Soooo...HELLO!!  Many of you may have been wondering where I've been & what I've been up  to, since I've pretty much been like a ghost in the night (bumping in around Multiply, here and there randomly). To be honest, there's not a 'whole bunch' that is new. I'm still PERPETUALLY tired, sleeping an INSANE amount of hours AND when I AM awake I seem to spend a good amount of THAT time in a fog, lol. Let me tell ya, I may be laughing as I write this, but....when you feel like this day, after day, after day.....it is REALLY HARD to concentrate on anything (or for that matter FIND MOTIVATION to do anything)! Heck, if I want to be real honest...I might as well admit that I'm even "cranky" right now! :P

All that said....I HAVE developed an interest here at Multiply that I've been fighting my listlessness to try and focus on ~ that interest would be 'creating theme layouts'. I've always had an artistic nature and have been drawn to creating things. Throughout my life I've dabbled in various arts/crafts, crochet, knitting (although very basically because this is not my best skill, lol), drawing/sketching, oil painting (another think I need more practice with, lol), sculpting and photo editing (with a VERY basic program). I've just always been a 'hands-on' person that has enjoyed making things & if I haven't known the actual directions for how to do something, I've usually found my own (modified) way to get the end result I've wanted.

Doing  modifications on THEMES, has been a bit of challenge however (I have to rely even MORE on my head than my hands & THAT is pretty scary, lol). Wouldn't be so hard except that I'd never even heard the term "css" before joining Multiply.....I also never had an interest in learning any kind of computer related code before either. I couldn't shake the side effects of the 'Multiply bite' though....so in I dived! At the same time I also 'dived in' to trying to learn my way around the Photoshop program I have ~ I'd looked at it before, but gave up on it prematurely (napping sounded like a much better idea since I was not properly motivated, lol). By some miracle I have managed to figure a few things out (at least within the moment that I needed to do them, lol) and I have finished two themes. I know....doesn't sound like a lot in all the time that's passed (but remember....I am also doin' a LOT of sleeping, lol). I ended up going with zodiac sign themes because I started the first one with a friend in mind, and it just seems logical for me to complete the series. Some of you may have already seen them (if you belong to any of my theme groups), but for those of you who haven't I've included a slideshow of each.
