Hey guys! This journal is gonna be a bit of a doozy with information, so bear with me!
First starting off I will let you all know that I will soon have a full price chart for commissions! Everything from sketches headshots to full body shaded lineart. Yay! This does mean, though, that my prices will be increasing a bit. I know it sucks but I promise I will be keeping everything affordable so don't fret!
ALSO! As inspired by a good friend of mine, all my lovely repeat customers will get a minimum 10% off their orders, for life! In some cases, discounts may rise up to as much as 20%! :)

Second thing on the docket... *clears throat*
GUYS OMG HOLY SHIT YAAAAY I JUST GOT MY PLANE TICKETS TO SEE MY FAMILY! WAHOOOOOOOOOOO
Had to get that out of my system. Anyway on November 27th I will be leaving Sweden to go visit my family. I have not seen them in over two years and I cannot express how insanely excited I am that its finally a reality! I will be gone over a month, from November 27th, to January 3rd. A nice long trip, I will get to go to my cousins wedding, which is exciting, and it will be my sons first Christmas in the states with family! All so exciting!
That being said......
This means I will have borderline no computer access for over a month. Which sucks, like, really bad. I won't be able to do my art (I have problems with traditional media hurting my hands) and my contact with a lot of people will be cut down immensely. Now, of course I don't want to spend all day every day on a computer in the states, otherwise, why go? But I really want a laptop I can use while I am in the states so I can have something to do in my downtime when we otherwise don't have anything to do.
It will also be great for the 14 hour flights there and home.. which I will be travelling... with my three year old who I am about 85% sure has ADHD. He cant sit still unless something is REALLY capturing his attention. These flights were really hard on him at 7 months when he was just crawling. And now hes a boisterous, energetic three year old who will not want to sit still, period. We do not currently own anything that he could keep himself occupied with in that sense. No tablet, laptop, or even smart phone that might keep him calm and let me tell you this is going to be one hell of a 14 hour flight, I can tell already.
______________________________________________________________
SO! all that jabber aside... MY GOAL!
I want to purchase a laptop before I leave my home. Ideally purchased around November 13th (which is actually my sons birthday!) so it has two weeks to arrive before we leave.
Like i said without this we will be sitting on a pretty much technology free flight between home and the states which will not keep my hyperactive 3 year old entertained in the least. Without it I will also have no computer access for over a month and won't be able to do art or take care of bills and will have to give family access to our money to do it for us.
My goal? $650. Will it buy me the best laptop? Nope! But it will give me something I can use. It will suffice. Of course IF i can obtain more by then, that would be a dream come true, but as it is, getting to $650 in about 46 days is not going to be easy. (Ive got $114 of it currently) I need to make about $12/day to make this happen. Which, it hard for me to scrape by usually. SO I will be doing as much as I can this month and I want to know what YOU want to see guys!!
Palette adopts? (I provide the creature, you give me a palette and I create you an adopt.)
Regular adopts?
Egg adopts? (Buy the mystery egg to see whats inside!)
Auction YCHs (Hand drawn pose done auction style)
Flat Price YCHs (Hand drawn poses that will be flat price with usually one slot, occasionally 2 or 3)
Regular commissions
Etc
What would you be interested in buying!? Let me know guys, I am so determined to do this!
Also on a side note: I have $10 sketch busts (with buy one get one 50% off!!) up while i stream all month!

YCH in general is a solid choice. Just gotta spread the word, and advertise everywhere you can!
