I'm a Christian wife & mother who enjoys depicting the realm of fantasy in paintings, drawings & the written word.
This is a heads up to those of you considering commissioning me – my prices will be going up after Christmas. I’m sorry but I put so much time and effort into everything I do and the money just isn’t covering my time anymore. Anyhoos, the listed prices will remain until after Christmas. I haven’t chosen a specific date of change yet but I will let you guys know.
Questions? Please comment here! 
Hey you artists out there! Have some time to kill? Feeling creative? Good!
Because I have an original character that I would love to see people draw! All pictures created of my character will be permanently displayed on my website and in my favourites folder in my deviantART gallery if you have a DA account. They will also be featured in my deviantART journal!
Description:
• Name: Myriddian (female).
• Body: Athletic yet curvy.
• Skin: Pale.
• Eyes: Deep blue.
• Hair: Long, straight, very dark burgundy hair, usually tied in one long braid.
• Scars: Three long scratches on the right side of her face from her hairline to her chin.
• Clothing: Everything she wears is black. Cloth pants and shirt covered by a leather vest, long leather boots and a long cloak clasped at her neck by a dark blue gemstone brooch.
• Personality: Intense. She is a fighter but speaks rarely and never smiles. She has lost much in her life and exists only to exact revenge on those who destroyed her life. Yet she cares deeply for those around her and would die for those she cares about.
• Weapons: She carries a sword and matching dagger with a dark blue gemstone in the pommel ( same blue as brooch).
• Examples: Sketches ‘n’ Stuff | HoneyDragon.net
What to do:
• Draw, sketch, paint etc Myriddian and email the image to me so I can upload it here!
• If you use the image anywhere please include “Myriddian © Kathryn Whiteford” somewhere in your description.
• Please no explicit scenes/nudity/excessive gore etc.
email: kwhiteford@honeydragon.net
If you have any questions please email me. Oh by the way – there’s no time limit on this. If you show me a pic of Myriddian a year from now I’ll still add it to my website. ^^

ED FREEMAN
Medal of Honour
You’re a 19 year old kid. You’re critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray , Vietnam.
Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 – 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the Medivac helicopters to stop coming in. You’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you’re not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you’ll never see them again…
As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn’t seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it…Ed Freeman is coming for you… He’s not Medi-Vac, so it’s not his job, but he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
He’s coming anyway.
And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.
And, he kept coming back…. 13 more times….. And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.
Medal of Honour Recipient, Ed Freeman, died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise.
May God rest his soul.
I bet you didn’t hear about this hero’s passing , with all the media obsessed with the death of a pop star…

Don’t let this true hero be forgotten.
Andrew bought us a KITTY yesterday!!! My husband is the best, love you babe! <3
I named her Nova and if you can guess where the inspiration for her name came from you’ll get a cookie! ~_^
Anyhoos, here’s some photos of her on my computer chair. And that bright pink thing on the right behind her is part of my desk. Yes it is that pink! XD
<3 Nova! <3

My first tutorial! If you have any questions or problems with this tutorial please let me know.
I live in Victoria but thankfully no where near the areas affected by the devastating bushfires. As I write this 173 lives have been lost and it is believed that the death toll will rise above 200 as crews are able to search the ruins of desolate towns; towns that no longer exist. It is simply unbelievable to watch the destruction on the news and even though we are so far away form the flames, we can still smell smoke. In fact, it has been reported that smoke from these fires has been seen in the Southern island of New Zealand…across the Tasman Sea.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about just Google Victorian bushfires and you’ll soon understand.
The worst of it is that authorities believe some of the fires that have taken lives were deliberately lit. If they ever catch those responsible (and in time I’m certain they will), they should be charged with multiple counts of murder. Because they are murderers. I just hope for their sakes the police arrest them before relatives of those who died find them.
There has been so many people giving so much to people who have lost everything – everything. Not just cars and homes, but tragically family and friends. So many have literally been left with nothing but the shirt on their back. It brings tears to my eyes when I read some of the reports, but there is something each of us (in Australia at least) can do. Donate to the funds at your local banks, ring the donation hotline, donate blood if you are able, give clothes that you and your family no longer need but above all pray. Pray for the fires to end, the rain to come, strength for the firefighters, police and volunteers to do what must be done, and comfort for those who have lost so much.
If just ten people donated $30 that what make $300 dollars. Even $5 or $10 will make a difference – no donation is too small.
Phone 1800 811 700.
Go to any NAB, ANZ, Westpac or Commonwealth Bank branch.
Go to any Bunnings store.
Make a direct deposit to the Victorian Bushfire Relief Fund BSB 082-001, Account number 860-046-797
Australia Post will donate $1 million to the bushfire relief fund and collect donations in more than 4000 post offices across the country.
Managing Director Graeme John said people will be able to donate immediately at Australia Post outlets.
Another appeal set up is the Myer Bushfire Appeal. All proceeds will go to the Salvation Army. Donate at any Victorian Myer store.
Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009.
Please do what you can and pray.
The artwork below (when completed), will be auctioned with the winning bid donated to the bushfire fund (not including shipping & insurance).
Stay tuned for more information.
