This journal is something like a bill-board. You can ask people for help, e.g. looking for an art trade partner, collab partner etc. If you're looking for help, comment on this journal with what kind of help you need.
It would be nice if you could comment again, if you got your help so that I can take you down from this journal. I will take down everything that's one month old because I can't keep track of every help request.
(Do you think one month is too short? Any other suggestions?)

NEW CONTEST! UPDATE: PLEASE READ!UPDATE 5/20/13: Deadline extended to JUNE 15TH 2013!
And so, I have finally devised another contest! Due to popular demand, the theme will be "Helping Hand"! It's true that there are many things we can't do on our own, but it's so much easier and better when you have someone or many others to help you out! Take Hurricane Sandy for instance, homes were destroyed and lives were devastated. But, despite of the widespread destruction and devastation, everyone from all sides of the country pitched in and help the victims not only rebuild their homes, but restore happiness and harmony! So, with that being said, let me go over the contest's rules and info.

Contest Theme: Helping Hand
What to do: Draw/paint a scene where two or more people are helping one another. It doesn't have to be about the example above, but it could be something simple like, helping to bake a cake, or saving a kitty f

_{Dear lovely members,

guess who's back from vacation???
I missed you all soo badly!
I'm happy to be back and announce you something special today! *.*

I want to thank all of you for making it possible to grow more and more as a group and being a strong and active community! I can't believe it! We have already reached 10.000 members and we're still growing! Thank you! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I don't know what to say, you all made me uber-happy.

Before I founded the group, I was a member and contributor of some groups. I saw that some deviants were sad because some of the groups they submitted their artwork to declined their work because of low quality. When I read their comments, it made me sad, too. I thought: Why do they do that? Their art is not even that bad! They deserve a chance! But what could I do? I had the idea of founding a group. Believe me, making up a name wasn't that easy. I love Japan but I'm not a wee-a-boo (or how do you call them). I wanted to mix two words from different languages and combine them to something special. And then Kawaii-World came to my mind! After the group was activated, I was a little helpless. I thought that I couldn't do it and it's not possible to be as good and big as other groups. But everything starts with a small step! I found by chance and she helped me out of the "group-admin-jungle". Thank you so much, my dear friend!
After we did some settings and opened new folders for the gallery, the first members started to join. I was sad about some deviants declining my request to join but it's okay 'cause without an icon, the group's a nobody, right? But who helped me out of being a nobody? Yes, it's the adorable ! You can't imagine how happy I was, when she made the icon for the group. Thank you so much, Minty-Kitty, you saved me!
Then, the group got an image and more and more members started to join the group. After I met my dear friend , my life was complete! I can't imagine life without her. She helped me out with everything. Maybe without her help, I wouldn't be where where I am right now. Thank you sooo much, Lia!
The main idea of this group is to submit cute childish things like products, handmade stuff, photography, digital/traditional artworks and so on. BUT without blood, nudity, etc. because I want this group to stay "childish and innocent". You know how it is, if you see the world in children's eyes. I want it to be like that. Sometimes, when my little sister (she turns 5 this month) is sitting next to me, I show her some pictures in the gallery. And guess what she says? She says: Awww.. I want this, I want that, could you make/buy me one, too? And you know what? I love that! I love to show people the works my members did and I feel proud of it!

What I want to say is, that my goal is to see you all happy! Whether you're a professional or just started drawing.
Furthermore, this is not a "kawaii-desu-ne" group and this is also not a "submit-everything-you-want" group. This is a group where you can share happiness and cuteness.

I want to say THANK YOU!
God bless you!
God bless Kawaii-World!

Alright folks... get this! The super secret special announcement is about to be revealed... get ready...
