The Pookster is a baby boy named Theo. Mommy Dawn (me) and Daddy Vlady live with baby Theo in California. Vlady is a Russian immigrant who did me the honor of marrying me in 2008.
The Pookster was born on June 6, 2010, my first child at the age of 43. I write here about my experiences as a mother. I also want to chronicle his firsts—a sort of electronic baby book.

Dawn,
Your explanation of mixing colors in Photoshop as if they were paint is the most well-written PS tutorial I’ve run across – and I say that as an engineer with very limited artistic skills. And in tracking you down to thank you, I came across the Graphene theme.
I can only say thank you for providing the two pieces we needed for a website we’re building. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I also wanted to ask if you still do small little Photoshop jobs. The blending we’re trying to do is something I’m sure I can do, but not sure if the time expenditure on the learning curve (using your tutorial) and my weak artistic skills makes it a worthwhile investment.
If you still dabble during the Pookster’s naps, and have probably 15-30 minutes for what we need, I’d like to talk to you about what it would cost to do what we want (it’s changed slightly because of the Graphene theme).
Please let me know either way, and love the video of Vlady in the rasta hat after lending his to the Pookster.
Thanx for help you probably didn’t even know you gave; I sincerely appreciate it.
Keith
