I went to the doctor a few days ago and found out we're having a baby girl. I can't tell you how happy that makes me lol. My son is thrilled at the thought of a little sister. Things will definitely be tighter financially especially with a mortgage but we'll make it one way or another. I had preeclampsia with my son, and I'm praying I don't get it again this time.


I'm still not on DA that much these days. I'm trying to make as many products as possible to save money for baby stuff so I don't have much time for fun. I don't really have a big family, and I don't talk to most of the family that I do have (they're all cuckoo) so I'm not even going to bother with a baby shower. My mom's going to buy a crib and some other things but we'll be responsible for everything else. Fortunately we did move when we did so we at least have an extra room now...and it was already pink when we moved in lol. We have no names picked out yet. We'll argue about it until she's born I'm sure Feel free to leave suggestions if you want

I'm behind as usual of course. Sorry I have to delete my messages again....there's just no way to check them all. I'll be replying to all of my notes over the next few days. Things are just really really hectic right now...and they're going to be getting a lot more hectic in about 6 months. That's right, I'm expecting my second (and last lol) child Things always seem to happen when you least expect it and not at a perfect time. But I'm trying to be as positive as I can. Just a bit paranoid finance wise with the new mortgage and the way the economy is right now. Guess that's it for now. Hope you all are safe and well!

Commissions Status - CLOSED

Will oepn for commissions as soon as the current workload is finished!

You can look through my DA gallery to see what kind of art I do or have a look at my website Faerydae if you'd like to commission me for resources/stock. I don't have any prices/quotes set up at the moment but I'm open to offers! Please note me with details not on my journal, front page, etc.





Put a link to her site in her poll [link] to find your fairy name. Here's my fairy name ....


Your fairy is called Thorn Hailfrost

She is a protector of the lonely.
She lives in brambles and blackberry bushes.
She is only seen during the first snow of winter.
She wears purple and green like berries and leaves. She has cheery turquoise wings like a butterfly.

My apologies for not announcing the winners of the contest yet. I'm still waiting for one of the judges to send me their scores. If I don't get a reply soon I'll ask someone else to step in.


This couldn't have been a better birthday for me! Please see the scrollbox below and have a look at these gorgeous artworks gifted to me!












FAIRY TALES CONTEST



***CONTEST CLOSED!!***

The contest is now officially closed. Do not send anymore entries as they will not be accepted. I will be noting the judges in a few moments, and the results will be announced on Valentine's Day (February 14th). This contest proved to be much more successful than I had ever dreamed. Thank you very much to all the entrants, judges, everyone that donated prizes, and everyone that featured/promoted this contest.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE THAT ENTERED!!!

***Please remember that only 2 entries are allowed per person. If you've already submitted 2 entries and you wish to change one that's fine. Note me with your new entry and either give me a link or tell me the name of the entry you wish to be removed. Once the contest has ended you cannot change your entries.

Also remember that all entries must be submitted in a NOTE . From now on all submissions left on my front page, or anywhere else other than in a note will be ignored and not entered into the contest until I receive them in a note.***



***Entries have now been moved to another journal because I'm already getting confused as to who has already submitted two entries lol.***

I'm finally hosting my own contest and of course it's going to be fairy themed By the theme "Fairy Tales" I mean tales of fairies...not as in fairytale stories. The idea of this contest is very simple. All you have to do is choose one of my fairies from this pack and make an artwork with it. That's it!

***I've had a few people ask me a similar question in the last few days so I just want to clarify something...You do have to use one of the actual fairies in your work.....I don't mind if you paint over them, manipulate them, etc. to make them your own but you must use one of the fairies provided in the contest pack...not fanart. My apologies for not making that clearer earlier.***



DEADLINE: February 11th (My birthday )
Winners will be announced February 14th (Valentine's Day)



** Entries can be found here**
