Well, here is e.w. the small and little person who is still a rotary dial girl. She loves what you do and is beyond understanding how you do it..other than your magic...which is pure magic.
She gets BLISS forever and ever. It's all good.
e.w. spent years teaching and she truly understands the wonder, the beauty of it all..and the relief of plunging into a weekend..swimming along and around with delight for a truly UNSCHEDULED bunch of hours. Glory be for those hours. Glory be to you.
xoxo, e.w.

OH MY! Fancy Shmancy! Love the Bliss sign. Reminds me of the blinking/flashing neon signs of my younger years (the 50's). You don't see them anymore.

laura -

photoshop cs5 animation gif

its not a hard process but took me awhile to get it figured out. googling online will lead you to some tutorials if youre interested. just knowing its an animated gif will help your search a lot and you can skip the stumbling around in the dark part.
i used a combination of tutorials.
i bet there are other ways to do it if you dont have PSCS5 (although if you are an educator you can get the discount like i did!!! 80% off the reg. price)
i plan to only post with animated gifs from now on.
im changing my blog to Dispatch From Animated Gif LA

[Sharon]

Happy life to you!

[Judy H.]

Ha! Love the animation! :D

I think this all has to do with the MOON....The BIG HUGE FULL MOON! Make sure you go outside tonight, and see the spectacular brightness that made you do this today! The MOON Miss MAM!
