You've probably noticed that this journal isn't as fancy as some of my past ones. That's because I no longer have a subscription. I didn't really find it necessary to renew my subscription, besides the fancy journals there's not much I find necessary to pay for anymore. The newest version of dA is really nice on its own.

I know I haven't been on here much in the past couple months. That's due to a lot of things, but mostly classes have started up again. In addition to classes I've been hanging out with my boyfriend, my sister recently got married, and I have a parttime job. I haven't been doing much with my photography as of late, and most of my artsy/creative side has been going into other projects. Like painting cute little adorable plaster figurines I buy at Michaels I need to start signing up for more catalogs so I can keep making collage bookmarks. Ever since I moved home I haven't been getting many catalogs. Mostly because I don't want to spam my parents snail mail. But, thrift store catalogs and magazine selections around here are pretty lame. I've also been making a lot of cards, just blank ones, but don't have that many uses for them so they've been piling up. Maybe I should sell them? I don't know, but they are fun to make. On a random art note, you should all tell me what kind of awesome art projects there are for used CDs. I've been reorganizing all of my photos into a way where I can actually find what I'm looking for and have a ton of old CD-Rs that I no longer have any use for.

Another reason I haven't been on here much is I haven't been out and about as much as I'd like to be for the summer because I've been pretty sick lately. I was feeling better this weekend but now my fever is back. I have mono at the moment along with an ovarian cyst, I'm finally over a bacterial infection I had a couple weeks ago. And done with the antibiotics taht made me photosensitive. I am going to rest as much as possible this week (except for class) so that I can feel better before my birthday (the 24th) and so I can go to some parks this fall and get some beautiful photos of the fall leaves.

Well, I just wanted to update you on what's been going on with me as related to the dA world, if you have any questions or comments just leave me a comment below I might do a feature journal or another news article soon if I find the time. My current project is to finish sorting through my thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of photos I've taken over the past seven or so years. It's incredibly time consuming. I have also been having to do it on my parents computer since my cd drive is going insane. I think I might also take all the pritns on here down from the store since I've never sold one and consider making an etsy store for photo products, my bookmarks, and the like. That is a project not arriving any time soon though.

On a dA related side note: I do like being given ideas for photography or 'requests' and I do not regularly check my stock account so if you have any random ideas for me or would like stock images of something leave me a note or comment on here
