I can learn anything I put my mind to....EXCEPT THIS! I finally got so frustrated I was sitting at the computer desk doing that primal growl thing when my 14 year old daughter walks by and says, "mom, do you want me to do it for you?" She made me send the pics to her "photobucket"-whatever THAT is!-and had my new Av done in 5 minutes. Little turkey. It moves a little too fast. My only complaint. I coulda done about 5 loads of laundry and had a relatively clean house instead of a day of frustration....

Too funny, but I definitely can relate. I've had photoshop for a year, but never got past the head-banging stage. I secretly thought the ones who knew how to do avatars were being stingy for not sharing the advice, but after learning I see why. There are a lot of intricate steps. Nothing difficult in itself, but a lot of things you have to do a certain way or nothing works. And I'm just doing the most basic stuff.

Iheartyorkies, I love that expression too! I've never seen a breed of dog that has more smirks and smiles and frowns than Yorkies. I believe that look was one of terror when Sophia was chasing him.
