So! This year I am sending out Christmas Cards, like usual.
I love the holiday season, so it means a lot to me to give and receive cards in the mail. There's nothing like the surprise
of getting something to open in the post, and I like my friends to know that I'm thinking about them during the holidays.
But, this year I'm making all my cards from scratch, right down to the hand cut snowflakes and doodles. Obviously, they're
fun to make, but they're a bit time consuming. Still, I think they'll mean a little bit more to the people who receive them.
So, I have enough to make four extra cards, and I thought maybe some of my great watchers would like the opportunity
to get a Christmas Card from me this year! I'll mail the card free of charge to just about anywhere, as long as you have a
valid address to which I can send it.
But, as per the usual, there's always a catch with me. If you want a card, you'll have to work for it. And, by work for it, I
mean comment for it.
So, if you'd like a card this year, just leave a nice, uplifting comment below about someone on deviantART (try to use the
notification system with the @ , too, so they can see the comment)! It can be difficult this time of year for people who are
lonesome or feel left out, so if you know someone who needs a pick-me-up or who has been especially kind to you, comment
describing what they did for you or what they mean to you. Sometimes we think people know how we feel about them, but
they don't really know unless we say so! It's very important to remember to cherish people who make time for us!
This is just my way of trying to spread the love, because there should definitely be more of it.
When you comment, you'll be entered in a draw (you can enter as many times as you want, but each time commenting on
a different person) to get a hand made Christmas card from me to you and I'll send another to the person who you
dedicated your comment to!
I'll close up this journal in a few days before I set out to mail the cards! So, please be around to disclose your address
should you get a card! If you don't respond in a reasonable amount of time, I'll pick someone else to send a card to!
Take care, and have a wonderful holiday!

Recovery?
Life is really all about '?' these days. I'm not sure if I'll be up or down or just exist. But, I think that it's an improvement from just living in absolute terror about who else is going to get sick or die or both. Bailey is back with me, it helps keep me focused on life. She gives me purpose, she's safe and happy, which is good enough for right now. I just wanted to thank you all again for being patient and hearing me out. I'm lucky to have such an understanding community at my fingertips and I honestly don't know where I'd be without that kind of privilege. You've all shown me kindness I'm not sure I deserve, but that I definitely need. I've worked hard on taking care of myself and my family the last few months, weeks, days, hours. I got help for the anxiety and depression that rose up, and thanks to my support system I've adjusted to some new medication that helps me relax and focus. It's still not the perfect situation or solution, but I am breathing better this week. I'm
Life
I hesitated for a long time to even update anyone on what's happening. I feel like it's so much that people couldn't even believe this all happened to one family. Unfortunately, another tragedy has struck my family. In the last five months two people have died, one has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and just days ago another attempted suicide and is battling a critical brain injury from which they may not recover. As a suicide survivor I'm just overwhelmed with anxiety. I'm so dysfunctional right now I've had Bailey go stay with relatives for a week where she doesn't have to see me like this. Please understand that at this time I am not prepared to answer messages in a timely manner. I am not ignoring you, I am simply very overwhelmed and busy with urgent family needs. I am begging for your understanding and compassion at this time. I am having a very difficult time coping, I'm having severe anxiety attacks over what will happen next and I haven't been sleeping. It's taking everything I've got to maintain the basics. Please, universe, I need a break. Thank you so much for all of your support and understanding.
Three Years
Until you sit back and reflect, you don't realise how much can change in three years. So much has happened, things I never would've dreamed of. My mind has been opened to possibilities I never thought possible. But, I still keep thinking in the back of my mind, that Mandy is just on vacation. That she's coming back, she'll be back soon. I cannot accept, or maybe I'm just not prepared, that someone so incredible could be taken just like that - when she had so much more left to do.
I will never accept the possibility that I will not see her again. It doesn't feel like something I should accept because I feel her all around. Every time mom make
Goodbyes
My family said a difficult but loving goodbye to my Uncle Sam yesterday morning. He bravely chose to die with dignity after fighting cancer for several months and passed away peacefully without pain.
Although I knew him as a man of few words, his life spoke volumes to the people who love him. To know him was to feel safe, secure, and protected. Right now the world feels uncertain and unsteady, a little smaller. Although I was so lucky to know him for twenty nine years, I can't help the selfish desire to have him return. No amount of time with him would've been enough for me or my family.
But, I know innately that this isn't the end. How c

My comment is definitely going to TheLittleEmperor, also knows as, my long lost twin.
Ever since I found her Twitter and looked through her gallery of art, it kind of filled me up with jealousy from how great she was. And it instantly made me want to take art more serious and start drawing more to improve my skills.
We started talking and I told her how much I "hated" her art, even though I loved it of course. We joked a lot and we instantly became friends.
I started to draw more and often sent my drawings to her to see what her opinion was. She told me what I should have changed and what I could have done better as well as what was great about the drawings.
I also gave her critic from time to time when ever she would upload drawings.
We met on Twitter a year a go and we're friends to this day. Except we keep more in touch through Skype and dA. She's from Portugal and I'm from Sweden, but it feels as if we're closer than that.
We still joke around a lot and we've both improven by the support we have given each other.
I hope that we will stay friends for many more years and maybe even meet at some point. That'd be awesome.~
If you see this Baka-Twin, I'm hoping that you're having a great day and that you're well. And have a happy holidays!
