Since in my "other" life I'm a web designer, I'm always looking for cool techniques for web pages. In the past, finding a relatively easy way to make gold text was, well, difficult.
Until now.
Check out this online tutorial from Deke McClelland. He's a master Photoshop guru. :)

Writing Thank-yous
Hi!
We're finally getting to our Christmas thank-yous.... Mom gave Mike one of my Dad's rings, one he wore all the time and my favorite. We just got it back from being re-sized, and it looks pretty good!!
I may just have to draw this... :D
Anyway, I did some Photoshopping to it, and got it to the right size so it would fit in the little "thank-you" card envelope, and it's all ready to go!!

Finally...
After using Dreamweaver for, well, years I am taking some classes. I won a 1-month subscription to the online Lynda.com site in December and was I impressed!! I've known about that site, again for years, but always thought it was a tad bit pricey. Of coures, I was looking at the per year price, and didn't consider the month-by-month rate.
So, in January I decided to shell out the $37.50 for a one-month subscription (I know, not going to break the bank here) which includes unlimited classes for one month PLUS all the Exercise files. Yee HA!!
When I started in December, I took the Dreamweaver and Wordpress class. Awesome!! I also got the "Build your Own Wicked Wordpress Themes" from Sitepoint. So the combination are terrific.
But, I realized that there was so much to Dreamweaver I didn't know! So now I'm taking the Dreamweaver Basics class. One of my all-time pet-peeves is folks thinking they can do web pages without learning basic HTML and CSS. So, in support of this......

Current project
I've decided I need to get back into journaling. But I haven't been doing a lot of art lately, and am a bit rusty. So, to get the juices flowing, I've joined a Journaling workshop, the Strathmore Online Artist Journal Workshop
And, here's my flickr site with the first week uploaded. More to come!!
