    I am sorry that you have to start again corettabarajas. The pies that your daughters made look very delicious! :) They would have been very tasty for your family to eat!

    Gah! So I got this massive build 75% finished and then realized I pulled heavily from a set that my buddy does NOT own... Time to start over.

    Pie makes everything better though... Right? My daughters made these yummy pies :)

    <a href="http://s24.photobucket.com/user/corettabarajas/media/Cake/2014-07-30155853_zps1f703e13.jpg.html&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c15/corettabarajas/Cake/2014-07-30155853_zps1f703e13.jpg&quot; border="0" alt=" photo 2014-07-30155853_zps1f703e13.jpg"/></a>

    When you say you have to start over, hopefully this just means that you have to take out the store content that can't be used and then continue moving forward by using different items (thereby creating a whole new design theme) instead of totally scrapping the build itself and starting over from scratch.

    A PI pie, how cute! I bought a shirt called "Cake or Pi?" from shirtwoot! years ago to wear on PI day (March 14), but I like it a lot and wear it fairly often.

    Since you started a new list, then I will check in! This next week looks like it could go by quickly!

    The first half of my gift is done, pictures taken.
    The second half of my gift is about 1/4 done. Ideas a brewing on how to finish it and I will hopefully have it done this weekend.

    IMPORTANT!!!

    GreenCats pointed this out and I wanted to be sure ALL of you are aware of this.

    The forums will be upgraded starting on FRIDAY, August 8th, around 9:00 AM (PDT)

    This means that the forums will be down for several days! The message stated that the forums will be read only while this is going on - so no posting to the threads or starting a new thread during this time.

    When the upgrade is done, everything EXCEPT our Avatar will still be there. We will need to choose or create a new one.

    They will keep us informed via Twitter and Facebook as to when the forums will be back up and running.

    You can read the official post by SimGuruHydra here:

    IN THE MEANTIME WE WILL BOTH STILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH EMAILS SHOULD YOU NEED US FOR ANY REASON. 8)

    Yes, I will be able to access email via my phone but everyone needs to be made aware that I leave TONIGHT (Wednesday, August 6th) and will return on Sunday, August 10th (most likely late afternoon/early evening). Hubby has an Army Reunion out-of-state and this trip has been planned since December. We had to get security clearance to go on a tour of the Center for Domestic Preparedness and essentially will learn how to respond to a terrorist threat. Our teen who is majorly interested in Law Enforcement is super excited about this!! I hope it is a good tour for her :D

    So... in a nutshell, I will be gone for a few days and will periodically check my email. Please do not hesitate to drop me a line or three. When I return, I will update the list with those who have checked-in (as soon as we have the green light for forum activity again).

    Thanks for your understanding.

    I'd like to check in early please. All still going well. Finished up in work so will have more time to finish things off soon.

    Just letting people know too about the fact the forums will be read only from Friday.... Hopefully it doesn't delay things with the exchange.

    Checking in early, just in case of EA messing up the forums still on the 13th. ;) I have plans to wander in game today to work on things, too! :D

    And I hope you have a fantastic trip, Addy! :mrgreen:

    I guess I'll check in early too with the forum maintenance going on soon. My gifts are pretty good shape. Just some finishing touches left, and then I can move onto picture taking.

    I wonder what they mean about the avatar thing... Are we losing the sims we uploaded as avatars? Or maybe we'll be using actual pictures instead of sims as avatars now?

    Have a good trip Addy. The preparedness thing sounds like it should be interesting.

    I'll check in early as well, don't want to deal with the forum stuff checking in and I'm afraid if the forums are down on the 13th still I'll forget I need to check in. >-<
