I'll be taking a cruise to Alaska for the next week. No, it's not a vacation. I get to be the caregiver for my father while he goes with my aunt and uncle. I am taking my camera though. And the food is supposed to be excellent (great, there goes the diet). On the plus side, since my father can't have any smoking around him, I'm going to quit on the cruise. If anyone hears screams of horror from the Northwest, it's probably me looking for a cig. If anyone has any problems with any of my freestuff, or any requests, you'll have to wait until September 1st. Then I'll be back and get working on all those projects. Special note: Neftis' new Toon Girl (the NefToon Girl) is going to be amazing. I was lucky enough to get to work with an advance copy of her. I know everyone thinks she's a great toon sex kitten, al la Jessica Rabbit, but I did a great Lucy (as in Ball) using her. I can hardly wait to see what Mychelle-Anne does with the NefToon Boy. Good luck with the Millenium Cat folks! And save a copy of M3 for me!

Hello Jim, wish you a good trip! I am affraid I am not allowed to show anything here unless they assume it's for the MM wich trust me...it won't. but this is another story...I am a little upset now after all this work..I feel exhausted..I should be the 1 to go...Can I come with you??

Jim A cruise is the most relaxing vacation...there you are in the middle of an ocean...you can't do anything...so why worry! I love it. Have a great smokeless time. (most areas are smoke free) Diane

have fun jim. remember the suntan lotion as the sun dont set (at least too long i think)

(with his great freebies) You can message me. :D Have a great time, dear. Even if you are going as a caretaker, I am sure you can find a bit of time for fun. (Although, I just don't know about the smoking thing...best of luck with that, lol.)

And just in time for M3! Wheeee!!!! Trip was interesting. Not as good as I hoped, and the attempt to quit smoking failed misserably. I'll be posting some pics in the Photography gallery later this week. I did come back with an idea for my first stand alone figure though. If I can do it, it should be fun. And Marc from CL answered my question! What a delight! Pity I didn't like the answer. It's good to be home. Now to check all my IM's and catch up on the email.
