A Windy Hello from Minnesota!

My name is Jazzi AKA Jazzi Kreationz and I live with my husband AKA (The Husband Person) and our dog and two cats in Minnesota where we are still dealing with mountains of snow, occasional freezing rain and other wonderful weather events. I have been tagging off and on for 9 years and find there is something new to learn every day.

While I still have my security PSP 9 program, I have added PSP X, PSPPX2 and PSPPX3; Adobe Photoshop Extended 4 and the upgrade to 5; Corel Painter 11 and last but not least a Waacom tablet that I need to learn how to use.

I have recently bought the domain jazzi.kreationz.net for the next 10 years and am learning how to put things on it. Time will tell, I imagine; however I do plan on having a few different specialized blogs in addition to a showcase for my handbound books, paintings and marbled papers.

I have become a CU freebie hunter out of necessity, I found that I kept buying awesome kits only to find the same elements in them only in different colors. So I have since started purchasing scripts and actions instead to see if I can make my own to fit my needs.

With the cost of tubes (I have licenses everywhere and with most if not all the independent artists) rising; I have cut corners where I can; especially since I do not work outside the home and with the rising costs of gasoline things. So I happened upon this forum in my blog and "shiny" think strolling and thought I would check it out.

Thanks,

~Jazzi~

Hey Jazzi!!!

I new to the site myself.....but welcome!!

Hi Jazzi!

Welcome to the forum! Hey if you need any help putting your website together, feel free to send questions my way! I have experience with both wordpress, opencart, blogger, and have done some with zencart here and there. What are your plans for your site? I pointed 3 domains over to blogger this week from 2 different domain registrars. This was the first time doing this, and it was a bit tricky, but I've got it down pat now. One thing cool about blogger is that it allows people to subscribe to your blog to stay up to date with your new posts. You can set up subdomains as well. So say if you wanted a blog at jazzi.kreationz.net and then say a shop, you could create a shop subdomain like shop.jazzi.kreationz.net. If you wanted to use wordpress as a front end you could set up jazzi.kreationz.net/shop in a subfolder. I highly suggest doing a blog though, because it's a great way to network and promote your goods.

I started out with paint shop pro back in the early 90's and then migrated to gimp, then PS. I did a few things back in the days of PS6, but didn't really get into photoshop until a couple of years ago. I'm new to the scrapbooking thing, but have been doing web development for several years now.

I hear ya about the cold weather! I'm from Michigan and it just seems like winter is never gonna end! Spring is inevitable though, and it looks like we're going to get a warm spell here by the end of the week.
