Secret Santa!

This is  my secret santa gift to one lucky person but if you don't want to take your chances I'm thinking of taking pre-orders for 4 - 5 more to be made.

The reason for pre-orders is so that I can gather enough supplies to make these myself. They fit TIGHT in a medium flat rate box and just about perfect in a large flat rate box which I can also fit at least 3 in should someone want to order more than one but save on shipping.

Price is $50 via paypal upfront and then the price of shipping once I send you a confirmation number. Unfortunately these are going to be in the USA only for the time being.

If this is something that interests you, feel free to contact me and let me know. As soon as I hit 4 or 5 interested buyers I'll start a page for it in etsy so you can pre-order. :)

Happy Holidays!

It's been FOREVER!

Hey everyone! I know it's been dead around here and I appologize from the bottom of my heart for the absence!

Over the past few months there have been some very difficult times my family and I have had to go through which left me in a dark place where I felt very alone. I've been doing a lot of struggling with life and my physical problems lately but there is some light at the end of the tunnel!

On November 9th at 4:09am we got to welcome our little princess Zelda to this world! Zelda Marie Blackburn to be exact.

Right from the start we obviously wanted to hold her and cuddle with her but there was something that had the doctors and nurses slightly on alert. As she would breath she almost did a sort of grunting noise on every exhale. This was something they called "belly breathing" which wasn't horrible new but definitely not good news either.

So they had to wisk her away and do all sorts of tests on her to see what was going on inside her tiny body. Afterwhat seemed like forever they came back with the news. Her lungs had some fluid in them still which she did not expell from birth like she should have.

They also mentioned that her lungs were not working as they should to help pump air in and out of her. They ended up putting her on a breathing machine and an IV for antibiotics to help her breath and strengthen her immunity while she was in NICU.

After 4 days in the NICU they gave her the "go ahead"! She was free to go home and everything had developed just as it should, she just needed a couple extra days and a bit of help to get there.

So no, we've got her home and everything is going fine with her. Thankfully we have some amazing online friends that rooted for us and also helped out when we needed it.

So with all of this being said, there are still a lot of challenges we're facing currently but I wanted to let everyone know that you should keep an eye out for some new reviews! I can't wait to get back to work and show you some of the newer games I've been playing!

Still going strong!

What's going on everyone!? It's been a little while since I've posted and I apologize for that! I've still been playing games like a mad man. I just can't help it, I've played one every day for the past year and it has become part of me like coffee to others. I suppose you could call it an addiction but I look at it more as therapy, lol!

For the past 17 days or so I've played quite a few games, like in the past, one every day at the least. I've also been doing some painting but not in the past week. When I do paint, I usually do it for hours on end with breaks in between because of back and neck pains.

Here are some pictures from this past couple weeks now:
