Additionally, the links to my FB, the publishing of my home address along with accusations of mental illness (and accusing my HUSBAND of the same when he barely even know what a Windstone is?) have seriously put my family in danger. Adding in that my mom is in Congress, (on terrorist hit lists) and giving out my address is unforgiveable. And against the law.
Again, I have canceled all the chargebacks from my end and told the credit company the charges are legit. The hacker says the same. I’ll obviously win once they get down here and verify my identity personally.

Absolutely stunning. The subtlety of the hippocampus colors contrasting with the busier base just brings out all the little color changes. I LOVE this paint job! Nicely done.
I don’t really have anything new to add to what everyone else has said, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this scheme. Just Wow.
Wow when it rains it pours… and apparently I’m pouring words out like crazy! What’s funny is that the moment I hit SEND on my last update, the site went down, or rather it appeared to from my side of things. Since I can now see that my post went through, I’m going to have to believe that my post knocked the forums out. ::grins:: Apparently it’s time to start editing what I write. 😉 -Kat
My wallet’s shrinking already! Retail therapy around Windstone should be criminalized. Did I just say that?! Never! Of course not! Thank you all for the wonderful welcomes. I will get photos out, although my Windstones have always been spread out about the place. The kitties are over with the other kitties I’ve collected, the gargoyles either with the kitties (if they’re kitty gargoyles or close the kitty part usually wins out, except for the candle lamps… I’d burn the house down) or the gargoyles, and so far my one (soon to be two) Windstone baby foo was recently purchased and has been moving about. At this moment in time I have all of two dragons, and one of those is the Guardian Gargoyle Dragon! I feel as if this is obscurely sacriligious, having only one actual painted Windstone Dragon. She’s a brown Mother Dragon by the way. I believe that’s her color. She’s up high on a shelf with the gargoyles and other types of dragons and winged critters. I don’t balance all that well right now so I haven’t brought her down since I became a member here and started catching up (waaaay up) with the complete explosion of… everything! I think I bought her online, probably through ebay. That was perhaps in late 2009 or 2010.
I do have a phoenix that I bought around the same time. The phoenix is the animal I’m most in tune with right now. I’m trying to get that new start… remaking myself after a number of false starts. I’ve gotten the basics for a phoenix tattoo that will be placed on my back, but I have to wait until my health gets better. I have lupus and fibro, and a few other conditions either caused by lupus, or related, as in autoiummune thyroid disease. Anyone who has followed the American show House knows there are plenty of hysterical lupus moments on the show, and when I told one of my close friends that the illnesses I’ve been having trouble with ever since my Academy days have actually been caused by lupus, he said, “Okay Kat I hear what you’re saying, but I have to say back that I watch House you know! And I know IT’S NEVER LUPUS!” So that became a running joke. I even have a shirt that says, “It’s never lupus,” done in the graphics pattern of the House logo. So the hubby and I hoped that after urgent care couldn’t help my recent problems, they surely would be related to lupus. Nope. Lupus is not only NOT the cause, the blood tests show that lupus is currently under control. (As much as blood tests really can say with regards to lupus, and that’s not much.) I’ll slowly get into talking more about this, as it would be nice to talk to someone, ANYONE, aside from my poor hubby and my mom. But explaining even the past few months will take a bit so I’ll either dole details out or later head to another thread. So, ironically, what’s going on with me is NOT LUPUS. The one time I was hoping for it. Anyways, the reason I did digress there from the topic of the tattoo is that lupus and fibro both can react to tattoos. For me, it’s nothing major, but the two tats I already have are grey and black and shades thereof, no color. I want to wait until I’m completely healthy before starting a big design on my back with colors I haven’t used before.
And THAT topic, of my current guide animal being a phoenix, was itself a digression from the fact that I bought a PYO Phoenix from someone a few years ago. I’d love to get a pic up and see if we can figure out who did the work. 🙂 At the time I wasn’t really aware of the PYOs available at Windstone (I’d always bought at dealers, usually one or two over a vacation or something like that) so I’m not sure if I KNEW it was painted by someone else. So we’ll get to see!! I’ve browsed through some of the PYO work done and just…. wow. Wow. Just wow. I see where my NEXT purchase will be (after I grab one or two (or three?) from the classified ads here… I figure I get to pamper myself a LITTLE). But… there’s also that rainbow Scratcher that’s down to two left I believe. I really want. I was supposed to be saving up to get him soon, but then I stumbled into the classifieds and said to mysef, “Self, there are at least FIVE critters for sale here that you’ve been wanting! Self, some of those won’t come again! And Self…. there’s that winged wolf that disappeared off Ebay!!! The one you were going to purchase but took too long before it vanished and you figured it had sold. She was HERE!! She’s JynXx’s! Self, look around, purchase, but try not to spend TOO much of the pamper money too quickly. [My hubby and I exchange gifts but we also allow ourselves a certain dollar amount each of “pamper yoursef” money… Basically getting ourselves something we really want that would maybe be hard for the other partner to purchase, or something that the other half hadn’t thought of, or, as is usually the case with us, we each know how the other plans to spend the money on the “Day of Pampering 2015.”] Originally my day was to be my tattoo, or part of it; it’s a bit large to do in one sitting. David would be with me of course, but with my health I can’t even leave the house right now, much less deal with needles on my spine. So Windstones it is!
I can’t paint at all. It’s possible I could go through the tutorials and start trying (it would be a great way to channel some… something) but I have to wait until I have the fine motor control fully back. It’s not a serious problem, and most people wouldn’t notice that the very fine motor control of my hands and fingers leaves a little to be desired. Basically my hands shake. And when the other problems increase, so does the shaking. So… while I think I would like to try my hand later on, I also know my own talent and anything I created would be for me; I’m sure to create critters that only a mother could love. ::grins::
So as noted, I shall look at taking pictures, or possibly finding shots where you can already see them. I know I have one of my big old kitty gargoyle (not the happy cat, this one is three times that size), although he actually may not have been classified as a gargoyle. He’s one of two, the other being the basic wizard kitty, that I managed to save out of the house during my divorce. (David is my current, wonderful spouse, since May 2008.) On my FB page I have an album full of pictures of the cats and dogs that makeup our family, including all those who’ve moved on to their next phase of life. Right in the middle there’s a picture of the kitty gargoyle, taken looking up at her. She got lots of funny comments placed there.
Thanks for welcoming me in. ::HUGS:: to all! G’night,
KatI was reading your welcome intro and I swear, it could have been mine! From the love of the natural and supernatural world, to the walks in the forests, to the love of reading and the flights of fancy, to intelligent discourse, to the re-discovering of Windstones. I’m in the middle of typing my own intro (I type them elsewhere and cut & paste so that my possessed iPad can’t delete it) but I realized I was rambling, as usual, and I wanted to see what other newbies or non-newbies were writing. That way I’d know if my intro was going to be way too long. Praise be to the deity of your choice bc I think I’ll fit right in!
So welcome welcome welcome, from a new forum member who hasn’t yet submitted her own intro “bio.”
🙂
