Almost Forgot…..Shadowbox’s 4th Anniversary Is Coming

Published by

October 19 / 16 Hello….just one more thing to tell you: On November 10, Shadowbox will celebrate its 4th anniversary.  As most of you know, well all of you know, that I’m the only person behind the scenes of this blog. This blog has been my baby from the time of its existence. I’m very proud how far Shadowbox has come. What most of you don’t know is that I work a full-time job from 4:30 pm till 1:00 am and there are times when I have to work weekends and trying to keep up with this blog can be hard, but by the grace of God, I come out on top. Now, I would love to devote full-time to Shadowbox and I know that’s going to happen soon. Real soon I hope. So I just wanted to say thank you to the followers for reading and I will keep on sharing info that will benefit to creative people like you and me. Enjoy your Wednesday, be blessed.               …
