Mondays are wonderful in Second Life! In addition to a full day to unpack all those sales boxes from the weekend, Apple Fall does something unique called the Monday Perk. If you are a member of their 10L group, you simply go stand at the inworld store for like 5 minutes and you get registered into their weekly drawing! Winners can win either a L$2,500 cash prize or a L$2,500 Store Credit just for showing up. While you are there, take a peak at all their cool decor items and free group gifts!!!
Update: Looks like Apple Fall *just* announced that they are discontinuing this program, right after this post was published. Alas!
So, where are these hot free gifts? In the photo below, check out three of the gifts on the bench. They are the Kiwi & Blueberry Cheesecake (YUM), the Coral Specimen, and the Americana Bunting.
Many thanks to my DJ friend, Heath Firanelli, for joining me to showcase this amazing decor from Apple Fall.
Hey there my darling No0bs and all Fabulous Folks. Class is in session once again and we have a TON of things to cover tonight. So let’s jump on in.
First, I want to answer a question I received because I think it’s something we all struggle with: Makin’ those Lindens. I have been checking out one of the easiest ways and that is the Fish Hunt Game. You catch fish and then pop to the game’s HQ and turn them in. The biggest thing is it takes forever to make any significate money. But it’s all free and if you have the patience for it then as you fish you get better at it and over time you start to catch more fish and less trash. If you use the Fishing Game to make money, let me hear from you!
Much like the Fishing, patience is needed for the next “free” money maker: The Money Chairs. I found this one at the Kingbal store. ( Which also has loads of freebies everywhere.) You only make 1L at a time and only if your letter or a ? comes up. So…. not fun but still totally free. I couldn’t find a list of such chairs or even the “Money Trees” new residents can harvest for their first 30 days.
I’m going to come out and say… the best way to have L$ is simple to buy it with real currency. The exchange rate is good. One Linden is literally one cent. The minimum purchase order is $2.50 which buys you 600L ( at the current rate) You can set up a payment method as you choose including PayPal. Of course , this is JUST my own personal opinion so take it with a huge grain of salt.
I want to clear something else up in response to a nasty comment/NC I received in world. The Bloggers here on FabFree are NOT paid. We don’t even get “free stuff” from most designers and creators. We set piggybanks up at our HQ because some folks like to help out their favorite bloggers with our expenses or to say a little “thank you”. We aren’t ‘begging on top of getting all that free stuff’. We do this because we love it.
What I can recommend for all us penny-pinchers is a SandBox. These are places you are allowed to rezz objects and build free of charge. There are “premium Sandboxes” out there that are pay or only for folks who have a premium account. But many are simply free open places. You can find empty ones by typing in “Sandbox” to your search.
Pick one, I picked this one at random. Please respect the rules of each sandbox, there will usually be a sign or an automatic NC delivery with rules.
Then, open your World Map. (ctrl + M). In the left lower side you’ll see your “Location” Use the arrow or manually enter a height. I picked 1500- ish and that seems to be high enough. Get your avatar in ‘fly’ then teleport up. Take a look around if the sky is empty as far as you can see, you’re in the right place.
Now, if you’re using FireStorm Viewer simply type ” REZPLAT ” and get a platform. Now you can land and rezz boxes or whatever you need.
You can even rezz a skybox. There are a TON of free skyboxes on the MarketPlace for you or go grab this gorgeous “New York Apt Skybox” from AppleFall for free.
The outside of the skybox sitting on the platform I rezzed
The beautiful inside. You’d never know you were hovering in space.
Each Sandbox has a different time of “return” when it automatically returns everything in the sandbox to it’s owners. So do check to see when the next clean takes place before you rezz out. And , just as a curtesy, when you log out take/delete your items. Leaving trash in the sandbox (or anywhere you may be able to rezz that isn’t yours) is just rude.
One thing to remember – You can’t set your “Home” to one of these sandboxes. To get around this, make sure you leave Second Life from your platform each time. Then when you come back to log in, log in to “Last Location” and you will pop in at the sandbox.
Okay, my darlings, that’s it for tonight. I promise next week is “Inventory Control” It’s a huge subject so I want to spend some time on it. Have a great week and I’ll see ya on the blog!
One PS…. The Legacy FREE gift Body is still available. I picked up both Alistar and Kery a copy and I love it. It’s BOM ready and has a ton of bells and whistles. I highly recommend it.
I’m suddenly in the mood to celebrate! Could it be all this awesome freedecor I got? Or perhaps it’s the mythical call of the cake….hmmm….
With Panache!
Right so this might be something you have to do in fast forward if you would like the pretty cake from Dahlia I am about to eat…. Anyway, let me get you the info. If you join the freePanache Events group, then look in group notices, you’ll find this lovely cake from Dahlia, as well as the amazing streamers, balloons and posing frame from Elm. The HUD to change the colour of the streamers and the words at the bottom of the posing frame are INSANELY amazing. So many choices. Gifts are slated to drop every two weeks in this group, and the Dahlia cake is sure to disappear very soon. Join the group ASAP and get your mitts on these amazing freegifts!

Let’s party!

Hiya, New Year’s Day is a time of traditions and resolutions. LOL, like most folks who make those New Year’s resolutions mine are pretty much done for by March. However, the traditions seem to stay year after year.
Sneaking A Taste
Until my 2 of my 3 sons had married, and the last one left home, we had a tradition, my middle son is a New Year’s baby, so every year at midnight we would ring in the new year with birthday cake, and a very tiny glass of champagne. New Years Day I would be up with the sun spending my day in the kitchen cooking a brunch feast for those always hungry boys, while they spent the day in front of the tv watching football games. Jacx seemed to think it was a pretty fair idea to recreate a new year feast while modeling Meander/Me Bonfire Top. This wonderfully detailed cropped sweater is a free group gift. Lemania Indigo owner and creator of Meander/Me is known for using beautiful textures on all her creations. And body sizes oh my goodness there are a lot. The hud for the Bonfire top is a generous 13 color hud in rich fall colors. I would like to thank our sweet Miss Caroline for letting us know that the Meander/Me group is now free to join, and she showed some really fun items from the shop here. There are 41 group gifts available, so joining Meander/Me‘s free group is like getting a whole new wardrobe. 🙂

Hiya got a quick little post for you. Jacx has been stalking Lucky Boards again, LOL.
Old Man Winter
Overnight my little corner of Second Life got dumped with a ton of snow, needing warmth and a huge sugar fix, (haha sugar rush to keep my spirits up) so dropped over to my neighborhood coffee shop for some hot cocoa and baked treats. For this outing, Jacx is modeling a Pink Cream Pie Lucky Board find. The Mariah skirt, shown here in the Pompom color fills the bill nicely, comfortably slipping under the sweater for a stylish complete look. A 24 color panty hud is included so you can match your undies to whatever you wish. Here is all the pertinent info about the lucky boards, there are 10 boards for letters, & 10 for numbers so a big plus, and these boards are super quick, not sure what the timer is but, they are fast. 3 tops, lingerie, jeans, shorts, panties, and 2 boards with outfits, or tops & bottoms, a floral romper, and pj’s. The Pink Cream Pie group is required for the boards, and the joining fee is 314L. With the joining fee, you get group gifts for several years plus extras for a total of 58 gifts.

Hiya got another speedy quickie for you from Paper Sparrow. Our own Miss Bunnie is out doing her generous self even more, in the spirit of the season 🙂 You can pick up this sexy number till next Saturday.
Oh My How Time Flies
Being a PC gamer of long-standing, it’s amazing how wrapped up you can get in a very short amount of time, one minute it’s blah, blah time, next time you look at the clock it’s jumped several hours. Then you sit in wonderment of where the time went. That has happened to Jacx today, trying to refocus after marathon Black Friday shopping, sitting at the PC to clear the mind, only to find out how late she is, lucky she was almost dressed for going out modeling Paper Sparrow Lorilei Top for 25L. This super sexy cropped top will definitely turn heads. And with a 20 colorpack hud, your choices to match most outfits will be assured.

Holeeee Crow, FabFree!! Black Friday has exploded onto the Grid today and one of my all time favorite designers has taken it to heart! We gotta hurry here cause the sale may only last a few hours or a day or two… we don’t know!
Apple Fall is having a HUGE sale on the Marketplace. Everything on the Marketplace is only 50L! EVERYTHING! Even the builds! If it’s on the Marketplace store it’s 50L. I found a few items for less than 50 and a lot of free gifts there too. In fact, every single thing in my picture is free! Including the Skybox!
I had planned on blogging just all the amazing gifts then *BOOM* huge sale. So let’s talk quickly about the Group Gifts. If you join the freeApple Fall Group and wander the store… you will find literally dozens of free gifts. Some are easy to find and say “Group Gift” but some are just scattered around the store. You need to mouse over them to see they’re free. Then pop up to the ‘Outlet’ shop and find even more free things and steeply discounted items.
whew, that’s a lot to take in… but get over to Apple Fall and shop your heart out!
Every item pictured – Apple Fall – FREE/0L – Free gifts for the free Apple Fall group
Hate to say it has been a very long week, but at last, the wandering dreamers have found a home, and are getting settled in. So after spending time setting up home again, lol. (no I really don’t want to count the number of moves this past month.) Jacx has taken the day to do nothing but lounge around, eat, and play PC games in her sexy new outfit. The Fabfree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt provided the outfit. Sweet Willows Foxy Christmas Candy, a confection of laced halter style top, and hip riding shortie skirt is a perfect outfit for playtime. The good news is Foxy Christmas Candy has friends too. Four other Foxy Christmas outfits are on the hunt as well. Plus the price tag for each outfit is 0L. While you are hunting at Sweet Willows. you can also pick up the Fabfree Group Gift Foxy Demin Duo for by wearing your Fabfree Group Tag.

As you might know, my playroom/library colors are blue and white. So I was tickled pink (no pun intended) that Cwtch has the most beautiful blue tones artwork for the Fabfree Fallen Leaves and Frost hunt. The Cwtch Frosty Flowers Art is original artwork, 1LI, and 5L, plus a bit of your time hunting. This picture was one of the first items that went into my new home. 🙂
Words cannot describe how goofy this picture is and how cute I feel it is at the same time. If you could wrap up my personality in one glance, this would have to be the top of the list examples here.
The Top
I came across this top at Vagrant and I just needed to grab it! The freegroup gift is out right now and you can’t let this one slip away. The warm color palate is perfect for November Photos and it can easily be dressed up with a jacket or cardigan sweater.

When I was a kid, my favourite part of Halloween was decorating our front lawn with my Mom. The day she brought home a huge inflatable pumpkin was one of the best memories I had as a child! I was so excited. Now I have an epic inflatable pumpkin for my garden here in SL and some other great Halloween decor which I have set up for the night of trick or treating on the 31st. My house is definitely ready for the big night now.
Here are the details about the free decor items shown in my post today:
The pumpkin inflatable is a free gift at Apple Fall. Look for it in the store. It’s in one of the rooms and it costs 0L, no group required.
The cute little orange pots are the latest freesubscriber gift at Noveny! Just click the subscriber and they’re yours. If it doesn’t work for you at first, just un-subscribe an re-subsribe to get the gift.
The little cauldron at my feet gives out “tricks” or treats- like candy and other goodies to all your guests and trick-or-treaters. The cute alien lollipop I am holding is from the cauldron! The cauldron is freeat Junk Food and no group is required to get this amazing gift.
A Look to Match!
The other thing I want to share tonight is this absolutely adorable outfit that will match all your new cute Halloween decor. My top and skirt is one of the freegifts from [QE Designs] at their booth at the Halloween Shop & Hop. This set comes in three cute Halloween texture patterns that can be changed via a HUD. [QE Designs] has several other gifts included in their giftbox at the event in addition to this set, so enjoy all of their lovely free goodies!
