Photoshop=thorn in my side

So, the title is a little dramatic. But I got photoshop and today I decided I was going to learn how to use it! I'm relatively creative and like to explore so I thought I'd be able to figure a few things out. WRONG! This is not something you can just figure out if you aren't acquainted with this kind of software. I kind of understand what all the little tool buttons mean but man...it's not easy. Luckily I have a friend who is going to help me!
Anyway, I looked online and tried to find tutorials. They all have big words that I don't understand yet. I wanted to scream, "HELLO! Can I get an idiot version here???" I guess people don't buy software that's this expensive unless you know what you're doing. Maybe they have a dummies book out there for photoshop. Amazon.com here I come!
Anyway, after two hours I finally figured something out. And it's the picture you see in this post. Cheesy? Yes. All I could figure out? Yes. So I'm proud of myself, and pumped that I could do SOMETHING on this program! I made Ian come look and he was warned that it took me a long time and he needed to be excited. He has learned this well from when I spent a day scrapbooking for Mary and I ask Ian to come look. At first he would just be like, "That's cool" and walk away. But he has learned to say things like, "WOW! That looks awesome, you did a great job sweetie! That must have taken you forever!" That's what I like to hear!
SCORE!
