Update on DigiScrapping & Vegan

I purchased Photoshop yesterday and most of the afternoon I played on it trying to figure out how to do things with photos and create a scrapbook page layout. So, first of all, I love the tutorials on The Shabby Shoppe website! They were very helpful when I was trying to figure it out. Now I still don't know how to do everything but I've created 5 scrapbook pages on our paris trip!!! Woohoo! I love The Shabby Shoppe and the same person has another site that has some free digital scrapbooking products which is all I've used so far. I figure I'll wait to spend money until I've gotten a little better at it. I found Photoshop at Wal-mart for the cheapest price but still, that cost me a little bit. Jason is glad that we finally have something to do with all of our photos, if I can do a couple pages a week then I'll be caught up, ok, well at least get a lot done, quickly!!! I'm currently trying to figure out how I can post an image of one of my pages on my blog, when I do...I'll post one!

Onto the veganism...it's still going well - yeah! This week we'll be trying some soy hot dogs and I found a recipe to make chicken nuggets using tofu - not sure how that will be but Jason is willing to try it! I don't plan on making too many "fake" alternates b/c I don't really think that doing that is THAT healthy, but one every so often isn't bad. :) A controller at my company switched to vegan last August and suggested some other books to read for more information and also to reinforce the reasons why I switched. I ordered a couple on Amazon and waiting for them to come in.

Scrapbooking

So I've always been jealous of those that scrapbook for a hobby. Usually the scrapbooks are so creative and cute! I, on the other hand, am notorious for taking pictures (when I remember) and just saving them on the computer. I rarely print them and never seem to have them available to post on blogs or facebook.

Given this...I am going to try to become a digital scrapbooker! I have a website (thanks Whitney!) that sells all the things you need and for a relatively cheap price too. I need to purchase Photoshop and so far the cheapest place I can find is to buy it on Amazon. I don't know how to use the program so I'll have to learn that too - if you have any advice, PLEASE let me know!!! I'm hoping to get the software and get started by the end of January. I'll keep you updated on how I'm doing.

I was looking through photos on my laptop, all are very old and came across a couple of funny ones of Sadie. :)

Happy New Year!

Wow, first off, let me just say I have no idea where 2008 went! I feel like it flew by so quickly. We celebrated the end of the year by going to a friend's house for a small get together. We stayed until midnight but left pretty quickly after that, I was very tired. :) New Year's Day we had mine and Jason's family over for lunch. It's become somewhat of a tradition and something I think we'll keep doing. This year we had soups, cornbread, black eye-d peas of course and dessert! It was fun to visit with everyone without the craziness of Christmas! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures!
There's not much else going on but I'm trying to keep to my resolution of blogging more often, so far, not too bad! I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, going back to work after being off for 11 days - yikes!
Hope everyone had a great 2008 and that 2009 is even better!
