Hello! This is my first post on this site.
I had to join your forum after reading all the wonderfully touching comments here. *blushes deeply* You all have made me so happy, I think I could cry. Thank you so very much! Also, thank you Judy (bshag) for telling me about this site and thread!
To answer your questions, my lots are indeed CC free. Yes, the artwork is also CC free. My friend Dawn made my real life art into CC sim art. The way I keep it CC free is by having a sim with a high skill level in photography photograph the art.
Thanks again everyone! You just made my day!
