Cookies For Breakfast
Why should Second Life be any different from real life. While I don't roll my hair in the mornings with cans I do snag cookies for breakfast. My co-workers are guilty as well. Heck most of the time they are the ones baking them. SAS - Victoria Fuchsia Swirls Pants & Jacket (Legacy)* @Desig…

Mystic Falls
How pretty is this scene? It is the time of year where my waterfall comes back. I really do miss the sound of water when it dries up in summer and is gone. I think spring time when all the water is flowing is when the valley is really happy. I also love when we have moody days. It makes the la…
