A new banner! :D

Why yes, I did use GIMP. It's nice to have something that doesn't run incredibly slow for me.

I was just playing around with it today.

New giveaway!

First of all, I have had an awesome and busy day today. Second of all, here's a giveaway for all who love things cute and lolita:

Pixel Paw-Oodles of cute pixel goodness

Okay, how about a little spotlight? I just found this wonderful site though my usual link hopping, and I'm really amazed at just how much this person made! How tiny! I love it. :D
Well, I'm talking too much, visit this site now!

Hello, it's been a while!

I'm sorry for the serious delay! I've been very busy with the Portfolio class, and I must say, I'm a different person after that week, in a good way.

This weekend, I saw the movie Inception. The whole thing was so good that I want to see it again, this time I'd watch it a little closer, because this movie has great depth to it. I'm really surprised!

The next day, Joey and I went to the Plaza, our city's go-to spot that I rarely go to, sadly. And if it weren't for the awful heat, I'd say the day was perfect. I was afraid we'd be stuck spending loads of cash at somewhere ritzy for our meals, but both of them were taken care of cheaply, and honestly, you just can't beat Chipotle or Panera, in my eyes.

Just as a heads up, I've got a couple things I've been thinking of making a blog post about. I've just got to get it together, really.

So, the end of summer is getting closer. I'm not excited for that. AT ALL. D:

I mean, I'm really enjoying the summer I'm having! A summer of pen pals, art, being with Joey, more art, personal and fun art projects, this blog and it's amazing readers, and just so much...woah. I love it. I want things to be like this forever. Sadly, that isn't true.

Anyway, enough with this melancholia, see ya! :D

I'm sorry about this being brief and all, but when I get the time I'd like to do a post about writing letters. If you have anything you want to contribute, then please comment here. Also, if you're interested in becoming a pen pal of mine, please, just email me and ask!

I'll be busy! Anyone been to one of these, maybe have some advice?

I'll also be making my lunch that week, which means probably some yummy bento to post on here.

Just a heads up for those wondering where I might be next week, if I'm not posting much!

Hey everyone! I know I've been a bit slow about blogging and all, but it's because of how busy I've been! Luckily, it's the good kind of busy. I've been trying to get into penpaling, mostly because if I don't, all my stationary that I have will just sit there! And hey, don't you think it's a fulfilling way to interact? I mean, one can write and receive emails, but holding a letter in your hand is so much more, and has so many fun creative opportunities!

Also, there's something else I'd like to share:

Yep, a new giveaway I'm entering!

I must say, this one is different from the standard fare, as she requests some feedback about her site, as well. Personally, I think that's a great idea. I mean, it's such a good incentive to get some response!

What's crackin'?

The reason I'm posting this is to show how awesome the new Windows Paint is. The rest is artwork I've done lately.
