    Watch "Nightmare Before Christmas". (That's the closest thing I'm ever going to come to an actual scary movie! And it's not scary! :D)

    Hellooooooo my awesome Buddy!!!


    Just updating you on your gift.... it is FINISHED!! Pictures have been taken. All that is left is for me to WRITE UP the story.

    Seeing as this week is going to be a CRAZY one - my nephew is getting married on Halloween... I have to work Wednesday THRU Saturday... I have been thinking of TAKING my laptop with me (to the hotel), so I can do the write up. IF I forget to, I am off for a few days after Halloween, and I can do it then, AND get your gift uploaded. For now tho... let me play it by ear.


    p.s. EVERYTHING has already been saved to my library. ;)B)

    I'm in a weird combo of being really excited, but also really nervous that my buddy won't like it :sweat_smile:

    Yay! Looking forward to seeing what everyone has made as well.

    I can understand that. It's how I feel/felt each time I participated as a Buddy. This may or may not help but know that your Buddy will love it because you built it especially for them. And ... others will like/love it too! This is something that might not have been created because it took the inspiration you found in your Buddy's letter to bring it about. And being based on the letter makes it one-of-a-kind.

    This is me tossing my two cents around. If it doesn't apply to your situation, grab the coins and run :D

    Same? When my gift suddenly… ahem, “shifted” …I knew I had to go with it. Aaaaannnnnnnnd, it just snowballed from there.


    However, I’m sure your gift is fabulous, and your buddy will like it.

    Y'all are too kind, thank you so much. I think my buddy will like it, if nothing else, it'll still be a thoughtful gift :)

    @BreeMiles @Clousinators @leochick123 @MsPrissy88 @seaben and @Simming_Spoonie

    Gifting Time begins TOMORROW !!!!

    Since a few of you are new to being a Buddy, here's a little extra information on how gifting works:

    Once Gifting Time commences, I will change the title of the thread and leave a comment indicating that it's time. Once those two things happen, please feel free to begin gifting your person.

    How do you gift?
    1. Upload your gift to the Gallery - please add the hashtag #Spooktacular2021 in your descriptions

    2. Leave a message here for your Buddy - be sure to @ their forum name so they get a notification and know where to look
    2b. Think of the thread message as a gift card to your Buddy - write a note to them, include screenshots and/or link to slideshow (this is the "picture" of your card) and anything else that will personalize it.
    2c. Please remember to add the link to your Gallery item so it's easier for them (and others!) to find it.
    2d. Lastly, the focus is not on what you did because we already know you put forth your best effort! The focus is on making your Buddy feel special ... because they are! (you are a Buddy so that means you, too!!)

    3. Feel free to Like/Fave and download any Buddy gift - we all love new game goodies!
    3b. Leaving comments/compliments about the creations is another gift - oooh and ahhh to your heart's content here in the thread and on their Gallery upload!

    And ...
    Last but not least,

    4. Please remember your Buddy Letter was a list of things you would like to have and not mandated as a must-do-this-and-this. If your Buddy was inspired to go in another direction, that's okay. Be kind to each other when thanking your person.
    4b. If you have an issue for whatever reason, send me a PM and let's have a conversation about it. Do not go directly to your Buddy!

    Thank you and see you at Gifting Time !!!!
    Addy
