I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas and a happy holiday season!

I'm having a wonderful time here at my parent`s house We`re having a wonderful traditional Ukrainian Christmas. I look forward to it each year

The only thing that`s missing from my Christmas? My amazing mate,

He's over at his family`s house now celebrating Christmas with them I got to see them yesterday

I really can't wait till we can spend our hoildays together. I miss him with all my heart, even though he's like 5 minutes away. That's the worst. Knowing that he's that close to me, yet I can't be with him 24/7 is just killing me :/

Oh well ok though I guess? Lol <3 I love you with all my heart, sweetheart! <3

happy holidays everyone! <3

P.S. Making progress on everyone`s fursuits! My camera I not working at the moment, so hopefully I'll have pics soon as soon as I can steal my sister`s camera for a couple minutes for progress pics! Sorry its taking a bit for pics!

lol yup! That's right! This mutt is getting ooooolllddddd lol (jk) :-P

so yesterday, December 17th, was my 22nd birthday I had a wonderful day with my family, and mate Dave<3

It`s been a busy last couple of weeks with finals, classes, frightmare (a christmas themed haunted house I was in and helped to make at penn state) and just all around hectic life.

But I'm home now! And ready to get to work on some Kickass fursuits for some real kickass people! Haha! More to come on that later

thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes!

~Kotto

Hey guys! Soooo I've been pretty stressed and busy as of late with finals and final projects and stuff. So I decided to take a break from all of that and make a new dance video instead! Everything's made up on the spot, so sorry it's not exactly amazing :p but idk, it helped me to blow off some steam :p

ENJOY!!

I'm thankful for so many things in my life. Just sitting here thinking about things and thought I would share with yinz

~I'm so sooooo thankful for my wonderful and amazing mate, Dave. He's the love of my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him <3 He's just so perfect <3

~I'm very thankful for my family and friends. Seriously, you all keep me sane and make me so happy! From new friends to old friends, from blue band family, to those that I've had since I joined the fandom all those many years ago, I love you all <3

~I'm thankful for my economic status. Yes, I barely scrape by by the skin of my teeth most days, and things could be better at points. But I'm able to eat each day. Not exactly gourmet meals, but I call it a success.

~ I'm thankful for my small business, Kotto Kreations , its still very small. But I have wonderful clients and keep the commissions coming in. Money is not a big thing with me, I like to keep prices as low as possible. But thanks to you guys, I get to do what I really love to do! Make fursuits!

~I'm thankful for my future. No, I don't know what is in store for me, but I do know that if I'm with my Dave, then my life will be amazing <3 he makes my life perfect!

so yeah, there`s a lot that I'm thankful for that I didn't even list here. But I just wanted to share a little bit with yinz!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'll also be attending Oktoberfest in Reading, PA so that'll be tons of fun getting to dress up in our traditional german dress! I'm sure I'll have pics for you all to see later :)

So all in all I won't be able to answer emails or my FA notes and such till Monday or so! So please be patient!

See you all later! Have a great weekend!

~Kotto

Hey guys! I'll be gone for a few days. I'll be with the Blue Band in Philadelphia and won't be able to answer emails or notes till I get back on Sunday :) Hope everyone has a great weekend! GO STATE! BEAT OWLS!!!!

Hey guys! My classes are sucking up every little bit of cash that I have:/ SO this means good things for you guys! I've decided to open up for a short time for some discounted pieces of art!! YAY!

WHAT I'M OFFERING:
$15 gets you a full color piece of art ($5 for each additional character)

Examples :http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6452205
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6409046

Paypal, check and cash (well concealed) are all acceptable :)

Work on the sketch will be done as soon as it is agreed upon what you want. From there, I will wait for the payment, and then once I get that, I promise that the piece will be done within 1-2 weeks at the very most! I don't like to keep my commissioners waiting!

Tell your friends! I have a very expensive project coming up and I need some help getting the materials! Prices ARE negotiable, so feel free to note me if you'd like to discuss :)

Hey guys! So I'll be moving back up to State College, PA tomorrow for my SENIOR YEAR! Holy crap! WHERE has the time gone?! ACK!

I'm really excited for this year, and to see all my friends again! I miss you all so much! <3 BUT I'm also REALLY nervous about this year... This will be the first year EVER that I will be up there without my mate, :'( I'm just.. ugh, I'm so worried about it. I get so lonely when he's not around, and I just don't want to be that depressed. ya know? I KNOW things will be fine between Dave and I, don't get me wrong. If Anything, this next year will bring us closer together (if that's even possible <3) Because of the precious time that we will get to spend with each other. I'll be coming home to see him, and he'll come up to visit me as well. So I KNOW things will be fine. It's just not gonna be fun a lot of the time... So expect a lot of "whaaaa Kotto misses her bear" emo vent art....

But I'll have my friends up there too, and they make me super happy^^ So who knows, maybe this year will turn out to be a kickass year, ya know? I certainly hope so :) With lots of visits to see my Dave <3

But yeah, I won't be online tonight and tomorrow until I get my computer and interwebs set up, sooooo Jsut a heads up to yinz!

Blue band Camp starts on Monday for me with Leadership training cause I'll be co-captain of the silks line this year! YAY! And then REAL band camp starts on Tuesday and will be full of sweat tears, sunscreen, drills, routines, bad times, and HELLA good times :)

I'll talk to ya soon! Take care!
Kotto

hey guys! Looks like we're getting really lose to the 6000 pageview here, and I wanted to draw some free art for whoever snags a screenshot of the 6000th pageview! I love drawing new characters, so this is just as much a great thing for me as it is for you! YAY FREE ART!

So if/ when you visit the main page here at please send it to my email address- kottokreationsATgmailDOTcom

Whoever sends me the screenshot gets a choice of what they would like! You get a choice of either:

~ 1 full color piece of one character (want more characters? talk to me about it and maybe we can work it out!)
~ 1 couples badge
~ 2 regular badges (either the same character, or do you have different characters and need badges for them? TADA! lol)

If you have anything else in mind or have questions go ahead and ask em! and Good Luck! I can't wait to see who wins! lol

Soooo the Delaware furbowl is this weekend. And it's only like a 40 minute drive for myself to go to it. But I don't think I know of anyone who's going :/ And Idk if I have the money for gas as well cause Penn State and my apartment eat all of my money >.<.

So what do we think? Should I go and scrounge up money somehow even though I don't know anyone? Or just say whateves, and not go?

Who all here IS going? Maybe that'll help my decision? :p lol I'm such an indecisive mutt :p

Wanted to make a quick video to see how the jaw was and how well the eyes worked out :) I'm very pleased with how they're coming out! Take a look :)
