Six Days Solid Nerd-Work Finally DONE! :-)

I have been having a blast! I have been creating blogs for myself, and the last few days, searching the internet for free templates to make them pretty. It's ALL about the pretty! Seeing i'm not painting, this has been a wonderful creative outlet for me! Found some fabulous ones for my other blogs, but this one... this particular blog (Amber's Filawsuffy), i'm going to change the template for every post i make! I have a good 200 or so that i like & have saved. Plus i found a couple that i think my friend 'Ladybug' will like. Oh, i'm sure she'll like ALL of them, but the ladybug one i found (pictured here) is a good start!

And what did that entail? Well nothing too technical (unless you're computer illiterate) but... Hours & hours & HOURS of searching of course. Hours more of applying them to my blog to see how they'd look. Discarding the ones i didn't like, and keeping the ones i did. If i liked one, i would save a screen shot of it, crop the superfluous screen junk out of it, save it to my computer then save it to a facebook album. Then i would copy the link to the template in the album, so i can look at all of these templates pictured on on my own blog, and have the code on hand to change it at a whim. Hours & hours... days & DAYS i say!! And i would stay up until 3 am too boot! Hehe.

Now that is what i'm like when i'm obsessed with a project! I was like that with cross-stitch OH those many moons ago too. Dinner? Go make it yourself! I'm stitching another Sampler! Laundry? Oh, when the pile gets so high you can't get out of your room... THEN i'll think about doing it!

And this time, it was fun but... i'm glad it's over! I'm tired! :-)

I shudder to think what i'll be like if i get to painting again! Actually it would be wonderful and fun. For me at least... not for anyone else! They'd never see me!


Ah well.... The trials of living with an obsessed artist!
