Hey all.. Yes It sure has been a while since I last came on here.. My life has been so hectic and crazy with work and a teenage daughter and work lol and just so many things that I havent even been able to check out anyone elses pics or who has added me to faves or anything.. I hope to get around to that pretty soon...

But.. I did upload my latest pic and I am starting to get some recognition for my pictures now too.. The last one I did for my best friend at work.. It's her son.. so I got to show a few girls around my work my art and I have a line up of requests now..(PAID requests too!!!) So that is reallllyyyyy awesome and is looking up for me.. I sure can see my future being very busy! lol.. But at least now I am gonna be able to make some money doing what I love!! and for that I am extremely excited!!!!

So I am going in for surgery on the 7th of December.. This friday.. I will be home for a couple weeks but I don't know how well I will be able to draw with one of my hands being out of action. Not that it is my primary hand but still I use my other hand to hold onto the tablet and such. Also, I am sure I am going to be in a lot of pain and my wrist is going to have stitches in it and my arm will be in a sort of soft cast/brace for at least 7-10 days *sigh* Soooo I may not be on here for a little while, will be resting up. Oh and to top all that off I just found out that I have high cholesterol too so I have to go on a low fat diet grrrrrrr So much for my chocolate cravings!

So my 1000th pageview is coming up. It would be cool if anyone were to catch it. I don't know really what I have to offer whoever gets it but I guess I could try and draw them a pic of something if that was wanted. Right now I have been kinda busy with work and stuff but any suggestions are more than welcome... Once again, I thank you all for you're supportive, encouraging words and all the favourites. I am surprised at how much people have been enjoying my work actually. Thanks again Love you all!

Edit:- And the winner IS Congrats and Thanks Art!...
