Thank You for a Great Year!
Another year has passed us by, and I am once again feeling overwhelmingly grateful and appreciative of all of your support! I think of how far I've come in 2014, and it is all thanks to you! Each Like, each Share, anytime you mentioned my work to friends and family- it all adds up and it means so much to me! Building a business from the ground up is not an easy task, and there's no way I could have reached where I am now without your encouragement and help! <3 <3 <3A major highlight for me was vending at Nekocon. It was my first "real" Artist Alley experience. I loved meeting so many new Shlii friends and amazingly talented and hard-working artists! I also joined the incomparable Facebook group, Artist Alley Network International, which has been extremely helpful and encouraging- there's truly a wonderful sense of community!2015 will be the year of the Merpug for me. For months now I've been working with a manufacturer on the prototype. More than ever before, I will need your support for this to become a reality! As I've been working with the manufacturer, I've also been putting together a Kickstarter. I want to provide some awesome Backer Rewards, so I've been very busy planning everything out :) I would absolutely love for Merpug plushies to become a reality, and it makes my heart swell just thinking about it!! >>Learn more about itLastly, here's my convention line-up for 2015 so far:
