Thanks so much to Kianne for my house! I love it and I really love having my RL cat there too! Fantasic job! Published on skyfire under medium homes, Luna's Manor

So, Shan/Spex, did everyone finish?

who still can't believe: a) before the deadline and b) before other people!

1 person on AB needed an extension, but yes, the swap is otherwise concluded. Everyone else on ALL participating servers, including AB may enter / publish their homes. The homeowner is aware of the situation.

WoW, love it (see in-game mail also). Thank you very much Lunarosa.

The home is published: Skyfire, small homes --> The Turtle Lair (GNG17) by Lunarosa

You are more than welcome i enjoyed doing it , hopefully some one will be nice enough to video tour it for you .. it was a pleasure to do for you

all the best

(Psst: you could do the video yourself, Kianne, and point out all the things the rest of us might miss! Or let your fellow Brit tackle it [yes, I'm volunteering you, Feb!]? )

Well I'm at work today and occasionally browsing the forums when I shouldn't be, oops However, I'll be happy to put it on my to-do list for when I get home. I'll check the spreadsheet (I can't see it at work) and post later on when I can all being well!

AHH miss kitty you missed the bathroom upstairs and on the path to the left when entering to the house u sneak in there is another seating area and bears...lols, but Ratbill did awesome and I'm super happy!

Grats to all involved in the GNG 2017 House Swap! I saw some absolutely STUNNING homes, some truly amazing creativity, and really gratifying community action in this event.

3 cheers to Shanette for hosting this event! I guess it probably wasn't at all times easy, fun, or without headaches, so really, kudos to you!

Here's hoping you'll recover by NoTD for the next one! <snicker>

but you can call me Eli, all my friends do.

Aww man! I hate when I miss whole rooms!
But hopefully others will run over and check it out for themselves to see it until I can add a Part 2 with those areas.

So now that the swap is concluded and (almost) all of the homes have been published, I wanted to extend a huge thank you to all that participated, and say that I'm glad everyone had so much fun. While running these swaps is a lot of work and can be kind of a headache some days, The payoff makes it all worthwhile. I've seen some really creative and fabulous designs, and can tell that people really enjoyed themselves decorating for their homeowners.

I also would like to take a moment to extend a massive thank you to Wizzam, who has been my superstar and MVP during this whole swap. Not only did she take on more homes than she was assigned to help me out where it was needed on 3 different servers, but she also volunteered her time to help others with several things, whether it was crafting items for them, relaying messages to me, or just helping someone out by doing checks and giving opinions and feedback. She has been a priceless asset to this whole process, and I would have been completely lost without her help and support. Someone get this woman ALL the tacos! <3

I am overjoyed at the extent the community comes together on events like this, and can't wait for our next big adventure!
Stay tuned!

Soon. ™

Really thank you Shanette, without you there wouldnt have been a GnG! And thank you to Wizzam!! Holy crap girl I have no idea how you did so much in such a short time. Thank you both, this was so so so much fun!

Oh Kianne,
I love my house!! The windows (I am a big windows fan) , the huge rooms, that bathroom is amazing. I love all the details from the curtains to the clocks, simply amazing. I am in awe with the way you just made that huge house. And that heated pool house..........I can not wait to move in!

This House Swap was so much fun and I thank you so much Shanette for doing this and a big *High Five* to Wizzam for all of her help.

Everyone has done such a great job, I really enjoyed watching all of the videos as it gets the creativity flowing for sure. So many talented people, I loved all the houses for sure!

Thanks again and I can not wait for the next one!!!

Why do I have the impression that Wizzam is one of those folks who can come in, look around at a place, go "Ah! Of course!", sneeze with her hands full of house items, and voila, it's done and perfect?

I sure wish this was the case! When I have an idea, I don't stop. I order pizza, I make the kids feed the cats and I just keep going. When I don't have an idea, I slug around, I do everything BUT the decorating. I'm sure there are many of you that see my character flitting about with her afk tag on. That's when I'm in the zone. I'm not ignoring you, I'm focused. I shut off chat and I go!

OMG, you too? But I bet you're still infinitely faster than I am (not hard; everyone is). ;->

Be careful of going /afk and moving; apparently, the Powers That Be think everyone that does that is a bunch of evil botters and it could get you into trouble, ostensibly. :-/
