The Learning Curve Just Got Twisted

Finally uploaded the pics of the crochet and knitted pieces I'd completed to my website at: www.cherrigalbiati.com marked the FUN STUFF section. They're a bit off kelter, but at least you can get a peek at what I do for a hobby. 

Now for the twist on the "learning curve". I've completed a sweet Christmas short story and am about ready to upload it to Kindle. All I have to do now is let loose my artistic mind and wrap it around how to do a book cover! So far, I've managed to insert a flaming tree (it's supposed to be a Christmas tree), and two dogs that look like goats grazing on a pile of coals. Sheesh! Nate, a friend and fellow writer, tells me to just play with the program and it'll all come together. Now, in my mind, PLAY=FUN...so tonight I'm asking myself, "when do we start playing?" Because I'm sure as heck ain't havin' no fun! This is maddening! LOL.

Tomorrow starts a new week ahead and I'm looking forward to it, now that I've had my Sunday evening with the a/c turned down cold enough to hang meat (according to my husband) and curled up with a wonderful story by Debbie Macomber, A Good Yarn. The cold, the new afghan, and the book put me on a much higher plain! Thank you, Honey for obliging me. 

Enjoy your week, I know I'm going to. Today is "doggie bath" at our house and four fur-kids will be getting dunked!

Happy trails and tails,
Cherri
