Where I document my happenings, my life, and my thoughts.
So if you haven't heard yet, I am this round's Creator in Residency. WOO!!! I'm super excited about this! The timing is just right too. This round goes to the end of May which lines up nicely with summer break so I don't get to miss out on any summer shenanigans with my boys. Depending on how much work I end up doing, I might have to put some of the other projects on hold, but at the same time, some of the projects line up nicely with the residency. We'll see how the next few months pan out.

I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday season. I expect 2023 will be one of my best years yet! Why? Because I have worked so hard to make to so.
So let's have a look at what's coming up for this year.....
This is a new, once a month "podcast style" interview on Twitch where I talk with some of your favorite creators to learn about how they got started and what kind of things inspire them. My first guest was the one and only gaf210! We spoke of many things including his history with IMVU and his involvement with the community.
See his full interview here.
JazzKat was my second interview which took place on Jan 10th. I will eventually put up a dedicated page on the site where all of the interviews will live. In the mean time, look out for his interview on YouTube in the coming week.
I have plans for this year to start creating more tutorials....once this dog pet is done. LOL I get frequent requests for tutorials, especially for learning Studio, so I will start small and work my way up through each feature and hopefully make the transition a bit easier for veteran and newer creators alike! Feel free to pop a comment below about what you would like to learn.
My little experiment with etsy went fairly well. I want to start putting more effort into it, especially as we start to approach the racing season. In case you were unaware, I grew up around the races, specifically sprint car racing, and there is a shocking lack of merch related to general sprint car racing. I want to start filling that niche. If you want to purchase sprint car merch, I do suggest RedBubble over etsy, as there are no shop fees and prices can be lower, however, etsy has a pretty wide reach, hence me doing multiple platforms.
Yessssssss. It's secret, but you will find out about it soon enough. :D

Well I realise it's been a minute since I have updated you guys on the happenings of me and IMVU, so here it is!!
Small Business Saturday was last Saturday and a HUGE SUCCESS!! Also the 10 year anniverary of the first SBS. I live streamed the event for 5 HOURS while Gaf210 room hopped to all of the rooms for 2 days!! The man is a beast!
See the full stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1663445714
See Gaf's photo album here: https://gaf210.gafcodes.com/sbs/
Also, check out his video!!
And here is the highlight reel I made. The 5 hour stream was condensed down to 10 minutes! This was probably the best SBS yet.
Currently we are working on making a dog pet on the Twitch streams and it has proven to be quite the challenge. I am hopeful that it will be done before Christmas, but because of the complexity of the mesh, it will be cutting it close. Feel free to join us!|
Live streams are on Thursdays starting at 6pm Central time.

The 2022 is almost done and I have sevral ideas up my sleeves for the New Year. I am extremely excited for what the future holds and I hope you guys want to come along for the ride.
Love you all!!
Well folks our favourite time of year is moving in quite quickly! Before you know it we will all be stuffing our faces with candy and scaring the bajesus out of young trick or treaters. I freakin love it. LOL Now I'm not exactly taking requests because that usually leads to burnout on my part, but I am totally up for suggestions. I want to try to support any Halloween celebrations that Gaf210 plans on having with my usually fun gifts and a live stream, but this is Halloween we are talking about here. I do tend to enjoy it in the flesh. :P I'll keep you posted on the plans of the season as they progress. But for sure post any product ideas you may have below or join us for a live stream and we can have a lively discussion.
Every Wednesday and 6pm Central (Chicago) time

Coming July 23 2022!!
The Christmas in July celebration is an event Gaf210 hosts every year where IMVU users can show off their products and rooms. It is halfway to Small Business Saturday and is a great way to support IMVU creators! I will be live streaming this event again this year with a way to earn free gifts....if you can find me. :D More details on this soon, but in the mean time, check out Gaf's official page below!
