Please help!!

Australia is a nation in mourning for the victims of the recent bushfires, which have devastated over 700 homes, and killed over 170 people and climbing.

Images courtesy of The Herald Sun gallery

This disaster is so very near and dear to our hearts, and when Aussies are in need, they come together to help, so Pickleberrypop is proud to report that $1,500 from site profits has been donated via The Red Cross, and direct donation to a PBP designer and her family, to aid the victims of these bushfires.

We appeal to this community to please dig deep and help those in need by making a donation, however small or large, it all adds up. Please visit THIS site to see how and where you can help. If you are not in Australia, you can still help as some organisations will allow international residents to donate, for example, the The Salvation Army (please type 'Victorian/Australian Bushfire Appeal 2009' in the specific use field), and the Australian Red Cross.

Thank you.

Photo Tagged...

2009-02-09T14:54:00.004+11:00

I have been photo tagged by Jewels. What do I have to do?

"Go to the 6th album of your photos and find the 6th photo.
Share that photo and tell a little bit about it.
Tag six people and ask them to do the same."

LMAO! My 6th album was a wedding album and this is the 6th photo. This is my mate Jessica. We have been friends since year 8. After I left School at the start of year 12 we lost contact but found each other again on Facebook. She made the drive to Cowra to come to my wedding last Nov (2008), it was the first time we had seen each other in about 5 or 6 years. And as you can see by the photo, it was like we had never parted LOL

Now to tag 6 more people:

Leni
Kris
Karina
Jane

Ok, I cant think of 6 right now LOL so will have to come back and add 2 more ♥

Learning with PSP

2009-01-05T17:35:00.007+11:00

I am going to learn all I can with PSP this year! I have been saving tutorials, trying them, and I even signed up for a Scrapbook Class for PSP users! It runs for 4 weeks and starts on the 5th of Jan (american time). I am really looking forward to it :) I signed up at Digital Scrapbooking Classes

Today I followed this tutorial HERE on how to make shiny buttons. It was pretty informative for me since it uses a PS plugin, so had to work that out LOL.... google was my friend ;) Here is my finished product (I shrunk it down to use as an avatar on some forums I belong to)

I am so excited about my classes! I cant wait!!

Happy New Year!!
