Seriously, I was not expecting all the birthday wishes.  I'm a little bit stunned.  Just saying thank you doesn't seem like enough.  I can't believe it was almost a yaer ago that I was first inspired to start working on art and joined the dA community.  I never expected to have so many watchers--I wish I could upload art in a more timely manner for you all!

I want to give a special thanks to ~ShyGaladriel and to *Jamey4, who are both awesome people, and have been following me since near the beginning.  There are some others who have been very supportive, and consistently provide great feedback and encouragement.  I haven't forgotten you!  But there are birthday celebrations to attend and I need to cut this journal entry short.

Trust me though when I say I appreciate all of you.  I recognize the people who post often, and even people who don't comment but favorite often (yes, I try and go through all my "favorited" notifications).  So to everyone, my sincerest thanks.
