Brushing Up

I have done little else but rest this weekend. After being sick for...how many days now?...I decided to spend my day in bed on the laptop and learn a little about Photoshop brushes. I've always been fascinated by the creativity I see other artists delve into digitally - and I'd promised myself to give it a try with my photography.

I found some favorite photos taken at Disneyland during this past winter and just had FUN playing with some brushes I downloaded.

Turn Your Lights Off

She's An AWESOME character!

WOW! Has it really been over a month since I ventured into blogland?!
If any of you are still checking here to see what I've been up to I will be amazed.

I was home from work today - sick - with an ugly bug that is going around. It's not fun at all :(
But, what was FUN was getting today's mail when it arrived!

Tucked inside a tiny envelope arriving by air mail all the way from the U.K. look what I found inside...
A teeny-tiny present wrapped in yellow and tied with red ribbon -- like getting SUNSHINE in the mail!
Of course I knew right away it was from Kate (PlumCrafty)! She is always full of surprises!

What an AWESOME character she is....
LOOK what she sent me!!!
A rubber stamp Chinese character for...
AWESOME!
I have to admit - I've never seen this one! I've seen the ones for HOPE, LOVE, TRUTH, etc., but never AWESOME!
Leave it to Kate to knock my socks off!

THANK YOU KATE -- YOU ARE AWESOME!
