After a bit of a snafu (I love that word! lol!) I finally have the new vendor system up and running!
You will LOVE this! There are now new vendors at *Just BECAUSE* that allows you to send as a gift, has a redelivery option in case something should happen and you didn't get it the first time, buy and use gift cards, and here's the best part - EARN STORE CREDIT! With every purchase you buy you will earn store credit that you can use to buy something at *Just BECAUSE* at no extra cost! And guess what?? GROUP MEMBERS GET EVEN MORE STORE CREDIT over regular customers! Yup, this is my way of thanking you for not only shopping at *Just BECAUSE*, but if you are a group member you get rewarded even more! Isn't that the coolest thing ever??? I'm pretty excited about these new vendors! :)
So come on over to *Just BECAUSE* and start earning store credit!

UPDATE!! PLEASE READ!!!
UPDATE!!!! PLEASE READ!!!
I'll be putting a new Group Gift out tomorrow or Friday of this week, but please note that my group gifts from here on out will be made of mesh and they will be original creations by me. QUALITY STUFF! Because of this I'll be adding a joining fee for my group because making original mesh for both genders with all 5 standard sizes takes a lot of time and money. Right now it is 0L joining fee, but when I go to put up the new group gifts I will be changing the joining fee to 99L, SO JOIN THE GROUP NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY 99L! And please be aware that if you leave the group you will have to pay 99L to rejoin. A one time 99L spent is very small when you get original mesh clothing free. :)
Here's the link to the *Just BECAUSE* group:

Cough Cough Cough!
Isn't this a cute picture I found on the internet? Cute in a sad way, of course... Hee hee! Because this is how I've been feeling.
For the past 4 days I have been sick with a nasty cold and I still have it, so I'm going to cancel tonight's "Coffee with Annie" event. I'm exhausted from coughing and not sleeping. I just don't have the energy. :(
Speaking of Coffee with Annie, I've been doing some thinking about how to make it even better! Starting next month I'm going to make Coffee with Annie a once a month event. These events take a lot of work and having it twice a month was starting to overwhelm me along with all of my other store and creation duties. So, in order to keep my sanity and make sure each event was the best it could be, I've decided once a month is the best way to go. :)
Also, I really enjoyed having a special guest at our last Coffee with Annie, so I plan to keep doing that! I don't know if it will be every Coffee with Annie, but I hope to have a special guest at most of them. We also spent the time voicing in chat and it made the event just fly by! It was so much more interactive and fun that I plan on making this the way we have these events. People who attend don't have to speak, but we do ask that you can at least hear what is going on. Trying to type and talk at the same time was difficult. I'm not the best mutli-tasker! LOL!
These special Coffee with Annie events are your times to give me ideas and suggestions, and one of those suggestions was for *Just BECAUSE* to have a fashion show, so I'm hoping to do that this coming Fall/Winter! So keep an eye out for future updates on how that is progressing. :)
I have some other news to talk about but I'm going to get that in another blog post because it truly does deserve it's own posting. Plus, I need to take a break and rest. Remember that little sad looking green guy at the beginning of this post? Yeah, that's still me, so I'm going to go shuffle away now, drink some tea, and rest. Hugs!!

I made my First Rigged MESH!!!
"Gabby" is a new collection of MESH modern Gatsby inspired dresses in 10 different colors - spring and summer colors and darker vivid primary colors. Perfect for a day at the office or an evening party, or just for running around town! You are sure to find a color that suits your style!
DEMO THIS FIRST PLEASE!
The Gabby dress is a special mesh dress - for 2 big reasons!
First - It's my very first handmade mesh clothing! Yup, I'm super duper proud of myself here! So for this reason I am having this dress at a special low price so all of you can celebrate with me! *does the happy dance!*
Second - I made this mesh is the 5 Standard Sizes, but I ALSO made this dress in the new FORM FITTING MESH! *dances the happy dance even more!*
The *Just BECAUSE* Form Fitting Mesh contained in this folder is a deforming mesh, which means it is a mesh that form fits to your avatar's shape. Unlike the Standard Size Mesh, this means that you can go into Edit > Edit Appearance > Shape and move all of the shape sliders (not just the bones) and the mesh will fit to the form you put it at!
***NOTE: You still have to wear the alpha layer with the Form Fitting Mesh!***
Deforming mesh can only be viewed currently on these Client Viewers:
Niran's Viewer (2.0.5 or Later): http://niranv-sl.blogspot.com/
SnowStorm 1716 (Linden Labs Project Viewer): http://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repo/oz_project-2/rev/255595/index.html
As of right now (February 2013) only people using the viewers listed above can see the deforming mesh correctly. On any other viewer they will see the mesh clothing, but it will look as if they are wearing the wrong size. They won't be able to see the deforming abilities.
Linden Labs is working on integrating deforming mesh into their future viewer releases, which means that 3rd party viewers will then be able to integrate it into their viewers as well.
We at *Just BECAUSE* hope you enjoy trying out this new deforming mesh!
***This outfit has Mesh! You will need a Mesh Enabled Viewer to see this outfit correctly! ***
*** Rigged Mesh items are COPY or TRANSFER Permissions ONLY, depending on which permissions you chose from the store. They are not able to be modified because they are rigged. ***
Remember that at the *Just BECAUSE* store in world you are able to choose which permissions you want, too! You can choose this outfit in Copy or in Transfer, so you can buy for yourself or for that special person in your life.
BUY IT ON THE MARKETPLACE!

LOTS Going On! New Stuff and NEWS!
A lot is going on at *Just BECAUSE* right now! But first, the latest -
*Just BECAUSE* is starting a new process of offering separates of the new outfits being released! We've started this process with the latest "Shawn" outfit. You can now buy the entire outfit OR buy just the few items that you like from that outfit! This will change your whole shopping experience at *Just BECAUSE*! You'll still have the choice of permissions that you have always enjoyed, but now you get the choice of what piece of clothing you wish to buy as well!
Buy it inworld!
Next on the order of things to announce -
You may have noticed that *Just BECAUSE* has another new team member. I'd like to introduce you to my cool assistant, Dakota Xavorin! He begged me to let him come on board (like on his hands and knees...pleading "PLEASE let me work for you!" Why yes, yes he did.... Don't let him tell you otherwise! ;P Hahaha! Just kidding!) to help with anything I may need help with to free up more of my time so I can focus on creating clothes. AND to be able to create more awesome group gifts for all of you too! See? Now you REALLY love him, don't you?? ;D He's been my right hand man for sending notices, handling customer service, helping with hunts and special events and sales, and getting the word out. He's one awesome Dude! Feel free to IM, notecard, email, and follow him on facebook!
And now onto some more cool news!
I'm working on remodeling the *Just BECAUSE* store to help accommodate for the new process of having more separates available! And since I'm remodeling I might as well give *Just BECAUSE* a new face lift as well, right? Why, yes, yes I will! :D So in the next coming days I will be working on the store. I will not close the store down or make a new build. I'll just work on the current one. So I do apologize in advance for the coming mess that will ensue. BUT it shouldn't be so bad that shopping will be hindered. I'm a clean mess maker anyway! LOL!
Also, a special day is coming! *Just BECAUSE* will be celebrating it's 2nd birthday this coming November 1st! Crazy how it has been 2 years already! Time flies when you're having this much fun! Anyway, to celebrate this special occasion I am making a super special group gift for all of my loyal group members! This one is going to be awesome! Woot!
Speaking of group gifts, I have to bring up the fact that to join the *Just BECAUSE* group in world you will have to pay a very low price of 50L. This will not affect current group members at all, BUT if you leave the group and want to get back in you will have to pay the joining fee. So make sure you don't leave the group! This small cost to you will be all worth it though, considering how many awesome free gifts you will get. As I said above, I plan on making more now that I'll have more time to create! (Thank you again, Dakota!)
Last item of news that you'll all want to know -
*Just BECAUSE* will be participating in the upcoming WomenSTUFF hunt! It starts November 3rd! That's right.... another way to get a free gift from *Just BECAUSE*!! I'm very honored and pleased to be involved in this hunt and I know that all of you will love to gather up all of the free items you will find in it!
So all in all, everything is moving along spectacularly! Lots of love and hugs to all of you! You guys ROCK!
