You hang in there and yes, photographs are an art.
They even offer a class at the folk school and at craft shows you see photographs matted and selling like crazy.

Both. They have pictures of animals, barns, old houses, mountains, farms.
I'll just bet you could get some really good scenes in Florida and sell them up here to people who miss home.

Oh shoot, now you will just have to go to the craft store and buy some more. Poor thing.
You will probably have to stroll up and down all the aisle's looking for it too.
Why don't you see if they have a photograph book for dummies online or at the library. Not saying anything mean. I have several dummy book's for computers and they are so great and making things simple.

Put your big girl panties on, get your umbrella and do us frustrated shoppers a favor. Shop and eat donuts for us.

Some of the wood stuff I have seen at local arts/crafts fairs are absolutely beautiful! I wish I knew how to do some of that stuff and had the equipment to do it!

I had tools and saws but sold everything when I moved to the mountains. If anyone on here is as old as me, you might remember as a kid having a picture of Jesus on a thin piece of wood with the bark all around it. My mom has mine someplace and I can't find another anywhere. There are a couple on Ebay but they look pretty bad. I would like to find someone who could make that for me. It would go good in our log home.

I would have to start small, maybe a washcloth or dishrag square.
Then if it didn't seem to tedious venture forth into something else.

I like quick, fast results.
Something that takes day's on end I lose interest in.
Must be my ADD.

I have another article I am going to send you.
A really smart fellow here at work put it together, it's about taking pictures with a digital camera.
By the way did you read where Polaroid is going to do away with their film market?
