Way to go, sweetie!
That is absolutely awesome. Congrats on your wins and congrats on reaching a few goals as well. :)

red_satin_doll May 11 2015, 02:48:11 UTC

Thank you dear heart!

(Is it silly to have goals like that, do you think?)

snogged May 11 2015, 12:02:56 UTC

Nope. Not silly at all.
I make goals like that too.

For a second there I read that as "goats"

I need to get new glasses, maybe? *LMAO*

congrats bby!

the icons are really wonderful and i'm honoured to have inspired something with my own unskilled experimenting. colours and motion and SUCH PRETTY. the mod's choice icon is also so gorgeous i love what you did with it (and kelsey's icons are always so so so beautiful, right?).

love the banners, love the icons, love the inspo, love YOU

((also hi))

Oh SWEETHEART HEY YOU!! I was hoping if I called your name you'd see this. So pleased you approve of them - and tempertemper told me that my icons inspired her banner, so that makes me crazy-happy - the chain of inspiration goes on.

Thank you so much Lucy and yes your icons totally inspired that one and you know which ones I mean, right?

and please stop with the "unskilled" nonsense ok because that is just rubbish. That tri-part collage icon that's your user pic? I don't know how to make that and I've tried. (Yeah I know how to do a collage but getting all the images to align the way I want? Forget it.)

(and kelsey's icons are always so so so beautiful, right?).

God yes! I'm just beginning to fumble my way towards what she does on a regular basis.

HOW ARE YOU, BTW? I'm working hard at my job and kind of have no energy for anything else, so, meh. I don't know how I even got these done.

say her name and she shall appear! (actually, that's kind of a lie i was only on lj stalking old ficathons for prompts for some original writing i'm trying to sell and i saw - oh hai inbox i see you and your little red bubble ( ... )

red_satin_doll May 12 2015, 12:47:51 UTC

Damn i thought you got the message through the ether - don't break my illusions they're all I have, 'kay? *LMAO*

Srsly, I assumed email inbox notification. (Which is a very off and on thing btw and I guess always will be.)

you mean the icons from my latest dump right? the ones that were all pastel-y and pretty - buffy on the phone and the blurry fighting shot

Exactly *points to user pic*. I'm really pleased with how this one turned out. The entire icon was softer, blurrier, but I sharpened the details around Buffy's face because I liked how that balanced the whirl of her hair.

(something i'd appreciate happening irl once and a while /sighs)RIGHT? I am working now so something did "fall into place" (never mind the place is CAH-RAZY-town), but I suspect that's why we have our passions, hobbies and habits - maintaining the illusion of an iota of control. (Hey it beats illicit drug use and bulimia, right? Which reminds me - are you taking care of yourself, hon? Regular meals and all that ( ... )
