I am a Zazzler!

Wow! I really need to get a new one of them all!)

I am Gina and I have been married for over 23 years. My husband and I are the proud parents of 5 children, ages 22, 21, 17, 15, and 10. (10-27-09 Update - It's been 24 years and our children are now 23, 22, 18, 16, & 11).

Since I was a child, I have loved to doodle... On notebook paper, napkins, etc. When graphic programs were developed, I began using them to doodle. I spent any spare time I could find for myself sitting at my computer, doodling, and filling up my hard drive for what seemed to be no reason at all.

One day, in 2007, I finally decided to do something with those doodles and I came across Zazzle. I have been there eversince placing my designs on products and feeling very accomplished! I feel even more accomplished when products with my designs sell!

Most of the designs in my galleries are mine. In my main gallery, though, I use (with persmission) images my children have drawn and/or pictures my children have taken or appeared in. The ones featuring my children are, in most cases, altered in one way or another.

My niece, a photographer, also allows me to use some of her images and I do credit her.

I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet to create my designs in programs such as ArtRage 2.5, Ultra Fractal 5, Paint Shop Pro 9, Corel Draw 4, Corel Painter Essentials 4, Photoshop Elements 6, Apophysis 2, and Apophysis 208 Beta.
