Hello Ms Vicki! You've been quiet around here lately. Nice to see you :)

I try to visit GR most days, but life has a terrible habit of mucking up my plans. The Yea Art Show was held over the long weekend. I decided to enter last minute, so that sent me into panic mode and everything else got dropped in my rush to have everything ready. (I sold 3 of the 6 works I entered.)
And then yesterday was picnic day aka no computer day.
No excuse really... :)

I thought you might have been busy writing ;), but creating artwork is just as awesome particularly if you can sell them.

Thanks so much Julie. Look, now I can hit reply and it actually works! Help very much appreciated. Thank you.
Suzanne wrote: "Clever Julie, I didn't know about the switch to at the bottom :)"Seems like a couple of us learnt something from my little exercise, so that was good. Three cheers for Julie.

Congratulations on selling those works, Vicki. Must be lovely to be multi-talented. Good on you.

Not a problem Dale, I'm glad it worked :)
FYI, if you are into reading manuals...which I admit to being a bit of a freak for ;)... Amazon and ibooks have lots of free as well as pay for books for learning ipad hints and tips. Just search "ipad" or "ipad for"..there's even a few listed here on GR.
Laura wrote: "Saturday is getting closer :D"Not too long now Laura :)
Nope! 12:10am here at the moment so Thursday has only just happened.

Ashleigh wrote: "Loving my internship. Getting to read and review books pre release"Do you have to read many bad ones?
Phrynne wrote: "What kind of works Vicki? You are obviously multi talented since you write as well."I do them in a drawing programme similar to Adobe Illustrator with "digital" inks, paints and various other textures. The picture is then Giclée printed on 40x50cm art paper, which is then mounted and framed. There's a slideshow of some of my works (and Alan's woodwork) here: http://tysyndesigns.com/originals.html
Brenda wrote: "Congratulations on selling 3 of your works Vicki! That's awesome:)"Thanks, Brenda. I was certainly excited about it. :)
Carolyn wrote: "I thought you might have been busy writing ;), but creating artwork is just as awesome particularly if you can sell them."Art is fun. And it doesn't take a year or more to complete one piece. :)
But at this stage, writing is still more profitable.

Do you paint?"
Thanks, Sally. I paint with digital media. There' a link a few comments back if you'd like to see an example of my work.
Brenda wrote: "Not sure about those (that's you isn't it?)...but computer - websites etc... A multi-talented person is our Vicki!"Haha... yes, I have to confess to being a geek. I've sorted out a few iPad issues for people, but that's having the iPad in front of me. But if anyone has problems, please fee free to ask and I'll see if I can help. I do have an iPhone and iPod Touch, which has a similar operating system, so that helps.
☼♄Jülie wrote: "Lol....when in doubt press every button is my motto Brenda!"Yep, that ought to do it. Or the classic turn it off and back on again. It's actually remarkable how often rebooting works. :)
☼♄Jülie wrote: "@ Vicki, you know what we are going to ask next don't you? ;D"What have I missed? :o)
Dale wrote: "Congratulations on selling those works, Vicki. Must be lovely to be multi-talented. Good on you."Thanks, Dale. There's plenty of skills I'd love to have but can't do, like sing (I am tone deaf), cook (I'm lucky to have a man who loves to cook), and read as fast as you, Brenda and the rest of the Aussie GR family. :)
Ashleigh wrote: "Loving my internship. Getting to read and review books pre release"How cool is that?
They are still investigating the problem with my car, but looks like it could cost "thousands". Considering it's 10 years old and probably only worth $1500, that will not be an option. Hubby has been at me to buy a new car, guess that's what it's going to be. A Honda Jazz is the most likely....
Meanwhile, catching the train to work :(

That's sad. Only ever read one or two of hers, but she was very popular.
