Updates and Stuffs

Life Updates

First off, Happy Valentine's Day to you all Hope you guys get lots of chocolates And thank you to all those who have sent me dA valentines so far ;w; You guys are so sweet! I have sent out quite a few already. It was such a cute & fun idea for dA to do that. I hope to send out more over the next few days. You can continue to send them till the 19th, so send them all to your friends & dA sweethearts

Anway, I've been so busy here at the house, helping to get it prepared for the big move. So much cleaning Mom has already purchased our plane tickets. I'm so psyched! I cannot wait to move to Arizona. I'm just so tired of being here, and moving across the country will be such a big change and so much fun. Sometimes it really hits me...we're moving and never coming back here. In ways it sounds like we're going on vacation I'm even going to be able to see a dA friend of mine once I move there, so that'll be even more fun! But until then....MOAR CLEANING!

dA Updates

I'm really happy that I've become more active in my emote making I was a little nervous about taking on the 53 week challenge, but now I'm glad that I did. It's given me a chance to practice my emotes more and become more involved with the emote community. And I want to make more gifts for my friends

Also, look forward to the next volume of Quolia's Showcase later on today I've often thought of starting a different article series, but I'm not sure what it should be about I just want to be able to do more for the dA community. I really do love being here

AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT MY LITTLE MURO CHALLENGE! THE WINNER SHALL BE ANNOUNCED AT THE END OF TODAY! WINNER SHALL RECEIVE 20 REMEMBER...HAVE FUN!
