Puppy with No Name http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/301780 I got a surprise visit from my sister this week and she brought her brand new puppy. As of right now it has no name, so that is what I called the Persona I made for her. He looks just like the dog we had for a long time and was so very much loved. I still miss him and just can't find it in my heart to get a new "best friend". It just hurts me too much to lose something I love and just can not go through that again. But I can enjoy her puppy and know it has a wonderful home and will be loved by a good family. My sister is a very creative person and her head is full of ideas for "things", too. She has a blog you might be interested in reading. She challenges other creative people and is much better at writing every day than I am. You can check it out at :   http://asafeplacetocreate.blogspot.com/ I have done a lot of designs this past week, many of them fall oriented. I guess it is because of t...

Rays of Beauty http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/299418   As you can see I am not very good at signing in and posting, but I see I have more followers so thank you all.  I hope I don't disappoint you.   This is one of my favorites that I have made lately in Photoshop. I have a desktop wallpaper to match it and have that link posted with the Persona. It is a kind of between summer and fall theme I guess you would call it. If you read my blog last week I was hoping to get a sunset shot of the river. Well, it didn't happen. I was wrong on the month. It was early October of last year when I saw it, so have to wait and hope there is sunshine during that week!  Firefox Personas is getting very popular. There are almost 200,000 designs on line. When I first became a part of Personas group I had an idea in mind of what I hoped it would be. I wanted it to be a place where you could individualize your Firefox with class. I am a bit disappointed with some of the "stuf...

Seasons in Order http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/297292 I am in kind of a funky mood today. This is the first day in ages where I haven't even "tried" to work on a design. Which is ok as I have many ready to submit. The above design is one I submitted today. It is a collage of the 4 different seasons. Wouldn't it be great if the seasons were actually like that? Beautiful and colorful!  We are in the in-between seasons here in the Pacific Northwest. Which is about all the time, actually. Today the sun is supposed to come out, but so far it has kept itself hidden. I found a spot on the river last fall about this time of year where a beautiful sunset picture could be taken, so I am hoping the sun comes out so I can actually get that shot! If I do and if it turns out, you will see it, either as a Persona or desktop wallpaper and if it turns out really good, both. But you can take 100 photos of 1 thing and sometimes, if you are real lucky, you may get one good o...

Dolphin Dance http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/293903 This is the  latest design I have on line. I made a wallpaper that matches it using Photoshop.  Using the layering is a challenge for me. I don't think I am using it correctly, but it seems to work out in the end, although sometimes it takes me twice as long. This is a sad week for me. Eight years ago this week my Mother passed away. I just read my sisters blog and she is feeling it also. Our Mother was someone everyone loved. You didn't meet her and not love her. I wish I were more like her, but I am afraid I have a lot of my Dad's traits. Stubbornness for one. My wanting to create things came from my Mom, though. She was always doing craft work or sewing. Always! Up until the very end she was having me help her put things together. As I was dusting our bedroom today I dusted 3 different things that I helped her make . O ne should be thrown out because it is getting very discolored, but I have a hard time doi...

Trees of Winter                 http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/288542 Today is an absolutely beautiful autumn day, but we all know what comes after the fall. Winter!!  I don't care much for winter as my body doesn't like the cold, but I am submitting some winter Personas because when winter is in full bloom with snow, it is beautiful. I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day week end and enjoy the last summer holiday.
