A Journaling I Go.....

That's right...it's time for the monthly blog post...lol.

Been working on some journal pages for that journal that I did in Wendy's class several months ago... the pages are 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches, roughly.

Here we go, oh, and before I forget, this is the inside of the front cover, you know, the one I said I would show you last month...



Ok, here's some pages:


I know this probably isn't politically correct, nor do I care, but she looks, ah, rather tribal, don't you think? Thought of putting a bone or ring thru the nose?? Too much? lol.
 
The sentiment on this one is perfect, because this page turned into a nightmare. It was perfect before I started stamping..lol..so, a lot of white paint later, along with more ink and some embossing paste..and here's the result. Still not sure I'm happy with it, but, I'm moving on...lol 
Well, that's about it for now, thanks so much for looking...it's appreciated!

The popularity of video games has been happening since its beginnings with pong. The area is one that is continually growing. Here are some great online gaming tricks and suggestions.

If you have trouble taking breaks while gaming, start a 30-minute timer. If you continuously sit there and play all day long, it can make your body really tires and harm your body, which ends up causing you problems to your health in the future. A timer is a reminder to put the game on pause and take some time off.

As with many other things, you may need to try and try again in your gaming. Don't expect to become a master at every game you hold. Learn patience and make sure to practice to ensure that you eventually become good at it. This will let you master your games.

If you're looking for video games that are on sale, look at their Metacritic score prior to buying one. Many discounted games are cheap because they are not any fun to play. So, if you buy an unplayable game, you won't save money. Reviewing the scores, especially from a review aggregator like Metacritic, can save you from wasting your cash.

These days, lots of games are transmitted online. There are a wide variety of downloadable games available for PCs, consoles, and smartphones. It s convenient, but it may cause you to spend more money than normal. Resist the temptation to make impulse gaming purchases, especially of big-ticket new releases. It is important to learn everything you can about a game prior to purchasing it.

Think about stopping by video games arcades in other locations. Many people now enjoy playing video games at their homes by themselves. If you go out of town to an arcade, you can enjoy your games along with some human interaction.

If you are thinking about purchasing a video game for a child, you may want to look into what each ESRB rating means. These ratings help you learn what games are best for your kid's age level so that you can avoid inappropriate content. The ratings tell you which games are appropriate.

If you have children, ensure that you're limiting the amount of video game play time your children have. Try not to let your kids play for over two hours every day since it can rearrange their priorities and strain their hands and eyes.

Many modern online games give you two choices. First, you can earn in-game content and rewards gradually through investment of your time and work. Or, you can just flat out buy them with your real world money. Consider how much advantage these purchases will actually give you in game. Many cash purchases don't really do that much to help you win the game. Or, they might improve it a lot and save you tons of time.

Reserve games that are high in demand to ensure that you will get a copy. You may get special bonuses when ordering early. The bonuses could be some special features, outfits, or anything that could help you when it comes to playing. The only way you can get them is by ordering early.

Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.

No matter if you need to boost your grades, manage people and products, or get back at an enemy in the dark, video games can truly make it happen! Put the suggestions and tricks of this article to good use in your world of gaming today.
