DigiScrap and Other Crap

Since I have figured out my Adobe program, I have made 10 layouts! I'm pretty proud of myself. I wish that I could say that I have made more but the truth is my computer is on the slow side lately. The problems I am experiencing doesn't have to do with me learning what Adobe has to offer but its about the obvious computer upgrades needed, the file clearing and the break downs in secutiry. I have come to the conclusion that what I need in order to be a sucess (even if is only in my mind) is the power that a new computer has to offer! Yesterday and today I have been doing some serious research and deciding what is best for my needs concerning my talents as a creative designer. I simply can't wait to finally make the decision and hit the buy now button.



I have been talking to a few people about the way businesses are being operated. I am concerned with the state of the economy just as much as the next person. I utterly believe that the only way "we" can survive whatever it is we're going through (recession/depression/obsession) is to band together locally/demographically and support our local resources. I live in one of the best places to live. That is no joke! Forbes listed Spokane as #9 (http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/1/bestplaces08_Spokane-WA_2542.html http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/fsb/0803/gallery.best_places_to_launch.fsb/77.html) as well as many other major news & magazine sources. We have everything to help us sustain our lives that we could ever want or need. An amazing agricultural region, plenty of water, four seasons (it feels more like 3 seasons lately but who cares too much), some of the most resourceful people around and the best scenery money can buy. Hmm? Maybe that is why the slogan for Spokane is Near Nature Near Perfect! There is NO reason why we can't make a great life here. Gosh! It sounds like I am trying to convience myself. LOL!



I hope to one day open my own business to help sustain the local economy, but don't plan on it being something ordinary. I have great ideas and I can't wait to put them to good use.
