I've spent a lot of time this weekend in the Paint Shop. Nothing was appealing to me for a week or so. I deleted many things before they were halfway done. Inspiration set in again plus a need to unwind.
I'm just shaking my head at the sunporch here. It was empty but not is loaded with furniture and things...ok....three months of this....ugh. The rooms aren't put together just yet but I have a brand new dresser in my room...yay!
The bed situation is hanging in limbo for the time being. Two tv's are at Goodwill with one more to go this week.
I wanted to mention that Bea of Wanderer mentioned this journal along with D and Shelly's for her favorite graphics. Tickled me pink to be put in the league of those two or at least close to it.
She was mentioning favorite journals to read. I have so many. I have far more readers in this journal than my personal one. I have met so many new people through this journal. I love all types of journals and feel that many have become friends and know their families as if we have met.
My intent when I started this journal was to provide graphics and tags to others to brighten their journals. Before I started making them, I had a terrible time scrounging for things I wanted to use.
Funny that Bea mentioned Shelly and Donna. Shelly got me started with PSP and sent me the program plus tutored me...ugh. How hard it was at first just to add a tube or image to a background. D has been very instrumental in my progress along the way. Hugs to both!
So, whether you leave a comment or just pass through and find something you like, that's ok with me. This is a hobby that provides relaxation for me. That others are finding pleasure from my hobby is a huge plus.
Have a great Sunday! HUGS Chris

Thank you for giving me a little history on your beginnings here... I didn't know of your relationship with D and Shelly... but there you go... great graphics creators will eventually find each other. We, those who don't create graphics, benefit from your experiments and explorations in this area... I remember when I first saw them in others' journals, I figured the journalers must be subscribing to some graphics website where they pay for them... I was so surprised when one of you said I could just have it... just copy it and it's mine. I had been going around the internet finding things I liked that other people had snagged, and I'd be emailing them asking for permission to use their graphic... little did I know. Truly, these past two years have been filled with discovering new areas related to keeping a public journal. It all appeals to my need to illustrate what I write, if not in self-drawn pictures, then in photographs. You should see my paper journals, all of them illustrated with calligraphy, drawings, photographs I've taken, pictures I've cut out of magazines... I called it visual journaling. Perhaps some day I will be able to create my own graphics... I wouldn't be surprised. What keeps me from doing it is the time factor... am I correct in my understanding that it takes great amounts of time to do graphics with motion like y'all do? I love it!
Bea
I don't always leave comments, but wanted you to know that I DO always LOVE your graphics!! Thank you so much for all of them!!

I am afraid my boot stompin' days are over, altough me and my sister used to go out looking for places to dance, but it got so I would have to spend the rest of the night wondering if I was going to the other side, so that finally slowed me down. Same with sex with rowdy men that used to happen more often than it does now. Paula said she used to line dance two or three times a week before the malls opened and go out dancing at least once a week at night, and she met John at a dance and now he won't dance! Isn't that just like them? Doc could be a wonderful dancer. Same thing there. It's hard to watch it all the time and not do it. Not good for the body either. I don't know I might have to come back and snap that graphic. I can hardly resist As soon as I thnk up an entry to go with it. Gerry
I love your graphics and I think it's great that all the graphic makers help each other out. J-land is very supportive and friendly.
Jenny
