Hey folks sorry for the lack of updates. Been taking some time to myself with school, true blood fandom and of course work. Taking an image editing class and studing Photoshop cs4. Pretty nifty improvements here on adobes behalf. So far I give cs4 5 cupcakes for faster editing and easier masking options. The program is [...]
This weekend I took my first adventure in candle making and produced a crown shaped stacking candle. Awesome effect for layered non dull candle goodness! You will need: Candle wax Melting bags Wick thread Metal wick end Sewing needle Scent Cookie pan Cookie cutter Vegetable oil Coat your cookie pan with vegetable oil and set aside. Using the bags melt your wax and add scent just [...]
Finally rain has been visiting off and on this week! Nice to see the ditches overflow and the greenery get greener. Not digging the power flashing off and on but hey I’m mainly at work when it does. Here’s my baby boy infront of a ditch that flooded and some storm clouds that rolled in [...]
I’ve given this a week, and marinaded on it, however in the end, I am quite saddened with Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The ending especially. I was prepared to cry and wallow like I did during the book, and instead the funeral is “glossed” over. Although for a younger audience I can [...]

This is a pic tonight, and no growth yet. Added some more water, and happy to see condensation was present on the plastic cover. [...]
So I’ve been catching up on reading and some movies lately. Here’s a brief catch-up and my latest musings: East Is East- Found myself stuck on the IFC channel (I say stuck, because once I turn this channel on, I can’t seem to leave). Absolutely brilliant. Based on a Paki-British family and a mix of old [...]
Every once in awhile I stumble across awesome websites, and this one is no exception. One of my pet peeves is how many examples I see everyday of improper grammar and spelling. Now by all means I am no master in this area myself, but there is always a chance to improve. FreeRice is a non-profit [...]
Instead of searching for female clipart, I googled paper dolls, and came across some wonderful work. Used in my project tonight, is a fairy dress and doll from Liana’s Paper Dolls.

Turns out the $80.00 I was spending in replacement cartridges was a way of encouraging me to finally just buy a whole new printer. Wow, kinda a slick but nasty marketing move. So in celebration of my new printer, I searched [...]
