Krissy here! Just sending a postcard from Azeroth, my home away from home. My little vacation to that land of dungeons and monsters has turned into quite the stay. I'm loving it! I have a cute little Blood Elf Mage at level 54 and another Blood Elf Warlock at 8. I just started the Warlock, she's super fun. Second Life is still the place I come back to. But after months of wandering the grid aimlessly, no longer feeling inspired or captivated, my time in-world began to dwindle before I knew it.
It would seem like this is the typical "But I'll be back!" speech, only there's a fun little twist. On my way out of SL, I decided to open a business! Yeah, I work backward like that. Here's how it all went down: Because I wanted a place to call home, without the $L7700 tier (for 30 minutes of SL per week?) I moved to a patch of wildflowers on Ctrl-Shift-H.
Rooting through my inventory, I found digital collages that I had once uploaded, intending to sell. On a whim, I rented a shop on the same sim and threw 'em up. I thought why not? Within eight days I made my shop rent back and received a gallery offer. Woot! It's still in the 'pilot' stage, but as long as it pays for the rent, I'm happy.

Signage is compliments of Arora Zanzibar, who occupies shop space near me. When I asked her about her 3 prim sculpted sign, she generously made one for me! She was super fast and I really appreciate it because the sign is everything, isn't it? If you like it, she'll make you one too! Check them out, here.
Peeping in the window.... It's a funny feeling to see little versions of my pictures.
So there you have it! And if you're curious, come check out my cute little start-up! Happy day!
