FEATURES AND UPDATES

Journal Entry: Sun Mar 15, 2009, 6:14 AM



:sun: :phew: :sun:

I thought I would just let those of you who are interested know what's going on at the moment.

My time on DA is so limited because I am trying to make ends meet wherever I can. My fantasy art gets squeezed in between:
(1) doing illustrations of historical homes
(2) restoring old photos
(3) making crystal jewelery
(4) designing labels and business cards
(5) helping hubby in the vegetable gardens
(6) making a range of preserves and pickles, organic tofu, snack bars and roasted seeds (which I sell at the local farmers market, along with my art and jewelry)
(7) then there still has to be time for cleaning house, making lunch and supper and taking on the odd catering job.
(8) and orders are slowly starting to trickle in from the city, so it's printing, packing and posting art prints and cards.
(9) .....and I almost forgot, packaging and delivering organic vegetables to the local supermarket and restaurants.

...So I think I have a good enough excuse to be behind on DA.

But none of the faves and comments go unnoticed - MANY THANKS!

And for those of you who have shown an interest in our organic vegetable garden - this is it (well, part of it)



:sun: :phew: :sun:

Ok I know your time is also precious so I will stop chatting now.

...But please do look at the new features and don't forget the contests.

Angel Without Wings ~ AWW Awards IX 2009

1. :iconstamatisgr: suggested by :iconfiorello: & =Nameda
Stamatis is always extremely supportive for his fellow deviants by always commenting and giving uplifting comments. He supports in his journal, almost on a daily basis, artists with low pageviews and that deserve more publicity, projects/contests that are up and running, and notices us about deviants that are in need of help. He spends a lot of his time and effort on dA wholeheartedly. When you read the description of the Angel Without Wings Award you'll understand why he deserves it. And since last week he is also a gangster of Love.





2. :iconterrorcookie: suggested by :iconendlessvox:
She reguarly features people in her journals and she's very helpful in helping people figure out how to do things here on DA. Also with other things like language and spelling errors on deviations/journals. She's also very active in the message boards. I believe that she deserves the AWW Award beacause she makes the DA community a better place by being an open, honest, and postive person.





3. :iconwaitingfortheworms: suggested by =Wimley & :iconhellfirediva:
"Wormsy" is one of those persons here that make it a warm good place to be. She's part of "The Best Kept Secret" project, where together with some others they feature deviants with less than 5.000 pageviews, but really deserve more attention. Her journals and comments are always with a giggle and some humour, not just dry stuff, and full of hints and tips to improve the whole community. And improve yourself as an artist, and even better person by bringing under attention many charity projects. And not to forget... a fantastic photographer that can teach us a lot!!





congrats to you all :hug: :clap: :party: :iconcaekplz: :iconspinplz: :iconsqueeeplz:

DA Clubs & Good Causes

GREAT CLUBS on DA I belong to

:icondesigningdivas: :iconenchantedforest: :iconunframed-nature:





My fairy name is Hex Iceshimmer
I am a bone chilling bringer of justice for the vulnerable.
I live in places hexed and tainted by black magic.
I am only seen when the first flowers begin to blossom.
I wear black feathers and rose petals and have icy blue butterfly wings.
