That's why I too like to keep things cheap and cheerful, sewing machine, dollar store seam ripper, pair of scissors, thread, job's a good'n!Ruby Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991576349541946083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325886840038902936.post-72398962786392598162011-02-07T13:52:25.759-06:002011-02-07T13:52:25.759-06:00Thanks guys! :)

You can find it here, if you haven't already:<br /><br />http://www.gimp.org/<br /><br />It does just about everything Photoshop can do. I was even using it AFTER I got real Photoshop because I was so used to GIMP that Photoshop seemed confusing and hard to navigate.emmalemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240363904056366278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325886840038902936.post-15080340699108592432011-02-07T13:47:38.961-06:002011-02-07T13:47:38.961-06:00I've been following your blog for a while, and...I've been following your blog for a while, and I love it. By far, I think this might be my favorite post!<br />I thoroughly agree with everything you said, and I'm definitely going to try those photo editing ideas because I too want good software, but don't want to spend so much on Photoshop.<br />The most wonderful thing about crafting is that I've learned that ANYTHING can be fixed. If you sew something wrong, undo the stitches and just try it again. <br />Thanks so much for a great post. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802530819963580067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325886840038902936.post-59942546082563525622011-02-07T12:23:56.367-06:002011-02-07T12:23:56.367-06:00lulz. nice work. i like your list better than hers...lulz. nice work. i like your list better than hers. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782968734459050715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325886840038902936.post-86477187606942897192011-02-07T12:03:34.131-06:002011-02-07T12:03:34.131-06:00Imagination is huge- if you think outside the box ...Imagination is huge- if you think outside the box maybe you could borrow or craigslist or freecycle or collaborate instead of shelling out all of your money!
