aingeal8c tagged me for this one.

1. Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).
2.Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V). If you wish, you can “edit” the image before saving it.
3. Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.
4. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well.

I can never get the Print Scrn key method to work for me, but I found freeware that does ths same thing.



I tag, hmm. This part's hard! aphephobia, naadi, bjohan57, scriggle, eltonroo.

Also anyone else who wants to do it. More fun than you'd ever thought you'd have with your monitor!

Here's my pic:




Background picture: I think I stole it from Andrea Scher's site. Or perhaps a site which I visited as a result of Andrea. I like it because it's so colourful and I like orange. I'm deep like that.
I have many icons and folders - mostly fandom related on the desktop as otherwise I file things away and never find them again. 'Real life' is in folders, which is where I prefer to put things like that as I think of my home computer only as escapism. At the moment, I have the three passchen. clips, some The North This Week files which I put on my mp3 player as I commute, and a few episodes of My Favourite Husband.

...and see, I could never have a picture of Paul as my desktop - particularly those from the passchendaele set - as my husband can always tell when I've licked the screen.

Ooh, pretty! I don't know Andrea, or even of her. Enlighten?

I like orange in nature. Human-made orange, not so much, with exceptions. My friend Sandra has these glorious deep, rich orange sheer drapes. *covets*

otherwise I file things away and never find them again.

That's my problem. My desktop is neat and tidy but my folders are like Fibber McGee's closet. I just hate clutter on my desktop. Which is strange because my house is in a constant state of OMG CLEAN IT NOW.

I usually change my desktop picture like I change my mind (sometimes several times a day) but this one's been up for weeks because it's so pretty.

The next one will also be pretty, when I get around to changing it:

That's also very pretty!


Andrea is Andrea Scher - superhero, jewellery maker, photographer and artist extraordinaire, and one of the most inspiring people I have ever come across.

Here is her main site: http://www.superherodesigns.com/index.html

and here is her journal: http://www.superherodesigns.com/journal/
(Ben is her little boy who came along after many years of trying).

I have one of her neckalaces. I wear it every day and it always makes me feel better.

That's also very pretty!

I'm beginning to think my OTP is Centre Block/me. I've been known to sit and stare at these pictures. When I was actually in the building I'm surprised they didn't cart me off to the nearest Crazy Person's Home.

And oh, pretty jewellery! I'll have to look through the site when I get back from my fiddle class. :)
