Hi My Dears! *hugs*
First of all, I want to remind you all to please pray for Meagan and her Grandma. Ask other people to pray too! Your family, friends, anyone you can find, please!

Okay, umm, I guess I'll continue with the post now...

I'm sort of unsure of what to say... I'm so touched by how many people commented on my last post; you nearly had me in tears *hugs tightly* Thank you all for your kindness. *hugs Kelsey, Noirassasin, Kachikamac, Niko Chan, LystikinenaXP, Angel Miyuuki, and Anna-Chan!* (Oh, and none of you were the reason I was going to quit making cards, so don't worry about that!) Umm, I didn't expect so many of you to comment *^^* (it made me feel special, thank you so much)

I want to reply to each of you, but I don't know how much time I have to be online (things have still been crazy busy here) So, I'll try to respond in general-

You've all made me decide that I will keep making cards. I was just feeling really insecure -.-; But, I really do love making them (when I have time) so, since you still seem to like them, I'll try to ignore that critical voice in my head

Oh, and Kelsey? Are you psychic? o.o (Yes, I admit that it was that contest I saw that really made me feel like stopping with the cards... I didn't really want to name names, though...) And, I think I do want to learn about textures and stuff, so, do you think that when I have more time to learn, you'd still be willing to teach me? ^_^ At least then I can try to make a few cards look better (And I'll definitely try that website for fonts!!)

Okay, I know there are a million more things that I'd love to respond to, but I'm hoping to make this a short little post~

Just an update- My sister, the soon to be bride, is back at home making everything more busy than ever ^^;; I love her to death, but all of this prep for weddings seems so much (LOL! My adopted twin was visiting yesterday to help sis with her wedding invites and after about an hour of work, she turned to me and said that if she got married, she was just going to elope XDD)

So, yeah, if I miss commenting, it's because of wedding prep, cleaning, running errands, working out (I need to get into shape DX) and trying to find time to practice my poor new trumpet (plus my sad guitar) I hope that all of you at least get a chance to play an instrument, I know some of you already do, but it's such a great stress reliever. ^__^

Well, that's about all I can think of right now o.o I'm still trying to come on to comment; that's really my favorite thing to do right now ^__^ But I will make an effort to start slowly submitting things again (maybe working on creating a world)

Oh, and I WILL make sure to keep updating here on MyO. So, hopefully, at least once a week I'll try to do that. ^___^

I hope all of you are well and enjoying your summer vacations!! Take care and take breaks for breathing ~.^

Have a great day!

   Sorry, there's a sort of rant
Hi my dears!

*many hugs* Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my picture and card <33 It really made me smile to read them (gosh, you're all so sweet! ^__^) And thank you for the comments on my last post! o.o Wow, I really wasn't expecting so many! Thank you very much to Kelsey, Meagan, Noirassasin, and Anna-chan! *hugs my angels*

I would respond to each of your comments, but I'm sort of tired and I don't know how long I'll be on. ^^;;;

My internet is working and has stayed working for almost a week now (thank goodness) So, I've been trying to comment more. It's a lot of fun, and a nice break from being busy XD I guess I've still been pretty busy, but it still isn't too bad. Really, the main reason I haven't posted for so many days is that I've been a bit depressed and didn't want to spread it around to any of you... maybe it was the weather... idk

But, I'm feeling a bit more cheerful today! ^__^ OH! And I have some exciting news~! On our way up to visit my sister, we stopped at a music store. I had enough money, and I've been wanting to do this for a while, so I bought a used trumpet! ^__^ I'm so excited about it! Even though I love my guitar (and it will always be my first choice as an instrument) I fell in love with the sound trumpets made and wanted to play one as a hobby.

It is a lot harder than it looks! I can make noises on it, but I won't call it music... ^^;; I'm still happy I did it, though. It's nice, because now I have an excuse to sit down and relax by practicing the trumpet ^__^ Although, I'm trying to keep it a secret from most people... they just wouldn't understand and they'd think I was trying to disregard the years I've spent with my guitar XPPP So, only a few people in my family (and now you ^^) know about it! ^___^ Lol, I guess it probably sounds silly, I don't know. ^^;

~~~ Sorry, this next part is something that's been bothering me. You don't have to read it if you don't want to.

Anyway, on a sort of more serious note, I've been giving a lot of thought to e-cards lately. More specifically, I'm trying to figure out if I really want to make them anymore...

I mean, I enjoyed making them and all of you have always been so supportive... But lately, when I have spare time to look around TheO (you know, things that people have created who I don't know yet) I've been noticing a lot of people have been upset and complaining about e-cards. o.o I was surprised how many people are upset that the e-cards are apparently not as good as they were in the "glory days" of TheO...

... I don't think I was on the site during that time period, so I'm not completely sure what it means. But I know that I'm not an artist. I made my cards using Microsoft Paint. I don't know how to make textures (or even if it's possible with my programs).

But what I do know is that I don't want to make people upset. And there seem to be some people who are really upset with people who make plain cards like I did. So, that's why I feel I'm faced with this decision.

If I stop making cards, I'll still comment on people's work (o.o I wouldn't want to leave TheO!) I guess I just really don't know what to think right now -.-; Like I said before, I've been feeling ... strange, so that's probably a lot of what the problem is...

I'm sorry for dumping this on you! T.T *hugs tightly* I just feel like I'll burst if I don't say what's on my mind sometimes. And, truthfully, I don't want to make a decision like that right now. If even one person wants me to make cards again, I'll make them for that one person. I just don't want to add to the level of upset people here ^^;;

Okay, I'm going to change the subject now. I don't want to end the post like this.

I've been thinking about creating a World on TheO. Sort of something for the people who don't belong to MyO (it's a strange thought to me; when I signed up to TheO, MyO was part of the package... I guess it's different now?) But, there are also things that I want to do with that World that I don't think I could figure out here. ^__^

Oh, and on a completely random note- My oldest sister got her hair cut! It used to be almost all the way down to her waist and now it's even shorter than mine o.O She's really happy, though! And it looks fantastic on her (she only grew it out that long for Locks of Love) I even managed to convince her to let me put makeup on her! lol, yeah, she really hates the stuff, but I think a little bit of makeup can look nice! And she did look incredible ^__^ I was so proud of how professional she looked! Gosh, but my Mom cut her hair too, so my other sister is the only girl in the family with long hair right now... *random*

^__^ Well, thank you for reading this far (and sorry again for the rant -.-) I hope that all of you are feeling well and enjoying summer to it's fullest! *hugs tightly*

Have a great day!

   Internet, picture and laundry? (why must there be titles? ^^;;)
Hi my dears! *hugs tightly*

I lost my internet (umm, maybe yesterday or the day before) I don't know how long it's back on, so if I disappear, that's probably why. It sort of comes and goes. But I wanted to update you on a few things I'm excited about!!! ^__^

First- thank you so much for commenting. I'd like to explain about the laundry (lol, I'm still pretty bad at posting if I keep giving the wrong impression, huh? ^^;;;) I do all the laundry for everyone here because we divide chores like that. I do the laundry, but someone else washes dishes and someone else does this or that. But, lately, we haven't had a lot of people home, so everything's been a bit different. I fell SUPER behind on the laundry, so that's why I had so many loads to do. (Mom's a sweetheart, she didn't really expect me to do it all in one day... but I guess I'm really bad at pacing myself -.-;)

Anyway, thank you again, Meagan and Kelsey. Your comments always make me so happy!! *hugs* (And, oh, gosh, I can't tell you how often I found myself day dreaming about pancakes of doom! XD)

OK! Here's what I really wanted to tell you~ I finished my picture that I had been working on the last time I posted. ^__^ I had a couple of days where I didn't have a lot to do, so I crammed in finishing it.

It's sort of strange though... I'm a little scared of sumbitting it *embarrassed* It's been so long... But I really want to share it with you. It was sort of emotional for me to draw. But I wanted to pour my heart into it. So, umm, I'll probably be submitting it when I build up the nerve. I'm planning on doing it right after I finish this post... So, if you want to look at it, go ahead ^^

I'm hoping that after that I'll start submitting more again. I get sort of a nervous/excited feeling when I think about it (is that crazy?!) I even opened my folder full of ecards to look at them again (in fact, I made a new one for the first time in five months!! It's a big secret, though, so you'll have to wait to see it :P)

Anyway, I'm starting to get busy all over again, but I think I'm handling it better! I'm working hard not to let things stress me out (such as this weekend when I will be on a too long car trip to visit my sister... I love her, but I don't travel well... oh well)

Bah, but I do feel a little guilty, I completely deserve the pancakes of doom to knock my door down from what I did this afternoon. XP Our grass has been getting really tall (my brother is away for the month and my sisters... @.@) Anyway, I told Mom I'd mow, she said no, I said I could handle it, she said I shouldn't, I said I thought I could... Yeah, well, I won the debate, but she was right. I pushed myself too hard and had to lay down in the kitchen by the vent when I was done. But, I'm still glad I did it! Because now at least our front and side yards are better and I really only feel tired ^___^

*glances up* That was rambly... Thanks for reading this post if you've gotten this far *hugs*

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Meagan, just in case I don't have internet on your actual birthday (but, one way or another you will be getting a birthday gift! ~.^)

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but I guess this post is probably long enough! *hugs tightly* I love you all bunches! Take care!

Have a great day!
