                <description><![CDATA[ So after all the drama of NOT moving to Australia, I am somehow still forced to announce that my husband and I are moving... to Germany. This one is a done deal. We ship out on the 1st of January. If I have any Deutschlanders in my watcher list, we may meet in person one day. I am also taking donations in the form of cold weather clothes... We are leaving the warm Arizona sun behind us. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was tagged by the lovely <a href="http://nosferatuemo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/o/nosferatuemo.jpg" alt=":iconnosferatuemo:" title="nosferatuemo"/></a><br /><br />These are the rules:<br />1. Post the rules.<br />2. Each tagged person must tell 8 things about themselves<br />3. At the end you have to tag 8 people and post their icons in your journal<br />4. Then go back to their page and leave a comment saying you tagged them [D:]<br />5. No tag backs<br><br />***<br />1. If I do not have a cup of coffee in the AM I am horrendously mean.<br />2. I nurse a mild phobia that any milk I happen to be pouring is gonna have chunks in it.<br />3. I love sushi.<br />4. The only dream I remember from last night was of me sweeping glass across a very long stretch of concrete. I think it is a cross between sweeping at work and that I broke ANOTHER dish the other day.<br />5. I seem to attract spiders.<br />6. The 4th of July is my favorite holiday.<br />7. I am a read-oholic and do not get much housework done unless I HAVE to.<br />8. I had a customer at Maui Wowi yesterday that works for Starbucks. She said she was sick of their drinks, so she wanted to try mine. I was thrilled since I am devoutly loyal to Maui Wowi. I have only had Startbucks once since I started working there. And that was just so I could not feel guilty about sitting in one of their plush chairs at Barnes and Noble.<br><br />Okay now I have to tag 8 people. Sorry. I am going with people who will forgive me for bothering them <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Heather I would have tagged you, but I do not think you are on here very often anymore.

It is free, but I am very hesitant to have yet another site that has to be updated. I already have too many. So I thought I'd see if any of you have experience with it. It is suppose to be better than Esty, but I am not on there either... Thoughts?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry I have been so incognito lately. I have been very busy and there is no end in sight. The good news is I was able to pay for my summer class and I am way happier than I have been in months. Not much painting getting done, but a lot of thought and conceptualizing. Stephen and I have a photo shoot with a model Sunday, which will be fun. I have two shows coming up. April 18th is the second Mawi Wowi Art Show & May 2nd is the Art Fiesta at the Monastery. I NEED help from all of you. Please leave a comment with your three favorites from my gallery. If you have the time I would really appreciate it. I am trying to decide which pieces to have prints made of. I have decided to try and sell some since no one is buying my originals right now. Thanks for your help.<br />Hugs,<br />Nikka<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just wanted to take a moment to introduce my Sister to my DA friends. <a href="http://themoonslittlesister.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthemoonslittlesister:" title="themoonslittlesister"/></a> She draws and does photography. Please check out her page and say Hi. I started a page for her months ago and she has finally added some of her pictures. No drawings yet, but I am hopeful that she will soon. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />So if you would all join me in welcoming her I would appreciate it.<br /><br />Also need to post the info for my next event: 	<br /><br />The Art Fiesta at Mesa Fiesta<br /><br />My next Art Event is this Saturday 11/15/08 at the Mesa Fiesta Mall. message me if you need a link to the address and map. The event will be at the pavilions from 4-8pm. It is a family oriented affair, so you can bring your kids.This one has nothing to do with the East Vally Art Guild, so I do not really know what to expect and I do not know anyone involved as of yet. I am however hopeful that the closer we get to the holidays, the more likely that I sell something.<br /><br />Wish me luck and I hope to see you there.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Nikka<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, I need help.(I always find myself saying that) I have an old friend from high school that is suppose to buy one of my paintings. I have been holding it for a while for various reasons, including it being in a show over the summer. Now that the show is over she is suppose to buy it. Almost a month ago she said she had already paid her bills for the month and needed to wait until the next payday. That should have come and gone. I have not heard from her since then until tonight. She messaged me saying that she really wants the painting, but can not afford the whole amount right now. She wants to make payments on it. I have had a few people interested in the piece, but had considered it as SOLD to my friend. Have any of you ever run into this situation? It would not kill me to let her make payments. I would love to hear of any experiences you might have had that was similar. Good or bad. <br />Thanks,<br />Nikka<br /><br /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was Tagged by the lovely <a href="http://freespiritiris.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/r/freespiritiris.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfreespiritiris:" title="freespiritiris"/></a> Here are three of my favorites from her journal. She tagged 17 people, but I am not going to tag anyone. If you wish to pic up this thread you can find the real thing on her journal. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/95874059/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs33/150/i/2008/237/a/5/Trust_Yourself_by_FreeSpiritIris.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/93130610/"><img src="http://th41.deviantart.com/fs32/150/i/2008/211/5/1/Open_Hearted_by_FreeSpiritIris.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/94404256/"><img src="http://th68.deviantart.com/fs32/150/i/2008/223/9/b/Dolphin_Softness_by_FreeSpiritIris.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br />I find that I enjoy Iris' work because of all the really interesting, almost spiritual things I see when I look at one of her pieces. It is like cloud gazing. She also writes poems to go with them. She has a wonderful appreciation for life that I find refreshing and endearing. Please check out her gallery. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just thought I'd throw a question out there for you guys... <br />Which would you rather seem more of, my acrylic/moon/abstract or my watercolor/figurative/fantasy? I know they are hard to compare because they are really nothing alike. And it is also kind of moot because I am still doing both, but I really love Art and want to try to do work that more people will like. So I would like opinions on this matter... I am also working with oils right now. (I am a busy girl) I am hoping that one day Oils will be the happy medium where my different styles can get in bed together. Thank you for any input you can give me.<br /><br />I also would like to announce that I have started a blog about my art. You can get to it by following the link to my website, then click on the my blog button.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As of last night, my latest completed paintings are up on my website. Thanks of course are due to my loving (if way too busy) husband Stephen <a href="http://evrwccn.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconevrwccn:" title="evrwccn"/></a> who is not only my webmaster, but is my photographer as well. <br />I know a few of the new pieces are a departure from my norm, but I am making great efforts to incorporate the figure into my art. You can expect to see my more abstract works to continue as well though. Maybe someday the styles I am painting will incorporate and become one. Who knows?<br /><br />Thanks for any comments or advise. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> And a special thanks to my watchers for caring.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay so it has been over a month since I've blogged on here. I know you are probably thankful, since I really never have anything interesting to say, yet I keep on saying it anyway... lol<br /><br />Since my last entry we have gotten a new kitten. Her name is Serendipity. We call her Psycho Sera for short. She is a Russian Blue and completely fearless. My grown cats are scared of her...lol She had kennel cough, but is better now.<br /><br />I got bit on my left hand by something (spider we think) while doing yard work Tuesday night. My hand is still a little swollen. I have been icing and massaging the site, which seems to have helped. No job + no insurance = no doctor. <br /><br />My watercolor class starts Monday night. I am super stoked about that. I am going to be pinching pennies to buy all the supplies for it though. I have the whole starving artist thing going for me now. Seriously. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I have started asking my friends to pose for some stock photos. I did get a few to volunteer. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> But have not had any time to do anything yet. They will be taken by my hubby and will be my exclusive stock.<br /><br />I have been in a funk the last few weeks as far as feeling like painting goes. I did finish one a while back that I have not added on here yet. I always wait for it to get to my personal website first. I have about 5 that are serious (acrylic) pieces, that I just have not felt like working on. Hopefully my watercolor class will kick me in the pants.<br /><br />Anyway there is my blathering update. I hope this meets all requirements you might have. if not please message me and I'm sure we can work something out. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ After tonight, I will be on a road trip until Thursday the 31st. So I will not be online much if at all during that time. I will be taking the cat I have been fostering to Seattle to meet up with his flight and escort to Japan were his family is. And I will get to get a new kitten when we get home! Yay!!!

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a quick not to tell everyone that my exhibit is going well. It has not been a full week yet, but I had a lady email me to reserve Bleed. She wants to buy it when the exhibit is over. If that is ALL I get out of this whole endeavor, I am happy. <br />Last night we had a little reception of sorts for my display. We met there to check it out, then we went out for drinks. We ended up having dinner instead, but it was fun.<br />My Husband has been my official ringmaster lately telling me I should be painting and giving me ideas for paintings. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> He is so cute. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> Anyway I am on the ball right now and finishing up a bunch of old beloved paintings I have had laying around. My old job did not usually leave me in a mind set that allowed me to paint, but now I have no job other than to paint. I'm a lucky girl.<br /><br />Okay enough about me. I have to introduce an artist I have been watching lately. Geoff; <a href="http://nastyindustries.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/a/nastyindustries.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnastyindustries:" title="nastyindustries"/></a> His work is so fun to look at. Please visit his gallery & say hi. You will get a smile out of it surely.<br />Thanks,<br />Nikka<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a bit of an update about what is going on in this crazy artist's life.<br /><br />Okay, so most of you know that my husband has been deployed since March. What you do not know is that he was suppose to be home this past Saturday... Still waiting. He is able to call me every day or so, so we have been in contact. He is now thinking he will be home sometime this week. We have a lot going on right now. We have plans that begin at around 4am staurday the 14th. If he is not home by then, we will be in trouble. We rented a cabin in CO for the entire week. It is a 14 hr drive... Not refundable. Friday (the 13th, ooh scary)is my last day at work. I will be attempting to get on with Arizona State University, so I can go to school there for a more reasonable fee. I will be going for a degree in art education. If i can not muster being a professional Artist, then at least I will be able to teach art and be around it all the time. Art is one of the few things that makes me happy, I never tire of doing it or just looking at it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /> Anyway do to my impending unemployment status, we feel it would be really really bad to just eat our vacation money. So I am sitting here at work... counting the hours to unemployment, waiting for my husband to return. I am anxious, excited, nervous and not sleeping very well. All in all though I am feeling much less stress in this situation than I would have say a year ago. A year ago I would have been ill over this. So much change and unknown. Maybe I have matured. Maybe it is that I am doing this for the right reasons. Or it is just time, time to do what makes me happy... Sorry this seems to have ended up being a lot longer than I thought. Anyway, here I sit, waiting to exhale.<br /><br />A few things to check out.<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/87802562/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs27/150/f/2008/157/4/7/473ec48529a335b5296f55b6d76857d3.jpg" width="114" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/86998728/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs27/150/f/2008/149/6/5/65ddf9880fe48751d2134ea66d256670.jpg" width="110" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/87850746/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs28/150/f/2008/158/6/1/Arboreal___Painted_by_graemeb.jpg" width="102" height="150" /></a></span></span> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Thanks be to the Mistress of Markers <a href="http://ladyfanhir.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/ladyfanhir.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconladyfanhir:" title="ladyfanhir"/></a> for tagging me... She loves silly brightly colored striped socks! <br />No worries since I enjoy this sort of thing.<br /><br />Now for my 8 bizarre facts.<br /><br />1. I despise performing any task that involves cleaning... My house is not too bad, but only because I do not live alone. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br />2. I am hopelessly addicted to Harry Potter fan fiction. <a href="http://www.dracoandginny.com">[link]</a> is my favorite place to read it for reasons that are mildly embarrassing.<br /><br />3. I love to eat so much, that I learned how to cook only because it was costing us a fortune to eat at the places we love all the time.<br /><br />4. I am a crazy cat lady who stumbled upon a man who digs that. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> We have been married almost 8 years and we still write each other love poems. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <a href="http://evrwccn.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconevrwccn:" title="evrwccn"/></a><br /><br />5. I hate soda... don't know why.... does that make me weird?<br /><br />6. Hearing other people chew really grosses me out.<br /><br />7. I make great yaki soba.<br /><br />8. I like good salsa more than I like money.<br /><br /><br />Okay that took me way longer than I thought it would... I know there are tones more nutty things about me, but I guess I must need other people to point them out since I can't think of any. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />Now I have to tag 8 other people... I will go with the friends Whom I feel will be the least mad at me for it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><a href="http://subgirl512.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/u/subgirl512.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsubgirl512:" title="subgirl512"/></a> <a href="http://evrwccn.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconevrwccn:" title="evrwccn"/></a> <a href="http://indagofire.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/indagofire.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconindagofire:" title="indagofire"/></a> <a href="http://shamful.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/shamful.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconshamful:" title="shamful"/></a> <a href="http://beyonme.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/e/beyonme.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconbeyonme:" title="beyonme"/></a> <a href="http://freespiritiris.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/r/freespiritiris.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfreespiritiris:" title="freespiritiris"/></a> <a href="http://amethystpurple1805.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/m/amethystpurple1805.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconamethystpurple1805:" title="amethystpurple1805"/></a> <a href="http://rospberry.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/o/rospberry.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconrospberry:" title="rospberry"/></a><br /><br />Okay thats it peeps.

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a quick note to apologize for not posting anything for a while... It will be quite a bit longer before I am able. My Photographer/Husband is deployed and will not be back in country until mid June at the earliest. Until then I am only able to take crummy pics with my cellphone, since he insisted on taking the camera with him. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> If you want, you can check out my Myspace page where I do post those crummy cellphone pics of my art & also ramble about the books I read and /or whatever. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ...lol  <a href="http://www.myspace.com/pale_raven">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>
