Here is my submission for round 2 at FPD! It was quite funny actually (not!). We left for vacation Monday around noon and then once we settle in to the hotel in Mississippi that evening I plug in my *laptop* and find out that the assignment is to do 8 extractions and offer them as an element pack. The assignment was due Thursday at midnight and I knew we wouldn't get back home till at least 8:30 Thursday night, so I was freaking out!
One, I did not bring the cord to transfer photos from my camera to my lap top. Two, I brought my dinky (aka: *piece o' crap*) laptop with me that I hate working on, and Three, we were in the middle of Nowhere!
So, finally Tuesday night, after a 2 1/2 hour trip (each way) to New Olreans and back with the in-laws, I convince hubby to get me to the nearest Walmart (half an hour away!) and we find a universal cord for my camera and I also buy a bag of fuzzy things, felt and some buttons.
So, since we are sharing a hotel room with the baby, here I am trying to make these little dodads in the dark while she is sleeping. I used my husband's iPhone as a flashlight. Wednesday morning I convince him to go spend time with his family without me and let me work on this. OK, so I stink at extractions and taking photos, but I get it all loaded on *piece o' crap* and go to work and think, ok, this will have to do. I upload it and try to put it out of my mind. I get home last night and go look at my entry and I am pretty embarrassed! It looks totally different on a monitor bigger than 12 inches! LOL!
So today I got a little time to clean things up a bit more which is why this preview looks different from my preview in the contest. So, long story short, I managed to have a fairly nice vacation and spend some time with the inlaws, but I am so happy to be home and have all of this behind me! If you want to go leave me some love over there, I sure could use it about now!
Other than that, we have a busy weekend planned, birthday parties, etc. Personally, I wish I could sleep all weekend!

hey, don't be hard on yourself! I think they're precious, and I downloaded them and plan on using them! You did a great job for the pressure you were under, and I agree with anonymous, if your bad work is this good, then you have nothing to worry about!
