Better Days

Finally, the weather is getting a little warmer. We've got upper 40's (Fahrenheit) for the next couple of days and up to near 60º by next week. With any luck, we'll get through February without and major snowfall and get rid of the mountains of snow that are in just about every parking lot in the area.

Been adding products to my Zazzle store a little at a time and I've started going through the tutorials at Blurb to get up to speed so I can get my photo books designed and published. Busy, busy. I'm taking my time with the tutorials so I can really get a handle on doing things right. It's interesting stuff. I've gotten familiar with the book design software and I'm hoping I can get an upgrade for InDesign so I can go the "PDF to Book" route. I think it might be a bit more flexible as far as choosing which book format and layout you can go with. I'll have to check out the tutorial on that to make sure. Other than that, nothing else big going on.

Car Show, Sort of

Got to the new car show today but had to cut it short after my mom called 10 minutes after I got there and said she was trying to get a slot at the dentist due to the bad weather coming tomorrow. Well, I got the brochures I wanted, checked out a couple of cars and headed home. I called just before I got on the PATCO Speedline and she hadn't heard from them yet. I called again after I got back to my place and she still hadn't heard anything. Never called so my day was ruined for no reason. Nothing new. I think I might go again on Saturday. I want to get there right when it opens so we can check out as many cars as possible and take a look at some of the classic and vintage cars. In the meantime, back to work on my Zazzle store and getting up to speed on color management at Blurb.com so I can start working on publishing some of my photos. I'd like to get at least two books of them out this year by the holidays so I can have more of my stuff out there to sell. If I do them right, I think they'll sell well. Won't know until I try.
