He was concerned that the kids didn't appreciate that what I do around here is my job, i.e. work. They still don't get it, but I'll enjoy me some slave labor tomorrow :D

New Creation

Jeez it's hot today! Okay, so it's in the 70's. However, our a/c appears to be on the fritz and it's 81 in the house. Feels cooler outside. Think I'll take the kids out after dinner.

My new digi class began a couple weeks ago. It's called Digi in Deep and it's hosted/created by Jessica Sprague So, I'm currently on Day 4, which is the first Thursday. Today I received Day 13 email LOL! I'm so far behind. In my favor, Lesson 1 had 10 parts so it took me longer to finish. Also, each part was a bit complicated. We're really exploring some of the features of Photoshop and it's so cool.



On Day 4, the lessons are called "Cre8" and it involves making 8 pages with a common theme; a mini-album, if you will. The assignment was to make eight pages using a specific set of materials and each page was to contain a quote of some sort, instead of a photo. This project scared me but it's only 6x6 and I actually decided to do mine of meaningful Bible quotes like: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. So, I'm excited about that. I made the cover page and one inside page thus far. I'll post when I'm done with it. Hopefully, I'll get somewhat caught up before the end of class. It's a four week class.

They're also doing an organizational class for ACDSee which I hope to take but that will have to be later this summer or whenever they have it again. An additional task this go around is to do something inspirational and then either use the scrapbooking technique or create a layout about it or do it. I chose organizing my photos on the computer. We'll see if I get that done, as well LOL!

I mean, I can't even keep my blog up to date, even though I think of stuff all the time. Too bad there's not mental telepathy into your computer. I'd have blog entries every day haha!

Well, I don't know where the toolbar is right now for posting pictures. Will come back later.
