Is it March Again?

Is it because I’m old that time seems to be moving along way too fast? Or is it that way for everyone? It seems like only moments ago that I was writing about March 2008!

My birthday was in February and hubby’s is in March so we combined our Christmas, 43rd anniversary and birthday presents and invested in Adobe CS4 (the suite). The books that we got for all the programs included weighed 43 pounds! We have only begun to read!

We also are celebrating the arrival of a new addition to our family, another little Shih Tzu rescue doggie, Tippy. She is adorable and we have spoiled her already.

I have a variety of projects for you to do this month. In honor of Saint Paddy’s Day, some projects from Erin Go Bragh by Peggy Jo Ackley.

Project 1: Creating a Monkey from Simple Shapes
  1. Follow the graphic chart to create your monkey.
  2. Use your imagination to make some subtle changes.
  3. If you have a program with a plug-in to create fur, such as Alienskin Textures, add some fur.
  4. Create a border for your page.

There you are; some simple things to do to enliven your pages, customize your cards and have fun.

Your assignment, should you decide to accept it:
Go have a great day and bless others along the way!
