    I trying to take photos of all and put them on my Flickr. It was taking so long to rez things last night because I was on my laptop, today I have made a start on the PC. Hope no one minds me putting their entries on here. If they do, send me a message and I will remove. I have only photographed 4 entries so far [Went a bit mad photographing Marianne's Hardy as I love that style].

    I think this is a great idea for those people who are not already in Bellisseria to see the possibilities of the new Linden Homes. It's not so much meant for those of us who already know (or that is my take on it). It's advertising for LL more than anything else. 

    Thank you, Sylvia.  Exactly that and a point to the Home Expo and Relay For Life, as well.  Alwin, I am hoping we see a happy many.  Maybe you'll jump in on the next one

    I am really excited about this but I keep getting a message that I am not allowed to teleport into the regions. I've tired various thigns and various fixes and I'm not reinstalling Firestorm in hopes that this helps but it seems other people are having the same problem.

    I have been getting IMs about this over on the 2 demo regions.  The people took off their AVSitter and were then able to tp in.  No idea what's up with that, but will IM and ask about it

    Right now, the regions "Bellisseria Demo" & "Bellisseria Demo 2" are open for anyone to TP in!   The map covers are still in place, but the regions are open to the public :)  Perhaps we should regard this as a private showing for those in the know, because the Home & Garden show that these regions are attached to is not open at this moment - cannot cross into those regions. 

    There is no landing point set yet, but there is an obvious place for one in each region:

    The website for the show (https://slhomegardenexpo.com/) only has two posts relating to this year's show, the rest is either left over info from 2019 or blank.  The banner for 2019 has been taken down, and all that's left is a template banner.  The most recent post, a PrimPerfect call for presenters, makes reference to presentations starting on Sunday.  The other post is an announcement of show dates intended for participants, and does indeed state that the show will open today.  Many green dots are in the H&G areas, but it doesn't seem to be open yet, and no time is given on the website.

    The show's facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/HomeAndGardenExpoSL/) does not appear to have been updated since the 2019 expo.

    There may be a rare SL ACS  organizational stumble in progress, but you guys' show homes look terrific!   Each parcel has signage with style card etc., but so far I haven't seen any RFL donation kiosks.  But anyway, thanks to ACS for hosting this wonderful event!
     

     

    p.s. The "Linden Reveal" region has been detached from the show and now resides slightly northeast on the grid.  On the map, it still looks like the Christmas Expo version.

    ETA: Usually I would leave it to Nikki to announce this, but she isn't usually around until much later.  Expectations were set for today, so apologies Nikki if I've jumped the gun.

    Thank you, Nika!  Yes, I'm glad you did this.  I couldn't WAIT to get home today and announce.  I meant to do it last night but DROPPED in bed with all of 6 hours left until I had to get up and face the 8 degree morning air.  UGH

    So, I put refrigerator magnets in the kitchen of the Alderley.  They are also visitor list makers and free to copy (help yourselves)!  They tell me that we had a pretty good day today at least down in the very back of the 2 regions with about 50 visitors.  That's not too bad.  I posted an announcement thread and I have to admit I'll be sad to see this one trickle it's way down and gone.  LOL  When I got home tonight, I had a few more style cards that had been sent in so now all homes should have style cards.

    I'm not sure what's up with The Expo's website.  I think the girl she had doing that hasn't been in to take care of it.  Making a note to ask her if she needs some help.  The Expo and all the RFL mega events are MASSIVE projects and opening day is there before you know it. 

    Thank you ALL for your support!! as you visit the models.  and THANK YOU to the designers who stepped forward, I applaud you all!!

  5. Come visit the Bellisseria models adjoined to the Home &  Garden Expo 2020!  Come check out the amazing showcase of how they can be decorated using the allotted land impact in Bellisseria.  We are happy to show you what we've done with these new linden homes.  Be sure and grab a style card at each of our models.  Open NOW through March 5th!

  6. aww.. you guys, are making me choked and smile at the same time.  This.. couldn't have been any better and it hasn't even opened yet.  You are warming my heart and reminding me why I've made fighting cancer such a big part of my life, for a long time now.  It is such a privilege for me, to share this first time experience with all of you and I don't know that, 'Thank you' conveys, even close, to how much it's meant to me.  You're a fine representation of all that the Bellisseria community is, that's for sure and I'm proud to be just a tiny part of it.

    I've noticed this also - seems like every time I rezz in to the area it's dark.

    lol I didn't notice because I just have my sky set to always light.  I messaged Constantine though and he came right over and turned it to the default day/night cycle.  He said it was still set on night settings from when the regions were at Xmas Expo.  I'm sure glad you guys said something.  I didn't even think to check that.  SMH I should have.  I've been a major multi-tasking me this week.

    I still have just shy of 20 prims left from memory (give or take) but can't get in world yet to use them as SL is undergoing maintenance as we speak. Ordinarily I like to keep some spare for attachments etc but since the aim of the game is to show what can be done with the prim allowance I'm determined to go crazy and use every single prim. That's why I've started using a few items that are higher LI than I'm used to. At least I have the style card done, I just need to use up the last few prims and then can send that through. :) 

    @Nikki Mathieson; speaking of the style card, after we list everything used is there anything else we need to add?

    Despite my initial reservations regarding time I must admit I've enjoyed this more than I expected. It's like a cloistered version of Belli anyway but with the familiar faces from the forums (for the most part). It's great to see you all in your elements! As silly as it sounds I got a little star-struck in a way. Seeing pictures of what you all do is not the same as seeing it in world, at least to me. And seeing all the plots come alive with so many different styles is fun too. It's showcasing personalities as much as it is personal style or anything else.

    Personally I would definitely be interested in doing something like this again (if there were spaces available of course, I wouldn't want to stop anyone else from having a turn). 

    ❤️

    For the style card, besides listing items used, be sure to add who YOU are.  If you're a builder/designer, please feel free to add that and any links you'd like to put in, also.

    You really made me smile, Rae.  I feel the same way.  This has already been so fun and I, too have felt.. well, like what an honor to get to do this beside all of you.  I definitely want to do it again.  We'll be needing more room for the next one, @Patch Linden  lol

    Maybe I can help with the style cards.

    Long ago and far away, my partner bought me this tool

    https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Full-SIM-Object-Scanner-Pro-BOXED/2428734

    It has paid for itself over and over again, as we've moved from here to there.

    If you like and if I can have build perms, I can run this for anyone who wants; you'd have to edit the spreadsheet down but it might be a shortcut to a style card.  (for a single parcel, takes less than 2 minutes.  For a whole region, less than 10 minutes).

    It can be used to just scan a single parcel and produce a spreadsheet of every object in the parcel (or region),  its owner, its location, the LI and creator (no, not store).  I assume each home is on its own parcel?  Or, if you like, I can just do one scan of the entire region and everyone can sort the list by owner or whatever to get the info they want.  Of course, if you've linked a whole lot together, you'll only get one line for the entire linkset.

    Another thing this tool lists is the item script count, which reminds me: it might help those who come to the expo if you removed unneeded (e.g. texture change, curtain closer, etc.) scripts after your build is done.

    Thank you, Nika.  I think this would be great for those who don't link but I know many link every prim they possibly can to stretch the land impact. When I message about style cards, I'll mention that this is an option, too and that they can contact you for that option.  Again, a style card can be an extra thing we do but not a firm requirement

    OK. Scrolling back and trying to figure out what the stylecard is???????? 

    Reread notecard. Nothing much about that. Did I miss something I am supposed to do? ^^

    Sorry, Chic..  yes, it isn't on the notecard because I just thought about this today and I do think it would be a great thing to do. For you, it would be making a notecard about the Bellisseria model you decorated.  It would be who the decorator (you) is and whose items are on display, etc.  Some items used may not even be available anymore and that's okay.  It's like what a blogger does when he credits the builder(s).  I do feel like it would be cool to do the same thing.  The notecards can be sent to me.  I will IM every person decorating and let them know about a style card option.  If someone doesn't want to do a style card, that's okay, too.  I'm not going to stomp my foot and insist.

    Yeah rectangular made it extremely difficult... O.o

    But those are the more common ones in-world so makes sense for a showcase.

     

    Will there be an official 'info kiosk' to place in the build or should I just rez a prim with a sign saying "click for style card / etc" ;)

     

    Yes, there will be an official info kiosk and everyone can create their style card for the kiosk.  You will be able to slip the notecard right into the sign/kiosk.  

  12. UPDATE:

    I've sent out landmarks and info (inworld) to all those who have signed up.  We were gifted with extra spots today, so we do have some still open, if you want to do another one.

    3 houseboats - 1 Windlass and 2 - style of your choice

    4 campers - Sun Valley, Sequoia, Laramie, The Newport

    2 Traditionals - style of your choice - EDIT

    2 Victorians - style of your choice - EDIT

    Thank you for sharing that!  For me, camming around the neighborhoods is kinda hazardous.I see something that would be great in a build, and go disrupt a place I just about had done.  Or I go looking for something somebody used, and end up spending an hour combing the universe for it.

    Speaking of camming, if I have time today I'll zip in and cam around to see if I can find a terrific build for the ones you're missing, Nikki.  I'll send the person a compliment and let them know about the expo.  Wish I could remember where that wonderful campy hotel camper is, you know, the one with the big sign?  IIRC, it's one of the smaller models.

    Thank you again, Nika.  I need to keep you during all of Relay For Life season.  lol  You're awesome!
