But, What Do You WANT To Do?????

No picture today. I have just downloaded 55 from my niece's camera from the Colorado trip---we're going to put scrapbooks together about our trip. And, I didn't want to look at one more picture right now!!!


Which brings me to the title of this post. I am going to have a major decision to make in a couple of weeks that will change the course of my life (in a good way), and which will take me to an entirely different daily routine. Or, if the decision is made the other way---things will stay as they are now. I'm hoping for the change. I don't want to post about it, cause I don't want to jinx it!!! Suffice to say, when the time comes, I'll let you in on the "Big Change"!!!


There's still one more thing I want to do this fall---I want to learn how to process digital pictures with a Photoshop program and learn how to change the backgrounds---do Warhol type prints. I just don't know which way to go. I don't know what program I need to look into, which class I need to take, I don't know anything!!!


I bought some notecards while on vacation and the subject was gerbera daisies---my new favorite flower! Anyway, the photographer had put the daisy images on a solid black background. They are simply beautiful! And this is what I want to do. If any of you have any hints, suggestions, ideas, please let me know. I feel so camera stupid!!!


So, tomorrow is my last Friday off for this summer. I'm going to finish painting my back bedroom. I have only had the supplies for this for the past 2 YEARS!!!!! Trust me, I'm NOT that lazy---I've just had alot, ALOT of interruptions---and work!!! I have already done the buttercup yellow base coat and marked off the stripes; tomorrow I'll paint the stripes--they are just a shade darker that the base coat. I wanted something very subtle. The new curtains are a black & beige stripe, the bed cover is black & off white toile, and I'm going to use alot of black accessories. I can't wait to finish. And if I'm pleased, I'll share pictures!!! Wish me luck!


I'm off now to put up the tape for the striping. Have a good evening and I'll visit later!
