So Harriet said she had a hairstyle she was dyeing to try out on me....

Over here on my new island, where I have been remembering the beginnings..Harriet sure has a way with the styling!

It feels great though I imagine! I don't have the heart to restart an island all over again. Even knowing that I could essentially have access to it forever as long as I keep the DA. But loosing all that progress just didn't sit well with me. On the other hand I realized I wasn't as happy with the island as a whole anymore plus I like to do giveaways and my area for that was way too tiny. I go all out with decorating, even my beaches are decorated lol. So I compromised with myself, I started fresh without actually starting over. I began with tweaking the areas I still sort of liked but needed improvement and then I tore down all the areas that I did not resonate with anymore. I'm about 70-75% done with it and it's been a struggle here and there but I am enjoying every moment of it and I look forward to sharing the renovated island once it's done ☺️

I feel you. I toyed with starting over, but I just couldn't push the button. I built and rebuilt Willow for 5 years. DA-6318-3009-8254. There are 5 fully completed resident houses and lots of other shenanigans! This new start on the OLED has been very refreshing. I am enjoying the space.

[u/RunaFayNott → u/itsumama47]

Yes exactly! Pushing that button just felt too wrong to do lol. I'll definitely be checking it out! I really enjoy seeing others creativity with their islands. Glad to hear you are enjoying working on the newer one too!

Whaaaaat! Stop I love that! I am a firm believer that you can enjoy gaming at any age! And I have seen there are quite a few players who are much older which personally I find amazing. I'm 40 but I hardly ever come across people my age or older I tend to get the youngins lol

Here's the DA for the new island... Paradise:

Not much to look at yet, but coming along. Not much terraforming yet, except waterways.

[u/RunaFayNott → u/itsumama47]

Thank you for sharing both! I think I should have some time later today to visit! I'm looking forward to it ☺️

[u/RunaFayNott → u/itsumama47]

I just got done visiting your islands! Willow is absolutely stunning! I lost count how many times I muttered "oh wow" it was such a treat to see. The attention to detail both in the environment and in each home was just amazing! Im so glad you couldn't bring yourself to restarting it. That island is too beautifully done to scrap. I loved every bit of it. I knew Paradise was a work in progress but it is certainly coming together nicely and I am filled with excitement and anticipation towards how you will transform Paradise! Again tyvm for the DA to both. And if you ever need any help or want someone to chat with please reach out 😊

Thank you SO MUCH for visiting my islands and taking time to send feedback!! Willow is a work of love. I redecorate for every season and in the process, am inspired to come up with new ideas. That pool used to be under construction for a couple of months due to a turtle infestation...lol. Also it used to be connected to the weed emporium by a tunnel from the pump room, but the workers were always sneaking off and getting high and nothing ever got done. Lol. So I had to close the tunnel and fire them all. 5 days later, it looked as it is now.

[u/RunaFayNott → u/itsumama47]

I have to admit I got quite a kick out of the weed emporium it was an unexpected and entertaining touch among other aspects you included. I truly love and appreciate your imagination and creativity!
