Hey all!
The new year is coming and I'm excited for it! I have so many plans and wonderful things that I'm going to do it doesn't make sense. This morning I even listed about 40-50 new blog topics (for the candy sanctuary blog) and I see so many opportunities for myself. I have been working on the candy sanctuary seriously lately and things have been coming together. The blog I have now will have a new design soon and I see a new great path to take with it.
Since I gotten my new computer things have become easier to do and really gave me that confidence boost. I'm keeping up with so many things and able to get so much done I know that this coming year will be the best yet. I'm currently teaching myself html and learning how to make web sites. Eventfully I want to make my own web shop for the candy sanctuary, but for now the blog will be its main home.
This year have been great overall and I learned so much. Its one of the reasons why 2011 will be such a fruitful year for me and my family. So many life changing things that I will never take back. The most beneficial ones was changing my attitude about my art, quitting my job, as well as being more honest with myself and you all. It really made a life time's worth of difference and I think all of you for that. Not to mention the lovely support I get for everything I do, nothing can ever replace that ever, so thanks for that too!
Lastly got a live stream account! I got it a few days ago since I'm able to so them on my new computer. I tested and even let my friend Brandon watch me as I drew so I know it works. You can even hear my voice! Here's the first ever tester, its super funny and you will get a good laugh.
Thanks for viewing and I will see all of you in the new year!
