Exciting!!!
I'm excited because Trudi from Two Dresses Studio is busy designing a new banner and background for my blog. I have thought for some time that my blog needed to be dressed up a bit. It looked pretty boring, but I'm about as techie as a paper towel holder. After seeing Jennifer's blog, I decided to see what Trudi could do for me. We've been emailing back and forth with questions and ideas. I'm really ready to have something different. You can go here to see her ready-made backgrounds and banners, or she can custom design for you if you have your own ideas. The question is how many of us design our own, and how many would like someone else to do it for them? I think that depends on computer savvy. I'm amazed that I could even start a blog -- well, come to think of it, I couldn't have without a host like Blogger. Maybe I could have, but it would have taken me into my next lifetime to do it. I'm happily waiting to what Trudi comes up with.

I have no idea what I had in mind for this. I just pasted papers and added various elemements. The woman is a transparency. I think this could be a "key" to a secret of hers. Who knows? I like working with a grid type composition like this. Everything is somewhat neat and orderly. I also like chaotic asymetrical compositions. I tend to decorate my home in an asymetrical fashion. This translates to: when I hang pictures, I point and hammer the nail. I don't measure. A friend gave me a tiny punch (top dragonflies). And I do mean tiny! I really like the punched paper used with the rub-on big dragonfly.
Hope you are all having a wonderful day!!!

It's much more fun to do art than go to the gym. I don't quite remember when the little aches, pains, stiffness etc. started. I really can't complain, but I never used to think about my body except when applying makeup or trying some new sport that really made me "stretch" my abilities. I hate having the workouts hang over my head, so I go at least three days a week and then I can enjoy my art if I get to it. I'm always saying "I don't know when I had time to work full time" -- and I don't. I have so much respect for all of you who work and have children at home and get masses of art done and posted, not to mention being active in many of the Yahoo art groups.....I have to say you're just more organized than I. Oh yes, and I am up at 6am. I do go to bed around 10:30 though. On those sleepless nights I prowl my groups and try to get caught up on messages.
