This post isn't really about minis, though it kinda is, I guess. I'm just feeling refreshed as of late! I found out recently that I have Sleep Apnea and just started on my CPAP machine. It's interesting, I'm still getting used to it, however I do notice some difference.

I'm really getting into painting again, striving to better myself with each mini as of late. I know my two latest table tops weren't the greatest, but for me they work just fine. The mage, for blending, and the other, well, for my character! LOL She'll be used a lot!

Speaking of D&D (been playing for 5 years!), my new D&D group is AMAZING!!! We have such a great group of individuals, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard as I did this past Friday night. There's no tension, no bickering, and everyone is just genuinely great and really happy to play! I haven't experienced that in a very, very long time. Soon we'll even be having another player return to us that had been with us since the beginning! I'm really looking forward to that :)

So, with new people means new characters. We've started a new campaign and got rid of an older one that we had been playing. It's pretty low level, at the moment, but the new characters are awesome. So many interesting things and new ways of using things (spells, etc., in the game) that it's like starting to play D&D again for the first time! I'm really enjoying this and appreciating the time of relaxation with friends :)

I have a nice bit more on my plate as well :) Free commissions for friends (I hate charging people in general... been told I don't charge enough.. but heck, friends, I'd never do such a thing!) and this new willingness to enter contests and PAINT.. just, wow. I really needed this in my life, I feel renewed.

This post probably sounds gushy, however, I'm happy at the moment.. and that hasn't happened in a while when it has come to my gaming life. I really think we have a fantastic group now and I admit I miss some of the older group we had (drama happened... seriously moving on and don't want to bring it up here) however, change in this instance is good and I'm so happy that the group is cooperative with each other and is so easy going. Heck, us quiet folk can even get a word in now!! I actually was able to speak my ideas!! LOL :lol:

So keep an eye out for new minis from me. I hope to grow in levels I haven't reached in painting as of yet and to just grow in general.
