Frigging Pinterest still refuses to accept my pics, so I'll upload it to the LJ scrapbook and hope not to run out of space before I can get some help with Pinterest and with acquiring paid LJ time ( Read more... )

The second round of the Big Painting Job (TM) is supposed to start tomorrow, and it promises to be a lot worse than round one. I might be reduced to the use of my iPad for the next couple of days, and even then, I'll likely to be found over at picowrimo.
