I have allergies year-round that I have to manage along with migraines due to it... But starting around November to March, my allergies tend to be the worst due to the pollen from cedar trees. I get sick every winter, on Christmas, because of how bad it gets to me. And this year is not a good year for this... I feel like I can't go out or do anything this year since so many people are deathly afraid due to covid and I don't want to cause worry. I'm thankful that our small town reminded people about cedar fever so fewer people will worry since the symptoms are different but it doesn't ease everyone's stress so I feel stuck.

And this year is so much more difficult to get into the holiday spirit. We couldn't even do our regular large fake tree since we're stuck in a small house atm due to drama. Thankfully, I have a wonderful family that let us stay here at their place. And I guess it's okay since we have full ownership now but I can't wait to move back asap... But we have no choice but to wait until the problem leaves so we can remodel a bit before we move back in so the messy/dusty parts don't send me to the emergency room.

I guess I just miss the extra room we had, this one is so much smaller than our house it's harder to get away from the noise so I'm suffering from migraines more often. I'm really trying to be thankful for everyone who helped us but I miss having our own home and the quiet. And I wish I could speak to my great grandparents... I really miss them and this year hitting harder and I know it's because I'm so much more stressed than normal for the holidays. But I honestly wasn't expecting the sudden and very overpowering grief. So I figured I'd ask for some suggestions that might help what's left of this year a bit better or easier to manage? I really want to make it a good Christmas for my kiddo so even if all I get to do is vent a bit, I'm hoping it'll help calm some of my aggravations because painting/artwork really isn't doing anything for me right now.

@Grid: Could I get Virgil's Memories, Velvet's Memories, Vivienne's Memories and Vregory's Memories, please?

@Amber Lynne: Yeah, probably for the better. XD
It feels like every minute I have something to do. lol
But feel free to post back later if I seem to have forgotten cause I'm 100% scattered brained. *^*

@Amber Lynne: Lmao Okay, cool!
Will do! Yeah, probably. After all, you have a lot of great characters to choose from. XD
I have a few traditional painting commissions I need to get done.
Then I can message ya after if I think of something.
If not, feel free to post one you'd like done later.

@Amber Lynne: Oh, do I need to repost them then? *^*;
Awesome! XD I'm glad you like it! I'll be posting it to insta just like last time and pinging ya on there.
I'll go ahead and accept the trade now. Thanks for the commission, it was fun.
Lol Any time ya feel like it! Things are gonna be busy either way so I can just work on another piece as I have the time.

@Amber Lynne: I actually added the transparent background version in the post just a few minutes ago! XD
They are under the white background. Is there anything else or are we good? :)

@Amber Lynne: If anything needs to be changed, I'll have to do it tomorrow so just let me know and I'll work on it when I can. :)

@Amber Lynne: Don't I know it. XD I still feel bad when it takes this long for an art piece though. I didn't know if you'd want color dodge so I did two versions for you. One with and one without; as well as a clear background version. If you like it/nothing to change, then I'll accept the trade. *^*

@Amber Lynne: It's been stressful so I'm thankful for the break. XD
Not a problem! I do try to send updates when I can but sometimes theres not much time to do anything.

Please note the line-art color will change later on, just using blue cause I see it better. *^*;

@Amber Lynne: Yep! Also, I'm so sorry I haven't been able to finish your piece yet. With everything going on, I just haven't had time to do anything that needs me to sit down for more than 5 minutes since my kiddo has been stuck home. I made sure everything was caught up so I can work on it today so hopefully, I'll have it done for you soon.

@Amber Lynne: We spoke to him about it and that was one of his worries, that she ruined our friendship with him. He knows now, he's still our friend. I made sure he knew that we don't blame him for any of it cause it's not his fault what so ever. He was happy about it cause he likes going fishing with my hubs. Lmao

@Amber Lynne: Thanks. I'm hoping to get the line-art completed soonish depending on how things go. XD
Yeah, he's doing much better so I'm happy for him.

@Amber Lynne: Lol Yeah... Poor guy went through a lot. It's def nice. XD
I got a bit of an art update for you! Took me a while to figure out why the tablet driver wasn't working but got it working now so I'll be working on your piece the next few days. *^*

@Amber Lynne: I knew they would be when she cussed me out for giving her a list of easy jobs that are hiring here in town. XD But we spoke to her soon to be ex and he helped us with a few things so she can't take over anything. (He's so nice!) And since my sis hasn't been able to get a full-time job atm, living with our folks is best for her anyway. So we worked really hard and got everything set so fingers crossed that we can have this over with this week. I'll be so glad when this is over! XD
