Not sure if anyone read my previous journal. I just find it weird that no one commented on it and/or entered my contest. Maybe it was read and no one decided to comment and/or entered my contest or maybe the font colour too bright and hard to read. IDK??? Anyway, just in case, I'm reposting the entire journal in a different journal skin. Sorry if you have already read this. If so then please just ignore.

Not much time left to enter my giveaway. The deadline is November 30. The prize is a free journal skin. For more info and to enter the contest, click the thumb below:

Journal Skin GiveawayAfter hosting my first giveaway of 100 :points:, I'm now hosting another giveaway but of a different kind. Instead of :points:, I'm offering 1 free installable journal skin using any image of your choice, which can be your own artwork or screen cap of a movie, TV show, your favourite singer, etc. But whatever image you choose, I will not work with any images that are nude, offensive, weapons, etc. Sorry but that is my personal choice and could also be against deviantART's guidelines. I also cannot turn a piece of literature into a skin so what you choose has to be an image.
All you have to do to enter this giveaway is send me a message by commenting on this journal or my profile or by note. Each person who enters will be given 10 entries each and there is no way to gain extra entries so everyone will have a fair chance at winning. You do not need to :+fav: this journal unless you really

Do you annually participate in the Holiday Card Project? I participate each year. I was planning on starting on making my card right away but sadly I didn't have time. Another thing I'm going to do this week. I also have to make or buy a unique gift for a Backstreet Boys Secret Santa Gift Exchange I'm participating in and send a Christmas Card for the Brimmies Christmas Card Exchange I just recently signed up for. If you want to make and send a card, click the thumb more info:

Holiday Card Project 2014
The deviantART #HolidayCardProject is back for its 8th year!  With the goal of bringing a bit of holiday cheer to patients in the hospital during the holiday season, the Holiday Card Project connects artists from around the world, applying their tremendous artistic abilities to designing and creating uplifting holiday cards.
In 2013 alone, the Project received more than 5,000 cards sent in by more than 2,000 deviants from 60 different countries/political regions. Cards were then divvied up and distributed by deviantART members to local Los Angeles hospitals, with additional cards given to various hospitals in the U.S. and abroad for deviantART volunteers and hospital staff members to hand out to patients.
The idea behind the Holiday Card Project is simple: do something nice for others. However, if you're looking for even more incentive, every deviant who sends in a card wil

Next, what do you think of my new profile layout? I recently pimped it out. I noticed that people usually follow the same theme but I wanted to be different and use my wallpapers instead. Not sure if I am done or I might add some more things but I don't want it to get too crowded. I would luv to get feedback on it on whether you like it or not. Is it okay or should I make any changes? Also, if you have a premium membership and want to pimp out your profile too, below you will find some thumbs that can help you out. You will also need to know CSS. If you need any help, send me a note. Good luck! :)

"How To Train Your Dragon 2" came out on DVD/Blu-ray on November 11. Did you get yours yet? I got it the day it came out and bought the version with the additional sheep game at Wal-Mart. So glad I have it. Sadly I haven't had time to watch it yet but I will have a few days off this week and plan to watch then.

Finally, has anyone heard of Ello? I recently got an invite and created an account there. I think it's some sort of new social media site without ads. Not sure if it will fly but hopefully it will. But still, my fav social media website is Facebook and probably always will be. Anyway, if you are on Ello, feel free to send me a friend request? If you want to join Ello, you can request to join and hope to get an invite. Think it took me a 1 or 2 months to finally get an invite so be warned that it might take awhile. Anyway, check out my profile here:
