and i created a testimonal page . so if you are a happy customer of my art, please please don´t hide...write me some nice words...remember: noone goes into an empty store...spread the word

love

♥ Natascha

i just want to thank all my online friends for the well wishes, the support and love they gave me!  

all your nice words made me strong and helped me thru this surgery time.

everything went well...the hospital was great, everyone was nice...i had a two bed room with free tv and the food was ok, too.

i have no big pain, only the scar on my back itches and scratches all the time and i can´t shower yet...that´s aweful...

i can not wash my hair...good that noone sees me...lol

another thing is:

the art books i send out to my dear customers finally start to arrive overseas...after almost two weeks

well friends, i have my surgery date now. it´ll be on november 17th...

they will cut me open and drill a hole into my spine to pull out the squeezed and damaged disc.

sounds gross...

money situation is still tight, health insurance didn´t pay in time.

you know? here in germany , if we get sick we get our money from our work for 6 weeks and

after that we get about 75 % of our last money from the health insurance company.

sounds good first but isn´t that easy at all...maybe we´re spoiled.

i´m glad to have that health insurance but i also was very angry at them last week....

it is as always...as long as you pay and you are healthy, everything is fine and they are nice. then you get sick,

after years and years of not beeing sick (actually i´ve never been sick that long before)

and they try to fool you. 

i am not afraid of the surgery, as i said...it is the € stress that worries me.

if that wouldn´t be i could say: life is good....well i have to work on it...i can not work in my job , but i can make art...

a lot of people told me i could make a shit load of money out of it...

anyone here to teach me how the hell i should do that ?

someday i will make a living of it.

yesterday someone told me: live your dream...

i do...i do

because besides all the real life shit that is going on, my online public art life is growing and

i meet more and more interresting and awesome people online, artists and artlovers and

that is wonderful and makes me very happy.

here are the good news (after ranting out the bad):

he writes about magic, elfs, vampires, mysteries and...art. that´s how we came together.
