a big shout-out to MissEmily for walking me through the elusive Orton effect, that I'm now officially in love with! It reminds a lot of the Glow in PhotoBooth, with out the annoying intensity.

I took a long round of photos while on the phone with a friend, I was sure he was going to comment on my incessant clicking... come to find out he thought I was intermittently typing!

it's that time of year, again... the time where I try to get my taxes done ASAP. In going through everything, I've noticed I came out further ahead with PayPerPost than I'd ever expected. As of today (end the end of 2006, as I took a rather long hiatus of blog participation for varied reasons) I've earned/recieved a total of $1345.98 simply for sponsored content on my blog.
Can I get a woot-woot!?

There were certainly times I went gung-ho and never missed a days max of opportunities (especially when I was otherwise unemployed!) and other times when I'd go weeks without doing a single PPP post. Factoring all that in, I'd be silly to ignore the awesome power of the PPP, and I'm doing my best, despite crazy times & schedules, to get my foot back in the door and the usual swing of things. I miss my day-to-day intensive blogging to begin with, let alone the cool opps and money$ trickling/flowing in from my good friends at PPP!

...enough already!

*shaking her head* google eyes, once the bain of my existance in the search for amigurumi eyes, have made headlines... the flickr blog at that.

So a randomly fun mix of craftiness, flickr, and food photography had otherwise alluded me! *shrug* Apparently there was a contest, and the weiner of it all (pun 112% intentional) was the classic Octodog (not that any one involved is fully aware of the major bento-ness of the octodog... but still!)
