Both of you are ahead of me...I haven't got mine to QA yet. Hopefully this term holiday I will get it to a point where I can submit it...school has been crazy this year and we been having a lot of changes which of course mean more work.

Thanks Jan!
Daylight Savings Time is pure evil! And of course, this week it's even darker in the morning because of cloudy weather and rain. There should be a law against beginning DST unless the weather forecast is BRIGHT AND SUNNY! It's even harder getting adjusted this year because I look outside, see it's still darkish, and think I have another hour or so before I have to get up. Even when the alarm just went off! Apparently, my brain things my eyes are more reliable than my ears.
Unfortunately, there are some rather powerful lobbyests who support Daylight Sayings Time. Like ... the Association for Convenience and Fuel Retailing who are actually pushing for it to start earlier in the year!!! Apparently, people tend to get out and drive (hence using more gas) when it stays light later. Chamber of Commerce is another lobbying for earlier Daylight Savings Time. Because ... retailers sell more gardening, home repair and sports equipment with extended evening daylight hours. Then we have the golf industry lobbyists. All of whom found that starting DST a month earlier as of 1986 has resulted in millions (billions in terms of gas sales) for those industries.
Farmers on the other hand are opposed to DST (it's even more disruptive to farmers than the rest of us). Of course, we were taught in school DST was instituted to benefit farmers. But, that's not true. It was actually proposed to save candle wax in the evening hours and instituted first during WW1 by Germany seeking cost savings ... then Britain three weeks later, and finally in 1918 by the US. We WOULD have to leap on that bandwagon
Yet one more thing we can blame on the war to end all wars!
You're welcome, Satira.
DST will work a number on the body clock, that's for sure. I figured there was profit in it for someone, or we wouldn't keep going back and forth, timewise, like a yo yo. I do feel for the farmers. Lacking clocks, the animals probably get confused when the humans show up early for the milking. I read that DST was instituted during one of the world wars. I guess it made sense then, to conserve everything, including daylight. Congrats again on your store products. That's an achievement! I hope you rewarded yourself appropriately. Good morning, everyone. I hope you all have a great day, and that the weather is lovely, wherever you are. Doll insisted on getting up at 3:30 to assert her territorial rights -- a rabbit was in the yard. I wish her body clock would wind down at night.
Have a great day, and Pen, I hope you get a holiday soon. I remember living for the holidays, when I was in the system.
Afternoon, Miss B.
Kewl, I'm back to texturing the Cutie Pie dress for Diva for use in the Poser Cloth Room. IOW, as Dynamic clothes.
I also downloaded the full Dawn version Sanbie posted, so I may try the same texture sets for that too, also Dynamic. I'll have to see how much time I have.

Good morning Jan
Thank you, Lorraine, I did.
Get back to sleep. And the rabbit skittered out of the yard before Dolly could blink twice. I hope you rested well last night. I don't know about you, but I get grouchy if I don't sleep right. Those are lovely textures!Hello, MissB.
Good morning to everyone.
Little Miss Diva is gonna have a NICE wardrobe
The outfit is adorable!
And morning/afternoon, Miss B.
I'm off to try and get a couple of small things rendered. Here's hoping I can keep them small and simple for once! LOL
