Well, I haven't been on here in a while, but in the time that I've been nowhere to be found, I turned 18!

It's a strange freedom that keeps hitting me like a glass of water to the face everyday.
Everyday I wake up thinking,"I could go out, get a job, move out, get a driver's license, get married, and I wouldn't need  my parents consent for ANYTHING!!!! "
But I'm not to sure I want to exercise my freedom just yet, lol.

As I said in my last journal, we've moved. There's not too many problems with the house, but one thing that bothers me is my floor is slanted a little bit. It's too easy to have my paints and water to flop over now.

I also have a website now: cheyennemartinart.webs.com/
You can see more than just my paintings and drawings, etc. there. I'm hoping to fill up the "Crochet" folder with my crocheted items.
Plus I'm going to put up a folder in the Gallery that shows what art of mine has won awards, and I might also put up a folder to show what art has been entered in contests, but didn't win anything.
I don't update it very often, but I might put more things there than here...

And in March, I came up with a plan for the next five years.
"A plan?" You say.
"Yes, a plan!" I exclaim.
You see, I'm not too sure what I want to be "when I grow up". I could pursue art, but it's very underrated, and very few are recognized for their talent, and I kind of lack in that area.
And I'm actually smart enough that I could pursue many other fields, and we need quite a few professional jobs filled in my hometown - like veterinarian, which is what I wanted to be when I was younger, and we also need some good lawyers around here.

So, anyhow, I'm not too sure what I want to be, and I graduate high school this year. This coming school year is typically when someone like me heads off to college, knowing what they want to be. But since I don't know what I'm going to be, I'm not going to any college next year. I'm going to spend my time saving up money, and figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. And if I don't know what I want to be by the school year after that, I'll go to art school, because that's what I'm best at (even though I'm not too good at it... aranoid)

So, let's hope I don't screw anything up, and hope that I figure out what I want to do!

'Til next time!

We're in a new house!!!!

I'm so  happy! We have way more room and my bedroom is six feet wider than my old one!!!
Plus, I now have a closet.

But I still kind of miss my old house... even though I really shouldn't. The old place was sooo close to falling over!

We still haven't brought our dog King here.
And I'm not sure if my dad will let me bring Rhiannon here. Sometimes it seems like he doesn't even want King here.

But I'm so happy we have a new home. There's plenty of room for us all and we live right by town.

... I keep feeling terrible because I paid $30 for a subscription and I've hardly used it at all!
But with all the craziness of this year, I've hardly had time to practice drawing and painting.

I know what one of my presents is, and it's driving me nuts!!!!
I want it soooo baaaad!!!!
I really wish my Mommy hadn't told me.

Merry Christmas to you all!!!

I haven't been on here in forever.
The main reasons I've pretty much abandoned my account  are:

During the summer, I was out enjoying my life!
School just started.
Aaand we're trying to get a new house.
We've applied for the loan, but we're all caught up in an appraisal mess!
... I haven't been drawing or painting much recently...

So recently I've been a little busy and stressed and blaghck.

I'm hoping to put up a few things sometime this week, but I can't be too sure of it...

I've changed my avatar. Me likes it.

I may go ahead and delete everything piled up in my devWatch, there's like 4,000 deviations in there.
So if you want a random opinion or something, send me a note.

...C.O.N.T.E.S.T...

I finally have the results posted!

You can check it out here: violetsky53.deviantart.com/jou…

I'm so glad we had so many great entries!
They were all winners in my eyes!

...P.A.I.N.T.I.N.G...

I've been painting on wooden plaques a lot, and I love it!

But I had to buy sand paper because the people that manufactured the plaques didn't make them very smooth.

But I've painted 4 so far, and have only two left!
I need more...

----------------------------------------------------------
...L.O.C.A.L...A.R.T...C.O.N.T.E.S.T...

I need to get some stuff ready for the yearly local art contest, but I only have one thing ready!

I need at least two more done, because usually they accept just three, but last year there was no limit!
I really liked last year.

And... yeah! Don't sniff the fruit salad!

'Til next time!
