... THANK YOU.

This is to everyone for all of your love, support and happiness for me when I got my suit. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally have a suit to represent me, and to have so MANY people hug me in it just is awesome.

Thank you to Clockwork Creature for dealing with my crazy self. Seriously awesome studio, awesome people, amazing work. You've really blown me away.

Thank you to everyone in the chat room for cheering along with me as I freaked out because OMG I HAVE AN OWLY FACE! *squeeee*

Thank you to  anyare and  larkstarr for help with character concepts and making Athene come to life on paper.

Thank you to everyone at Anthrocon who complimented me, and hugged me. Made the whole experience worth it.

And of course, thank you to my Dragon. Love of my life, thanks for being my spotter so I didn't run over small children, or run into walls. For taking me to the headless lounge when I needed it, and just for being there for me over the past 10 years while I ranted and raved about how "one day I will have my OWLSUIT!". Well, I finally do. I have my wings, and I'm proud to wrap them around you with squishy hugs.

And that is all. Now I must return to real life.
