and Cadwell
Grace had never much cared for sim company, she was perfectly happy living all alone with nothing but her alchemy table and caldron. Other sims simply annoyed her and due to her slightly evil nature she would rather smite them with her own wand then be forced to endure a afternoon of social interaction.
Grace wasn't all bad though, if anything she was slightly eccentric and would often come talk over her plans with Quack Quack, her trusty rubber ducky.
And although Grace didn't really have many friends, she didn't mind all too much because she a great friend in her kitten Cadwell and for an evil little witch like Grace, all she really needed was her familiar.
Grace - Ambitious, Cat person, Eccentric, Evil, Neat.
Cadwell - Proud, Hyper and Playful.
(Cadwell was inspired and named after one of my favourite npc's in the Elder Scrolls online, if curious.)
Gift Six: Roall Lodge
Front view.
Dining Room
Kitchen
Sauna/Bathroom
Portion of the back garden, oh and as you can see the stairs works for fishing but you will need to click the stairs tell the sim to go there and then click to fish.
Hope you enjoy
are perfect too. We nearly had a good vs evil couple but I wasn't sure if you would like another evil sim and so I decided to make this more sweet since the end of the exchange is sad..so I suppose this is a bittersweet ending.
Gift Seven: James and Olivia Swishtail-Lovett
Supernatural fan James had never met a mermaid, so you could imagine his surprise when Olivia had introduced herself to him one day when he was looking for corals at the bottom of the ocean.
James and Olivia soon became friends and would meet up every so often to talk about the one thing they had in common, their love for swimming.
Olivia didn't only enjoy swimming, she enjoyed sculpturing and she was pretty good at it as well.
James loved to windsurf when he wasn't swimming but he wasn't very good at it but he didn't mind so much, as long as he was having fun that's all that mattered.
Their friendship quickly turned in to a relationship and on their one year anniversary of the day they met, James put his brave trait into action and asked Olivia to marry him and of course she accepted.
After many months of searching for the perfect wedding venue, the happy couple tied the knot.
James: Adventurous, Athletic, Brace, Loves to swim, Supernatural fan.
Olivia: Mermaid - Good, Irresistible, Loves the heat, Loves to swim, Savvy Sculptor
~ As a closing statement, I would like to say that I really enjoyed making gifts for you. I probably didn't stay in the box but I really hope that you don't mind that too much.
I fell in love with Shiro as soon as I read his name, "White Fox."

@KaytayRoall Awwww, that makes me happy Kaytay
@SjappielovePaul Thankyou! I hope so too. Yeah, I don't have the best track record with sim pets..rl pets are fine but the sim ones get neglected..though maybe that's the sims fault and not mine.
@MsPrissy88 Thankyou
@ciane Thankyou, that means a lot.

@KaytayRoall I'm sure there will be..just not exactly sure when..I do have one little bundle of cuteness waiting to be shown though. Probably my cutest bundle yet but Shiro and Starla are certainly giving the mysterious bundle a run for their simoleons lol
@Bookworm742 Thankyou so much
@MsPrissy88 Thankyou
@XxHannelorexX Awwww thankyou!
@Cmbaker16 She was a hoot to play and yeah, I won't lie..I did start to ship Gabriella and Shea. Who knows what the future holds, I do know that I wanted her to travel so maybe she will get to do that..or maybe she might just call him up one night after too many zebra fizz's and declare her love for him. I suppose @KaytayRoall will have to keep you updated. I do have some plans for her in my game though..that much, I do know.
Also Gabriella looks like great fun to play with! Might've found another steal!
