My more faithful of followers will have noticed that over the past year my journals have become increasingly infrequent. My year has not been the best, beginning with a number of health issues that took half a year to get under control. This in itself just left me feeling blah. Then in August Kirk's grandmother passed away which further added to the blah. Most recently my grandfather and his wife passed away in a house fire in October. They succumbed to smoke inhalation before the firefighters could reach them.

While each day is better I am still dealing with this one, and while one would think that this turn of events would have just pulled me even further into the quagmire, it has not. I am frankly, tired of the blah. I don't expect to be all giddiness and sunshine anytime soon but I am living, breathing and on occasion smiling and right now that works for me.

I am moving forward and looking to the positive, though right now progress is akin to walking in mud, so bear with me as I move forward toward a new and hopefully better year.





A Sale on greeting cards begins Friday, read about it here [link] !

In light of this fact I have made available as a greeting card. I offer a number of my prints as greeting cards, but if there is one in particular which you would like that I have not offered as a greeting card let me know and I'll fix that.

Also if you are looking for 2010 calendars as gifts, I have three available, all of which have passed quality control.







I just ordered a bunch of goodies and I can't wait until they arrive. I got the e-mail that they were shipped yesterday!

The three calendars above as well as these great prints:


and the most coveted which I ordered in Large with the jet frame.

The ones that are not gifts I'll share pictures of once they are hanging.

There is a nifty little application for journals here at DA called Forums. Perhaps my lack of stimulating conversation in my day to day life has brought me to see the journal forum for the wonderful resource it is. What a great tool to create discussions on things that interest you. I'll admit that I don't often take the time to even see if another deviant is making use of this tool, much less read it's content, but change is good. I'm not asking for much, just tell me Who's Coming to Dinner? and share your favorite film. If you are really industrious, use the link to start your own thread in my journal forums. I promise a response to any thread started in my journal forums, all I ask is that the question posed be one that is open enough that a wide range of responses can be generated. What's on your mind?
