i`m very new to lj , this is my second lj actually . i`ve been on gemstonshades , but I didnt really like the name to actually stick to it , so I switched ! anyways , i`m an icon maker from xanga & i`ve had a couple of icon sites by now! i`ve been on xanga ever since 2003 & it`s been pretty interesting ! I can also say that my icon styles are constantly changing & i`m more into experimenting now ! I hope to make some amazing friends here on lj & learn new techinques & skills ! Oh & props to christine(showthepeace) & isabel (winglessenvy) for encouraging me to join lj in the first place <3 ignore the drab banner for now . I just wanted something to make the layout look more interesting ! stylesheet credit goes to snubbly !
