Hello Spring

I’m still up to my knees in Canadian snow in RL, but it’s springtime at It All Starts With A Smile in Second Life!

I have several free items to share with you, and I have no idea where to start!  Lets start with this great outfit…  You can find the Pepper Outfit that includes the pencil skirt and blouse in a beautiful, springy shade of sky blue as a free group gift at FA Creations.  This group is free to join.

The skin I am in today is the latest group gift from Morphine (formerly Mirror’s Enigma).  She’s called Lauren and comes in a medium skin tone in two makeup variations (blush and matte, shown below), along with cleavage and eyebrow options as well as appliers for Lola, Lush & Phat Azz.  To obtain this free gift, you must be a Morphine inworld group member.  If you are not a member, simply make a purchase in store, and you will be auto invited to join.

These hot Screw Handcuffs were sent out as a free subscribe gift to Pure Poison subscribers recently, and my Slink Nail Appliers are also free!  In the Envie marketplace store you can find a Limited Time Freebie that contains three colours in a hud for both toenails and fingernails.

Have fun shopping!

FabFree Photo Challenge #7

** Last day to submit photos – March 30th, 2014

I am a little late with the release of this challenge, but I haven’t forgotten!  I was thinking thinking this month we should try something a little different and not use a theme, but instead add in a little request to “SMILE” in your photo.   When I look at pictures of people smiling it makes me smile too, and I can’t be the only one like that!  Lets pass some smiles around 😀

ps.  If you need a little help pixel smiling, The FREE  Anypose Expression HUD courtesy of Phate Shepherd Creations is a very useful tool that I rarely take a photo without!

********************************************************************************

FabFree now hosts Monthly Photo Challenges!   On the 1st of each month a new challenge will be released.  It was initially intended to challenge us FabFree bloggers and add a little fun to our posts, however it was suggested to me that we open it up and allow the whole grid to participate!

Here’s how it works:

1.  Create a photo inworld based on the theme that is posted here at FabFree.

2.  Upload your photo to the FabFree Photo Challenge Flickr Pool by the challenge end date (please rename your photo “FabFree Photo Challenge Submission”).

3.  Leave a comment on the challenge post with a link to your flickr photo (and blog post if you wish).

4.  On the last day of the challenge, a winner will be chosen by our staff of bloggers and will be featured on the blog as “The FabFree Photo Challenge Champion”.

Rules:

1.  Your photo must contain one absolutely free item.

2.  Please keep your photos family friendly (eg.  no naughty bits displayed).

3.  You may enter as many times as you like.

4.  Most of all – have fun, and don’t be afraid to enter.  Everyone from photography levels are welcome to participate.
