Housewarming Gift Exchange

[Rosanna]

Hey Boolpropians! So in celebration of the big move, we're doing a li'l gift exchange! The concept is the same as a Secret Santa or a Secret Valentine. First things first though: please only sign up if you are sure you will be able to create a gift. If something unexpected comes up, well, that's another story, but please only sign up if you know you'll be able to commit. We don't want anybody not receiving anything!

The premise is simple: sign up in this thread. Once sign-ups are closed, you'll be PM'd the name of your giftee. You'll have a few weeks to create something for your giftee.

Possible ideas include: a graphic, a sim or a lot, a short story or poem, CC if you know how to make it, etc. Be creative!
You can also look through your giftee's posts and stories to get an idea of what they like

Once you've finished making your gift, send it to me (Rosanna) in a PM.

Please sign up by: September 1st
Please send in your gift by: September 29th

After I send out all the gifts (and reveal identities), we'll have a thread that'll let you show off what you got, if you feel like it!

Signup by filling out this form and posting it in this thread Signups are now over!

If you have a question that you'd like to ask your giftee, send a PM to me with both the question and the username of your giftee and I'll ask them for you.

Medals will be awarded! (To those who remember to send their gifts, that is )

Ani-Mei: When you're in CAS in Sims 3, and there's the little portrait of your sim at the bottom, click on the three dots (...) on the sims portrait for the extra options, and there's an option to save your sim to bin - then in your documents on your computer (in the Sims 3 folders), in your SavedSims folder, they should be there If you don't have the SavedSims folder, you can just create this in documents
