I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by my artist alley table this weekend at Anime Central. It was great meeting new people and getting to see those again who have stopped by in previous years. I had planned on having a lot more new product this year, but unfortunately the acrylic charms I had ordered came to me with defects, and I was unable to get a replacement order in before the convention.

I will be opening my online shop by the end of the month (yes the one I had planned on opening like 3 years ago). Unfortunately, life got in the way again last year and I was unable to set up my website as planned. I currently have no excuses, so it will be going up whether I am finished designing it or not. I will most likely be using Storenvy for now since it seems like the best choice from all the options I have researched. I am planning on having my new product available shortly after the shop opens.

I am back from ACen and it was the best year yet! Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table in the Artist Alley and those who bought some of my cute merchandise! I can't wait to hopefully see you all again next year. ^_^

For those of you coming here from the link listed on my business card, I currently have the website redirecting to my DeviantArt page. Now that ACen is over with, I will have time to start working on my website, and hope to have a shop up soon where you'll be able to purchase all my cute goods!

...seriously, it's been exactly a year since I last wrote a journal. Go me! Anyways, it's been a busy past year. Spent the first half of it dealing with wedding stuff and such. Yes, that's right, I got married! I am officially a Mrs. (still feels weird saying that). I ended up doing a lot of DIY projects for the wedding, so I had to put my art on hold for a while. But I've been back to the drawing board since then.

In other news, finding/buying a house is such a pain. We haven't had much luck finding a house that we really love. And whatever houses we have found that were decent, they either had some sort of major problem with it, or we ended up getting outbid. All the good houses end up turning into bidding wars, it's crazy! I am praying we get some better luck within the next few months...

In other, other news, I am almost set for Anime Central next month. Got most of my new products done. Just need to finish assembling my jewelry and accessories, and possibly make some plushies if I have some extra time. Once ACen is over with, I am going to be putting my time into finally working on that website I keep saying that I will make. Yes, it's finally happening, unless some other life changing event tries to stop me! I'll be using Storenvy for my shop, because we all saw where my Zibbet account went.... I seriously wasted money on that one. Oops!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table and those who bought something. It was great meeting new people, and seeing those who had stopped by last year. I am definitely looking forward to doing this again next year! :3

...and of course the new postcards that I ordered didn't come in yet, and ACen starts tomorrow.....ugh. They were supposed to come in today at the latest. I have a really bad feeling they got lost in the mail. I always have the best of luck. Here's hoping they at least show up tomorrow. ;n;
