Yeah it's my Birthday... Happy Birthday to meee I'm now twenty threeeeee!

anywoot besides that I'm just super super super super busy I have sewing commissions from my store I'm working on that I'm getting done.. I've got Prizes for my contest I'm working on as well... I also have some Gaia Commissions I'm doing...

Then I had some "family" things happen that weren't so great that kept me from all of that stuff I have to do... >__< but things are looking better now.

Also I have realized that I've let sewing consume my life and even though I do like it...And when I'm finshed with all these sewing commissons from my store... I've decided to work on some of the other things I do or used to do before I started taking on lots of sewing commissions... drawing, violin, piano, painting, makeup artistry, photography, dancing, .... I mean there is more to me than needle and thread... and most of it I've just thrown to the waste side... So you will be seeing other things from me in the time to come. And of course more sewing projects as well I'm just looking for my balance ^__~

Thank you all for watching me and giving me support, encouragement, comments, faves, and all that.

After reading through them thoroughly these are the ones we all agreed on! So as promised here our winners and their resolutions!!

1st prize winner (choice of Hat or Shirt):

Nominus Expers – Resolution:

This year, I resolve to open up shop: To finally do with my life what I've always wanted to do, making unique things from people's imaginations come to life with the skills I've spent my life learning, and also to hone those skills razor sharp, making dynamic, beautiful pieces both wonderful and practical. I'll do this because it's what I've always wanted to do and because it's the only way I'm going to be able to finally be with my lover.

good luck to you and your goals and may they bring you closer to your love ^_~

2nd prize winner (a Custom Drawing sent through the mail): We could not choose between these two:

Luna-Starbright - Resolution:

I guess I would have to say...that my new years resolution...would be to try and obtain self healing...

I am a victim of a serious skin disease/disorder called psoriasis...(If I had a camera I would show you how bad it really is all over my body)

It is in my scalp, on my hands (so bad that I can't put my hands in my pockets with out crying...I can't even open a water bottle), soles of my feet, arms, elbows, knees...you name an area on my body and it is most likely there...

I live a fairly active lifestyle (even though it's hard to do when it hurts to walk and you can barely lift things), I have a good diet, and I don't smoke or drink...all of these effect me.

I know that I don't have it the worst compared to most victims of this disorder...and I only pray that sense there is not a cure, that the doctors can give me some treatments that helps to my aid.

My New Years Resolution : Help myself grow stronger and be my normal self, like I used to be...two years ago...

I will grow stronger...

We know it must be hard with what your going through we hope you get all the relief possible. <3

Da Hatter- Resolution:

Well, really, for me, when the New Year comes around, I want to start out new.
All this year, and actually this last semester of College, a lot of things happened - a lot of stressful and not so happy things. It was a hard semester to get through, though I have no power over a couple things that did happen, I know some of the stresses are the cause of me being disorganized.
So part of my New Years Resolution I want to organize myself, so when the college starts up again, I won't be backed up into a corner.
I also - the big one for me actually, is to spend more time with my family. I get to caught up in other things I noticed, and I need to and want to be with them more. Especially after this year, something happened within the family and we lost one family member. Even though it is sad, we're happy they're in a better place, and with their death we were able to get in touch with other family members we haven't see in years.
I want to make it a point to keep in touch with them and my other family and be with them more.
Because....I don't want death to be the only reason why we all come together.

We feel for your loss and hope you achieve all you set out too <3

3rd prize winner (a head shot drawing of your avi):

Chicky-chans Ghost – Resolution:

New Years resolutions are what I'm all about. Every New Years I make resolutions, and for the most part, I usually keep them. So here's a list of ALL my New Years resolutions for 2009!!
New Years Resolutions for 2009


- Have at least a 3.0 GPA by the end of the school year in college
(i've been focusing too much on partying and not enough on studying, and my gpa reflects that rofl but i'm going to change that! straight a's next semester!!)

- Drink 8 cups of water per day/Take vitamins/Eat healthier
(i hate water... i'm a huge juice drinker. but i've been noticing i'm kind of dehydrated lately, so i'm gonna force myself to drink a lot of water next year. also i want to start taking my vitamins and just eat healthier in general rofl )

+ Start learning Japanese
(my brother and i want to go to japan the summer after he graduates (which is not this summer, but next summer). he's been studying japanese in school and is pretty fluent, so i want to study japanese too so i can kinda navigate around by myself)

+ Learn web design/Improve my graphic design and colouring skillz
(i love to colour, and graphic design is kind of my passion. i've been dieing to learn how to create websites, but i just never got around to learning... so i want to start learning and create my own website)
