In April of 2007, I uploaded my first Sims story to TSR, as simply a thing out of boredom, not knowing how much more involved in it I would become. In March 2008, I started my first personal blog, following suit with so many others I had seen. Here almost a year later, I look back and smile because that's when I met most of you who have become my good friends. I've always loved reading and writing, I suppose you could call me a bookworm and having the freedom to write whatever I want has been one of the most liberating things I have ever done. I owe so much gratitude to you all who have commented and read my stories, especially; Beth, Chari, Cherie, Cheryl, Gayl, Karen and Sandy.I am so happy to be a part of the Alliance with you all and adore the support and help you all are so willing to give. It's not often you find such a welcoming group of people, especially online. So I want to thank you all for sharing your sims with me (I took good care of them, I promise!) and most of all for sharing this past year with me through storytelling.
I look forward to reading everyone's stories as I finish up my own this coming year and taking a break as well to focus on the next phase of my life that is right around the corner. I cannot thank you enough and hope you keep an open invitation for me when my writing bug bites me again as I'm sure one day it will...
~Thank you, even though it doesn't seem like enough to say, Emily~
*Click on each person's category on the left to see their photoshoots, I intend to keep this blog open though for any future ones, Sims related or not. I will let you know if I post anything new!*

Those are fantastic Emily. All the shots have such great angles and composition, nice lighting and effects too!
I know I haven't known you as long as the others but I've been thankful for your support as well during my time at S2WA. It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know you through your stories.
I hope all goes well with the birth. It's such a wonderful thing, motherhood. I am glad that you'll still be around though when you get a spare moment or two but understandable given how life will be changing if you can't. They grow so fast so enjoy every moment of it.
Emily this was really wonderful! I do hope you will find time to write after the baby comes although I know how busy it will be at first. Your writing is such a joy to read.
I wish you all the best. It has been great knowing you as well.
Your photo shoots were absolutely stunning! The essence of each character shining through. I loved them.
Emily this was brilliant!The shots are perfect and everyone's Sims look so happy!:)
As said before I haven't known you as long as everyone else but, the little time I have known you, has been nothing but pleasure! Your stories are amazing and your comments are always appreciated!
I know you have a little bundle of joy coming(right around the corner!) I hope the process is smooth!
Emily, you made me cry. I'm still crying. What a beautiful, lovely gift. Thank you. It has been such a pleasure meeting you -- you have such talent and such light.

Thank you for the kind wishes, I am very excited and overwhelmed at the same time and cannot wait for him to get here! :D
Thank you Gayl, I seem to always have plots running through my head, so nap time might just be write time for me! It drives me crazy sometimes to let it all stay up there! :D
I did try to show the character's personalities a little through the shots, so I'm glad that came across!
It's been wonderful getting to know you too and I will continue to love to read your work!
Thanks Cheryl! I just had a lot of fun with this.
Same here, I always enjoy reading your comments and love the work you do as well even though I'm still behind! :D
Yes only a few short weeks to go! I'm very excited and getting impatient too :P
The kind words mean everything to me so, thank you again.
*Hands Beth a tissue* Sorry, no warning ahead of time! I just love all you guys, you all are wonderful!
Gabe was the first one I did and he still insists that his are better than everyone elses. Go figure...
I'm so glad you liked it, I really enjoyed doing it for you guys. :D
Thank you Cherie! Same here, I always love reading your comments and really enjoy what you do as well.
I hardly left any shots the way they were from the actual game, I had too much fun in paintshop! It was a lot of fun though.
Thank you, I am looking forward to it!

Thank you Karen, I just wanted to do a little something to show my appreciation.
I'm so glad you all enjoy my stories too, it keeps me going!
Thank you Sandy! I probably will still keep writing, I have a very overactive imagination, last night I was toying with doing an alien story! :D
I can't wait really, I've been looking forward to having kids for a while and now it's finally happening!
It was so much fun to do this and I really do appreciate the endless support everyone's given me.
