Whoo Hooo!!

I am so excited. I finally got two books in that I ordered at the end of January! I ordered two books on Digital scrapbooking, they both teach you how to make your own backgrounds and elements using photoshop elements. I am so excited about learning how to do all of this! I really hope that I can get good at it and be able to share some of my creations with other scrapbookers who have so graciously shared with this beginner.

Tonight I ventured into the art of creating patterns and using those patterns in backgrounds. It was pretty easy though I had to completly redo one part because in my excitment to hurry up and dive it I skipped over the fact that I was supposed to change the pixels to 300 instead of the default 72. I only relized it after I had finished with the patteren I as working on and wondered why my patterns weren't as clear and crip as those in the book. But thank goodness it didn't take me long to correct the problem.

I am really hoping for a snow day tomorrow, one because I really want to learn more about my program; two because the kids have been wild all week and I am exhausted; and three because I am bumbed about missing the total lunar eclipse tonight from all the cloud cover. I figure it is only fair for mother nature to give me the day off if she is gonna make me wait two and a half more years to see a total lunar eclipse.
