… I got a new job.
Seriously.
It’s just a little, part-time job but I’m delighted by it! I can work from home and put in my hours during the Little Man’s nap times and early mornings (Oh yeah, right…. I’m not good at early mornings. Late nights will be more likely!)
If you remember, started drooling over I ? Faces last spring and was SO interested in learning about the incredible magic that was Photo Editing. So I saved my pennies, downloaded two of the free PhotoShop trials (Elements and CS4), and finally bought PhotoShop CS3 last August.
The learning curve is steep, and I still have a LOT to master, but it’s starting to pay off!
Last month a local photographer approached me about helping her with some editing. And after a few meetings and some (nerve racking) demonstrations on what I can do, she’s hired me to help her out.
I won’t be rich anytime soon… but it should be enough to pay for groceries each month, and maybe a little bit more. And that is exactly what I was hoping for!
So a BIG THANKS to Amy and Angie and all the terrific instructors at I ? Faces. You’ve made a big difference in my little world!

I hope to enter a new venture myself. Next year this time I would like to be photographing newborns for a business and also photographing stillborns as a ministry. I lost a baby and her pictures were not what they could have been. I want to volunteer to take stillborn pictures so the grieving parents have more to remember.
Anyway, congratulations!!
