.. 2013 Christmas Expo Finds ..

Blog 120613 Xmas Expo 2

So much to find at the 2013 Christmas Expo, and I wanted to share a few things.  This year’s expo brings many creators together.  You can find furniture, clothing, poses, home decor.  Items for the holidays, for gifts, and for year round fun.  And while shopping, be sure to stop in to see the other activities in the Victorian Village.  There’s the tree lot where you can pick up a special Christmas tree and the skating area where you can strap on your skates for a spin across the ice. There are raffles and a silent auction too.  Often you will find DJs spinning some tunes, or maybe even a live singer while you are there.  And definitely do not forget to look for Saint Nicholas so that you can perch upon his lap for an awesome photo-op.  Be sure to whisper your Christmas wishes into his ear… you just never know what might show up on Christmas day!

The 2013 Christmas Expo benefits Relay For Life of Second Life with proceeds from the RFL vendors, auction boards, raffles and kiosks all being donated to the campaign for the American Cancer Society.

Check the website for all the information you will need!  If you just want to know what events might be happening, click here.   And do not forget to vote for your favorites in the AviChoice Awards before December 13th!

.. any other day ..

So The Arcade re-opened for GACHA goodness on June 1 and I have been having fun trying out all the things!  The creators participating in the June 2013 edition of this fab event certainly do not disappoint.  The true experience of the GACHA is the “luck of the draw” and the dwindling linden pocketbook as you keep trying until you get that RARE or the ONE that you have not gotten yet (no matter that your inventory is bulging with 20 of the same color!).  The Arcade’s wonderful venue and fun atmosphere add in to the awesomeness.  So check out the shopping guide and if you are the rare one that hasn’t run over, do it now.., you only have until the end of the month!
