My patience with Photoshop and Typepad has worn thin. Without waiting for "perfection," I am just going to go ahead and hit "Publish." I fell in love with this photo and thought I might be able to do something with it. The look isn't quite where I want it to be, but it is better than the non-descript colors of the previous template.
Ah, well. It is a work in progress. I guess I'll just share the process with ya'll instead of making a grand entrance with a finished work of art!
Perhaps this week I will have time to tweak it?
