About Me

My photo
I am a former IT professional that retired early to take on possibly the most terrifying, frustrating, amazingly rewarding job ever... being a Mom. My three unrepentant heathens keep me very busy and regularly force me to sharpen the wet noodle of my imagination in order to keep one shaky step ahead of them. In a given day I may be required to be the nemesis of Iron Man, a monster, a racetrack for assorted half-transformed transformers or the soundtrack to an epic battle between green army men and a penguin. It's nearly enough to drive you sane.

Dirty Bleeding Love

Been playing a lot more with layering textures and gradients to really achieve the looks I'm going for, tonight's result was interesting.. I give you, Dirty Bleeding Love!


Make clickies for full size and as always, free for personal use.. Commercial use without my authorization will result in an unfortunate livestock incident. Srsly.






Brushgasms are fun

I recently spent about 3 days happily snuggled up to my laptop joygasming all over a ton of awesome new PS brushes, textures, shapes and more. Many of these came from new sites of niftyness and yes, I will be linking back to them so that all may find their own happy place, then give it PARKLES!!!!!

Masochistic Tendencies Revealed

Sooooo yeah, I finally sat my arse down and put together an actual website for all this nonsense. I don't know what I was thinking.. maybe the heat melted my brain. As my forte is making stuff pretty and not so much the coding side of things, I first went template hunting.


I admit I did not begin my search with much hope of finding something workable that wasn't plastered with adds, linkbacks, etc to such a degree that any addition on my part would be minimal at best. Imagine my shock when I found the perfect template! For Free even!! Much kudos to the folks over at Metamorphosis Design Studio for their amazing templates.


And then, when I thought my luck may have been used up for the night, I found an awesome little program for creating, editing and publishing rather sharp looking picture galleries to any website you could ever desire with the bare minimum of input. Best part of all.. it's Free! Thanks so much to the great folks at Visual Lightbox for making life that little bit easier.


And so, after a bit of tweaking and poking, the site is live, the blog is integrated, and I am done.. for now...
