The greatest gifts of all

Another long journal...Do you dare read?

This current Christmas has been one of my best, Though I was given lot’s of great things, three in particular have made me very happy, so I will start gloating now if you don’t mind.

:iconjunkbyjen: chose the most appropriate time to feature The wishing tree as a Daily Deviation on Christmas day. Though it didn’t do nearly as well as High rise, the fact that my art was DD material even over a year ago means a lot to me. It brings me to the question if there is a Daily Deviation limit, as I have never seen more than 3 in the same gallery. If that is true, then I may only have one left…kinda scary, but I won’t worry about that now. Thanks to all who commented and faved that and the others too!

Even better than that, my best friend of 14 years, who moved to another state a couple of years ago decided that his present for me was to buy me plane tickets to go and spend time with him. We hardly see each other anymore, and it is often he who visits me instead of the other way around…My town is crappy, dried-up and boring, at least we can have more fun on his home-ground, The Gold Coast…the kickass seaside city where it’s all at.

A stroke of luck also happened. While visiting relatives I may only see twice a year, I noticed their neighbours had cut down that lovely Frangipani tree I was eying off, but haven’t yet sent it to the dump. Knowing that unlike most trees, the Frangipani will literally grow if a huge branch was put in the ground, I took several pieces for me and my family, so we can all have one of these great trees, without having to wait years for it to grow, or having to spend hundreds of dollars on a pre-grown one.

Well that’s it for a while. Be on the lookout for my next TerraSpace scene around new years. I will also submit my first animated emoticon in a few days too and make more depending on what response I get from it.

Congratulations on the DD! That's so awesome. The art well deserves a DD. And congratulations on the frangipani tree! I'll bet that was a wonderful surprise!

Big hugs,
Anj

It's strange though, it dosn't appear on my front page where my newest deviations are, yet it still appears in my gallery when I browse it, even though the category for it is still scraps.

Well...as long as people still see it, thats all that matters for now.

Why would you scrap that wonderful animation?

The admins did it...Yeah, they pick on me, but they look over that Sunset photo put into the "domesticated animals" category.

LOL

Unfortunate for you to be in the spotlight. Shouldn't they at least simply reassign it to a new category instead of forcing you to remove it from the one you chose to submit it in?

I know...I hope deviations in scraps can be put into the main gallery again, or I will have to re-submit it and it won't get nearly a smuch comments and faves as the exitement would have dies in most people.

I have to wait for a response from the policy team at the helpdesk, after asking them what would be the best category for it. That little animation took me NINE HOURS !!! and it deserved better than being in scraps !
