!!!!!!!!Phil, my boyfriend of nearly 5 years, gave me an engagement ring on Sunday evening. ^-^
I was playing Plants vs Zombies. He handed me a white porcelain box with the casual comment that I could keep some jewelry in it. While I was oohing and ahhing, I realized there was something IN the box.
It was another box, an older box, covered in antique red velvet.
Inside of it was a diamond ring. ^-^
Princess of Romance here, I blurted out, "Are you fucking serious? Where did you get this?"
(It's a family heirloom.)
I didn't believe him for the first few minutes. XD I thought it was some kind of joke.
Soo.... I'm engaged! Very happily, might I add.
No ideas on a date yet, but I'm thinking early next summer. Or maybe even this fall. XD Why wait? All I want is a barbeque. 'cuz I'm classy like that.
In Other News of Awesomeness
recently created some artwork using my stock that I fell in love with. Here:
[link]Graciously, she asked if I'd be interested in a print. OF COURSE I was.
So a few weeks later, I'm at work and I get a call from my mother that a ginormous package has arrived in the mail for me.
I was like, "Whhaa?? I didn't order anything!"
So I rushed over after work to find THIS waiting for me:
My jaw hit the floor.
So did my mother's.
Like, ASDF@&^$324dSD!!! Seriously.
So three cheers for one of most awesome dA artists ever.
Way to show the love. ^-^ Thank you.
Also,
sent me a package of cards bearing me as a mermaid:
THANK YOU!
I am always so delighted and surprised by these sorts of gestures. They really make me feel appreciated and remind me of one of the many reasons why I create and share stock.

This journal's random Natalie fact: I met Phil about 6 hours after I dumped my ex-boyfriend. ^-^ Bizarre. And perfect timing! The Universe was watching out for me.
You may use my stock photography for just about anything. But here are my few rules:
1.
Anywhere you post artwork or images which use my stock photography (*including as reference for a drawing/painting!), you MUST include my name (Natalie Paquette) or my user name (fetishfaerie) in the image itself, or in the description of the image. If you're posting it outside of dA, find a handy way to do this, please. It would be fantastic if you could link back to me here, or include my email address (fetishfaerie@aol.com) as well.
2.
Note me if you use one of my stocks. I want to see what you people can make! That's most of the fun of doing this whole thing, anyway.
3. *Updated November 5th, 2006*
If you would like to sell an image you've created using my stock, you have my permission to sell it through dA Prints. This applies to all dA artists. However, if you would like to sell prints or merchandise through other means, you must contact me for permission first. Also, if your work involving my stock photography is going to be submitted for publication anywhere (magazines, books, etc.) you MUST obtain my permission first.. and please see rule 4.
4. *New as of December 16th, 2007*
If you are using any of my images on commercial products (you must gain my permission first - note or email me for that!),
you must provide me with a copy of that product. For example, if you use my work to make your band's CD cover, a book cover, if something gets printed in a book or magazine, etc. you must send me a copy of it. Considering that I provide these images for free, it's the only form of compensation I can think of that would be fair. If you're going to be making money from it, I should too.
** If you put artwork using my stock onto items at the dA store, or on products through websites like CafePress, you do not need to send me the product. I know they make those as-ordered, not in bulk. HOWEVER, if you wish to be so generous I certainly wouldn't say no.
Just contact me for mailing information. Thanks!
Q.
Can I post artwork I've created using your stock on my personal webpage?A. Yes! You can post artwork you've created using my stock ANYWHERE you'd like, so long as you give me proper credit. (Linkage rocks, too.)
Q.
Do you do requests?A. Sort of. I'm always open to suggestions, but I make no promises. Photographers are hard to come by and some things I just can't do by myself. Time is also an issue, and so is interest. But don't be afraid to ask! I may just decide to oblige you.
Q.
Can I use your stock photography as reference for a drawing or painting?A. Yes! I love to see my work used for more traditional purposes. Please remember to credit me!
Q.
Can I sell an image I've created using your stock?A. If it's through dA prints, you already have my permission. If you'd like to sell it through another website, put it on merchandise, or sell it personally, you must contact me for permission first. (And please see the new Rule 4.)
Q.
I'd love to buy one of your stock photos as a print! Why don't you have prints enabled?A. Honestly, if you like one of my raw stock images that much, then download or save the full version of it and print it out yourself. I won't be offended in the slightest. I feel silly making free stock photos available as prints that people have to pay for (especially since the profit is so low - dA makes most of the money!). However, if you'd like to purchase some of my work in an effort to support my artistic habits financially - check out my CafePress store!
[link]Q.
I manipulated one of your photos, and sent you a note - but you haven't left a comment. Did you look at it yet?A. I've probably looked at it, but I didn't have the time at that moment to leave a thought-out comment. I fall behind very quickly on notes and comments here at dA, and I apologize. If it's been more than three weeks and I've yet to comment, please send me a note again!
Q.
I make stuff, and I'd love for you to model it. Would you do that and let me use your photos in my advertisements/on my website?A. If you want to send me your product and let me keep it, I'd be more than happy to show it off. Just note me and we'll discuss details.
