    I have a little story to tell you....

    Many years ago there were two very powerful families of Witches. The Olsons and the Tanners. They were neighbors and friends till one day a spell went horribly wrong.... although it was an accident, a feud was started that lasted for generations :( Each new generation became more powerful, more angry, and more vicious with their tricks against the other family.. Not caring who got hurt including family, friends, or bystanders hit by fire...Finally the witches council had had enough and they stripped both families and all future generations of their powers. The council felt safe and happy in their decision that The Olsons and Tanners could no longer hurt eachother or innocent bystanders.

    So for many years and generations the families thrived without their powers. They became calmer, happier and better members of society, and while they didn't try to harm eachother any more they didn't like eachother either..That is until rocky Oldon and kitty Tanner met in school. It was love at first sight! They kept their romance a secret, knowing that their families wouldn't understand...They fell in love and under the stars after prom Rocky proposed :D Kitty of course said yes!!!! They married alone on the beach and with butterflies in their stomach approached their families and told them the WONDERFUL news!!!!!

    The family was not happy for them, not in the slightest bit and Kitty was crushed...for she had a secret that even Rocky didn't know yet, and as she looked into her parents eyes and her in laws eyes she realized their feud would never be completely over even if the families were now joined as one; If she and Rocky were going to be happy, they needed to move away from the family and start fresh! So they did and born to them were two beautiful twins who came with an extra surprise...MAGIC POWERS!!!!! Had the elders forgiven them? Was the joining of their fsmiies the cure for their families legacy? Perhaps...especially since Kitty and Rocky felt their own powers for the very FIRST time in their lives!!!!


    pics removed for space :)



    There are oufits for all of them some recolors as well....I wanted to post more but some would give away gift number three ( even more :wink: ) and in all honesty I am feeling quite under the weather and need to go to bed. I sure hope you are enjoying the gifts from me..I tried to create for you a supernatural family with some skills started and lots of items . they are uploaded on their own here :mrgreen:
    Olson Family


    P S I tried to go lite on store items and only ended up with one for this gift...it has been sent to you :mrgreen:

    First off let me just say a big THANK YOU I loveeee love loveeeee that story!! what an adorable family!!! :) I'm so excited beyond belief!! ALSO thank you so much for the hoodie it is literally the cutest thing I've ever seen and it will be on every single toddler I have XD
    thank you again!!! you're amazing!!
    I hope you feel better soon xoxox

    I know some of you are still waiting for gifts, be assured that they are on their way. :mrgreen: Tanu is in contact with everyone & we are still in the gifting giving time frame. Everyone will get a gift so please just be patient. I know that is hard :wink: but some gifts take time to make & this time of year gets busy for all of us in real life too.

    I thought I might share what is going on with me in real life. I have been wrapping gifts & putting them under the tree. The first few I did a few days ago & both Arwen & Bogart were good & left them alone. Well then I put more under the tree yesterday & Bogart would not leave the bows & ribbons alone. He kept chewing on them & removing the bows. So this is how our tree now looks, :lol: For some reason the few gifts in nutcracker paper on the table he is leaving alone, thankfully. The gifts under my tree are all wrapped in red, green or gold paper & it looks really nice but you will just have to take my word for it. :mrgreen:

    Tanu - While I haven't done anything with berry colored Sims before, I might be tempted to do so now! The pictures are great and show what a close-knit, loving family they are.

    dulcisxevertox - This story was sad, lovely and well-written, but sad. I was hoping their plan would backfire... but "Oh, no! What is Catilla going to do now? She can't let them get away with that!" Yes, I actually spoke aloud while reading :lol:

    SmilzPretty - I really, really like the way you presented the Parker family! GREAT job! Beautiful photos that give one a feel for the personality of each member and their relationship with one another.

    MissElpheba - Gotta LOVE twins!! Brady and Harrison Reef are wonderfully made! LOVED reading about them and learning what makes them individuals instead of two peas in the same pod.

    Alizatina - Kayden Alders is gorgeous!! She simply glows with good health and what appears to be a sunny disposition. Beautiful outfits using really lovely patterns.

    ChristGirl201 - TWO townhouses on the lot! I see pretty colors and clever use of space to keep it functional and clutter-free. The short story was nice, too! Makes me wonder how it will all turn out between Traci and Darren. Friends? Something more? I like how you left if up to the player to figure it out :D

    Ivanna420 - You have a knack for making it rain men. :wink: Robert is handsome and has a GREAT bio! Dash is also a looker!! Good bio on him, too.

    ReddRead42 - I bet there is never a dull moment in the LaStella Household! Nice looking family with a story that is simply waiting to be told. Berrol and Errol are adorable!!

    Such SIMTASTIC gifts, everyone :mrgreen:
    More recs have been "delivered"!

    potterphyle - Nice makeover of Jack Skipper. That's a brave, in-love man... letting his lady love make him over! LOVE the pictures you posted to share a little more of their history. Hopefully that fire didn't do too much damage.

    Ra345 - The Green Tea Palace is a gorgeous little gem! Nice simple design that is full of charm and I LOVE the shade of green you used on the wall (kind of minty). What a lovely little private garden area with the fountain... easy to visualize a Sim meditating there.

    jennytru - Nice job on FrankLloyd Wright! A hint of a building inspired by him? <leans in really close to the monitor> Can't wait! We have all been really good can we *coughcough* ahem, can Alizatina have the building now?

    Terrylin - Wilderness Comfort is comfy, cozy, and full of natural charm! <grabs blanket and goes to claim my spot on the couch>

    dreambluangel - What a wonderful story!! It is sad to see what a family feud can do to people, but I love how something good is coming out of this one. Rocky and Kitty have two beautiful twins and I am so happy to see that their powers have been restored. True love overcomes all.

    SmilzPretty - Cozy Country Cottage is all that and so much more! With the design and decor used, it definitely makes me think of a grandparents' home! SIMTASTIC presentation that gave all of us a good look around at all of the things that they have accumulated over the years.

    Ivanna420 - Dolphin Digs Remodel is very nicely done! GREAT colors in the bedrooms and bath, those in the living area make is a cheerful place to be. You have certainly spoiled sheba.

    skyegiovanni - Who knew? The Modern Treehouse is a lemon tree! :lol: GREAT job on this house - LOVE the open, airy feel to the place; adore the colors you used; and the pictures provide enough teasers that I want to see more of it... up really close!!

    More SIMTASTIC gifts to be seen here :mrgreen:
    My rec finger has certainly been busy!

    I am sorry Dear Scrapper but having always had cats I get a extra laugh at their antics and your discomfiture!!

    laughing-happy-cat-smiley-emoticon.gif

    I always made sure they had one special package that was theirs with sleigh bells and eye catching toys attached to the ribbon which was wrapped around and attached really well to their box heavily wrapped with paper for tearing. Only cat proof deco at the bottom 1-1 1/2 foot of the tree!! You did come up with a great way to detour them though. For a spell anyway!! :mrgreen: :twisted:

    Pitton,

    I have to confess, when I went to make the werewolf couple... I got side-tracked. An idea for a couple to go with your lovely new wedding venue came immediately to mind and would not sit still and be quiet. I jotted down a few notes and then got to work. Hopefully you'll like the results...

    Thats what I was going for, capturing the family as they are in their everyday life so you can see their personalities and really have a feel for who they really are rather then me just saying it.

    I am glad you get the same feeling as me about the house. It was a bit difficult trying to get to look homey because I went a little over board at first and it just looked like a mess, rather then homey
