Never stop fulfilling your goals and moving forward. This morning I was looking for something on my computer and came across all these things I've accomplished over the past few years. I don't really think of myself as accomplishing anything great. But then when I think to the past of all the things I wanted to learn to do online. wow!

Maybe you remember a lil' cute email client called Incredimail. *giggles* I had wanted to learn to make those expanding tables and pretty layouts so so badly. But there was always stress and drama in my life and I just couldn't seem to concentrate long enough in some peace and quiet of my own to be able to read and learn it.

Then a couple of years ago I did sit down and learn it. And I completely love what I created. My Incredimail doesn't work anymore now. Even when someone was kind enough to install it on my computer. *lol* It didn't last long. I'm proud that I did conquer creating the letter/stationary though.

Then there is all that I accomplished with Sig Machine.
If you don't know what it is - you can check mine out HERE

Just click 'Faerie Charm' at the top of the map.

There was A LOT to learn and over come with that. But I had the time of my life making new friends and contributing to the pixel community. And finally conquering a big wish. Wooohoo!!! Check marked that one off

Lots of helpful tutorials there...

I sure did have a lot of fun being back in the pixel community again. 
So much fun creating!!! I've always been addicted to glitter, borders, frames,...

I still love this one *lol* It's simple, cute and sweet.

I had so much fun at The Pixel Palace; making monthly checking in graphics each month. Participating in challenges and such. 
But then it just got to be the same thing every month; and felt really lonely and quiet in the pixel community. The same small handful of people participating in the challenges and games every month. Felt like so many were gone that I had known before...
Even admins were not really there anymore. And my good friend who is not a creator; was left constantly holding the bag. Taking on more and more and more. A lot of peoples families have become ill and they are not able to be there or were bored and not committing... And I as well become bored. Not enough going on for me. Wasn't learning anything new anymore.

THEN! Came something new and beautiful for me. 

DIGITAL GRAPHICS!!!!!

NOW I was in love again. And fell in love with digital scraps again, that I had loved years and years ago in the early/mid 2000's. But now they have really advanced a lot. And I was in! I wanted to learn all about these scripts for creating graphics, and all these beautiful hand painted tubes, and these gorgeous graphics and art!!

And this brings us up to last fall when I started designing digital scrap kits, CU packs...
And now this year I started trying my hand at CT'ing (Creative Team). I now sell in
7 digital stores + my own store, and CT in 3 stores (All That Glitterz, Render Art World, Twisted Sisters Creatives) and CT for 1 designer (Moon Vixen Designs).

I still love going to forums and participating in challenges.
My favorite forums I get over to when I'm able are Escape from Reality, and Creative Misfits. I luvvvv fall, steampunk, gothic challenges the most.

I also got to discover the wonderful world of AI this year too. Which has also been so much fun!!!

Midjourney ::  Fotor :: Deep :: Freepik :: Leonardo AI :: 

Well I am itching to see what fall or gothic challenges are available. 
So, I'm off and running :D

Autumn Blessing comes with 60 elements, 127 AI elements, 14 AI frames and 28 AI Papers!! So, HUGE scrap kit! :D
Lots of chibi and AI renderings of ladies that can be used as tubes or elements.

I was given one of the most amazing gifts ever! By my daughter.
Lindsey Stirling Concert - with Walk Off The Moon
Lindsey is so amazing!! The violin has always remained close and dear to my heart. It touched my soul when I was in 5th grade. And it has just never left. I have always regretted that I did not continue with it and go further.

I love the sounds of the violin. It feels like it pierces and cracks my heart.
But in a good way LOL!!

We were so close to the stage! SO cool!!! All of her ballet, and dance, and hoop and swing twirling. All while playing the violin phenomenally!!!
I was completely mesmerized.

So, I only know of her because of Youtube. Because I love faeries! And one of my most favorite pieces of music is 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies'. Searching to listen to that music at christmas time a few years back I came across her. Thought it was just another video on youtube for people to watch.

A couple years later my daughter shows me this video. Ummm!!! I love her! I know that song!! Thats one of my favorite songs!!! I was shocked we had watched and fallen in love with the same music! The same exact person!

And when Nicole found out Lindsey Stirling was coming so close to us to perform. Well, I was just hoping I would get a surprise gift. *lol*

I've been sharing my videos on Facebook, and a couple on MeWe.
