Photohop and illustrator

I am starting some serious Photoshop and Illustrator learning this week.  I want to share my discoveries as a beginner in these complex and exciting programs.

I am going to add my posts to a blog over on Wordpress as a way of learning that at the same time too.   When it is all set up I will post the linky here!  I am deciding whether the free simple blog is the way to go for now or whether I should jump in and pay for the easier route!

Celebrating Success

Last Friday, the 13th in fact I helped out at a Twitter pawty.  It was to help a Twitter pal find his way back from the depths of despair - and it has worked.  Please read about the results of the pawty here and for back story, read this earlier post.

AND!! Wait there's more.  If you truly want to celebrate our success do two things.  Buy a raffle ticket for our handbag draw (see post below AAAANNNNDDD read this.... If you don't cry happy tears you have a heart of stone, no really.......

Christmas Pleasures with Whskr and @NellieJean

I am modelling the shawlette knitted for me by @NellieJean a twitter pal with whom I am doing a shawl and yarn exchange. Family events set my gift back some weeks but I have a super cool parcel ready for my wonderful knitting pal in Scotland.
