I'm glad to hear you're still manipping, because there can never be too many talented manippers and your stuff is truly amazing. But yeah, I guess that's one of the downsides of graphic making - or any creative activity, really. In order to produce something worthwhile every once in a while, you have to accept that for every even remotely presentable piece there's going to be a folder-full of of utter crap, lol.

Aw, thanks, bb! And you're absolutely right, being home pwns being stuck in hospital 100-0.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that! D: Tumors are scary business, and so are surgeries. I hope from the bottom of my heart that your operation goes well, and that the recovery will be speedy and as painless as possible. I'll be sending extra good thoughts and energy your way on Tuesday for sure. ♥

Thanks, I think it will go okay, but that won't stop me from being nervous. I just want this to be over with now.

Some good news, I actually won for best manip at the Wicked Awards. I'm still stunned by that because there were several gorgeous manips in that category that were so much better than mine, I definitely never would have expected it.

I'm sure it will. Go okay, that is. And I think you'd have to be a cyborg not to be anxious in a situation like that. I sure as hell have been a nervous wreck before every single surgery I've ever undergone.

Ooh, that's awesome! Congratulations! I absolutely love the winning artwork too. Spuffy Christmas is obviously where it's at, plus the base pic rocks and the blending is on point! *looooves* In other words, go you and your award winning self! :D

Thanks, yeah, I also did an Eric/Sookie version using that same base=)
