My talented daughter . . . .a shameless plug.

I have been working on an outside blog called Blessed by Horses. It is a blog about my horse activities. It is a blog I did just for myself and I thought it would give just a little more insight as to who I am. I guess it would be my personal blog.

It isn't ready yet as I am still in the learning stage with Wordpress. You are more than welcome to check it out by clicking on the header above but it is nothing special . . yet!

What I really wanted to show you is the work my daughter did in about 15 minutes flat. She made my header for me. She is a wiz with Adobe Photo Shop and she taught herself. She is currently attending Career Line Tech Center in Holland Michigan where she is in Web Design. I wish she had a portfolio that I could direct you to but she has not gotten that far. I have encouraged her to start a new Wordpress blog so that she can start showcasing her work . . but . . alas . . Mom still knows nothing.

She graduates from high school in six months and then she will be attending Baker College where she will be majoring in Web Design and Graphic Design. Last week she went to a competition at Baker College and took a first place in Graphic Design and a 2nd place in Web Design.

She is currently designing the web site for Fusion Hair and Tanning that will be ready soon. She has shown me what she has done and it is so cool!!! When it is complete, I am going to do a blog on it. It amazes me what my little girl can do. If anyone is interested in her designing a header for you, just let me know. She said the cost would depend on what you want done.

Tami this is great! She is getting her foot in the door very early in life. The header is beautiful! And I think that is a great idea for you to have a personal blog about your horses.

You have a lot to be proud of!

Alan - You never cease to amaze me! You are very good at putting a warm feeling in my heart!

Debbie - Yes she is getting her foot in the door very young. She has always been an achiever. When she started at tech center, they didn't know what to do with her. She already knew what they were teaching. She taught herself HTML and all kinds of things. I am very proud of both my kids and I appreciate your comments very much!

Tami, Isn't it so much FUN to see our kids excel in something? My daughter has just started high school and her computer knowledge amazes me but I don't tell her that. At least not too often! I suspect she knows though considering my often heard cries for help!

Don - We are hoping she starts her career before she even gets to college. I wish we could pay for her college but that just isn't going to be able to happen. I think that once she gets a few under her belt, and she starts to listening to Mom (dreaded be) on how to market herself, she will take off!

Debi- I am thinking she is in a great profession!

Barb - It is the reason for life as far as I am concerned - to see my children suceed is the best thing since sliced bread!
