2024! We're alive (+ updates)

Been a hot minute since I updated you guys. I got so sikkk this last week that I was just completely out and couldn't do anything. It was poor timing because we planned a trip to Montana with my sibs but when we arrived we literally felt so bad that we just slept in a hotel for 2 nights, then drove home LOL. 1 week later I have 90% recovered as I am writing this.

December went well for me:
+The macaron pop up was a success
+Me and hubs got to explore LA, eat good food, go to universal (his first time)
+Family came to visit us in Seattle
+We saw the Nutcracker, visited Leavenworth, went snowboarding (hub's first time!!)
+We probably got sick from Leavenworth :( wear a mask
+I got lots of drawing time and I'm starting my next book :o will ACTUALLY stream soon
+I entered the Pokemon TCG art contest hmm.. I wonder what Feb's rewards will be...

I'm going to Japan in a week and a half! Any suggestions? It will be my second time and hub's first!!! A lot of firsts for him. But with that said, Patreon rewards will be late this month (I will send them when I am back end of Jan so they will arrive early Feb. 

It's almost been 3 years on Patreon now WOW. I am so grateful to you all! I never thought I would be able to do something monthly and keep in touch with you all. I remember when I first started, I was so nervous because 1) I thought no one would subscribe 2) I thought I would burn out and even made rewards MONTHS in advance 3) I thought I couldn't live up to your needs but it turns out, you guys just support everything I do. I also never thought something like this would sustain me financially-- I am actually quitting my job this month so I can pursue art full time. This is my soft launch, I will share more, but you guys heard it here first. Thank you so much for your support, I am TRULY so thankful.

Have a great 2024! Wear a mask, stay safe, have fun!
