Some people won't be able to post their gifts, so I'll post them:

1. Amanda's (bourdelson) Secret Santa was Patrick:

2. dolce shanti's Secret Santa was Cherchezlafemme:



I actually worked for almost 2 hours on a web site, forgot to save it, and it got deleted...argg...and I didn't have time to re-do it...so, I have "real" presents instead!

1) A portrait of yourself/other people/animal done especially for you by myself. You can choose from having it done in either pencil, colored pencil or chalk pastels. I will scan the picture and make it into an avatar for you...unfortunately I won't be able to get you the original, but it should look cool over the 'net as well :)

2) $3 through paypal to go towards some Red Hot Chili Pepper songs (or anything else you like)! This one only applies if you have a paypal account...if you don't, sorry, but hey...it's the thought that counts, right? ;)

Merry Christmas!! Hope you have a blessed one!



And I want to wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!

Merry Christmas, dolce shanti. :)

Here's a scaled down and lower quality preview of the desktop wallpaper image I've crafted:

Aww, it's okay. Thank you! I just wish I knew your password so that I could see it, haha. [It's asking me to log in under your Photobucket user name.]

Thanks a bunch, Lissa! My wallpaper's not changed in months, so I look forward to yours. :D

:lolo:

Haha! Thanks...it made me giggle :) I actually just got back from a huge conference where we focused on how magnificent God is, which is why I'm late in responding, and also why I think it made me laugh so much ;) My mom and sis also found it amusing.

Merry belated Christmas and New Year! Thanks again for that wallpaper.

You're welcome. :) Hopefully you'll get some use out of that Photoshop document. I learned a few things making it.

I'm going back to school tomorrow, so I'll be able to check out the photoshop version then. Unfortunately, I don't have it at home yet :)

Glad you learned while you were working on it, too!
