I have finally dicovered how to create blinkies (animations), after much searching and cursing photoshop for being too smart for me. Anyhow, check out the ones I made to the right -------------> and also at the bottom of my page. Now that I understand how they're done they're very easy to do. If anyone of my blogger friends would like one, just let me know and I'll make it to your specifications. :)
Peace out!
Hello, my name is Christy and I am addicted to scrapbooking. (Blush)
Forgive me folks for the background confusion. I have recently discovered the art of creating and making my own blogger backgrounds. Weeeeeeee! HTML sucks, but I have figured it out with the 2 and 3 column backgrounds (which was hard to find) and am having a grand ole time making my own for a change!!!! If you want one, just ask. Now that I know how, it takes only a few creative minutes of my time. :) Thanks to http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/blog-secrets for the great tips & tricks. I want to credit www.afterfivedesigns.com for the beautiful papers and elements I am using to make these backgrounds. I will post a link on my blog for them. Their designs are awesome and creative. I did pay for them, because they're worth the small amount of money, but once you buy them you can design anything and make it your own forever and ever. :)
This digital scrapbooking is as easy as pie, well, once you learn how. You can dowload freebies (I have links) all over the internet, save them to your computer, open any image editing software program (I use photoshop cs4) and go to town, arranging, mixing and editing your elements to create your own unique scrapbook pages or backgrounds.
So, again, forgive me if everytime you visit you think you've been misdirected. I'm just playing around, since I'm skipping class and all. He he.
I've been digital scrapbooking for a while now. It's another one of my hobbies that is all consuming. Come to think of it....I have too many all consuming hobbies...reading, photography, scrapbooking, television....hmm. I think I should quit working altogether so I have time to pursue all my interests full on. What do you think? Professional hobby woman? If only.
Back to my point...it's really a HUGE interest of mine and I've been learning to create my own pages etc so I can design and possibly sell my own kits. Yes, it's a big, COLOSSAL undertaking, but something I'm commited to. It may take forever though because I have discovered that I may have ADHD. I will start something and switch gears and go back. I have trouble focusing. I'm creatively overwhelmed. Hmmf! Anyhow, the website is in the works and I'm going to great pains to perfect it. It's annoying. I hate being a perfectionist. :/
Check out this awesome place to completely customize your webpage or blog at www.squarespace.com ....it's really cool and allows your creativity to flow.
So, I've been up late working on this blog. How ya like it? I may change it again...it's cute, but I have OCD and I will fiddle with it until I'm sick of it, then I won't mess with it for another year. Oh & guess what else? HTML is the devil.
I'm trying to get in the habit of the late nights since I'll be starting that schedule very soon. Oy! I figured...new year, new blog. I'm going to do major construction on a lot of things in my life this year. I'm not making resolutions, I'm just changing things. Resolutions are made to be broken and I don't make any promises I can't keep.
I showed my 13 year old my blog and his eyes got really big around. It's just a pin-up girl, it's nothing scandalous! 13 year olds & their hormones...good heavens. I hope everyone had a good new year celebration. I must say, mine was rather boring and uneventful. Maybe that's a precursor for what's to come in the new year, which is fine with me because I'll take boring and unevenful over crazy and dramarific any old day. I'm definately getting older. I'd much rather stay in than go out these days, unless it's for food or to spend money. Food and shopping are my favorite reasons to leave the house. What can I say, I'm boring & predictable.
I had to change my blog title...as I'm no longer a student. (WEIRD!) I kind of miss school, or the perks of it anyway. At school you paid them and not the other way around. Now I have to show up on time, be prepared and do my very best all the time....damn! Not that I was ever late (twice), but knowing that if you are late you will pay a price is much worse than knowing you can be late with no real ramifications. As i've said before...being responsible is sucky. I had my first day on the job on Monday where all I did was watch the unit clerk do her job. Literally...I watched and did nothing except get in her way at every possible moment. It was the easiest money I've ever made. Because I hadn't recieved my provisional license at the time of scheduling, I had to start as a unit clerk, no biggie... I have my provisional now, so I'm an RNA (registered nurse applicant). I actually have a big fancy title, but I'll be glad when that big ole A falls off the end!
So, about my first day. First of all, let me say that I found myself to be a little jealous of the unit clerk. She doesn't have her arms elbow deep in feces, she wasn't dealing with the cranky doctors, and I didn't see her running around like a chicken with her head cut off like the NURSES were. Nope, she just sat at her desk, made copies, answered phones, call bells & charted new orders....cushy. She did make sure to tell me that she would NEVER want to be a nurse because (and I quote) "their job sucks ass". Ahhh..the words every new grad wants to hear. It was like music to my pointy, green, virginess ears. BUT I did hear that it is a great floor to work on and that the night shift has the best group of people. That's kinda hopeful, right? Everone welcomed me and most of them were very friendly. I am excited and I don't care what anyone says...I think it's all about ATTITUDE and some people just have crappy ones which brings me to the question I've been dying to ask...why are some people assholes? Can't they just smile...it takes little effort and believe me when I say that your face looks helluh ugly with it all puckered and sour like that. Anyway....I will be a good nurse no matter WHO or WHAT is against me. Not that anyone is...yet...but there is always one person who likes to start trouble and from what I've heard (goodness...already??!!) there are a few that like to intimidate new grads. Don't be put off by my friendly demeanor. Beneath my sweet smile lurks a woman who isn't in the mood for your stinkin' crap! Wow...I let it all hang out there huh? Oops!
Besides all of that (he he) I am excited about starting my new job. I will find out tomorrow a little more about my schedule and I can't wait to write all about how it's going.
Till next time...
Peace & Much Love,
Christy
Please be patient as I update my blog. For purposes of boredom this blog's appearance may change at any given time. Do not fear, it will be finished soon. Thank you and have a good day.
