I made some new Breastfeeding blinkies this week, they are for month-by-month milestones during baby’s 4th year (I’ve already done years 1-3). One of my YM friends requested them as her son just turned 3!! I think it’s amazing and inspiring she is still nursing.
Here is one of the blinkies, and you can find the rest of them on a new “Page 3″ of my Breastfeeding Blinkies section of BlinkieMommies.

I was thinking of doing some Extended Nursing blinkies next, or maybe some Toddler Nursing blinkies. Oh and my cousin has suggested I do the Nursing Award Ribbons in my “cutesy” style so that’s a challenge I might take on as well!
ETA: and of course it was a challenge I couldn’t refuse.
Here’s one of the blinkies, the rest are up on BlinkieMommies.*

ETA: but of course coming up with my own concept was even more fun

* EDIT: All blinkies are now hosted on KStarDesign.com!

On a happier note, I installed Photoshop on my laptop, yay! Now I can muck around with photos and blinkies and what not from here, since I rarely make the trek down to my desk top computer in the basement office.
Here’s what I did yesterday for one of the Challenges on a Siggies message board I’ve been a member of since about January of this year…


Which one do you like better? <--- not that this opinion will in any way help to resolve a spousal difference of opinions.
Hopefully I can keep my creativity jump-started and get back to work on all of my projects, some of which might end up being a viable career path for me as something to do from home. The "new" special secret website (the .com I bought this summer) needs lots and lots of work.
EDITED TO ADD: Here's Paul's version, which is apparently what he *meant* by "just the pumpkins" orange...
