I know I've been gushing about taking commissions in order to get a camera for my birthday, but there's one other thing that I feel I can mention here, since we all love animals :)

My 2 fur-children (ferrets) have had their cage for almost 5 years, and it is literally starting to fall apart because of the poor craftsmanship. It's one of the Superpet cages with plastic clips holding the cage sides and top together, and all but one of the clips has broken, so the cage is now held together with locks and little metal clasps XD Needless to say, they need a new cage lol. I'm looking at a double-layer Ferret Nation cage, which have a lot more space (my carpetsharks would love that!) and is much sturdier than the cage I currently have.

I was thinking of doing a "donate what you'd like and I'll draw you something fun" thing, so that maybe I can get my babies the cage for Christmas. They've been nothing but angels, I'd love for them to live out the rest of their lives with a wonderful enclosure that they can retire to after playing around the house :) Right now I am checking to see if this cage is still available in a listing on Craigslist, in which case it would cost only $125 plus around $25 to drive an hour to the residence and an hour back (cage: http://orlando.craigslist.org/for/2665743601.html ). (It had already been sold). The lowest price I have found online is $179.99 (which changes to $169.99 every few days as they do daily discounts) plus only $6 shipping, which is not bad.

If you're interested in helping, you can donate whatever amount you'd like to my paypal at jh63905@appstate.edu, or just pimp this journal <3 Anyone who donates will get at -least- a sketchy drawing from me, and depending on the amount donated I will upgrade that to a bigger art piece!

Please let me know if you're interested! My babies appreciate any help in the quest for a new cage ^w^ (oh, and here are the babbieeeeees):
