Today I thought I'd try a hand at Photoshop after watching an online tutorial involving 5 different steps with new layers and editting flaws, blemishes, dodging and burning techniques. As I suspected, I am giga noob at photoshop. But I guess it's also because the techniques apparently require a white background which I don't have so maybe the effects didn't come off like they're supposed to anyway... after about an hour of clicking around this is all I could do ): make my skin paler.
OTL why am I such a fail ?

Today we'll take a look at what arrived in the mail :D
Nah, kidding, I can't show you ): they're the christmas presents I ordered, as much as I would like to show you all the ahmoiiizzing gifts I found, I guess I can't show them until Christmas itself ): hang in there guys only 10 days away~
So that giant box contained this
whut? Such a huge box for this?
There was actually another item in there but it broke because they sent 6 little items in such a massive box without stuffing it or wrapping any thing in bubble wrap, except the most sturdy item which is metal and least likely to break. Logic.
Welpp.. the 24hour customer service has kindly shipped a brand new item even though only part of it was damaged, I get a whole new one! Yay! This website is actually really good, love their service! Will divulge next time.
(Yesterday) Fueled up on $1 Frozen Fanta and $2 XL Frozen Coke from Hungry Jacks and time for some gift-wrapping!
Some how my wrapping skills must have deteriorated over time .. the first gift I wrapped was in a box-shape. ._. but in my defense I was using shitty foil paper, NEVER AGAIN.
As you can see my attempt at making some folded pattern failed and I had to undo it. D:
and the back is no better.. -______- gad I hate foil
It looked so bad I tried to remedy it with some ribbons
Red and Gold because that's our Christmas tree theme at home. But it kinda looks terrible together. Sorreh Neil ):
Present 2 was in a cylindrical box, so .. I guess I did a better job of it because it is harder to wrap a round object anyway.
The base is still awful awful awful. Sorreh Kiara D:
Huzzahh ! Our xmas tree has presents underneath it now! :D
(Neil said he bought mine today YAY!)
Time to move on to the Bowmans' prezzies but horror of horrors! I was conned by K-Mart! It's clear cello not Silver Wrapping ! D: Had to get silver because (Read Here! -- Bowman Xmas Deco)
Went out again and got a Pearl-coloured wrapping paper, close enough! and NON-FOIL!
My gift-wrapping skills suddenly became superior today! First one for Kate and Chris :3 (Zac's sister and bro-in-law)
Suuuuggoooiiiii ~ Look at dem tight corners
Then for Zac's papa
Then for Zeeeeek, lubbu of my laifu, my honeydarlinggguuuuu ♥♥♥
Don't know why all the gifts are box-shaped already :o Lucky me!
One more prezzie to go when it arrives that is :o
I think I need to watch some tutorials before wrapping next time T_T
