I know it's been FOREVER since I posted last, but I had to address all of those darn invitations! At first it felt like a little gift of time spent thinking of each of my guests, but that quickly wore off and I mostly felt bored and overwhelmed. Oh, well, they're out and all is good!

I've been checking tons of things off my list lately, but as a lot of them are gifts, I won't share them here. My computer broke down, so that was a BIG deterrent to posting, though that doesn't account for all of it. Anyway, let me show you what I've been working on lately.

My other creation since my computer's return is also a work in progress:


I know, ANOTHER Herky! But, in my defense, I lost everything when my computer crashed, so I had to completely redraw him. I know he's supposed to point the other way, but I had to reverse him to make the words look pretty. I'm still hoping to learn how to distress him; that's currently beyond my adobe skill level.
