Mackenzie - My iMac

Yes, it's true! I have named my iMac, Mackenzie. Yes, I am getting more and more attached to her everyday, let's just hope that she doesn't let me down. I am still learning all of her tricks and hope to soon be proficient at her iMovies, Garage Band, and all the new graphics software I have installed on her! Here is a recent picture of her, only at just under two weeks old, hehehe!

Urban Threads

So, I am a digital designer for Top Line Creations and they just released a kit that I created today for their LifeTimez software. I designed the layouts and they added the photos. Photos are not what I would have chosen, but hey, that's ok!

Shot Through The Heart

OK, I grew up in the 80's and 90's so this video is so totally relevant to me and it's STINKIN' FUNNY! Hey friends, you know who you are... you will love it too!

I'm an iMac!

WHAT HAVE I DONE???

Sooooooo, we have been saving up to get me a new computer for a while now. With doing so much more digital scrapbook designing I needed something more powerful than my laptop. It was driving me crazy trying to design new papers or elements and it taking a good 2 minutes just to have one action do it's job!

NOW, I have a screaming iMac! Why an iMac you say? Well we have been told that it is the best computer you can have if you are a graphics designer!

WELLLLL, it's driving me nutz! So many years of being proficient on a PC and now with the iMac, all the shortcuts are different, the folders are different, the software is different! UGH!

Slowly I am getting used to it! I YOU HAVE AN iMAC and could give me a few tips, I welcome any comments on this post! LOL!

Here is my new baby.... well, she is a BIG baby, 24 inches, lol!
YES, the computer is INSIDE of the monitor! No tower to mess with, I could take this puppy to crops if I wanted to, lol!
