Homemaker Halloween Freebies


A quick post here before the bewitching hour gets me.

You've probably heard that there is a trick or treat event going on at the MALT and Juicy sims. Quite a few designers have joined in with some fun prizes that won't hurt your pocketbook. Pay $1 to click on the very pretty harvest basket and get a prize.

I did a little perusing of some of the offerings and decided to try my luck at Mudhoney. Not only do I love Mudhoney's designs, I need housewares more than clothes these days. The joke was a tad bit on me, but I have no complaints. I was busily clicking the trick or treat basket thinking that one of the prizes was the chair I am sitting in above. Ten tries or so and seven prizes later, I figured out that the chair wasn't in the basket.


Now I had seen a box for sale for $1 that said it was a garden set, but the contents said it was "just" the table. So, logically (or not) I assumed that was something you could purchase to go with the chairs you won. Well, DUH!

I did buy the table for a linden only to find that when it appeared in my inventory it was an aggregated item. And it turned out to be the set I wanted all along. So #1 this is a wonderful set with some great poses and animations (one where you almost fall asleep and wake yourself up) and #2 you can get the whole set for a buck -- VERY hard to beat that -- in that pink box in the top photo. There are five poses in the chairs and they are adjustable for body placement. I think the chairs are 12 prims a piece.

The Mudhoney prizes include a really cute building block Happy Halloween set, some nice luminarias in various patterns, and two very nice styles of pillow -- both going well with my easy chairs. So, I am a very happy gal.



I should mention that like this basket, many are not all that clear just what you are trick or treating for. There are no bad prizes as far as I know, no wormy apples and the like. So it is a little like a grab bag.


Another great Halloween gift, albeit in a different mode, is the Vampire Cuddle tub from Parajen Homes . They are the makers of the stone house I've lived in since July. This is a superb SOM to join if you have a house or need a house. The tub arrived a couple of days ago and I am guessing it is still in the archives. It has a poseball rez set for cuddling and biting, and it comes with a separate blood splattered floor piece. You could use your own poseballs of course if you are single.

If you TP over to Parajen, you also have a chance to win some great prizes. There are five pumpkins at the TP point. You can pick one and get a prize. One per avatar. I won the grand prize last night, but TPed a bunch of friends in to find out what was in ALL the pumpkins. (Oh-I-am-such-a-good-blogger.)


The biggest prize is this Gothic castle. Three floors and somewhere around 87 prims if I remember correctly. It is BIG.


Other prizes include a fireplace, a bed just like mine (built in poses in foot and poseball system in bed) but with different textures, and an chest with books. There is also a side table not shown. So if any of these would work in your home, come take a chance. If you join the Subscribo, you have the opportunity to vote for next month's prize which is a skybox. When I was there last night, the special feature that was winning the vote was a secret room, and the style most favored was Steam. Works for me.

Whew! That's my news. Have fun out there. Make your homes beautiful.
