I've been practicing manipulating photos with excel after reading several posts Ann put together recently and in July. She's much better at this than I am and it may stay that way since I don't have the hours to invest in figuring it all out. Also, she has a 2016 version of Excel, whereas mine is probably from 2010 or so.
I used here an image I made using a free flamepainting program online. I requested permission from the owners to use what I save to my computer here on mylot and on clickasnap for sharing purposes only. I'm sure the permission won't extend to using the same images on the e-commerce portion of the site once it's up and running. But I'm thinking that if I'm able to manipulate my 'creation' enough that I could possibly use those instead. At present I've not figured it out enough.
Another option I might have is to learn how to use adobe photoshop which I purchased in 2009. I've used it a little, but have no idea on what all is possible with that program. Maybe this winter when I'm off work I can delve into learning that.
Yesterday I spend a large portion of my day here and with the help of all of you I managed to make more than I ever have before. I made a whopping forty-seven cents between yesterday morning and this morning. The most I've made before that was thirty cents in a days time.
No one wants windows done again today, but I really need to get at my bookkeeping. I also hope to go visit my mom this afternoon rather than tonight. I hope to stay away from here in a bit and maybe tomorrow I can get back at things. I'm caught up with notifications to this past Monday which is great.
Have a great day all of you.

I realize that, but I like the shapes I've made with the flame painter to provide more artsy type of images too. I already received permission for simple sharing of what I come up with using their free software online.
I did do some kaleidescope images of some plants of mine from something he wrote either last year or on bubblews. If I can remember where the kaleidescope feature is, I could try that instead for something altogether different.

@rebelann I've not found the photo yet on my computer, but seeing that I rarely take time to tag my photos I'm not too surprised. I found several tutorials for using a kaleidoscope on photoshop, but it's time-consuming, so instead I looked for something else online and found a free program which I then used and will share my image in a minute here.
Kaleidoscope made with a specific filter from Gimphoto per @ceerios suggestions. I finally found it, Gus. I must have used this before when trying to make different photos for tsu or something.
with less than a hundred to go.@MarshaMusselman (38865)

If I can press a button to get something different it will work for me, otherwise, if I have to learn many things to get to that place,then I'll just have to wait for the future unless someone gives me a great tutorial.

I admire your ambition. I would like to get photoshop one of these days. Good luck with it all!

I wanted photoshop so bad, but haven't bothered to learn it once I did get it, so it's not doing me much good after all.

I found the photo editor needed to work with my images on my computer. With a bit of help from Gus, I've remembered how to use it. I don't have the time to figure things out on my own, so this particular program is nice because I just have to pick an option or decide which option I want and I can use my own images too.

Got a lot of the bookkeeping done, but still lots left as well. I visited with my mom, yes although she slept the first half of my visit and ate the next. SHe was more coherent than normal which was nice.
