working on the weekend

January 3, 2009

I am have a new hobby, Twitter backgrounds. I started by making one for myself and had so much fun I offered free ones on Christmas. I love PhotoShop. This gives me pseudo-legitimate reason to spend hours goofing around with images and pretty colors.

Adrienne is hosting a giveaway-a-day this month. Go check her out. My Twitter backgrounds project was the first giveaway she offered. It’s the first time I’ve been a vendor for a giveaway. It was exciting. Hello new subscribers! Please don’t bail because you didn’t win. There will be more opportunities!

Do you think $20 is a reasonable price for something like this one I made for Ann? I am still in the development stages. No hurry. I am beginning winter quarter this week and have a crazy course load. I have a Dreamweaver/CSS course and an accounting course plus a few little office classes. I am looking forward to the CSS class, but the accounting class scares me spitless.

Plus, Mike is leaving on Monday for a month.

AND, I was just promoted to Chief Managing Editor at Type-A Mom. Wheee! I am thrilled that Kelby thinks I am compentent. I have been empowered. I thought I liked be a writer best, but it’s editing and html that intrigues me.  It is inspriring to find something that interests me and I ma good at. I still have a ton to learn and I am looking forward to it.

P.S. We’re hiring editors.

Time to get back to PhotoShop. I have 36 hours to work with another adult in the house. I am capitalizing on it.
