Money Making Schemes

It has come to my attention that we've stretched my husband's salary as far as it can go, and I may have to do some work myself. Yes, I am of the school that being a stay-at-home mom is work, but it's difficult to buy groceries when one is payed in hugs and kisses.

Thus far, no one has randomly given me writing work after looking at my website, so I'm going to try another plan, equally unlikely to succeed. I realize that until now even those who want to pay for this fabulous blog cannot, but fear not wealthy blog readers, I have signed up for a paypal account and you can now make donations using the new button on the sidebar.

Also, my graphic design husband is going to teach me everything he knows about graphics so he can pass me some of his freelance work. Eventually, my goal is to become a better graphic designer than he is (it always bugs me a little when someone I know is good at something that I'm not). I do have a degree in art and art history, and I assume oil painting and using the Adobe programs is pretty much the same thing. For one of my first lessons, Adam taught me a bunch of tricks in Illustrator and Photoshop and I made a cover for Jadzia's baby book:

Pretty impressive, eh? Later I'm going to try to redo all these techniques by myself, and see if I remember how to do everything. Hopefully I'll eventually be able to add a graphic design section to my website.
