I just want to say Happy New Year to everyone. :) I don't just hope, I know this year is going to be better than the last, and that you can get through all the issues and problems in your life with a smile.
Last year was really hard for me. I lost a many friends because I moved, and lost someone very important to me because of brain and lung cancer, which started as melanoma. They taught me everything I know, if it wasn't for them, I would never have shown my art to others, and probably never would have tried to better my art. But I am forever thankful for the one friend that always stuck around, which if you know her you know her as @GreenleafFantasy. Have a great new year and pursue everything that comes your way head on! :)
