Break Out The Plaid!

Hey, so as promised, the Lucky Advent Calendar was taken down, and I've broken up that Mega Pack prize that was in it into two regular-sized packs.

I'm releasing the first of those two packs today. On Friday a.m. sometime, I'll be loading up the Main Store Midnight Mania board with the half-pack of that new pack. Sooo, if you weren't able to grab the Mega Pack as a prize, this is your shot at getting at least part of it as a prize.

And, of course, group members get a few textures from this pack as their group gift! Hurrah! So Chipaholics, keep an eye out for that note card, hehehe.

Please also remember to take a look at the post from earlier this week to help support the fund-raising campaign to help our dear Hioh Jinx get himself home to his family so he can see his terminally ill father. There is a yard sale going on with many textures, clothing, sculpts and many other items being sold to raise money for this cause. Details and SLURL to the event are in the post from earlier this week.

Have a great weekend everyone, and stay tuned! More stuffs coming up on the 1st of January!!! Woot!!!

Please help!

Today, I learned that a fellow creator, builder, and organizer of several full-perm creator's hunts, Hioh Jinx, is in need of our help. Those of you who are members of some of the in-world Midnight Mania for builders' groups may already have heard the news.

Hioh is in need of some help in getting home to his family so he may see his terminally ill father. To help him to that end, a yard sale has been organized to fund-raise for him.


From the note card I received today in-world:

"On Thanksgiving Day, our friend Hioh Jinx learned that his father has terminal cancer.  Hioh has not seen his family since he moved to Texas nine months ago and does not have the means to return home to see his father.  The cost of a round-trip bus ticket is $400.00.

In the spirit of the season, we're asking for your help in raising the money to get Hioh home to spend time with his Dad.

How you can help:

*donate items to be used as prizes for Greedy Tournaments on Saturday
*make a donation to the tip jar
*come by and make a purchase
*come on Saturday for the Greedy Tournament!

****100% of all funds raised will go directly to Hioh****"

To take part, I've sent over 15 of my most recently released and popular textures, and discounted them all by 50%. My vendors have been set up to send money directly to Mattie Rae, who is sending 100% of the fund-raised money to Hioh directly so he can return home.

Please click here to be directed to the yard sale going on in SL.

Your caring and generosity are very appreciated.

Much love,
Chippie

Silky smooothhhhhhh!

 This week's release involves lush colors and lush textures! Hope you enjoy the pack of twelve handmade textures. This time I've made them size 1024x1024 again so that any clothing designers can have as much flexibility with this set as possible.

If you need the textures smaller, you can always download to your favorite image-editing software and re-size, and voilà! All set, hehehe.

The weekend's Midnight Mania board at the main store is of course the half pack of this set, shown here.

As always, lots going on so be sure to catch it all! Firstly, the 69L Naughty Weekend sale is going on from this afternoon until end of day Sunday. I've put together the three Christmas-themed textures I released over the last few weeks and discounted it for you. I realize you may feel it's a bit late, but think of it this way: You can start setting some textures aside for next year! Truly!

Usually, these three texture packs, bought separately, would run you 170L. At 69L, you're getting slightly more than a 50% discount! So grab it while you still can!!!

Aside from the MMs and the 69L sale wrapping up on Sunday, the Lucky Advent Calendar in the main store will also be coming down at the end of that day. Be sure to stop in the shop to check what letter is up for the day, and come back the next day if it's not yours! The mega-pack of plaids that are the prize for that game will afterwards be broken up into regular texture packs and sold at regular price after the New Year! So don't miss out!

The Lucky Presents that are under the tree will be around until December 31st though, so be sure to keep an eye out on that as well.

Have a great holidays everyone, regardless of what it is you celebrate at this time of year!

Crates of Textures, Or Is It Textures of Crates?

Just kidding, it's textures of crates haha. Not any crates, though! This set of wooden crates have been stained some nice colors and stenciled with some decorative flourishes including owls, ivy, and flowers.

Definitely a springy feel to this set, which I hope won't spoil your holiday mood, but the intent was to help those of you who work on projects way ahead of time get your hands on a fresh set of spring textures in time for your projects!

One of the Luck Present Prizes!

And, I guess in a way we ARE talking about crates of textures, because between the Spoiled Kitteh Hunt, the Lucky Advent, and this new prize opportunity I'm about to mention, I feel like I'm giving away crates of textures LOL.

New today in the Main Store are three Lucky Presents. You'll find them -- where else? -- under the Christmas tree by the new releases. They've each been loaded with:

• Christmas Crafts, the alpha-layer set of Christmas patches
• Patched knits



Another of the Lucky Present Prizes!




• Embroidered Snowflakes

As with the Lucky Chairs, these presents will display a winning letter ever few minutes. If unclaimed at the end of the designated amount of time, a new letter is chosen at random by the Lucky Present system.




The Lucky Presents and Lucky Advent will run until December 31st, so be sure to stop in and check them out!

Yet another Lucky Present prize woo hoo!

Don't forget! 69L Naughty Weekend Sale item this week (see the post from Wednesday for details) and the Midnight Mania board are also going. These events, however, will end at end of day Sunday, so snap 'em up while you can!

Another Naughty Bite ...

Ok, since I gave you a sneak peek last week of the 69L Naughty Weekend Sale bundle, I'll do the same thing today hehehe.

This week, I've put together all the shades of blue for you from the Sari Inspirations pack. Retail value for these four packs of textures is 200L, but from Friday until end of day Sunday, you can snap them up at the crazy low price of 69L!!! You can't miss it!

For this bundle you get four packs of ten 512x512 JPEG format fabric textures. This bundle includes the shades of Aqua, Royal Blue, Light Blue, and White -- which has all patterns in a light blue color.

If you'd like to make the purchase of this limited edition pack on the Marketplace rather than in-world, keep an eye out here, I'll put up a link to the item on Friday. Also, if you'd like to take a look at the 69L Naughty Weekend Blog for other designers' submissions to this weekend's sale, look for the link to their blog which is off to the right of this post.

Stay tuned, because I'll be posting our new release and yet another fun in-store feature in a couple of days!

Giving you a naughty peek!

Limited Edition bundle will be available
only until end of day Sunday, Dec. 11

Ok, so letting you have a sly little peek at the texture bundle I'm going to be putting on sale in the 69L Naughty Weekend sale event! This sale will start on Friday, Dec. 9 officially at 3 p.m. SLT. Unofficially though, I'll probably have the item out earlier than that, hehehe. Shhhhh!

This is ALL of the Bronze Plates series put into one package just for you, at an INSANELY discounted price of 69L. This limited edition bundle includes:

• The entire Bronze Monogramming Plates
• Bronze Number Plates series including numbers 0 to 30

I thought you would all enjoy these as they are really popular, but also pricier if you wanted to buy the whole set. At the usual retail price, the entire bundle would cost you 235L.

Remember to snap up this deal while you can though, as it will be GONE and not offered again after the end of day Sunday, Dec. 11.

For those not familiar with this set, here are the specs:

• They are all alpha-layer in TGA format, hand-made by myself
• The monogramming plates include all the letters of the alphabet
• The numbers are the same as the monogramming plates, but are numbered from zero to 30
• They are, as always, full-perm

So that's the naughty teaser! Now, we wait. Bwahahahahaaaaa.

Spoiled Kitteh Hunt Prize!

Mrawr!

Well here we go with another hunt! This time, we're participating in the Spoiled Kitteh hunt, which starts December 3rd and ends on the 31st. This hunt is organized by the same people who put together the Scary Kitteh hunt that I also took part in during the month of October. It was really well-run with some wonderful prizes, so be sure to check it out!

My prize in this hunt is a set of alpha-layer Christmas tree bulbs in TGA format. There are 10 beautifully decorated bulbs in this pack, and they'll no longer be offered for free after the end of this hunt so be sure to come grab them!

Be sure to check out the Freaky Kyoot Events blog for a sneak peek at other designers' prizes, and I believe hints will also eventually go up. For information on the hunt and starting locations, stop by the main store and click on the hunt poster!

Flaky Time of Year

New release this morning *yawns* *slurps more coffee*

This weekend I've got a set of eight alpha-layer, TGA format embroidered snowflakes for you! These are inspired from a custom work request that one of my customers made of me. They seemed like such a great idea, and she reported back to me that they worked great as embellishments to a top she was making, so I whipped up a few extras and figured I'd offer them up to anyone else who could use them!

Group members get a couple of these for free as a sampling, of course! There is a pack of four of these snowflakes up on the Main Store Midnight Mania board until Sunday that you and your friends can slap up!

Stay tuned, because with tomorrow come the start of a new hunt -- the Spoiled Kitteh Hunt. I'll be announcing my prize right here FIRST, so be sure to come back!
