All teched up….

Yep that’s me all teched up and ready to go.

I have no idea what my children are doing but I’ve had to wait 24 hours to get this stuff home and installed so I had to tell someone, and since Renee is not online (how rude!) to tell, this will just have to do!

Look at my new toys!!!!

This is my new scanner- a Cannoscan LIDE 60 to be exact. We had a scanner once… back when they were a fairly new toy to play with but ofcourse as we upgraded out OS the drivers didn’t keep up. So I have been without one of my own for years and didn’t really miss it until I got hooked on making brushes. So I used to trek over to my parent’s place to play with my Dad’s scanner and I was wrapped when he suggested he’d buy me one for my birthday! Yipeee!

And this is my new graphics tablet! A wacom graphire 4, 6×8!
Oh how I have drooled over these babies for months! I could just never justify the expense when we were on such a tight budget, but I got some money for my birthday from various wonderful inlaws and only had to add in a little more to make up the difference to get this awesomely fun little toy! I’ve had a quick play and it is going to take some getting used to, but it is sooooooooooo much fun!

Ok so that’s all I wanted to say…. I had better go see where the girls have gone, it’s always a worry when things go quiet! Will be back layer tonight and might even having some scanned, tabletted stuff to show you… or I might not!
