good news!!

Hi all my blogging friends, do you see the pictures?  YAY!! i managed to get extra gigs for my blog, yes it cost a minimal ammount, but i seem to have loads of space now, just gotta watch that i dont load such large format pics in the future.  Hell when blogger told me i was outa space on my blog i nearly had a nervous breakdown!
Well since i got the space i thought i wouldnt waste time and i would make a card to share and also enter a couple of the challenges that are on the go right now:

Coloring medium:  copics:  Skin:  E21, E00, E000
