"What are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it away?
For nothing more than a simple taste?
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
It's nobody's battle but your own"

Dear Jude,
You shouldn't have to fight alone.
I'll hold your hand and remind you that everything will be okay.

So TOM's shoes is doing something cool I signed up for. They're looking for artists to help them decorate some of their shoes. I have no idea what they plan on doing with the shoes *after* you decorate them. ? But I signed up to be one of the artists... they just sent me an e-mail back asking for my info and a few examples of my work. <3 So hopefully if all goes well - I'll be doing some volunteer art for them on a cool pair of shoes.
You can sign up as well! (I have no clue if it's just a US thing or not?) Just send an e-mail here saying you're an artist interested in volunteering.

Also - if you're not familiar with TOM's, here's the site:
[link]Basically, you buy a pair of their shoes and a pair of shoes goes to a child in need.
Definitely something that's on my Christmas list this year. (Along with a bag from Mend. <3)

Let's see - I'm working on getting all caught up with DA now. So hopefully if there's anything unanswered from me you'll be receiving that soon.
Also- ALL of the Love Yourself For Art stuff has been sent out as of now. Thanks again to everyone who participated and contributed - you all have my undying love.
If you don't receive something from me in 2 weeks and you were suppose to - please let me know.

I have two little projects buzzing around in my head that I'd really like to get started before March. So journals on that coming soon I think. I just have to make up my mind on a few things.

I hope I get the opportunity to work with them.
I love mail. I am trying to find my postal code (becasue my house mate is getting tired of hearing me ask every 20 seconds) and then I can send you the little pressie I found for eden
Also, I am planning on making a trip to the US this spring to meet a friend who is studying in arizona till may. she is my future roomate in aus. if we make it to near you, I told them we need to stop in and visit.
Our living situation at the moment isn't ideal for having company.
Now I'm going to go work on some presents.
We might not even make it that far, sadly. But the thought is nice.
My pleasure.
