This post is to show off my first ever custom mood theme (and a new icon).  I got a new copy of Photoshop :)  I haven't played with an image editor in a LONG time.   lol

It was really cool to relearn all of the tools.  Especially the 'Action' tool.  I only need to go through the motions once, set a hotkey, and the rest are automated!  Cuts down the time investment in making 133 images :)

Yay me!

In other news, today, I am going to see about decorating up a couple of my old besom's for sale.  They are shorter ones (roughly 4'), and they are taking up valuable space in my tiny apartment.

I'll post pics for everyone to see after they are done.

eta - the icon I didn't make ... I just thought it was cute ;)

I enrolled today in a digital photography course!  Yay!  It starts August 1st and is on Fridays and Saturdays.  6 weeks and I'll be ready to go on to the next course I need for my certification.

If I stick with it, in 2 1/2 years, I canz be a free-lance photographer!  Yay!

I am so excited!  I can has a career path!!  Woot!

I have often bemoaned the fact that Pagan magazines tend to lack the critical visual element that makes them a magazine rather than just a thin collection of short stories and articles.  So, rather than wait for someone else to make the magazine that I want, I am gonna help make the ones we already have more 'magazine-esque'.

This year I will be starting a photography course.  In the end, I hope to be able to work freelance on the side, but during the course, I am hoping to donate some photos to some of my favourite online and print Pagan magazines.

I am so excited.  I never really considered photography before, but I think that it might be the perfect outlet for me creativity-wise.  I get to capture the art and beauty of the world, and share it with everyone else.  Yay!

I have done a few birthday tarot readings, and I think that things look promising for me.  I'll post more about that later.

Anyway, wish me luck!

I have been super productive today.  Even though I spent a lot of time online doing ... not much.  I still managed to:

1) Move and organize my image folder (even going so far as to delete about 150 MB worth of them - go me!)
2) Write a little essay (re: rant) about Paganism and tolerance
3) Install both Dreamweaver and Photoshop on my sadly deprived of memory laptop (if I had known how much memory Vista needs to work properly, I probably would have had them put in more).
4) Dug out my new brick of Sculpey and my mask sketches.
5) Grab a rough batch of new smilies and figure out instructions for coding them
6) Figure out what the whole deal with the spellcheck dictionary is
7) Finally quit my stupid grocery store job


Now, I am going to have a quick bath, look for some word puzzles that I can print out, and finish up the part of my novel that I am in the middle of polishing (re: re-writing).  Not too shabby for a lazy Monday ;)

Oh, and I added up the word count for Ella the other day - 48,730 and hopefully only about a third of the story left to write!  Yay me!

OH!  and I have to re-pink the hair :P
