We're now down to the under 2 week mark for when my family (me, hubby, brother, mom and dad) will be taking a 2 week trip to Orlando and spend time at Disney World, Universal~ and I wanna go to Cirque du Soleil and Arabian Nights. We haven't done a BIG family vacation with my parents oh... in 10 years... and it was to Disney World! That was during my junior year of highschool. I brought home my much beloved poster from Aladdin signed by the voice actors of Al and Jas. I want to bring home another thing for my wall, perhaps a cel or something...

But, since I am going to be gone for 2 weeks, I'm taking a hiatus from stuff~ Meaning, no new commissions until I come back. The ones I have now, I shall work to get them completed before I leave (Dec. 5th) as best I can. This also means, if you want to order anything from my personal website ([link]) - AND YOU KNOW YOU DO! I mean, OMIGOD, who can resist one of these cuties: [link] - get your order in before Dec. 2nd so I have time to get in the mail before I leave.

And one last note~ if you do order an Enchanted Name (that ubber cute chibi I linked above), I've gotten reports the order form is on the fritz (Yeah! I love it when technology goes kurplunk!)~ so you may need to email me personally and we'll work one on one to get your Enchanted Name order going.

Happy Thanksgiving (to those who celebrate it) and don't get yourself killed if you dare to shop on Black Friday!

Commissions: No new orders until I get back from DW

So, yesterday around 6 PM my throat was slightly sore and I thought "Hmm...funny feeling you have throat...I shall pop an extra vitamin C pill for you". This morning, the soreness has moved to the other side of my throat (like it's this living thing this soreness) and as the day progressed, my head feels heavier and heavier. And I go "WTF? This is the symptons of a head cold, but I already HAD my yearly prescribed headcold like a month ago! I don't want nor need TWO!" I shake my fists in fury at the evilness that is the cold and flu season.

My OMG is that we're finally getting a fence in our backyard!! WHOOT! For those who are not homeowners or don't own dogs, you may be under estimating the amount of OMG-ness that should be alotted to getting a fence. Fences are awesome because then puppies (like 65 lb Shepards) can wrestle and play in them, keep the neighborhood kiddies OUT of our yard, and put a lock on said fence so the horrible horrible lawn mow company that the HOA has hired this year won't destroy our backyard grass at least (granted the dog's pee does a great deal of damage as it is)!

Tomorrow I'm leaving for a short trip down to Louisiana to visit my great-grandma. It's going to me, mom and my grandma and grandpa visiting her. She's declining in health, so this is a visit that could potentially be the last visit. So, while it's nice I'll get to see her, it'll be sad knowing it's probably for the last time. We'll return Nov 10th, next Tuesday~ so any notes or comments sent I'll deal with them when I get back. ^^

In other news, I've done horribly thus far for NaNo. ^_^**** Mostly because I've been wrapping up projects to get ready for this trip! But, I am bringing my laptop with me (an old thing that weighs a ton, but it still works!!) and can write in the car while we're traveling. At least I think I can type in the car while we're traveling...I can't read in the car on long trips because I get headaches from it (minor motion sickness, never enough to puke, but enough to get headaches and be basically unhappy)...so we shall see..

Take care all!!

Okay! Commissions are now OPEN for business! Here is a link on all the styles, examples, and prices I am offering:

Commission Info: [link]

So, if you are interested in a commission, check out the info, then send me a Note and we'll go from there!

So it's November and NaNoWriMo has officially started! I did it for the first time last year and goign to do it again this year~ Two shorter stories this year intead of the big novel I was working on last year. One will be a children's story (tentaively called Mozart Finds a Friend and inspired by my cockatiel, Mozart) and the other a slice of life story that I want to turn into a strip webcomic someday...maybe sometime in 2010 but not sure... tentatively calling that story Another Day in Paradise. Anyone else going to go NaNo and what are you guys going to write about?

Clubs I'm a part of:

What a month~ beginning of it I had a weekend at the RenFest, then last weekend was Motaku (Kansas City's 2nd anime convention to pop up), then I also got sick last week with a head cold~ put me out of commission for awhile. ::falls over:: I've recovered from the cold and playing catch up with a lot of stuff(OMIGOD, who KNOW emails and everything would back up so quickly when one get sick!!).

So, yeah~ firstly, I got my batch of calendars. So, if any of you would like to purchase one directly from mwah (I shall sign the copy), you can send me a note. Calendars cost $20 plus $2 for shipping in the United States. If you live outside of the United States, tell me where you are, and I will figure out how much shipping will cost. If you want to see what the calendar looks like go here: [link]

Secondly~ my webcomic started! ::throws confetti:: The story is called Ylseria, and it's one that has been perculating in my head since sophomore year of highschool. I wrote a good chunk of it during NaNoWriMo last year, finished up in the beginning of 09, revised it in the Spring, and have been working on pages (err...sometimes ATTEMPTED to work on...) for it's debut today. So go check it out here: [link] It will be updated every Wednesday, and hopefully in the spring of 2010 we'll have another story or two starting on the website.

Hope all is going well! I am going to start taking commissions next month, so all those watching and waiting for the info, just a little bit longer!! It probably won't happen until after I get back from Lousiana though~ three generations of woman (me, my mom, and my grandma) are traveling down there to visit my great grandma, because she's not doing so well...so we're trying to get that last visit in...since we don't know if there will be any visits after that). So that puts commission taking at mid-November. /nod
