Hey all it's me again.
Oi there's nothing worse than realizing you've been doing something wrong for a good long while. I joined +Pinterest a while back. Looks like till last night I have been doing it wrong because I only have 3 pins. Note to self create a board first. OI!!! No since crying over spilt milk but it is a bit discouraging. Here I thought I was posting my shop items on there. Live and learn right? Here's hoping I have it sussed this time.
I have also been playing alittle bit with shop background colors on +Zazzle. Suggestions and comments most welcome. http://www.zazzle.com/arwensgraphicdesigns
Let me know what you think. Newest design image is skull rose. Can even be found on a postage stamp :)
Everything should now be in folders now. Tho not sure how I am going to do things after Valentines. Mixed up mugs between home and office. One of those things that I thought could go into both sections. Added the skull rose to +CafePress as well.
It is in the auto section of the shop at http://www.cafepress.com/arwensgraphicdesigns1
as well as at the marketplace at
http://www.cafepress.com/sk/arwensgraphicdesigns I know the shop is more work and not as recognized as the marketplace but I do like it better. The marketplace has 1 image that they put on all things. The shop I personally go in and change the sizes of things till they look good or they get pulled. If you see anything on the marketplace you would like to see fit better just give me a holler and I will do my best to do that for you. That's all for now. Things to do.

New Look
Hey all
Trying a new look. We shall see how long I keep this one :D Been trying to look into online ways to store my pictures, images, and music. Looks like the only way is to pay for it. Skydrive threw hotmail at least makes it 25 GB for a year. Some of those sites wanted that for a month and less than 25 GB. Was just trying to find a way to do this backing up without a million dvds kicking about. Not as easy as I thought. Anyways it sounds like I have to wait till I can get some money to do it. I have a bunch of shop images and my music for +RadioFreeWales. I figure one day we might start that up again. The ever popular dollar is what stops us. In so many things.
I got a great pic from our friend Pete off of facebook.
A skull rose image. I cut it out and did a tiny bit of tinkering to it. Its pretty cool. Up on both +Zazzle and +CafePress. Off to doing other things. Post again when I can.

Hello everyone out in blogger land. It has been a few days since the last time I was on here. Not alot has happened around here. Life goes on as they say. Was told about this site --
www.wordle.net.
It has its possibilities. Can take a bunch of words and make a word picture out of it. Only way to save them is with a screen shot tho. Been spending my time trying to get some of this data on my computer saved. Been uploading alot of my pictures to skydrive online. Its connected to my hotmail account.
Went to my first Mardi Gras in Fl this weekend. It was ok. Not a huge party type person. To much drinking and no money to do much. Parade was ok. Got a few beads from it. Alot of grabby hands. Some of the throwers threw them a bit hard. Smarts a bit
when getting smacked upside the head with them.
Doing my best to post the sales i find on facebook and twitter for the shops at +zazzle.com and +cafepress.com. Please don't forget to check out Arwens Graphic Designs at both links. Any suggestions or request just give me a holler on here or on those sites.
Think this is a good ramble for a min. Has things to do. Take care out there in blogger land. Till next time

The news of the moment
Hey all out in blogger and net land. I know its been a few days. Life in general has a way of getting in the way of things sometimes. If yall know what i mean. The usual shop stuff going on. Added some great Valentines things to both. Made a sale tonight :)
http://www.cafepress.com/+butterfly_garden_shower_curtain,726666352
Thank you who ever you are. It's a proud moment when a sale is made. Means alot to me. It's an awsome feeling knowing someone likes 1 of your designs.
Been doing alittle reading at night. Hoping to get a tiny bit of reading done before bed actually. Got this book from the library that I hope I get to finish this time. I read part of it in a collection of stories. The kind that get you hooked and interested. I'd finally gotten to interlibrary loan it and I ended up moving.
So now that I'm here in Florida I figured wth lets look for it. Well when I finally remembered who wrote it. The book is called Narcissus In Chains by +Laurell K. Hamilton. +Anita Blake vampire hunter. Got me hooked she did. It's an adult book tho. Has some sexie moments that aren't pg. Good thing I'm an adult hehe. It was one of those I knew i'd know it if i saw it. It just took searching out the library to do it :) And then I didn't look up so I ended up harrasing a librian to find the book i wanted. Hehe what can I say.
Doctor Who has been on the +bbc radio 4 extra for the past 2 weeks on their sci fi hour. All new ones this week at least. Not sure about last week. Tonights was really good. The poor doctor got blown up. The guy on the radio said looks like a short episode tomorrow night. I know it looked bad for the good doctor but theres no way hes dead to friendly fire no less. Tomorrow nights show should be really good.
Nos Da time.
Enjoy till next I rambles away.

Today
Today is like any other. With troubles and without.
Mike said hes mailed me a card today :) Some good.
I put the BBC on early so I can hear the last Dr Who.
Think I've decided no more myspace. None of the things I try to upload with HTML do NOT work. Gets a bit frustrating. I've facebooked,twittered, and now blogged today.
Last night I had gimp issues. For some reason no matter what I did it wouldn't work. The eraser refused to erase down to transparency. It erased the color. Oi. But nothing else. The weird thing is I tried today and it worked. Go figure.
Birds are driving us nuttsa. Non stop, LOUD, tweet tweet tweet. Free birds anyone? Keep threating to toss the 4 legged hairy monsters in the cage.
Aka the cats :D
This is weird. Not sure what I'm listening to on the BBC but its crazy. Kinda funny, but crazy. Oh it's "Elephants to Catch Eels."
Dr Who starts with the return of an old enemy.
Lets see what we hear. It's a BBC radio 4 program.
Sounds like a couple is on holiday on Mars and gets into trouble. Was a start of a Ice warrior story. Now the couple found some frozen ice warriors.. They're in TTTRRROOOUUBBBLLLEE.
Yuppers was real ice warriors. Wonder how the good Doctor comes into it. Ahh the Tardis took em there.
Without the good Dr knowing it. Oh its good the tourists didn't get dead.. They somehow got to be prisoners. There was a Marchon teraforming project but it got canceled. The good Dr likes the atmospheric reionizer for some reason tho.. I think thats what woke the giant ice warrior turtles up. Oh look at that harold the prisonor thinks he can send out some kinda message threw his hearing aid. Who Knew :D
Oops busted. The good Dr is getting questioned by the tour guide. OH its all based on the tour guides archilogical research. EEek security is being called.
Oh Harold got his MSG out. Ut oh he got busted.
Don't say that Harold they'll kill you and the wife. Silly Harold you should know betterer. Ouch that sounded painful. AAwww that poor man got killed. Poor Harold has guilt for that one now. Oh theres a hidden chamber. There you go the good Dr is doing a scan of the shuttle. And they show that they weren't human.
The good Dr wants to try to talk to the Ice Warriors. Wonder if he can get ahold of them. Rofl.. He just told them they were about to be invaded by martians. Hey I think I spelt that right. Oh dear Harold and the others are over heating. The ice warriors weren't happy about that.. Historic moment what a dork.. He wants the bad guys to visit o.O
The Ice Warriors want on the moon base or captives will die. Hey this chick sounds like Jane Way from star trek :D Oh ang on I hear swagbux has a free offer.
OOH NOOO they took Harold for execution. Sounds like the good Dr has taken a moon buggie to the shuttle. Who knew.. Oh dear there goes Harold I think. Hey no torchering Harold.. He didn't do nothing. The good Dr made it to the Ice Warriors.
Zaporized or zaporized what options.. Who knew..
Go chickie companion and help the good Dr. Your kidding me .. the password was password. Hey the professor isn't supposed to have a weapon.. that isn't right he used it on townsend.. Yea I know I probably spelled it wrong.. O.O eeek.. not sure who they killed.. It cant be the good Dr..
30 mins to go. What will happen. Harolds still alive but bleeding. Everyone on the shuttle is roasting to death.. One of the ice warriors have been hurt tho.
That lousy traitor turned Townsend in ... Oi .. Margaret thinks they won't make it. Woot the Dr has survived. Knew he couldn't be dead woot. Townsend is under lockdown. And Janeway sound alike wants to know all about the ice warriors.. The security leader wanted to know why the professor would want to disable the thingie they were using for a weapon.. I say its cause he wants to protect the last of the ice warriors.. Hell sounds like hes an ice warrior want to be.
Oh dear it sounds like the security team as perished and now they are trying to evacuate. Go get em Dr.
Ice warrior doesn't understand why the Dr didn't kill him. Oh the professor is up to no good.. Not sure what just sounds like he is. The good Dr depressurized the area and the ice warrors are having trouble breathing.. They want their world back and don't care if they kill to do it.. Well dang the Dr said that theres a few more of them in the asteroid belt and when they wake they leave and create a new home world.
Yup that professor is nuttsa. Hes shot the security chief. And lowered the temperature. All to study the live versions.. What a dork. The icy ones will deff kill him. The Twit.. Damn it.. Lost Net :(
Missing a good story I am... I think i'll have to listen tonight.
Well its a bit later.. The net was down for a bit... And the end of Doctor Who was missed.. Its on again at 6pm my time so hoping all goes well and it can be listened to again. Enquiring minds want to know what happend to the giant ice warrior turtles with attitude :D
Ok I think this is enough of a silly blog for today. I'll try for a more sensible one later on or tomorrow..
Byes for now.

Paint troubles
Back again... Yesterday was a technology hates me day... Paint was being a pita.. Lost a half a days work.. For some reason it saved wonkies.. It might have been the name i gave it.. I tried to give it +varamexia.com title when i saved it. I'm gonna try to add a pic.. Ang on.. it sooo didn't want to go where i wanted it to go... Not so sure but I think I will try to add the images near the end.. Sooo not going to make this more difficult at this point.. It has been a long day. Anyways since it save wonkies and was acting weird I closed out +paint.net. When I reopened it and a previously saved image I retyped in my settings. It went further down hill from there... Was same settings but nothing wanted to line up... So I cut the cord as Mike would say and started over..
The basics were easy enough... And in the end I saved myself alot of frustation. I still don't know why it wouldn't zoom in propperly... I know the image was alittle bigger but still.
Sasha got her +varamexia word done and I after the redo got the phrase done today. For the loves of the game:) Now that it has quieted down some here I can post the links... +Zazzle shop link is
+CafePress link is
Oh wait I think +CafePress has a sale going on.
Let me look it up... *Save 25% off orders of $40 or more on CafePress.com, excluding shipping charges, gift wrap charges, and applicable sales tax. Coupon code BIG25 must be entered at check out. Promotion starts on January 9, 2013, at 12:00 a.m. (PT) and ends on January 9, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. (PT). Offer only applies to orders from the CafePress Marketplace.

http://www.cafepress.com/+arwen's-graphic-designs+gifts?aid=70693437 Please remember that the marketplace is limited by the size of the image i put up. It uses that 1 image on all things.. Whether it looks good or not.. In the shop I'm more selective and make them fit or toss it if it doesn't.
If you see something at the marketplace you would like to fit better feel free to let me know... The varamexia.com one under special interests is an example of a request.. Now in this case we have the game owners permission. I can not do requests like this otherwise... I can do more personal requests that only you can see if interested please feel free to message me.
Wanted to mention before i stop for the night that a dear friend has lost her life shortly after Christmas when her home was invaded by robbers who attacked her and her family. You will be missed and I will always think of you as Aunt Sandy. +Sandra L Price
was there at the beginning of my paint and photo editing experiences. Mike and I did some good work on some personal photos for her.. It's how we started truly working together on photos.. He'd do a bit and send it to me.. I'd do a bit and send it back to him :D
The world haas lost a great lady. May the angels look out for you Sandy<3 font="font">
Now to post those photos...
The first will be a close up of one of the words so that you can see the detail i was trying to line up... When you fill something like that in it misses spots that you have to go in and fill 1 box at a time most times.. Hense the I wish the zoom was working...
The 2nd image will be the finished word art as Mike would say. It along with Sasha's Word art is on the items posted on the links above. Nos Da all and TTFN.
Oops ;) Decided at the last moment to add Sasha's hard work so the 3rd is that one.

Whats New
Okies I'm back again with the wonders of .. of... of...
of being creative I guess ;)
I have with Mikes help used gimp to cut back on a boxy background. Made a good bit of it transparent.
I think it looks alot better now. Managed to get it up in the +CafePress marketplace.
+ http://www.cafepress.com/+la_belle_bleue_tote_bag,766146486 this is the link until +CafePress oks the design.
+Zazzle is better about giving the ok on a product alot faster. +http://www.zazzle.com/la_belle_bleue-235838458236783069 she looks pretty good on a dark background :D
I still have advertising things to look into. But for right now i want to play with +GIMP a bit more. I forgot some of the different things you can do in it. It is how i got the background more transparent. Thanks Mike <3 a="a" aint.net="aint.net" an="an" away="away" does="does" easier="easier" far="far" fault="fault" fix="fix" font="font" for="for" free="free" from="from" gotten="gotten" have="have" i="i" is="is" it.="it." it="it" know="know" my="my" nbsp="nbsp" need.="need." not="not" other="other" pretty="pretty" program="program" s="s" t="t" that.="that." thought="thought" to="to" try="try" use.="use." ve="ve" well="well" what="what" will="will" wise.="wise." wouldn="wouldn">
I have other things to nail down. I still want a +Zazzle gadget on here for my shop. I will get it figured out eventually. TTFN
