why does Photoshop hate me?

Today I gave myself a pep-talk about using programs at school so I could go in and do my homework. I was there working along, doing things the hard way because I have no idea how to use Photoshop to trace an illustration and then color it. After, I met up with my teacher to ask him how I was doing. He decided to show me a few things that might make my work easier. I told him what I wanted done and he showed me how to do it. Easy, I thought. Then he left. I stared at the screen of my next picture and could not remember one fucking thing he just showed me. Thirty minutes I stared and went back to the picture he did and went back to the picture I was doing and stared and stared and stared. WTF?!
I got so upset I just left crying. When I got home (35 minutes later due to traffic on 75), I was still crying and couldn't stop crying even though I was over being mad at stupid Photoshop.
I hate hormones and I hate Photoshop.

wish I had drawn this, but I don't know how to use photoshop

new stuff I made

In addition to my schoolwork and some extra credit work (and going to work), I also made some crafts this weekend, too.
I love to do crafts. Plus, a month ago I signed up on Facebook to take part in a "creative pay it forward". Six people signed up to receive stuff I made and I have been trying to think of good things to make and send to them.
First, my friend Evelyn, a swell gal and good mommy, who is going to nursing school, asked me to make a beaded thing she could put on her hospital badge. Since she's not sure if she can even have anything on her badge, I created something that can dangle behind, but still show and also be removed if need be.
here is that:

Here are the other things I made so far. They are going to be attached to an elastic band for a bookmark. I think they'll like them.

for my friend Peggy. 

for my cousin, Mary. 

Here is a picture from my old blog http://queenofeverythingelse.blogspot.com of other elastic bookmarks I made a while back:

And, last, here is a necklace I made for my friend, Carlos. I think he'll like it. I saw a version of this on some guy at school. I told him I was going to steel this idea and he smiled and said that was okay with him....then I was going to ask him out, but he was wearing a wedding ring...pphhffttt.

That's all for now, folks! Let me know if I can make something for you!

email:  vmwillis1972@yahoo.com   and put "make something for me" in the subject line.

Yes! I made the beaded lanyard in my photo!

A friend of mine from my old job back in Amarillo asked about the lanyard I was wearing in the picture of me holding my painting. (photo courtesy of my friend, Sergio, a photography student at Art Institute)

In case you didn't notice it, here is another picture:

Guess what!? I make these!! And I could make one for you. I made one for a friend of mine at school who is in Fashion Design:

Donations for these start at $25 and I have lots of beads, so just let me know what you like. They are standard lanyard length of 18 inches.
