I really love Garden of Shadows, because it constantly motivates people to create innovative stuff, no matter your skills or experience.
Unlike the other big sites, GOS still considers the Sims 2 Community pretty much alive, even two years after the release of the Sims 3. Who needs Maxis/EA when we still get the equivalent of whole EPs/SPs worth of nice quality and amazing stuff each month (with the themes, for example)?
I am so glad with my experience this Summer with the Christmas in July exchange. Both the present I got from Sarang and the opportunity to create for voleste were amazing and very fun. I hope I have the time/opportunity to participate next time :).
So, since Voleste has kindly shared her present at GOS, I'd like to send you guys there too:
This is her post at the CiJ thread. Due to space constraints, I sent her small preview pictures of the things I made, squishing three hairs or fours posters per picture. Below you'll get to see the original pictures, including both the hairs and the full sized posters :)
I. Harry Potter Posters

Dumbledore's Army (Well, part of it)
Recolor of the Civic Idol Poster from the Base Game.
Credits: Black0rchid for the location (Fairy Town aka Hogsmeade), Wicked Poppies for Harry and Hermione (all the Sims used had their CC changed to be more Maxis Matchy), Cloudlessnights for the Uniforms, Voleste herself for Luna's hair.
