"Honey, I Shrunk the Steves" MORE PICS!

I've had a lot of requests for an album on the "Honey, I Shrunk the Steves" map so  I'm posting them here, on my blog. :)

I've been hard at work doing landscaping and adding more (yes, more!) detail on the map lol. 

There's bits and pieces that I wasn't happy with before that I find myself tinkering with daily. Mainly it's the exterior that has been getting some TLC. 

I spent so much time with the small details inside that I ended up with a giant brick wall all around the house....not very appealing. So, I've added some gardening and fences as well as roof and brick details.

I don't know if you guys read about it on my twitter but I've been considering turning this into an adventure map once the house is finished. I even built a train station that takes you to the mailbox as a starter point for it. 

Unfortunately, I've never created an adventure map and need some serious help with it. 

If anyone is interested, you can reply here on my blog with the following information:

Your Gamertag:
Pictures/Links to any adventure builds you've created:
How often are you on xbox"
How many hours you can work on the build daily/weekly:
Your age:

I know age doesn't tell your maturity but I get a lot of younger kids who want to play/build and after a little while they get bored and start trolling/griefing. I don't have time for that, I'm sorry.

Ok, here's the photo's I promised:

Here's the kitchen, I know it looks gritty but I had to add filters to light it up. :/

This is the master bedroom.

This is the spare bedroom.

Here's part of the backyard.

Makeupbee.com Halloween Competition!

I guess I never mentioned this to you guys before but I love love love make up!

I don't wear it on a daily basis because I try to treat my skin good since I do have issues with it from time to time but I dabble in creative make up. :)

I love bright colors and dramatic looks and so I came across makeupbee.com on Pinterest and decided to try my hand on a Halloween look for a competition they're having. I haven't really messed with my make ups in a while and I am in dire need of new colors and brushes but I did the best I could with what I have.

Here's my Babydoll look :)

The competition is based on how many votes you get and anyone can vote on the site so I was hoping, if you like my look, that you guys could go vote for me too. :) Here's the link:

I might make this a more frequent thing I post about too, idk. I'm so random! Crochet, video games, and make up. HA! But that's me, and I'm not conforming to anyone's idea of who or how I should be, and neither should you. :) <3

Thanks for reading.

All You Minecrafters!

Sooo I was checking out OXM magazine on twitter a couple of weeks ago when I ran across a build competition for Minecrafters on Xbox worth 800 microsoft points to the top 5 winners and I said to myself...HECK YES!!

I quickly jumped on and added OXM to a couple of my favoritest builds and took screenshots to then tweet to OXM magazine's UK twitter.

Keep in mind that ALL of my creations have sub-creators and master builders who work along side me to create these awesome builds. In a later post I will be detailing my collaborators so if you're one of them and you're reading this...would you like just your gamer tag mentioned, your real name, or both and let me know if you have a site or page that you want to shout out?

Here were my submissions:

 This one is a bird's eye view of a city currently still under construction. The city so far boasts a bank, hospital, police station, fire department, restaurants, clubs, kwi-e-mart, gas station, church, botanical garden, office buildings, pre-school. elementary school, high school, McDonalds, Krusty Krab, Taco truck, Ice cream truck, suburbs, community pool, hot air balloon, and a full mall with a food court, movie theater and nearly a dozen stores!

And this one is a theme park that is already finished. It has two roller coasters, two water slides, two mazes, a food court, cookie kiosk, cake kiosk, tons of pixel art, bow and arrow mini games, a tunnel of love, bumper boats, and even a music fun house.

The city submission got me into the TOP 5 and the theme park got honorable mention! I'm saving most of my points for the next DLC content which should be dropping in the next few weeks. 

If you would like to see the article about the competition and the other winners and honorably mentioned click here:

I'm hoping to create a section in this blog to walk you through my creations picture by picture for those of you interested. If you have any Minecraft 360 creations you would like to show off, leave a comment with your gamer tag or send me a message on Xbox, my gamer tag is La Lady Panda.
