        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I actually drew something, FINALLY!  I thought the devil would be ice skating, but hell didn't freeze over.  I'm now in the process of lining it and hopefully coloring it to somewhat satisfaction. Sigh, I was looking up Photoshop tuts but for some reason they all just read like greek to me, maybe it's my fate to never be good at digital painting.  I'll just have to love the vector, which I do.  Hopefully I'll get some alone time to finish it soon.  That's about it. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ On June 1st I gave birth to a sweet little baby girl.  Her name is Lilith Vivian Helena a.k.a Lily.  She was 20.5 inches long and weighed 10 pounds 8 ounces.  Unfortunately it's not all happy baby joy, since she's still in the hospital :(  Now I'm busy going back and forth to the hospital to visit her and trying to squeeze in time with my son as well since he's feeling a little abandoned right now too.  Steve ended up having to go back to work without his little girl coming home, so he's sad about that, and I'm just getting more upset each day that she's not home, and I don't know when she's going to come home. ]]></media:text>

It doesn't really have special meaning to me, just something I picked, but I'm thinking maybe using my name or something, ie catmARTin or something silly like that.  I haven't even picked names for my unborn baby who's due in a week so I think I'll have to debate this one for awhile.  Great new feature though ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So I'm now just over the halfway mark, at 23 weeks.  It won't be long now before my life becomes even more insane.  As excited as I am I'm also a little anxious as to what I got myself into, raising a newborn and a toddler!  We're also planning a big move to a new house sometime in April or May, depending on when the repair work is done, because I can't just have one thing going on at a time, I've got to shove as many big events at once as I can.  I'm starting to get back into the swing of doing some actual art now thankfully, but I'm still trying to find my voice so to speak.  I guess that's it for now.  I'll be haunting around here more oft ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Okay so here's the wrap up of why I haven't been around and how everything is going<br /><br />First, I decided to do my first Christmas Craft Fair.  It took place on Dec 2nd-3rd and I was selling different Christmas wall hangings/papercrafting items etc.  It didn't go very well, but it didn't go very well for any of the vendors there.  A lack of customers and a skewed age demographic led to some disappointing sales, not just for me, but for many.  This was why I wasn't around for the last 2 months.  All of my free time was spent working on products.  I haven't even drawn anything since October.<br />Since I have some items left over I'll put up a few pics ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Sometimes that's how I feel.  I'm just waiting to break into the design/art world, but with little to no success.  A lot of it is my fault though, and some of it is just my situation.  I live somewhere where there is very little demand for design work, so I've been neglecting my portfolio in a major way and not really making any effort to get a job in that field.  My other issue is that while I'm a big fan of my own work I'm never really out there trying to promote myself or get my stuff seen.  I also never do anything about the tons of ideas that are in my head.  Motivation thy name is . . .   Ack I've just got to do something about this.    ]]></media:text>

Ha ha, I have a really classy way with words!  So here is something I don't really mention much but I am available for commissions.  I know I never really bring it up, mostly cause I figure no one would really want a commish from me, and I don't like whoring myself out, but since I'm s ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Okay so I'm going to have to admit it.  I am obsessed with scrapbooking.  Yes, scrapbooking, that cheesy thing that homemakers do when they have way too much time on their hands (kidding!) When I took my hiatus a few months ago it was so I could focus on my scrapping and get caught up on all the pictures I needed to do.  As of now I'm still behind, but not so badly, which is way I've begun doing my digital art and sketching.  I've been debating posting my layouts online here on DA.  I've been wondering if I should do it from this page or create a new DA page solely dedicated to my scrapbook layouts.  I've noticed that there aren't really many ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I've been thinking recently that I'd like to do a few designs for t-shirts, maybe create a calendar, and a few other products that I could sell through an online shop, probably Zazzle.  Any thoughts?  Even if you didn't buy anything would anyone like to see what I came up with? It's just that my body of work right now doesn't lend itself well to t-shirts and stuff, just prints.  I really do love to hear my fellow deviants input when it comes to my ventures. ]]></media:text>

I did some sketching yesterday.  It was the first time I had even looked at my sketchbook in over 4 weeks.  I can't even remember half the ideas I wanted to do :(  Right now I'm catching up on all my messages and hopefully I'll get a little time to myself soon to do a little more art.  I miss not putting anything up.  Also, I've bee giving some deep thought to going back to school in '10 so that I can be a teacher.  An art/design teacher of course though! ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ It was kind of weird, I just celebrated my first Mothers Day yesterday, wow, never thought that would happen.  I've pretty much been spending all my time lately with Seth, which is great, though I'm feeling a huge tug towards my computer.  I really want to do something . . . anything creative!  I also just got a new printer and it prints photos beautifully, so yay, no more having to go to Shoppers to print off a ton of 4x6's for scrapbooking.  Yeah that's right I'm actually scrapbooking, though I haven't done any of that in a long time either. Argh, motherhood, a blessing and a curse at the same time!  A blessing because of getting this wonde ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ no art.  It's been a little while since I've done anything even remotely artistic, and it may be a little while longer before I actually get anything up.  I'm working on something that's taking up most of my time, and I just came back from a little vacation with my husband and our baby, so this is the first time I've even been on my computer in over a week! Hope to get some more stuff up in a bit, but until then hope everyone is doing awesome! ]]></media:text>
