Upcoming Events for the Week of November 30th
Sorry last week was a no-go for event updates, and next week may prove to be a bit sparse as well. With the holidays coming up, my JOB job has been more hectic and flux has been left in its wake. Again, so sorry.
BUT—on the bright side, lots of fun happenings these next few weeks in terms of Holiday Art $ales and the likes that I thought I would share.
Hope you get to make it to some, buy me something nice!
