Who would have thought that at the age of 30 I would be digitally creating party invitations for my friends when I never ever managed to do ANYTHING on a computer when I was at school?! (I was the kid at the back of the class who couldn't follow the teacher's instructions past 'switch on computer'!). But something must have gone into my brain during those lessons because I spent last night editing a photo & making it into a birthday invitation for one of my friend's sons who is having a joint party with two of his friends. It was fun! Nice to spend time with my friend while I did it too.
So the photo started like this (red eyes & distracting background) & changed to ...........
.....this! No red eyes or funny background just weird faces!!!!!! Then I turned it into an invitation........
....looking like this! I was very pleased with it & so was my friend & everyone who saw it today so that is a good job done!
Anyway, today has been a normal sort of day really. We went to Sticky Fingers this morning (SF is the toddler group that our church runs for the community on 3 mornings & 1 afternoon a week with about 100 different families attending each session). There is a craft/activity time every week & today's activity was planting bulbs. I will let you know how they grow! Did a bit of shopping on the way back in the Co-op. I was served by an extremely friendly African man named Walker. He even packed my bags & asked how I was! I think Timmy & Luke were as amazed as I was to have such good customer treatment because a usually very friendly Timmy sat in his pram silently looking puzzled & Luke talked to the man more than he usually would! Anyway, it was lovely to be served by someone who was so obviously enjoying his job :o)
Well, nothing else to report really. Have a great evening!

This is my 8th attempt to get our dear (cheap) old computer to add a comment about your new Invitation Design business! After three days I've quite forgotten what I was trying to say! Well done was certainly part of it and I seem to recall hinting that there may be a lot of work for you designing CD covers for a new series of recordings in 2007.
Now... let's see if Google will send this to your blog comments page...!
