I’m so excited to be writing this right now! So… Almost a year ago I said I wanted to start selling my art. That never really took off, because I realized that getting the paper, being able to ship things out, and executing the entire thing was going to to take a lot of time … More Art for Sale
I should really post more often. But hey, the only way to start doing that is by posting something, so here I am! It’s been more than two months since I basically filled you in on my entire year doing SCD. Sorry about that. Ok I’m just wasting time. I’ll actually start now. Let’s go… … More Exhausted

Ok, I’m sorry. It’s been like, a whole month since I’ve done anything with this blog. But life gets in the way, even when you’re a twelve-year-old who mainly just has to focus on homework and school and what to wear tomorrow. So, my last post was on March 2nd, and today’s April 2nd, which … More There is A LOT to Talk About.
