Almost Done

Whew!!
I'm still setting this up but have got quite a bit done in one day. I'll have stamps up and a few other sidebar items tomorrow and then it's off to tut land I go. I'll have some masks and a template or 10 by the end of the weekend. It's slow going until the layout and stuff is finished. I'm looking forward to sitting back with a cup of coffee and getting into Gimp for you. I cannot wait for things to fall together...hopefully by Monday the latest.
