So since I had to move back home and switched to online college, I've seen just how much I'm needed here at home. My little sister doesn't have many friends, and everyone else here is so busy with work and my new baby nephew that they don't really have time for her. She's only nine, so I've been trying to get her involved with reading and art, things she can do on her own. I've started painting a mural on our bedroom wall with her (it takes a long time, because I don't do it all the time, I work and go to school as well). I've also convinced my mom to set up a craft station in our basement.

I'm so excited that she likes painting and sculpting, though she wants me to do things for her, I like that she has something new to play with that isn't television or video games. We just bought a kid's crafting set with a book and supplies, and I spent about an hour with her painting ' pet rocks'. She's having so much fun she's still down there, four pet rocks she is waiting to dry so she can paint more, and making a snowman out of modeling clay.

I'm so proud of her. This summer, I finally got her into reading, something which she hated to do. Since I found books she likes, though, she does it much more often now.

I also will have some updates here soon. I'm working on some gaia avatar art on illustrator, and hand coloring my Omega Fantasy Costume picture.

Oh wow, I didn't realize you were doing online college now. How's that going for you? Do you like it? Also, that's so nice that you're doing so much for your sister. You're such a good big sister! You should feel really proud of yourself for getting her into art and reading. I know I'm proud of you for it!

And yaay for new pictures! =D
