New Blog Design!

Hello All,
  I've got a new blog header thanks to Jessica Sprague!  Let me tell you how this all came about:

  My regular PC was giving me fits!  Jamie, my hubby, kept fixing her for me until she went "kaput".  So, a few weeks ago he took me to Best Buy and bought me the newest MAC!  Wow, I'm in love with it lol.  I think she does everything but the laundry kwim?  Well, I went to install my printer, an HP Photosmart C6280 ( had it forever ), and it wouldn't install for me.  So I went thru the process of installing updates and drivers and finally got her to work....or so it seemed.  I couldn't get her to scan and the wireless stopped working.
  So, I researched and knew I wanted an Epson Stylus R2000.  I love the idea of being able to print on a 12x12 format!  Plus, I'd been stalking lots of blogs ( Ali Edwards for one ) and it seemed this is the printer EVERYONE was using!  So, off to Office Depot and Best Buy we went.  We searched both stores and only came up with one printer close to the one I wanted. The one we chose was the Epson WF-7510 and she actually does everything that I was looking for in a printer and, she was $200 cheaper.  The added bonus is that I can also print off of my iPhone and iPad!
  So, while we were waiting on the printer to come from the back, Jamie started looking at all the photo software... He knows I've been having issues taking pictures with my P&S camera during low light conditions.  The only pictures I can get to turn out is in the daylight hours and he knows that I've been doing Project Life for my son in his last year of school.  So, he buys me PhotoShop Elements 11.
  PhotoShop Elements 11 is more than I bargained for lol.  Gosh, there is so much to that software!  I thought I could just dig in and figure everything out for myself....wrong.  I googled online classes for this software and found Jessica.  She has free classes to get a beginner started and I am so glad that I found her!  I've learned so much and learned also what I was doing wrong for so long.....1 tip:  Never alter your original photos.  Always make a copy and do your editing to the copy.  When you are done editing, name your photo then add "edited" at the end so you know which photo is the one you made changes to.  Is that not an awesome tip?
  So, today I'm waiting on the UPS man to bring me another goody.  My husband, as a surprise, bought me a Nikon D7000 camera with accessories.  I'm so excited!  I know I'm going to have to practice a lot!  It is not going to be like my P&S for sure.
  Well, I tried to upload a few pictures but for some reason it is not letting me.  I guess I'll have to try to post some later.
Hugs,
Carolyn
