After a long pondering I have decided (It was a hard decision cause I basically want everything from the store) that I would like to get Aurora Skies (2,426 sp) and Cubic Square Arch (61 sp). The rest I would like to keep in the bank for now.
Since I am back to instructing, my schedule is a little messed up.
Instructing pastry-ing? You're a pastry chef, right. Delicious.
No. I haven't worked full-time as a pastry chef in about 12 years. I haven't even done it part-time in the past 5 years. I had more than 1 degree and a strong legal background. I left the kitchen and went to work for the government. I needed steady and consistent hours (went from 16 hours a day to 8 hours) and my youngest child was starting high school (secondary school?). I needed to spend time with my children. Now they are grown men with families of their own.
I did give lessons over the summer (last summer) in cake decorating so that was nice. I still get requests to teach classes on baking, decorating and bread making. I still have most of my equipment and forms so I may consider it if this horrible virus is eradicated.
Just one note about my entry. We write the date different. I just noticed I forgot to write the date down like Americans do but it's clear that 23/7 is the same as 7/23, right.
It is clear to me however you decide to write the date.
Yes it's clear in this senario @simlibby but if the dates were both similar then it wouldn't be example 10/12 instead of 12/10 would be confusing if you weren't referring to something so recent

I have friends that live in Europe so I am used to seeing the date written both ways.
Thank you @ErnesaT for aurora skies and Cubic Square Arch.
The arch made Ultra Lounge Dining Set free for me, now I'm a step closer to getting the ultra set. I also can't wait to play in the new world!

6. I couldn't find any threads where someone would have mentioned gotten a gift from annasommer. (could just be my bad finding skills).

2. I didn't find any contest she hosted nor did I find any contest that she judged: maybe it's not there, maybe I missed it. I had a busy day so am a bit tired. Annasommer answered a question about hosting contests (@ErnesaT you did too): PLANNING A CONTEST, SEEKING ADVICE.
I did find many contests she entered. For example - but not limited to:
5. The top of Shaniqua Dunne is recolored. I don’t know from memory from which pack that top is (Basegame, WA, LN, Ambitions or Master Suite) but I do recognize that pattern which is available via Create A Style.
6. I also couldn't find any threads where gifting was done, maybe I overlooked it. I did find some other threads that imo could quality as gift: her builds and stories for example. She is also generous with her winnings.
i nominate annasommer because she writes awesome stories with the sims 3 ^-^ http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=annasommer
my memory = me and my friend went to halloween horror nights. Jason was chasing us with a chain saw through the pouring rain. She had flip flops on and kept slipping i pratically had to drag her through the puddles! It was so fun and she was terrified! We both had a blast afterwards and couldn't stop laughing!
Hi @ErnesaT ! I really like this scavenger hunt and I wanted to participate if that's okay. Thank you for doing this! For now, I would like to stack my SimPoints
5. I couldn't find recolors from annasommer directly, so I looked at her builds. In her build "Turquoise", she recolored the store item "Sea-loving Rug".
Link to the build: https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8114933
I would like to be gifted Theo's Contempo Dining Table (68 sp) and Colossal Curtain (75 sp). The rest I would like to keep in the bank for now. I'm trying to do the math to get Best of 2010 Compilation for free when it's on DD #242 since I already own some of it.
@sara4562, do you know about this calculator: https://elianahere.jwhostings.net/contact.html
In my experience that calculator is pretty accurate. At most it was 5 or 10 points off, maybe one time 25 points: sometimes it's a little bit cheaper than calculated and sometimes a (tiny) bit more expensive.

She didn't host contests but, as you pointed out, she was generous in other ways. Sharing or nominating others, as well as creating things for others, counts as gifting.

Prices change so much so I always check the current price on the day I'm gifting to be sure. It it's cheaper, I don't want you to think you have less points than you do.

I didn't know the prices can change. I knew that the prices change when on sale or on dd, but unfortunately it doesn't effect the gifting price (which is a bummer, cause it would save a lot of simpoints). This is really interesting, I need to look this up. Like how much can they change and how often, can I know in advance when it changes?
6. Potterphyle is very generous. I found many threads where she was thanked for her gifting. Among others Potterphyle gifted SciFiWarlock the Contemporary Comfort Bedroom in POTTERPHYLE YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO RECTIFY A SITUATION (AND A THANKS TO HAPPYHAUNT1000). An assembled bed sounds nice at the moment. I’m laying carpet in my bedroom so it’s cleared out except for the frame of my bed. Therefore I have to sleep on the couch for a couple of days. Which, of course, is not really a problem or a very luxurious problem, I just mention it because it was the main reason I choose this gift and because I'm excited about laying the carpet myself: the underfloor (maybe English speaking people call it under felt) is almost laid, after that I have to lay the carpet. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/520263/potterphyle-you-sure-know-how-to-rectify-a-situation-and-a-thanks-to-happyhaunt1000

2. I didn’t see a contest in the threads Patricks opened. I also didn’t find any contests in which Patrick was either a judge or sponsor. However, he did share his building skills, nominations, entries in contests and such constantly and I got the impression he’s well liked and appreciated within the community because I stumbled upon many kind words to Patrick and many gifting he received. He also opened this thread which he opened up for contests: M.F.E. [MAKE FRIENDS EASILY]– POST/SHARE/TALK ABOUT THESE TYPICAL SIMS THINGS ***NOW OPEN***
^ Regarding my last entry. I hope my nomination is OK. If it's not because it's two times in a row the same nomination, I would like to nominate DollyGizzy instead: https://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=DollyGizzy Regardless, thank you!
Edit at 9.11 PM
After I was done with the two times a week nomination of Sara, it was my intention to move on to Holaheya. And yet, when I was typing up this message, I temporary forgot about that until just now I saw the entry of Holaheya in the next post where she nominates me. So if my last nomination of Sarah is not OK because it's two times in a row the same nomination, I would like to nominate Holaheya. If it is OK to nominate Sara twice in a row, I will surely save Holaheya's and DollyGizzy nominations for a next scavenger hunt, assuming and hoping there will be a next.
Thank you @Holaheye for the nomination. I appreciate it. When we nominate each other, we can also choose to stack the SimPoints of the nomination so 75 SP is added to our bank.
