So here I am back in Ireland staying at my In-Laws until Thursday when I ship out with Aidan to Scotland and can finally start to get settled there. Canada was great - it was soo good to see all my family and friends, although I didn't get so see everyone that I wanted to

My best friends wedding was beautiful and I fell in love with Montreal (it was my first time being there!) and we got to take Aidan to the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls - if you've never been - seriously, go there. It's awesome and Aidan loved it (I have some amazing pictures that I'll post later). Still I can't wait to get back into a nice quiet routine, by the end of the trip we all had colds and Aidan and I are still getting over ours - when I'm stressed it affects him and neither of us have been sleeping well

So I have over 700+ messages and 1000+ deviations - I'm sorry if I don't reply to quick little comments like 'nice' and '

retty' and 'I like it' not that I don't appreciate them, I just don't have time, I'm trying to get to the more in deapth comments and I'm also only thanking people who faved twice or more or watched - other than that I had to skip the one-offs so I'm sorry and I'll just say thank you so much here. You guys are awesome.
Commissions/Art Trades/Requests are still closed. I've been finishing up a lot of art and I'm hoping to have some big posts by the time I get to Scotland and get some steady internet again. (Bah.. I'm running low on pencil crayons again!!)
Oh and my birthday was a week ago - lol I'm 26 and I didn't even celebrate

Not a big deal really. I got cards from my husband and my son and my in-laws and that was good enough.
Anyways, sorry for the long journal, I hope you're all well, I'm going to try and chip through the backlog I have and keep working on art. Feel free to note me with anything important, I'll try to get back to you in a timely fashion.
In my absence please feel free to check out some of the awesome artists I've featured below!
Along with finishing up some outstanding artwork I'm also going to be working on a special SM themed peace to auction off proceeds for
