It's been a while since I posted, but I need to put this out there:

I am currently in an incredibly tough predicament. Honest to god, my mental health is at stake.

I have recently become unemployed, and my current living situation is volatile, to say the least. I have no formal training, or degrees, so finding another job is proving to be far more difficult than I imagined. 

I have no reliable family to help me, and I am on my way to severe depression. 

I have been having suicidal ideations - fantasizing about killing myself. The only thing keeping me around is Madeline. 

Any of you who have followed me for any extended period of time should know I don't like putting my business out there. I hate to have to post this, but I figured explaining it may help everyone understand why I am going this route.

I need to come up with some money, fast. So, I am now going to be selling drawings and digital media, until I can start selling prints, too.

• For $10 I will make blog banners/icons/buttons/etc.
• For $15 you can buy a cephalopod doodle (you pick the animal!)
• For $25, I will draw you/your icon/a picture of you choice (please provide the reference photo)
• For $40 I will draw a scene of your choice.

I generally don't do this type of thing, but desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

Please send any inquiries to jessiincredulous[at]gmail[dot]com

If you don't want to buy anything, but still want to help, I have been receiving donations at my paypal and a YouCare site a friend of mine set up.

If you can't donate, please help spread the word.

Thank you for your time.

Madeline's birthday is coming up...

so I figured I'd make a nice big post about the little Madelpotts.

As of yesterday, babygirl has been trying to walk. Yesterday it was three steps, today is was five. It's like she wants to beat the 'birthday deadline', so funny. She has learned so much, it seriously blows my mind. She can accurately identify her hair, tongue, feet, nose and hands. She shakes her head 'no' on demand and in context. She uses the signs for more, tired, water, and waves both hello and goodbye.

She is so full of personality, and makes the funniest faces. Since it's been so long since I've really posted on here, have a collection of photos from the past six months. Enjoy. =]

Well then.

I am supremely horrible at updating blogs.
Madeline will be one in 10 days, TEN DAYS.
Oh and, she had pictures with Santa. =]

Hopefully, I'll start updating more frequently again. I LOVE YOU GUYS.
