Phew!

It was all I could do to keep looking at that picture of myself from the baptism.  Seriously, yikes!  I got more problems than just bad bangs going on there.  Whatever.  And changing subject with a flourish . . . I taught myself a new trick in the Photoshop knock-off program Gimp.  I know I'm about ten years behind the trend here, photography-wise, but we were talking about doing these "color splash" pictures for something in Young Women and I thought I'd give it a go.  I love learning new tricks, however old they may be to everyone else.  Not too shabby for a first attempt, I think.  If anyone is interested in a little tutorial, I'll gladly post one.  In the mean time, I'm just thrilled to death to see these beautiful paper peonies instead of my own mug whenever I open up the internet.
