31 for 21: Playtime with PSE

I hope you’ve been by Braska’s place to see her latest post.  It featured a picture from this morning… and I cannot get enough of that picture.  I see so much there.  I don’t know if I can flesh it all out in writing right now.

But I did want to use it for a new siggy. So I played a little today.  I use Photoshop Elements for my various image work, blog designs, logos, blog buttons, and photo edits.  It’s not the big bad professional Photoshop, but I don’t have hundreds to spend on such things.  PSE works just fine for me.

After some playing and a lot of changing my mind, I have ended with this…

 

I’m pleased. I had something different in mind, and maybe I’ll do another later. But I like it. 

Credits to Lissa at HunnyBee Design and her Candy Town Kit for the papers and elements that I used to create this.

Lissa also graciously did 3 awareness ribbons for me recently, with DS colors. They are here if you’d like to get them from her. Be sure to leave a thanks for her for doing that by request for all of us!

Remember, if you need a siggy or a fresh blog look or just a cute collage for the cover of your little one’s school binder, drop me a note with what you’re looking for and we’ll make neat things together!

And can I just say how cool/weird/fun it is to see one of my buttons flying ALL over the blogosphere??  With lots of input from the fabulous Tricia, of course, my most famous image is obviously this one…

  1. Great use of the picture. I will keep you in mind when I am ready to do a blog makeover! Blog hopping and was at your other site just moments ago!

  2. I didn't know that was yours! I've always liked that button, even if I've completely failed at the assigned mission. I'm going w/what Crittle said.

  3. Love the picture of your girls!
    Have you seen my idea of a blog "makeover"? It is pretty pathetic! My mind just does not understand things like photoshop, codes, html, and so forth. It is not English you know? it is computer language. And between English, Spanish, and Sign. I have enough! ha!
    While I seached around trying to decide if I needed to pay for a blog lift or try myself, I kept thinking, "you know, RK could make this her business!" Think about it, you are so good!

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
