Hello!  I see that it has been some time since I have uploaded a journal (April).  I've been putting off writing this one, but since I am no longer as active here as I was in the past, now seems to be the time.  

I won't be uploading any more photographs or fan fictions to this site.  It was fun, but real life has kept me away from the camera, and there is very little time to write fan fictions.  I don't think that anyone read the last several submissions as most of my watchers have left, but they were fun to write--especially the Miseducation of Lavinia Llywnog.  Two years and twenty chapters--it was certainly a project!  Thanks again to JosieCarioca and ameraucanablues for the permission to use their characters.

Thanks to all of my friends here.  Your encouragement was appreciated and your art, photos and fictions inspired me.

I won't be taking a complete leave of this site.  I will continue to visit.  I don't like to say goodbye, so I'll just say:  See you later!

A 7.8 level earthquake has devastated Ecuador, leaving towns in ruins and causing at least 654 deaths and over 16,000 injuries. www.reuters.com/article/us-ecu…  One of our own deviants, and a good friend of mine lives in Ecuador with her family.  Thankfully they are all fine, but many of their friends and neighbors have suffered terrible losses.  You can read about it in her journal here:  <da:thumb id="606009206"/>

If you wish to help, here is the link that she has suggested.  Every little bit helps--even a dollar or a Euro will go a long way in contributing towards fresh water, medicine and temporary shelter!  I know how generous people on this site can be.  Thanks again for your kindness!  www.ammado.com/fundraiser/1753…

Beautiful art and animation, perfectly edited in sync to John Mayer's song. The best animated music video that I have seen so far this year.  Illustrations are by Virginia Mori, animated and directed by Virgilio Villoresi.

Just a little thank you feature to all of my friends here who sent me sweet birthday wishes, points and features on my special day!  Here are just some of the examples of their beautiful work.  I feel so blessed to know so many talented and good people here!
