A Stumble of Faith

Tonight I took a huge leap of faith.

I have been majorly putting off some work lately, out of sheer fear.  I finally bit the bullet and miraculously moved forward a bit.  I didn't take a graceful leap, or a execute a flawless swan dive.  I kinda slipped, stumbled, tumbled, and then...PLOP.

I belly flopped, more like it, into frigid waters.  I'm hoping it will pay off in the end though, and I end up making it to the warm, sunny shore. You know, before I drown.

Well, I desperately need a tan anyway, so it's time to bask in the glow of success.  My floaties have come off, and now it's sink or swim time.

A Custom-Designed Disaster

I know.  I need to STOP changing the look of my blog.  I get it.  But I wanted to prove to myself that I could design my own header-thingy.  Banner-whatev.  The thing at the top with my blog title.

Anyway...

So, in true Chrissy fashion, and yes, with many much better things to do with my time, I taught myself how to use Paint (I'm a little behind...no judging!) and I slopped together what you now see above.  I had too much fun with the eraser tool, and WAY too much fun searching for each individual letter.

And yes, that is my father with me when I was about two-years-old.  Ugh.

If that isn't bad enough, this is what I had about 2 hours ago:

Yep.  And since I'm so cross-eyed right now, I just might have to fix the latest version tomorrow.  Wait, who am I kidding?  It already is tomorrow.

What have I  learned from this experience?  Truly?


That I am not a designer.  (but wish I was!)

Time to tumble into bed.
Ta ta,
