If I don't say so myself...

WHO WILL? Patting myself on the back time. I've been scanning pages for the third Magic Trixie book- Magic trixie and the Dragon...and--I have to say, I think it's the best one yet. Don't mean to toot me own horn here, but, it is making me smile big time.
Making my arm scream 24/7...but the rest of me is really proud.
You like?How about this one?Scanning and saving in several sizes and formats is a pain in the butt...and I suppose that is why interns have been invented, but, how can they know where I want to adjust the levels and stuff!
Wait til you see all the dragons and the wizards and Wyatt! And Mc Gumm's Weirdtastic Wagons... And the best part is everything has a back story! My brain is bursting with stuff that will not even be in this volume. But I know the what and where and why of it. I wish my skull had a USB port so I could upload the images directly. ( Which I am sure someone somewhere in a secret government lab is actually working on...or in a comicbook secret government lab...along with the contact lens camera or video recording glasses)
And- Magic Trixie has a blog, too...she's working on it in her spare time.

Very Goodly

I'm always inspired by the HULASEVENTY blog and I'm officially signing on for Andrea's color week challenge. She's so ding dangety good at projects and photographing..her world seems especially vibrant and filled with groovy fun found objects or murals and everything cool. It seems like a nice extra thing to add to my daily life.
So, the premise is- each day (mon-fri) is assigned a color and the objective you set out for yourself is to actively photograph that color. Preferably in interesting ways.
green-Monday
yellow-Tuesday
orange-Wednesday
red/pink-Thursday
blue-Friday
It's a great reason to observe the world around you more closely and celebrate the little things you come across each day. And a good reason to move about a bit. We all could use that.
But, the question is, should I jump in with both feet mid week? Or wait til Monday? eh- maybe both. I'm more of an 'and' type than an 'or'...
