Thanks to our amazing hosts, tanubanue and ADWilson, for making sure this is smooth, successful sailing. You ladies rawk!

Check out my cooking Youtube channel: Living with Leigh
Yyyyyyyaaaay!
I'm so glad you saw them ^_^ I've been watching you go through the posts 1 by 1 and thinking "she's gonna get to it soon!" and now it's happened :XD: I'm so glad you like them You're so welcome! Enjoy your gifts in game Your girls can have all of them if they want... OVer and over again
You can download everything okay, right? :oops: It said you'd get anything you didn't have so I didn't really limit myself store-content-wise *lol* ~YJ~
I downloaded everything just fine and I am fiddling around with the house ingame now, getting a good look at everything. I love, love, love it. Did I mention that I love it?!
I showed it to my best friend and she went "Oh, I wanna ninja that house!". And mind you, she is reeeeally picky, she is not always loving the builds I make .
Hehe! As I say, it's good to know I was right in my choices ^_^ Yay for your friend too, nice to know she likes it too I love getting the houses in game, like i did with my gift today, and your build it's fun to explore something you don't know soemtimes!
Just wanted to take mo to say thank you to Tanu and AD for organising this, setting it up, and keeping it going. It's really impressive and we're so lucky to have you both here on this site! I definitely want to join future gift exchanges, can't believe it's taken this long to take part for the first time Thanks! ~YJ~
Everyone who has said Thank You to Addy and I for this exchange you are more than welcome! I am so proud of each and every one of you. You all make each other wonderful gifts and then the friendship and Love you share commenting on each others gifts and sharing is just wonderful! It's more than an exchange of gifts that you make it is also a gift of an exchange of a bit of yourselves! I just Love doing these exchanges because of that!

The patterns on the three rugs are really lovely!
CelestiAliCat
Sahara cat is adorable!
Potter's Cottage is charmingly cute.

2 Castaway Cove - The blue & grey exterior go nicely together! Nice interior colors and the layout feels light and airy. GREAT garden!
45 Paradise Circle - LOVE the splashes of color that make each room pop!
The End of the Road - Such a nice twist on the average beach house! I can easily see this placed as a vacation house in Al Simhara.
4 Castaway Cove - LOVE the stone work on the exterior! Hmmm... I am having a really hard time deciding which bedroom I like best
6 Castaway Cove - LOVE a yellow house with white trim! Calm colors and plenty of charm throughout this house!
illusie
What a WONDERFUL Victorian! LOVE the colors, the bridge, the children's rooms... oh, alright... everything!
ciane
LOVE how you packed a mighty punch in such a small space. Your command of the Simlish language is impressive
DolphineQ
Ebony & Ivory makes me think of a lighthouse for some reason. LOVE wraparound porches! Fabulous colors and MOO usage
Andrew is a handsome fellow and Carly is cute!
"Logged In" is a TERRIFIC starter cabin! LOVE the usage of blue throughout it and the clever way the curtains separate the sleeping area.
Idontrcall
GREAT family and home! LOVE how you used pictures and show us how their story started. The house is cozy and filled to the brim with charming character. I think the kitchen is my favorite room in this house.
Tanu
Talon... **wolf whistles** Handsome!
LOVE his underground lair!
Izabella is pretty and Max is cute!
Nice story starter you have given for the three of them
YellowJane
Six... Single... Men **wolf whistles** Handsome indeed!
LOVE the colors in Palm Hideaway! Really like the hidden pool area, too. It might have been built in Lucky Palms, but I can easily see this in Sunlit Tides.
Erja888
Nice looking Victorian! With four bedrooms AND 4 bathrooms, it can easily accommodate a large family or a multi-generational one! LOVE the shape of your pool because Professor Layton is amazing!!
CSIMSIE
Dragosion Mansion certainly has a grand entrance! The layout seems to be spacious and I believe Sims living here will host some lovely parties!
angeliii82
LOTS of pretty people with fun background stories and personalities! LOVE how you uploaded them in various ways so that there are plenty of options for different gaming styles!!
brivenes
This Cabin built with "everything" in mind looks very relaxing with its pond and beautiful surrounding environment!

What a SIMTASTIC Student Home! GREAT idea of making room for those majoring in Art and Music as well as business. Fabulous colors and decor accents in each room.
Alitoni
Karl Jazbo - That smile... those eyes... that hair (which by-the-way works rather well with him!) is a cutie!
LOVE the Tricky Gnome consignment shop! It is full of interesting nooks and crannies!!
I read through your letter, and discussed with myself what I would like to make for you and I decided, a café would fun. So I present to you the Desert Heat Café. (its probably more of a diner but café sounded better with the name)
This is beautiful. Not only are the pictures and icons great to look at, the Sims and the story are aMAYzingly crafted. I cannot wait to download them! I have to finish my gift before I can reward myself!
I had a lot of fun building this for you. I had never build a everything house before, so I thought I would give it a try. Some rooms are combined into one. There are secret rooms, and the pond does have fish in it.(There are a couple of rooms I didn't take pictures of like the secret rooms, or the wine cellar)
OMG! :-o This is amazing I love the garden, big baclonies and everything about it! This is amazing for your first build And thank you so much! I am such in shock Thank you Also I love how it kinda looks similar to my own home Maybe play as myself? Ahh thank you
Also gifting buddy, Ill try an finish your gift this weekend if my studying will allow it :P
Tanu - Izabella is lovely, and Max looks so huggable! They're a perfect fit for Talon.
duyguugudur - The Not so Usual Student Home is great! There's a lot of space for all sorts of Sims to pursue their academic endeavors.
Ali - I think Karl certainly fits the bill in the "hot guy" department. The Tricky Gnome is gorgeous! i love all of the little trinkets and bits and bobs!
jennytru - Abe and Amy have a great story behind them!
This is beautiful. Not only are the pictures and icons great to look at, the Sims and the story are aMAYzingly crafted. I cannot wait to download them! I have to finish my gift before I can reward myself!
I'm so happy you like 'em! Good luck on finishing your gift! Don't forget to check back tomorrow for your second gift.
Hanne ~ I really like the Leep it's a great house! And using the dive well to get to the hidden magic room is brilliant! I laughed about not being able to get back out ~ and you just thought a witch may have lived there huh?
Just dropping in before I go to bed to check out all the awesome gifts! I am midway down page 49 *note to self* Hoping to get my gifts up tomorrow or sometime over the weekend.
Dayshatw: Gemini manor is a lovely home, a lot of space for a family. Ginger is such a doll! The mobile home has a cute festive theme to it, or is that just the snow?
Gabourey looks a lot like the real deal and Mary Jane's bio had me too giggling
Rec'd all.
Skymyst:
I like the patterns you used on the rugs, Blueberry Bomb is my favorite. I'm sure hannelore will enjoy all the nice store gifts too
Rec'd all.
CelestiAlicat:
Sahara is an adorable kind of cat!*squeal* I love the rustic style of Potters Cottage, it would look perfect in Dragon Valley or Monte Vista. Then there is Beachy Keen Modern, the complete opposite but again very well done - something for every sim here!
Rec'd all.
Fission63: 2 Castaway Cove is another must grab! I love the simple color scheme you used on the exterior and interior. The landscaping is really nicely done.
45 Paradise Circle is totally unique to anything I have seen before and again, I LOVE the color scheme and decor! Will check out the rest of your builds tomorrow.
Rec'd all so far.
