guide | Fifty Shades of Free...

Ho, ho, ho….er what did you just call me?! Hello and welcome to my first ‘official’ post! Yaaaay and shit! I bring you good will, tidings and, most importantly, great bargains! All you need this Holiday season both in (and out ;D) of your Christmas stocking. This is also a chance to show off a stunning location, the reindeer village, which is where my shoot took place. The location contains an abandoned workshop, shattered igloo and er…half a Christmas tree? Very traditional and yet slightly off base, which I love. Upon landing in the North pole however, I was shocked to find no sign of Mr Claus himself! I resolved to search the workshop for him…

Location: Santa’s Reindeer Village @ Silver Myst Ranch

Tourist Stop!

Oddly, I didn’t find any reindeer in Santa’s reindeer village! Nor any elves, nor any sign of the big man himself. I did however find an indigenous species of intelligent polar bear. Upon approaching these bears, I found them not only friendly but talkative! So, I did what any girl would do and took the opportunity for some STF: Silly Tourist Photos! Shown in the picture above are just a few of the fun festive hunt items out and around the grid. For more info on hunts, check my links section 🙂

Psssst….Keep your eyes on that pipe. There’s a special coming up on it and its friends later on…

I uh….found Santa?

It turned out that poor dear Santa was little more than a mortal man. I caught up with him, and found he’d ah…lost a few pounds! (yes, I am a rather sick person.) And yes…this is a terrifically poor excuse to show off my new best friend: an animated freebie skeleton from Glitterati hee hee

‘Santa’: Glitterati – bones!

A Small Interlude….

Just taking a short interlude to add more – yes, more! you lucky people! – for my bumper Christmas opener. To the left is a bit of a mix and match – hunt items and group gifts while on the right is the really rather fabulous group gift from Magika, whose creator rarely disappoints with her subscrib-o gifts. Watch out though…might be a bit crowded at the landing point! Right behind you is your subscriber, hit that, then grab your gift! Simples!

He IS Real! Kinda…

I needn’t have worried though: the bears have it covered. In an exclusive interview with Santa bear (pictured above), I learned that since the polar icecaps have started to melt in their region, ‘Santa’ and his cubs needed a new home. They came across Mr Claus’ place and seem to have settled in quite nicely. Don’t be fooled though. These bears know a thing or two about what you’ve been up to…it took me far too long to convince Santa I’d been good this year. Spatulas and whips aside. And uh…maybe the odd kidnap charge. However, he finally agreed to let me go with a warning and this free, animated giftbox from *Everglow*…

This is exactly my style: thank you very much, Lori Stanton. We salute you!

Anywaaaay, having got my goody bag, I bid farewell to the bears and strode out to face what might be my last day on earth tomorrow. Are you ready? 21/12/12, the end of the world! Watch this space Friday, when I’ll be preparing an End of the World special!

Hopefully I haven’t rambled on too much! For a first post, this has been admittedly quite large though I merely wanted to fill in some space! An empty blog is a sad thing…do hit follow, check out my links for similar sites and see below for information on the relevant hunts used. Enjoy and see you all tomorrow!
