*Shrug* It Goes.

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 6, 2008, 8:29 AM
Things for the last at least week (but in reality at least a few months) have been pretty strange and fairly high stress. I am sure that it is temporary, but I am not sure how to find resolutions for all of the issues that are going on. My family is driving me crazy, particularly my mothers' side. I am so very tired of the drama. These people are adults. What happened to adults being able to control themselves?
*Sigh*

Four of my friends were in car accidents over a span of three days last week. Everyone is now fine as far as I know, but that really worried me and had me in a funk. I am working on getting out of it.

Just can't believe how strange people get around a wedding. I would have no stress if not for trying to contend with other people's expectations (I am really bad at saying no to someone, or actually insisting on getting my way about something that is important to me if people around me don't value it. I am working on it). Thankfully I have a good partner and good friends who are doing their best to help me with all of this nonsense. You guys are amazing.

:heart: :heart: :heart:

Looking forward to some time off around the wedding. Will be nice to get some down time...

We only got to play for a few hours, and it turns out he hates grey, so I have some correcting to do... Not a lot, but it is an interesting puzzle to resolve...

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it. I am not too technically inclined, so I always ask questions. :)

Well, really I just scanned and resized it. It might have to do with the fact that my piece is only about 8 X 11, but now that I look back, your current scan is 9 X 11 so that's not it at this point. It could be that the dots are black on a white surface, so they stand out well even when I resize it. You may try different settings on the scanner. When you finish it, you could link another picture to it showing the details in certain areas. Other than that, I don't know what else you can do.

Absolutely! I am not sure when it will be done (Ideally before June, as it has already been purchased and I have bookmarked the funds to buy my wedding dress... :) ), but I will definately let you know... How did you get such a clear picture of your croc to post? My octopus is a scan, but I still don't feel it relates all of the detail that is in the piece...

Thank you for the :+fav: and comment. :)

I really like how that octopus is turning out. Note me when it's finished. :)

No problem honey, I'm likely not going to be coming into town for a while, email me your addy and I'll send it via post.

I came back to look at it a few times, trying to decide... I love the concept, but it makes me think too much. :)
