I never thought I would need to know how to do it, but in case I ever need to again.

Well, the auctions ended up better than I hoped, but we still didn't make back all the money that we had spent on the dragon ball dvds that I had bought since June. We made about 60% back. At least they will be out of the house (once they are all paid for) and then I can get the complete sets, rather than having to piecemeal things out ( Read more... )

LJ seems to have gone crazy right now and has randomly changed my default user icon (a.k.a. "beauty fair" / "fair maiden") from a Hikaru one to something that I don't recognize. I'll have to get it fixed after I have access to my computer again.

missy42, kirin76 and eggdrpsoup let me know what you think of this? It's friends locked so only you guys can see it, but I thought you might miss it if you weren't logged in.

So I just finished making icons for this week's contest at dreamoftomarrow and I have to say it felt kind of good to be back at making them. In some ways I missed making icons while druidmage was home, but I know I needed the break as well ( Read more... )

I was inspired today! Yay! Normally I wouldn't do alternate versions for themes previously made, but I found a brush pack I had downloaded on my computer and I loved them all. I thought about not using the "repeats" when I noticed them, but I don't remember fantasy100 stating all alternate versions of an icon have to be posted at the same time. If they do ( Read more... )

I realize I am running out of time for my TLU Challenge for fantasy100. I currently have another 6 icons or so to add to the 22 completed so far, bringing me to 28.

I was recently introduced to fantasy100 by one of my co-moderators at dreamoftomarrow. I decided I was insane and signed up for a TLU100 challenge.

I've mentioned I was a packrat before and here's even more proof. I was going through some stuff in my son's closet and I found horse calendar from 2001. The pictures were so nice that I decided to make icons from them. Some of these icons aren't square due to the fact that the original picture wasn't squared for the calendar. Hope you like them ( Read more... )
