In each world there is deco to be done. Even if you are not a deco god try it out. Try to create something cool, something no one has seen before. There are people that say "I can't do that" or "it's not my thing." These people sometimes discover they are really good at it. And how will you know if you don't try? It's the ones that try who create some of the funniest layouts to explore.

I've seen gardens to die for, been to Mars, and attended weddings with rose petals raining down on the guests. Then there are adventures such as ice skating, flying like superman navigating through the city buildings, exploring underwater caves as a mermaid, whitewater rafting, bobsled runs and having a snowball fight.

You can buy your layout or you can make your own. Many of the worlds offer blank canvas or even blank canvas with walls to begin your creation.

Perhaps you want to show your work. There are event contests for holiday layouts and other theme contests. Perhaps someone will want to buy your creation. Possibly you will want to turn your creation into a site for others to experience, such as a club or event venue.

You are limited by your own imagination. There are always people out there willing to help you get started. I encourage you to get your free properties. This is found on your profile under properties. As you scroll down look to your right (if you are in rlc or eros) you will see how much it costs. When you see the word "free" that is your free spot. Add it to your cart and check out.

Now you have your first property. Go to the arrow that pulls down when you are going to log out. You will see Prop Editor - click. Now you are ready to deco. Explore. Just have fun. You may find that you are an artist of virtual proportions.

The controls you have are in the tool box. The one that looks like a piece of paper will bring up props that you can use. Pick one. You must click on "create" when you find what you would like to use. Then use your controls to move it around. Right click on the object and you will see "place" and "property". You will see choices - play with them. Explore the arrows up, down, side to side, even rotate. Who cares if the couch is in the air? You are trying, that is what counts.

I would love to see what you have created. If you would like to share your deco god/goddess projects email me your creations. And if you need deco help ask someone. There are always people who love to help. Good luck and don't be afraid to deco, you'll be surprised - your friends may be amazed.
