~ This and That ~
A couple more shots from yesterday. I even 'tubed' one of the flowers to use an accent on the first one. What is tube you ask? It's when you remove backgrounds, or portions of a picture to give you a transparent background so you can lay it on top of another graphic.... or not. I got so many pictures I sit and look, scratching my head wondering what next? :)
Today is/was a pretty good day. I had to go out this morning to get my haircut. Just a trim mind you. I thought I'd go looking for more pictures after but I left with a headache. I think it was mixed smells of perm solution and dye. Or.. maybe it was because I was hungry. I came home instead. Ate a bite and went and laid down. I hated to do it on such a nice day, but I feared if I didn't it would blow into a migraine. Now I'm in the midst of laundry. GRRRRRRRR the whole day is out of whack! Oh well, tomorrow is another day. So far the forecast has been right........................
I had two interesting things happen today. This is not a rant, nor am I upset or angry. Actually both made me laugh. First, some of you might already know that I was Guest Editor this week. It's an awesome honor and a wonderful way to spotlight journals. Our community. A way to bring us together and show us different sides of JLand. Well, I'm not sure if I pissed folks off 'cuz I didn't pick them, or if this is just another tactic of my infamous troll who has been striking sporadically lately. I'm thinking it's the later. Or at least I would hope so. 'I don't know any of the journals you picked. Surely you could do a better job!' Well, duh! Did you read my entry????? I'd have loved to pick 100's of journals. So many are worthy, but you can't. You give exposure to what might be 'new' to others. Anyone could pick the top journals, the most read, but then what does that do? I made an effort to try and share some journals I read or check out that didn't fall on the most commented page every day/week. I didn't even succeed there as many comments say they already view those journals. LOL Go get a life of your own and stop following mine, will ya?
What else? Well I was contacted by two license guilds recently. Apparently every graphic I've done over the course of the past few weeks was reported. Both guilds told me they actually find the reports humorous. As you know I am pretty damn careful these days and I do display my license information on tags, and after several visits to my journal over the past several months they now come to look at my work, not for violations. Both complimented me on my work and offered some wonderful comments about my photography. They let me know they have record of what I purchase etc, and it is evident someone is just 'out to get me'. Tooo freaking funny! Well, actually it's not as not only is this person attempting to discredit me they are wasting valuable time for others. What a sad life!
Off to switch loads and get some of the requests out. I do hope everyone had/is having a wonderful Saturday!
Hugs

Yet another great photo D........... and i love the sayings that are added to the tags.
Sorry i didnt know about the editor thing...... maybe because i dont have a journal myself.
LOL @ the reports...... sorry but i had to laugh and its true these people must lead such boring lives that they have to trawl through other peoples journals and grass one them in the hope that maybe for every 10 complaints they manage to file maybe something will be done about 1............ sad, sad, sad. I admire you for your upbeat attitude towards it though. At the end of the day they are not worth the stress they are attempting to cause.
Have a great day, hugs Jayne -
hi donna, sorry i missed your guest editor picks, had to filter some of my alerts as i had so many to catch up on! i will go back and take a look! I understand your reasoning for your choices, if the same journals were highlighted every week then the smaller less read ones would be missed and there are some good ones out there! As for your licencing, I know how hard it is to be an artist and worry over copyrights etc, i think you take it more seriously than most and you should be commended for it. Keep up the good work, it's brilliant! take care mrs t xx

Hi Donna,
Seems this troll just has a secret crush on you, huh? Gosh, I can't imagine having nothing to do but stir trouble at so many different places. If you know this person, send them here to deal with all the junk going on here. That'll keep 'em busy, by golly.
Blessings,

I must have missed that entry...I am going to go back & see which journals you picked. When someone else recommends one I usually check them out..most times you end up with a new aquaintance.
Ugh on the troll - trouble starter is all that is.
Love what you did with your pictures. Very nice. The purple flower looks like the one I have on my arm (tat)!!!
Hope you had a great today.
