Hello everyone, I am absolutely embarrassed to post this or even think about doing this, but I worked 14-16 hour shifts last week and I am still short on rent which I have to pay by next friday and if I continue working 14h shifts, I gonna collaps

So due to declining health latley and since I am a freelancer, I don't get paid when I am ill. In total, I am missing €400 for rent which is due next Friday, that is the most important for now. So I am opening commissions again.

For Commissions message me at @leahgfx If you can/want to help me out, here is my PayPal link. (If you help, I will pay it back end of August, I otherwise I would feel awful.)

Back on my Mantis Blog I used to do commissions, sadly I lost most of my graphics/themes but here are the things I found.

THEME EXAMPLES (Latest (best) > Oldest) ONE. TWO. THREE. FOUR. FIVE.

I dont really have any icon borders / divider as examples here right now but I can always prepare an example for you and we edit from there.

HEADERS/PINNED / MANIPS/GIF EDITS / ICONS. / COLOURING.

I can do Themes, Mobile Themes, Google Docs, Base Icons, Icon Borders, Gifsets, or Photo Manips/Edits. I don't do Carrds nor gif packs.

Also feel free to check out my blogs for recent works: @shedornish / @draecaris / @bcnedict

As for payment, I don't like to put price tags on things, so I will let you pay whatever you can afford or want to pay for my service, I trust you to be fair considering the amount of work I will put in. I will also need money for my pets, medication, food and bills. But as said, rent is the most important now.

Thank you so much for your understanding and support.
