I am so glad a friend turned me on to Paint Shop Pro back in 1995. I started off not knowing anything about graphics. But simple searches on the internet lead to some great tutorials for beginners. I was constantly trying to learn new things... new tricks and techniques. I love the feeling of creating something beautiful.
The thing with me... is that I will get very into something and then burn out on it and walk away. I have gone years without participating in the PSP communities. Sure I have made things for friends or my own Timeline covers on Facebook etc... but I wasn't really creating. This last break was about 5 years long. I realized how much I missed creating and sharing. So I am back... I can't say how long I am back for this time, but here I am.
Why Jaided Dreamah?
When choosing a "handle" or Nickname to use in groups etc... I try and find something that fits who I am. When I started in groups way back when, I was going through a very difficult time in my life. I was very jaded and so with a little spelling twist... I was Jaided. All of my tag file names ended with a "_jrh" which stood for Jaided Ravenheart. Well life gets better... and we heal and grow. I changed it to Jaided Crimsonheart because there was color back in my heart and I wasn't so dark anymore. I kept the Jaided because people I met in groups would recognize the name from back then. Plus I had done a lot of tubing and customizing that I released that had the Jaided name on them. So I held onto that.
After my 5 year break... I wanted something new. I thought about a word that would describe me now... and I came up with the word "Dreamer". It was perfect. I am a dreamer... and I have hope. The spelling of DreamAH is a play on my Boston accent. That is how I pronounce it.
On a Personal Note....I am a happily divorced mother of a 2 year old Beagle named Zoey. I will be turning 50 this year and tho I physically feel 90, I mentally feel 30... so I guess it evens out. I live out in the "sticks" of Maine. Boston is still "Home" for me...but I love where I live now. Life is good....
I have bored you enough don't you think?
Enjoy... Create.... Dream!
Dreamah
