~Step 1~
Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where folks could get in touch with you.

~Step 2~
Surf around other lists to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream for free--do it. You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special!

~Step 3~
The List

Just in time for the holidays, its a YCH (Your Character Here) drawing!

This is great as a gift, whether its for your friend, your cub, your caretaker, or just yourself.

The price is only $25, that is very inexpensive for a color pic with a full background.

It is full flat colored with a fully rendered and colored background, as you see it here. I can make small changes to colors if you like.

I will draw any species, any gender, just please keep it a furry as I am bad at drawing humans.


The best part? THERE ARE UNLIMITED SLOTS!!
I will be drawing them three at a time, then will open the next three slots, and so on.


So get one now! If you buy one, you can get the second for $5 off! What a deal!


I look forward to drawing for YOU!! :)

Okay I am trying to get some Christmas/Holiday cards done today.




All you have to do is send me a PM with your real name and address. No furry names please as I have had cards returned.



Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

Hey all.

Right now I'm pretty damn tight on cash. I have 2 weeks to pay off a trip I am taking in January ($1000), and of course there are my normal bills and Christmas gifts ($500+)

I have enough to pay my bills, and I am using money from my savings to pay for the trip. So I should be fine when it comes to those important things. I wanted to put that here so people don't think that my priorities are not in the best order. I would never ask for money for something if I couldn't pay all my normal expenses first.

But, because of all of these expenses, and additional expenses in the recent past like hosting a friend for a week, Halloween candy, a late anniversary outing, and other small things that added up, I have not been able to buy padding for a few months.

I only have a few left, and I would love to make a little extra money so that I can have a padded Christmas and beyond.



That is why I am doing a PWWY (Pay what you want) commission.


By default, they will be a one character inked and flat colored picture with no background. (On my commission page, this is valued at $8, just so you know its value, that doesn't mean you have to pay that amount. You can pay what you wish.)

If you want something other than what I wrote above, just talk with me and we will work it out. I can do multiple characters, digital badges, ref sheets, backgrounds, and more. Just ask if you have any questions!

I REALLY prefer to do furries only, as I am terrible at drawing humans, robots, cars, buildings, etc.

I will do any species, any gender, cub or grown up. I can do adult "pin up" type art as well though it isn't my strong point.

I would love to do Christmas/holiday themed art for you!

Examples:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14855937/ A recent digital badge
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13911338/ some cubby art
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14161101/ A trade that I did
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14103294/ My gryphon character



If I am lucky enough to make enough money to order padding and still have money left over, then the excess will be used to buy stamps to send cards to my friends and shipping Christmas packages to my friends.



This is a great chance to get some art for a friend, a mate, a parent or a cub, a brother or a sister, or even just a present for yourself!!!!


If you are interested, just post a response here, or send me a DM, and we can discuss what I can draw for you!!



I really look forward to drawing for you!

Just a brief journal to give people an update on my life (if anyone even bothers to read these, I dunno.)

First, the bad. I just had a friend over for a little over a week. It was awesome. He left yesterday and I was really sad all day because I only get to see him once a year or so, and I can only bring out my puppy side when he is here, so it is a rare treat that I cherish, and I miss when he leaves.

Also yesterday, the Mystery Snail named Houdini (because he always was in a different place every times I looked even if it was just for a couple minutes, that thing was way too fast for a snail) seems dead. I isolated him to see if he moves but he doesn't seem to be. I only had him like a month or so. That really sucks. I liked him a lot. :(

The good: After A LOT of fuss, planning, re-planning, stress, phone calls, and losing one trip-goer, the Disney trip is on. Its earlier in the year than usual, and once again its an odd number, which makes things more expensive, but it is a go. I am REALLY REALLY sorry one person had to bow out. I really wanted them to go and they wanted to go very much, but there was an important conflict, and I totally understand backing out.

Nothing exciting is happening at home. I guess that's good but kinda boring.

I will be putting out a journal asking for addresses for Christmas/Holiday cards soon, so be on the lookout.



And don't forget, I am still open for commissions! I'd love to draw a Chrirstmas/Holiday gift for you or someone you care about!!

I love it when people play the fake victim card. Oh pity me, a person is being mean to me, I am going to leave FA forever..

And then they don't.


Just an FYI, I DON'T mean real cases of abuse or bullying or stalking or anything like that. That shit needs to stop.

I am talking about people who don't get their way, or have people who disagree with some of their beliefs, so they want to take their ball and go home- but not before they whine to everyone. And people buy into their pity.


If you are going to leave FA, do it. Don't throw a huge pity party, just tell people you are leaving and where to find you, and go.

Otherwise you are just trying to desperately get attention and it just makes you look like a whiny idiot.




Okay, off my soapbox.

Hey all!!

It's starting to get colder, and I love making things, so I want to open up commissions for blankets.

These aren't little baby blankets, I am talking about hand sewn, two layered super soft fleece blankets that will cover you up and keep you warm in those cold winter months.

What you will get will be a fleece blanket, I will work with you on what design you want for the top, and the bottom will be a solid color fleece of a similar color so it will match.

The size will differ depending on the width of the fabric, but it will be somewhere between 54x54 and 60x60.


The base price is $50 plus shipping. I am more than willing to work with you when it comes to design and size, so if the fabric is expensive, or if the blanket is larger, the price may go up a bit.


2 years ago I made 2 matching blankets for myself and  tigeristiger from a light blue fleece with frogs on it and a light blue fleece for the bottom layer. we both still have them, they have no tears or seam rips and are in perfect condition.


Here is a close up picture of the blanket, showing the underside a bit as well so you can see what I mean by a matching underside. You can see that is still looks great for being 2 years old.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14853693/




Since it is fleece it is totally machine washable as well.



This will make a great gift for a friend or family member, or something for you to keep yourself warm as the temperature starts to drop.




If you are interested, please comment here or leave me a note on FA and we can work out all the details!!

I'd love to get some commissions, to make some money for the holidays and for the trip that is really draining my fundage.



Art makes great holiday gifts for your friends or loved ones, and I want to draw FOR YOU!!


Take a look here for the price sheet on my commissions!

Someone posted an idiotic rant against babyfurs. I make an intelligent response, its hidden. I post again. its hidden. I send a note making my points on why the rant is wrong. They sent me a note back and then block me before I can respond and of course insult again in their comments where there can be no response.


Nice. quite mature, LOL


I guess they just don't want to face actual facts when it differs from their biased, prejudiced opinions.

Oh well. Back to my normal life. LOL

Dear Secret Santa,

This year for the holidays, I want you to draw this character,...

1. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5310809/ (clean babyfur art)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12984389/ (my ref page, clean babyfur art)
Name: Seaweed (cub)
Personality: A little shy at first, but very outgoing once you know her. Clumsy, loud, friendly, silly.
Notes about your character: She loves Figment the dragon, Tigger, dressing up like Captain Jack Sparrow, (http://d.facdn.net/art/seaweed/1395.....eedmarci22.jpg - Seaweed as Jack Sparrow) and Legos. Always wears the Gamecock jersey and clean padding.

Ideas you can suggest:
Christmas morning, coming down the stairs and seeing presents under the tree, all excited!
Asleep under the tree, wrapping paper all around
Opening presents under the tree
playing with a new Lego set, or a new Figment or Tigger plush under the tree

(if you are feeling really generous I'd love to see Tigeris in the picture as well, but of course you don't have to! :) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8279012/ he loves pink shirts with frogs on them!)



Or

2. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14068485/
Name: Seaweed (adult)
Personality: friendly, outgoing, rather silly, a bit loud, a bit clumsy.
Notes about the character: Usually wearing her Gamecock jersey (see first ref link) and long khaki cargo shorts.

Ideas you can suggest:
tangled up in lit up Christmas lights, Santa hat over her eyes
in front of a window, looking out at a snowy night next to a Christmas tree and sipping hot cocoa
making a snow otter instead of a snow man



Or

3. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13613076/
Name: McClusky (He is a Busky, a lop bunny/husky mix)
Personality: clumsy, overly talkative, very friendly, outgoing
Notes about the character: He is a fairly new character of mine and I haven't totally fleshed out his personality, so you can help me flesh him out more! :)

Ideas you can suggest:
Since I don't have too much of a personality for him yet, I will give the person artistic freedom to see what they want to do with the character. If you want to tangle him up in Christmas lights like I suggested above and add your own little twist to it, that would be cool too :)


Thank you for being my Secret Santa!


Love
:devseaweedotter:

If you wish to post this journal, it's been requested that you title it, "I'm afraid of __ out of 72 fears"

if you get more than 30, I highly suggest counseling
if you get more than 20, you're paranoid
if you get 10-20, you're normal.
if you get under 10, you're fearless

I wanted a separate journal to talk to my friends as the other MFM con report was already so long. I just wanted to say thanks to a few special people, in no particular order.



Steelclaw Fox and Brejar- Thanks for the awesome otter stuff for my birthday! It was nice to see you, even briefly.

Ocicat and Hazardous Roo- Thanks for having Timber and I as roommates. Hope we didn't snore too much.

Omni and Firemane- Always love to see what kinda new games you have. I am SO sorry I didn't have time to hang out with you. I hate that I missed that dinner. :(

Silentwolf- I can't believe it's been probably close to 10 years since we've seen each other and gotten to hang out. It was so awesome reconnecting. PLEASE don't be a stranger!

Goliath, Ashley, Brexx, Rubix, and all the other cubs (sorry, I know I am forgetting people)- thanks for hanging out with me and to the ones that went with us to our annual Italian meal, it was awesome. That was a hilarious outing. Another hour in the ball pit!!

Diddy Wuff- I am so so glad you came this year! You are the sweetest lil wuff and you make the cutest little puppy noises ever!

Emi, Tamara, Kengi, and Seppy- Thank you so much for the sushi cupcakes. They were wonderful. I ate WAY too many of them but I couldn't help myself. I wonder if we can make this a thing every year? (maybe not 4 dozen, but one pack that we can share, hehe) And thanks to Seppy for being the cutest, derpiest, handsomest, silliest, sheddiest (is that a word?), huskiest husky at MFM. :)





Finally a couple of very special messages.


Tavi- Thanks for inviting Timber and I to your favorite sushi place in B'ham. It was yummy. I wish I could have hung out more.. :( Can't wait to see those badges! Oh yeah, and you didn't get to steal a single one of my 6 Mountain Dew Throwbacks. You are getting slow in your old age.. :P

Bedtime Bear- My brother from another mother. I had an awesome time hanging out with you and I hope that we do get to see each other in February. As always, thanks for the help with the fursuit games and parade. I couldn't do it without you. You are the bestest little bear bro ever! Thanks for the mustache stuff! I'm so sorry I couldn't find it Sunday night so we can play but I promise I will bring it next year (and in February too if you come!)

Tigeris Tiger- I only get to see you for a few days each year, so every time I get to hang out with you, even if it is just sitting and hanging out, is so special. I just hope that I wasn't too clingy or hung around too much. Thank you for the Tigger blankey/plush. It is so adorable. I will sleep with the blankey every night! And also, thanks for the help you gave Bedtime and I with the fursuit games. It was great to see you (and Skip!) again. You are the bestest daddy ever. Love ya muchies!!



I already miss all of you guys, and I don't mind admitting that I cried on the way home. That is actually pretty significant as honestly I never cry. It takes a lot to get me sad enough to shed tears. And every year, I cry as I leave MFM. That's how much I love and care for all of you guys.





Is it time for MFM 2015 yet?

So, even though I am not sure if anyone reads these or cares, I guess I should write a report about MFM.

First, in case people don't read any further, it was an awesome con like it always is, and you can bet that I will have to be dead to not go back next year.

That being said, I'll give a (un) quick breakdown.

I'll be honest when I say a lot of the weekend is a blur, not because I was drunk (I only had one sip of one person's drink), but because I just seemed to be on the go the whole time, so if I forget things or people please forgive me!

We (Timber and I) left our house about 8 AM Tuesday morning. After an uneventful drive, we made Birmingham, AL about lunch time, where we met up with my favorite munk, Tavi, for some sushi. Expensive, but yummy.

After lunch we headed almost straight north to Lawrenceburg, TN. There we visited PandaGuy's mom and spent the night. She has a pool so I got a little late night swim in. It was nice. She made us a nice breakfast, and we visited PG's grave and it was my idea to leave a tiger plush with him. So we did.

Then, on the road again for a few more hours until we hit Olive Branch, MS. (really just a suburb of Memphis, TN).

We stayed at a hotel about 5 min away from the MFM hotel, had a nice lunch at a BBQ place (Don't ask about my coleslaw incident, LOL) and then chilled out the rest of the day. Was hoping to meet up with other early-comers, but no dice.

Finally, Thursday morning, the con started (kinda). Timber and I made a quick Wal-Mart run, then we headed to the hotel. The caravan from St. Louis was late, so there was a lot of sitting around, hanging out with the people already there. I did play some Cards Against Humanity, but stupid Timber won. :P

So, when the con in a box got there, I helped a little bit, but mostly honestly I hung out with Tigeris and his little group from PA. It was SO nice to see him again. I only get to see him once, sometimes twice a year if I am lucky. It's tough having daddy living far away, it makes the times I see him all the more important and awesome and special.

Most of Thursday was spent hanging out, mostly in the three room suite that is the cub room. I went to Osaka and saw my Gamecocks lose their season opener, that was a bummer, but I got some awesome stuff for my birthday from Steelclaw and Brejar so that was awesome.

Stayed up late cause that derpy burr, my little bro Bedtime came in late. Then we went to Wal-Mart a second time, came back, and hung out a bit before going to bed.

Friday the con REALLY started. I was a bit busy, I had the fursuit meet and greet with Ocicat, then the open fursuit games. I was kinda left all alone by a person who was helping, so I was kinda in a bad mood for a while, alone and bored and stuck.
But the rest of the day was fun. Bedtime and I did a scavenger hunt that was pretty well received. Between those, and afterwards, i again mostly hung out with Tigeris and Bedtime and the other cubs.

Saturday was a blur. I had the fursuit parade, then the balloon toss I was going to do was cancelled for weather, then the milk and cookies meet, and then after a brief rest, the real fursuit games, which I think went over well. (and yes, I made a Wal-Mart run that day too)

For both the open games and the real games we had a pool filled with balls, so of course we had ALL the ball pit jokes, LOL.

Saturday night was a hangout in the cub room with movies and such. It was fun and once again we stayed up late.

Sunday was here before I knew it. I had no events except for the closing ceremonies, and the charity auction. I won some cool stuff in the charity auction, including some really neat Disney records. I kept my spending in the 2 digits (BARELY).

Sunday night was a more quiet, personal hangout in the cub room. we went to Wal-Mart (again) for a copy of Monopoly, as Diddy challenged Bedtime that he couldn't win. We never made an official count, but it looked like by the time we quit (as it was 2:30 AM) Bedtime was the winner, and I was probably in second. If I hadn't hit two spots that cost me over $500 each I prolly would have won but oh well.

Monday.. well.. it just sucked. Woe up super early, got packed, then went downstairs to the last staff meeting. After the meeting I had to pack up the fursuit games stuff. A certain lazy bear slept in and missed the meeting but thankfully came to help with the packing. He and the others who helped really saved my butt, as we really needed to leave ASAP to avoid rush hour in Atlanta, GA. (IT IS AWFUL!!!)

Finally I had to leave the last of the packing to Bedtime because Timber and I couldn't wait to leave any later. Except.. I couldn't find Tigeris to say good bye. There were several people frantically looking for him, as he has medical issues and he could have been having a problem. It turns out that he had a sour stomach after breakfast (with what they offered, I can understand) and he was laying down. I was glad that it was nothing worse.

I said my tearful goodbyes, found Timber, and we were off. I admit that I cried on the way home. I miss my friends very much.

We did, unfortunately hit Atlanta at rush hour, but our saving grace was the holiday, and the traffic was semi- bearable (even if I did have to drive through Atlanta in rush hour, dead tired, trying to keep my eyes open, AND in a bad rainstorm. I am still not sure how we made it).

So, that is the trip, in a very bug nutshell. I love my friends and I miss them and I am counting down the days till MFM 2015.

Whispering Woods

Do not a damn thing at all today!!

Its a good day to lay on the beach and read all day.

In just a few minutes I'm going to be heading to the beach for a week, where I will be celebrating my birthday.

I will have my work laptop, and I will try to log into FA once in a while to cut down on my eleventy billion submissions and journals.

But don't expect to hear from me much if at all, and don't expect any art from me for a week.


I will catch you all on the flip side, hopefully with a nice tan.


See you all in a week!!

So, I know I said I wouldn't be drawing, but I had some trades that I had promised, and honestly watching other people draw makes me want to draw. I am still going to hold off taking new commissions/trades until probably the first week of September.

Right now I have 4 items in my queue. I'm almost done with the badge, so that leaves 3 other items to do by the end of August. Normally this would be easy but my August is gonna be CRAZY!

This Sunday (Aug 10) I leave for a week at the beach. My family takes a week trip to the beach every year. Its pretty cheap cause they rent a house for a week- splitting the cost makes it very affordable, and you just have to buy food. This is the first year I've been able to go in YEARS.



But also.. MY BIRTHDAY'S AT THE BEACH!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!

My birthday's in 10 days (Aug 14th) so I am going to spend my birthday on the beach, getting drunk and eating cupcakes and hopefully not having to do any work.



I get back from the beach on the 17th, and on the 18th a good friend comes in from out of state. He will be staying with us for a bit.. I'm guessing about a week.

And then we will be leaving for MFM either Tues 26th or Weds 27th, and we will get back Monday Sept 1st.





So.. yeah.. busy otter is busy.


I will have internet access and I will be trying to keep up with my FA so it doesn't get out of hand, but I wouldn't expect me to post anything for a while once all the craziness starts.

Okay guys, I love you all but sometimes I don't get you.


I made a time sensitive journal about something that was on sale for a very limited time and asked for assistance. I also made a submission with a link so people will see it.



And I got at least a dozen, if not more, people favorting the post!!!!



WHY?


No seriously.. WHY?

Either you wanted to help me, or you didn't. Why would you favorite it? I really don't understand and I want to know.
