First of all: Happy belated new year to all of you! Hope you’ve had a good start into the new year and that 2009 will bring positive things your way.

I know, it’s been a looooooooooooooooooooong time since I was last active here (if checking in hurriedly and leaving two comments and faving about one photo can be called “being active”, and I really feel sorry about that.
Hope all you kind people and talented artists can forgive me for not living up to my previous promises. It’s just that our financial situation isn’t getting any better, so instead of spending two hours a week online, I just hop onto the net for half an hour, which I mostly need to organize my e-mails and to research on the matter of migrating to some other country to work there for a couple of years.
I definitely miss being on here and I fondly remember the hours I used to spend on deviantART, and of course I miss all of my friends here desperately! *sniffles & hugz you all*
Let’s hope things will get better soon and I’ll be able to come on here for longer periods soon…
2009 did bring a nice surprise my way already: My camera is working again! We showed it to someone selling cameras and the like and he said it was never really broken. The thing is that I had been using rechargeable batteries from Germany for years but they got too weak, so I had to exchange them for normal batteries bought here. That person said those batteries aren’t powerful enough for my camera and he advised me to buy two expensive rechargeable batteries and try. Well, it worked, and I’m on cloud number nine!

Take care, all you wonderful people out there.
