Dear Me: A Letter to Woodstock at 16

I have been a fan of OutQ radio on Sirius for a number of years, I especially like Derek & Romaine and listen to them on my long ride home.  A few days ago they had a guest on author Joseph Galliano who wrote a book called Dear Me: Letters to my Sixteen Year Old Self and Dear Me: More Letters to My Sixteen Year Old Self.  In this book he asked famous people to write and submit to him letters they have written to their sixteen year old selves.  The concept is brilliant, kind of in the vain if I knew then what I know now what would I change.  I have not read the book yet it is on my wish list, but the idea of what you would tell your sixteen year old self is amazing and cathartic.  So I decide to challenge myself to this task here is my letter and picture of myself at sixteen.  I challenge you to do the same and if you do leave a comment so I can find out what you had to say.  This is when I got the nickname Woodstock October 27, 2011 Dear Woodstock, Greetings from the future

WIP: The Digital Version

To say I go from one project to the next like an OCD rabbit would be an understatement since I was a small child my interest have been wide never truly settling on one genre I seem to float from vintage to futuristic, sewing to paper art, photograph to digital art the list goes on.   With my camera down (hubby accidentally sent my memory card to parts unknown when he mailed out a package) and hoping that Newegg sends me a new one soon I am unable to start my photo journal, but knowing Texas weather it should arrive once we get a cold snap.   In the interim I decide to research on how to make my blog represent my various sides so as usual I goggled how to and found the mother lode of tutorials.     I found wonderful tutorials on using Picasa for making banners and scrap booking from Clover Lane her blog is informative a must see.   I also found multiple tutorials at The Cutest Blog on the Block which helps me to create the background.    As the days get short I hope to create more
