As 2023 comes to a close in my time zone, I wish everyone a wonderful new year. I hope you all have good things to look forward to in your future!

I wish everyone who is celebrating Christmas today a very wonderful and merry Christmas! May you all enjoy spending time with your family, friends and those you hold closest to you.

What an incredible journey my husband and I went on! This was an experience I will never forget!
Finland was such a beautiful and magical country to visit! We had the opportunity to go snowmobiling, dog sledding, feed and Pet European Reindeer and were lucky enough to see the northern lights! Not to mention the people there were so kind and trusting. Helsinki was the first city where I felt safe walking around at night by myself.

I am back now, and I would be more than happy to tell people more about my adventures. I also posted some photos on my bluesky if anyone wants to see them: https://bsky.app/profile/snowrora.bsky.social
If the link does not work, note me and i can send you a different link!!

Now time to filter through the backlog of messages and emails that have been waiting for my return.....

The next couple of weeks, I won't really be around on FA much.

My husband and I are super busy getting ready for our honeymoon to Europe. We have been planning this trip for months and I cant believe it is so soon already. To be honest, my packing has been going way slower than i would like and i do not feel like i am prepared for this trip.. but i am still super excited to be going!

I will be back around mid November when we return

I don't post life updates very often, but I am just filled with happiness and so much love right now!

This weekend I married my best friend and partner of 8.5 years. We had been planning our wedding for over 2 years, and everything just came out perfectly. The day was truly magical, surrounded by loving family and friends, and a day I truly will not forget.

Then today I realized that I reached over 100 watchers here on FA. I am just so thankful for the love and support I have received after only joining the community a few months ago. I have made so man great friends from all over the world and I look forward to meeting so many more!

thank you so much to everyone who has come into my life and touched my heart. I will think of a way to celebrate this milestone!

spreading the word on behalf of an artist and friend of mine  kyoriss who could really use your help, if you can.
she is in the process of going through a big IRL move and is struggling financially to pay for some of those expenses. Anyone who's moved before knows it is super stressful and can get expensive to move homes.

she is taking commissions to help pay for said expenses and I recommend checking her stuff out! I Love her art style and shes great to work with!

If you're like me you love seeing how art comes together from start to finish. It's why sketches and progress pics are always so exciting.

TigerSnowflake recorded the process of making one of my favorite art pieces and turned in into a Speedpaint video. it's incredible to watch!
