Oh the heat....

Blogging has taken a back burner, as has building lately. It seems that all this heat makes me lazy! I start projects and find myself procrastinating ....horrible isn't it? But I did manage to get the August group gift out-Leather N Mace. Its a delicious combo of jagged leather n lace n brocades, with arm and leg warmer style pieces to highlight the yummy corseted top and playful skirt. Its a definite fav already!
I have also decided to discontinue my monthly hunts that I used to have on the island. Now don't panic, I haven't discontinued hunts! I will be taking part in 2 grid wide hunts each month and will still have the treasure chests that are scattered all over the island with prizes that change randomly. But with all the freebies floating around out there, I have come to the decision that too much of a good thing is just that, too much. Shop owners hurt their business by giving away too much. I found I spend more time making the freebies than I do making product for the shop. Now, as you all know, I love to give gifts and I love hunts so I wont be doing away with them completely. But I will be doing less of them. I hope you all understand ;) The two upcoming hunts for September are the Mother/Daughter Hunt & the Game Day Hunt for the men. The first gift is an adorable fairy princess outfit for daughters. The Game Day gift is a set of sexy boxer shorts in a variety of colors, so bring you man with you and hunt for the football.
As for the photography contest, it looks like its a go! I have received enough interest so I have begun the rules/expectations etc process and am now on a hunt for a cool shop to house the new studio. I want it fabulous! The jist of it is, win the photo contest and get a spot on TempT island for your very own photography studio- with full use of amazing props and poses, Photolife 3 studio, and an entire beautiful island at your disposal-in exchange for photography work for TempT. Have a full studio, rent free, for an entire season! Contracts will be for 3 months at a time-and include the store front as well ;) For more information, contact LaKira Ratelle in world. I will notify everyone when the contest begins.
Thats it for today. Hope you all have a great weekend!
