My dear friends and followers, this will be my final journal entry.

The fact of the matter is that I can not color photos any longer. For several reasons, including that 1. I have a new laptop that I will not be downloading GIMP onto, and 2., In just 2 years, I will be going to college. As such, this is my final journal entry to you all, as a last goodbye.

In these 3 years, I've made friends. I've grown as an artist, and as a person. I've become more in tough with the world and with history, and my confidence has improved. I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to every one of you- new followers and old. Every comment and favorite I have gotten has meant so much to me.

As my life moves on, I will never forget the time I spent here. As I start college soon, I will be sure to remember the lessons you all have taught me. I love you all, and I will miss all of my dear friends, who I have known here for so long, and who helped me begin to color photos.

You can still keep track of me on my tumblr, which is currently "phishmarket.tumblr.com" for daily updates on my life.

Thank you all.

Love,
Shelby Watson
