For months now, especially when my sisters caught the Photoshop bug, I've wanted a collage of pictures of A and I for my desktop. The concept I wanted was polaroids, polaroids, polaroids (with captions, of course)!
But the thing is, I have no patience to learn. I try yet I give up easily if I couldn't figure it out. A lot of people say that they just tinkered around and that's how they developed the skill. But not me. I tinker and I make it worse!
And so, two nights ago, I challenged myself. I have to figure it out without asking Seph, our creative designer or my sisters, Cami and Ara. Would you believe, to make the first polaroid pic and layer it into the background took me 3 hours to figure out?!?!?!? That's all I did the first night. And so tonight, I finished everything and it turned out just the way I like it. The c aptions on the polaroids are lyrics of songs that have meaning to A and I... or at least to me as they remind me of him or our times together.
Here's the finish product of my first layout attempt. (Unfortunately, the uploaded pic is as huge as blogger would go):

I'm so happy and giddy with excitement and pride.
I'm going to sleep. Sun's rising! Time to go back inside my casket. Still have work tomorrow... err, later.
