Do you have a website (not attached to DA)? I'd love to see it!

Well, I've been pretty absent on DA for a while now, just to due to life and everything.  I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things but there was no way I could possibly go through all the thousands of messages accumulated while I was gone.  It was even sort of overwhelming me enough to make me avoid DA all together.

So I just deleted them all.  

However, feel free to reply here and demand comment/critique from me. Point out some cool new artist that you've found while I was gone, interesting journals, contests, whatever.  I'm so out of the loop!  Fill me in on what I've missed!

Hugs for all!

i hope you all had a wonderful holiday.  i myself had a great time out east with john's family. i posted a few photos on my flickr account so you can look at them by clicking here.  on friday we went and saw night at the museum and had a great dinner.  saturday was the christmas party at his mom's house.  we put up and decorated the christmas tree and ate some delicious dinner.  i met his mom's side of the family and they were all very nice.  we opened the stockings and then everyone decided it was time to leave.  i was amused.  on sunday john and i drove up to new york city for a nice day trip.  the weather was awesome and it was a great yet long day.  i couldn't believe how crowded it was down there on christmas eve.

on sunday john and i flew home to so that we could be with my family for christmas as well. yay more good food and family.  i'm really glad i was able to be home on christmas.  it was weird missing out on preparing christmas dinner and everything since i was out of town.  i'm glad we were able to be with both our families during the holidays. and i'm really happy john is living here now. couldn't ask for a better christmas gift.


in other news, i'm extremely behind on deviantART messages and i don't know when that will change.  i hope you are all doing well and thanks for all the favs and watches.

So, it's been a really long time since I've updated and quite a bit has happened.  Working at Threadless was pretty sweet.  It'd be nice to help them out again in a month or two when they're hiring temps again to help with their Christmas sale.  Really though I should find something more perminent before then.  Eww. Real job. Not ready.

On the 7th I left to visit my love, John and his family in Rhode Island.  I had intended on staying just over a week but ended up staying almost 2.5 weeks.  It was so great we all got along great and his family really seems to like me and thats wonderful too.  I was so nervous they wouldn't.  I got to see all the places he hung out at growing up and experience candlepin bowling and go to flea markets and visit Boston.  It was a great time.  Yay, happiness.

So I've really been knitting a lot still....recently made some slippers....well I still need to find buttons and finish making the right slipper but they're very adorable and I like them a lot.  May post photos of them here eventually.

Camera Talk
Ansco Shur Shot -- Picked it up at a flea market on the trip..it's pretty old and it's a 6x9 format, so I'm looking forward to seeing if it works.
Quad Cam -- John bought it for me while I was out there.  It's silly and fun and I have a few ideas for it if it depending on how the test roll turns out.  Link in case you have no idea what I'm talking about.
Agfa Isola -- bought it on eBay -- should be arriving soon and it looks promising.

A big THANK YOU to ssecret for suggesting me for a DD.  I was so surprised go give him some love on his page! Thank you all for the support it really means a lot to me!

Seems my subsciption has expired and thats quite unfortunate as I have so many deviations to catch up on and now I don't have thumbnails in the DeviantWATCH area.  Also seems I don't have my footer with the communitis I'm in...boo that!  I'll have to retype that later.

I hope you're all doing well, and I'm sorry I've been so inactive here lately but that should change as I'm home again.
