Originally, this was a thank you note to save a lot of time and make sure no one got missed. (Original post, below.) Then, it sort of transformed into a thread of gifts for you from my creative efforts. I do not have a "showcase thread" in the Creative Corner and I do not plaster this website with advertisements of all my lots but
some lots... are just special. Some lots are more meaningful to me than others and I really want to share them with friends.
That said, here is an index to some of my gifts for you, posted on this thread:
The Greek Temple House at Corinth - a special tribute to Alexis
Maguire's Irish Pub - a Saint Patrick's Day neighborhood pub
Inman Park Tudor - a thank you to my builder friends, my first Tudor upload
Two Japanese Lots - for BimleSims' Japanese world
Two Chinese Lots - built in celebration of the Lunar New Year

Thanks so much to all of you for your outpouring of gifts in support of my nomination to the GOG thread. I can't tell you how much your friendship means to me and I love that your gifts are forever memorialized in my game launcher. That's just too cool. Likewise, you have left a deeper mark on my heart.
To all my friends, not just those who have sent gifts in the last day, thank you for making this community what it is --
most of the time, a fine place to be. I so appreciate you. You're just awesome! Sara would say *hart*...

HUGS!!
@Mystik, I am sorry to hear about the effect of the weather on your husband's construction work, and the resultant open drain on the household income. I have some family members in the business so I know that dilemma all too well. *Hugs*
I appreciate you being here. No gift is ever necessary. The size of it is not the most important thing. People give what they can, with or without any SimPoints. I hope that Spring will come early to your door.
Thank you for all of the kind words and being there to gently nudge us when things get just a little off, you always have the perfect words for everyone to help us see things in a giving light and caring perspective!! I've seen you in action and I admire you immensly for that! *Great Big Hugs* my friend!

Today I uploaded a very special thing, well two things really. I have been given all the Greek and Roaring Twenties content by my daughter and a few very special friends. To honor them I uploaded a Greek Temple House and the young family who lives in the house in my game.
I'm not looking for any recommendations but I thought you might like to see something I built for my friends. As Msred happened to be hosting a contest it would have been unkind to not enter, but my Lot and family are truly a tribute to family and friends.
I'll share two photos here and you can check out the link to see more if you'd like.
The Greek Temple House at Corinth
The family dressed up for dinner, from left to right, teenage daughter Basilia Chloe Berberias, father Nicholas Dion Berberias and mother, Alexis Andrea Berberias. All these Greek names were specifically chosen for their meanings and relevance to the actual personalities of the three of them.
