As per usual, Society 6 is rocking it with sales galore! They have a new one practically every 24 hours PST. There are 2 new pieces of art up for your purchasing and viewing pleasure. The promo codes can be found on top of the Society 6 page. I linked this time to just Art Prints but the new pieces are on a TON of product. Make sure you mosey on over there to check the new pieces out and don't forget your wallet, just in case you find something that tickles your fancy. Wonder where THAT saying came from? I will be looking that up after the update. It's what I do. Support an artist that you love, tolerate...are mildly amused by. It would mean the world to me. Also, if you want a piece, but don't want to get it through Society 6, remember I will sell digital files, with some restrictions, basically no making money off of my art. The files will be professional quality. The same that are offered on Society 6. Plus, I can resize for you to display on the plethora of social media sites, and sign them! More options!! Everyone loves options...at least I do. You can contact me here, on the homepage or on the tons of buttons to your right...minus Tumblr and Instagram...I really need to shut my Tumblr down and figure out where my link thingy went on my phone for Instagram. Twitter and FB direct messaging would be the best, or this site itself.
Okay, shameless plugs out of the way. I'm still working on the current mandala...have been getting a bit stuck on it. It's really turning out good. I'm on the homestretch of sorts...and I do have ideas to hopefully finish it off. I want to offer another 2 pieces next Monday, as after that I'll be on vacation. I'll still be arting, but I really need to recharge my batteries...To start the new year bright eyed and bushy tailed. Arting for me is a major release for the stress of everyday life and the not so everyday stuff that drops by for a visit. I smell a segue card!!
Saturday was not a good day for me. Nothing happened...but I still was having a bad mental health day. It was crazy that it just came out of nowhere and was sticking to me like glue. It was the first really off day I've had since I've been trying to change the way I think and be more mindful and aware. It came with no provocation and man did it hit below the belt. The hubby was so kind, patient and wise. We talked a lot of it out and by Sunday I was owning my day...I rocked yesterday on so many levels. I know bad mental health days will happen...it's part of the human experience...and I am so grateful that it was only one day. I know I will go through several days at some point. Despite the bad day, I still was productive. Just not AS productive as I normally am. The hubby and I both figured out that it was more than one factor that bit me on my ass. Talking it out and working through it helped. A lot. I plan on using my vacation to reflect on my thoughts...and the feels. I guess why I'm sharing this, because normally I don't get that personal, is just never give up. Don't give yourself that option to give up. No one ever said life was fair...and it sucks sometimes. It's all about the awareness and perception and the non-reaction to the feels. We all have the feels...it's acknowledging but not acting on them...I think yesterday I may have leveled up as a human. I will always strive to be a better human. It's one of my new goals.
Okay let's lighten things up a bit. This week is a Day of Dad! I think we both need a Daddy/Daughter day. Yeah, we may bicker but in the end, we have each other's backs'. 100 million percent. I'm excited as always. Not sure what we have planned, but I know either way, it'll be fun.
In game session news...we are not having another December game session. Relieved and bummed at the same time. I will plan, soon, to remember. But we'll be going back to 2 sessions a month come January. I have a lot of ideas on the game front....in other gaming news...aka Don't Starve...OMFG the Aporkalypse is just insane with a side of insane and some more insane for dessert. Whoa...I did manage to unlock all the Hamlet characters and now I'm back to the OG game to unlock the three characters I have not unlocked. Going to take forever. I play maybe an hour a day...and that's not even accurate. Maybe every few days. I get very torn between arting and the game. Maybe there will be more Don't Starve on my vacation. If you do play games...you should really check the series out. It's just too much fun and the art is fantastic in it's campy kitschy way. I have way too much fun playing. I will unlock those last three characters! Dammit!
On that fun note, I shall leave you will minor eye strain and hopefully still some coffee...mine is still being assimilated into my blood stream. Here comes one last shameless plug...remember to check out Society 6 and the amazing sales or contact me for digital files! Or even a commission...don't be shy I don't bite. Until next week, the last update for 2018...I bid you an adieu and an amazing week!
