Since I've only been here a few days, I can't really say much about the last year. There have been many firsts, just not in the skinning department.

I suppose the real first is that I gave myself Object Desktop for Christmas and have been enjoying playing with my new 'toy'. I love it so far. I'm still trying to figure out everything but am having a great time of it.

I'm interested in the creative side of things but it's a little overwhelming at this early stage. I'm not a graphics novice, know my way around Adobe Photoshop CS2 pretty well. Can make all these nifty things like buttons, my own styles and shapes, but it's going to take a while to sort out this Studio. Even then I'm not sure I'll do WB. My interest is really in the DesktopX section.

My next gift to myself will be a subscription here.   

This is the first year I won a skin competition here at WC... ok .. ok..so it was a "find the image's within the skin" contest but still...

yeh im pathetic.. but lovable

My first skin published on WC. Took a long time to get that done.

This year I won a sub to WC, then purchased ODNT, CXP Plus and ObjectDock Plus. Renewed a 2-year sub to WC for a good cause. Trying to make a skin (makes me respect skinners that much more!).

Love this site and plan to stay here awhile.
