First and foremost- i would like to thank Don for my 3 month subscription- it was a unexpected gift that lifted my spirits beyond belief in a time of need...

Well - I've seen other people reporting this in their journals from time to time, i just never thought it would happen to me....My puter crashed and took all my programs with it- i had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall my windows. and of course i didn't have the disc for my photoshop- i'm so very lost w/out it- It was my most favorite hobby- so, therefore can't justify spending 700.00 for a HOBBY- if i made a little money at it- it might justify the means- but it has allowed me to do some other much needed things and to work on some other hobbies- i.e. painting, beading, penning...but i'm just so uninspired w/out my photoshop- i can't escape and live vicariously through a beaded necklace....lol! or through painting ceramics! OH well, no biggie, i have a feeling someone out there will feel sorry for me enough to help-lol!

I got a real treat in my email this week- so unexpected- just needed to share- it's just incredible work- you must go check out his gallery- my new friend christian-

and credit to for the wonderful background for this piece-
WOW another phenomenal piece made by my friend I just cannot believe he's a novice at this like he says he his- i think he's quite the pro- anyway-- on with the show- here's the new piece made for me- I feel like a little school girl, all giddy and happy- funny how little things like this can just make someones world go round and round...and how someone from the whole other side of the world can touch your soul in such a way that it leaves a tattoo forever in ones heart...anyway all credits are in his gallery-

Stock Rules

Please read

I guess i need to specify some rules- for i have found some of my resources in scrapbooking blogs- i don't mind that at all- i'd just like to know!

1. no stealing and claiming as your own
2. i only want to see what my resources are being used for- that is my satisfaction. I love to be a part of the art world- and to know that my efforts are for naught-
3. you can use outside of d.a. but i would expect you to have a d.a. account- with work in it....
4. i'm not sure yet about the print aspect of it- i need to look into that...
5. you can do anything with my stuff- i.e. turn into brushes...textures...backgrounds- just give me some credit please?

These rules are subject to change- but i needed to get that out in the open- most these rules are a given. and are proper resource use etiquette. I'm not asking for much here....
