Gone AWOL

Whew, it's been a while since I've done much of anything scrap-wise. I got a little overwhelmed at the whole thing, and although I was thrilled to have a kit for sale, I was totally clueless as to how to get the word out. Combine those factors with a healthy inferiority complex, seasonal depression and the holidays, and I just had to take a step back. It was a bigger step than I thought though, because when I did finally check my e-mail inbox, I found an e-mail saying I needed to sign a new contract if I wanted to remain a part of the store. The deadline had passed several days before I read the e-mail so I sent and explanatory e-mail but have yet to hear back. If they'll have me, I'll give the store another try. If not, maybe I'll give it a little time and go back to just freebies for a while.
It's hard to justify the time designing without any financial benefit when there are so many other things that need doing, but it's good for me to continue learning. I love it when I accomplish something (however small) that I didn't think I could do.
I might look into PSP...I do the bulk of my designing in Illustrator and Photoshop, but a lot of the prolific designers I like use PSP.
Speaking of designers I like, check out Katie's stuff at justsoscrappy.blogspot.com - it's all so cute!
