Don't forget to sign up for my June classes!

I'm sitting here typing this all up and listening to my three year old son who is still up and it's midnight and he's singing!  He's at this stage where he is falling asleep around 5 PM and there's nothing I can do to wake him up or keep him awake.  So, he'll sleep for 3 hours and then he's up all night!  He's my fourth child, so you would think I had this all figured out by now.  I've tried giving him earlier naps and he won't take them...but he needs them.  I'm open to any advice you all might send my way on this topic.  Help!  :)

Aside from that, it's time to sign up for my Photoshop classes again and I'm so excited!  We have so much fun and learn so much in the classes.  I'm very excited to announce that I'm adding another new class for June!  The new class is an advanced Photoshop CS3 class that will cover some things you can only do in CS3! 

You can sign up here!  Classes start next week!
I'm also planning on adding an Illustrator class for July!

Someone wrote me and asked if the A4 Discover Quick Album could be resized down to 6x4 inch brag book pages.  The answer is...not without cutting some of it off.  However, I thought it was such a great idea that I rearranged the parts that would get cut off and made a brag book quick album for my shoppe.  Here's a look:

And, here's a free template for you too:

Well, my husband got offered a great opportunity to partner in on a little business called Reliable Netwerks that is owned by two friends. They do computer work for small businesses including servers, PCs, and phone switches just to name a few. They even do spyware removal and cleanup. They have a clientele of doctor's and dentist's offices and they also service other types of small businesses. They have been in business a couple of years. We felt like it was the right decision. My husband is great at what he does so we feel like this is a very good opportunity. So, if you have a small business in the Logan or Salt Lake City Utah areas and you need computer work done, keep him in mind! You can send Lance an email to request service and get more info:

I also have some new things in my store. First is my discover addon:

You can buy the addon here for only $4.00!

I also have a new quick page set! It was a request from a customer in Australia. This is my first A4 Landscape Photobook set! All of the layouts are double-sided for a total of 20 pages! All you have to do is put your photos in and take them to your favorite photo lab for printing! Here's a preview:

You can buy the album here!

And finally, here is my Making Music Addon! This one has been a long time in the making. The papers were created along with the original kit...a year ago! Here are some previews:

I was working to get my garden planted today...well, I've been working on it for weeks now.  I've got all of my squash, tomatoes, peppers, and onions planted.  We're extending the garden and moving my strawberry patch out of the garden and along our back fence so we've been doing a lot of work on it.  So, I've been going out in the evenings and letting the kids play in the yard while I work in the garden.  Tonight, I noticed that my 3 year old son was missing after a few minutes.  So, I went looking for him and found him in the house and he had eaten a half pan of brownies.  What a little rascal!  :)

Well, I'm feeling much better about things.  My husband lost his job through a "reduction in IT staff".  He did get some severance pay and we had been saving everything he could for the last six months trying to save enough to get out of debt.  It's hard to see him put his heart and soul into a company have it end. 

He's had some job interviews, but nothing promising yet.  He turned down a few job offers just before he found out about all of this.  I guess that's an irony.  He probably would have accepted one of them if he had known he would be out of a job.  We've had a lot of friends and former co-workers send him info about jobs.  We feel very blessed!  It's a little stressful because we need the health insurance because of my MS but I know we will get through it.  I guess we'll have to pay COBRA for a while and see what to do after that.  US healthcare is a real problem.  He really wants to start his own business but there's no way for me to get health insurance if we do that.  Anyway, that' my two cents.  Stepping back, change can be a good thing.  Thanks to everyone who has offered kind words over this.  It helps a lot.

I have to say that the last week or so has been one of the toughest weeks I've had in a long time.  So many changes and so much uncertainty about what we should do.  I had to get out to work in my garden today to clear my head.  I am amazed by all of the caring friends and family that my husband and I have who have offered information and help with the challenges we are facing.  Most of all, I'm grateful for my faith.  I don't know where I would be without it.  There's a scripture in 1 Peter that talks about the trial of our faith being more precious than gold.  My dad told the scripture to me a while ago as I was going through some of the decisions I had to make with my MS meds and I've thought about it here and there.  I'm sure he didn't know how much of an anchor it would be me now.  I am grateful for my good family.  They are always there when we are going through hard times.  :)
