With my domain set to expire 6 months before my plan, I am pulling the plug sooner. I will be leaving WordPress on May 31st.
Regularly scheduled daily art begins in Jan 6th and ends on May 30th.
Been in the blog game for 12 years, how I incorporate creativity into my life is always changing. I may return, ya never know.
I have entered the realm of charitable artist. I donated my cat paintings to my therapist who has quite a bit of patients who are children and she uses the paintings as a refocus tool for them. I am humbled to know my art is helping people.
I can count on one hand the people I met who i have actively emailed/snailmailed and consider a friend, who would open their doors to me and i would do the same.

It’s wonderful that you’ve donated art to help others heal

Aww. No desire to change to a free plan or open a 2nd blog? I periodically wipe out my older media so that I can stay on the free option.
Thanks for donating your art… esp for therapy!
