Introduction
I've been trying to find something to help me along with my fuzzy penquin slippers quest, a place to hold my first gaia anniversary and birthday party as well as to just have fun. I finally figured out how to do it. By selling my new art style. I do like the looks of it and have asked gaians I've used for samples if they liked the looks of it. I know not everyone will like the style but that's alright too. Now enough of my rambling it's time to keep you all moving along throughout this thread.

I started getting things ready for this a couple of days ago not knowing what I'd do with it. After talking with some friends who are also gaians I have decided to open my own art shop. Thus the Grand Opening has begun! <3

Got my first order and also gave out a freebie earlier. Feels good to be back into the art again. I'll have to make a calendar sometime here of specials or days where saying things can give you freebies. Something like that sooner or later here.

Made previews for the avatar art this morning. It's a quick easy way to see them before you click on it to see it in full view.
January 10, 2006 @ 5:50pm
New preview and style of position: Sitting Down Backward Position. Calendar and Specials added along with Updates.
January 11, 2006 @ 10:32am
Created the Freebie Thread called Valeries Artsies Freebies Thread for what's going on today in it. {Check out the Calendar if you dont know what I mean.}

The freebies thread went well for choosing the 4 on the 11th. Also an extra freebie was given out the same day because I felt up to doing another one. Made a banner today too. Not the greatest but that's okay. I still love Nokyos tons more. <3

New Mininess Style! <3 They will be costing the same as the regular style of 500 gold. It takes a while longer to do them even if they are smaller. Hope everyone enjoys them!
January 22, 2006 @ 7:40pm
Added another mininess example of TPP. <3 That will be the third and final example for the mininess. Tomorrow is my 1st Gaia Anniversary! <333
Calendar January 11th, 2006
Will be making a Valeries Artsies Freebies Thread in the Freebies Subform. This is where I will be having most of the freebies done besides some now and then in this thread. Tomorrow there will be a chance for 4 to win free avatar art but I will be choosing the avatars at random. Once the four have been picked I will start work on them.
{I wont always post when I'm giving out freebies in the freebie thread I'm going to be making. So that means it can be at any other time too when I'm up to it.} January 23, 2006
My 1st Gaia Anniversary will be on this day. I will have a post open below for this and what chances people will be able to win free avatar art here. February 9th, 2006

Reserved
{Soon on the 9th will be my birthday but at the moment I'm working on getting something set up for it in this thread. I'll try to get it done before the weekend so then there will be time to have it even if it goes past my brithday.}
Things I'm thinking of doing:
-have a roll dice game for a chance to win a sealed envelope.
-maybe an auction on an item of clothing I wear a lot. maybe bra and panties or maybe my beloved eye patch that never came off after I got it. maybe...depends. XD
-chances for free art.
-may be having it in the chatterbox for more fun.
-may have other prizes to win. not sure yet. still thinking. too tired to think at the moment. I'll have more time on my day off on friday to set this up hopefully.
Any suggestions would be helpful on this. Since if I do this I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in joining in on it. So leave me a message in the thread if you like the idea of it. I'd appreciate it a lot. <3
