(Of course, he almost certainly hasn't read any of my readers' fabulous blogs!)<br /><br />The thousand? Adobe Photoshop is my friend. <br />I collected a whole lot of screen shots off a random selection of my posts. Then I wrote a white '1000' in a nice fat font on a black page and kept that as a separate layer. Then I copied and pasted and shrunk all the little images all over the 1000 numerals, not worrying if they went over the edges a bit. If they overlapped, I made sure that the one I wanted in front was there. I rubbed out any bits I didn't want to overlap.<br />Then when all were in position I turned all the images into one layer. <br />Then I went back to the first '1000' layer and used the magic wand tool to select only the black background, transferred this selection to my images layer, and rubbed out all the edges that were hanging over.<br />Then the two layers were flattened together. Done.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-35834503831485274932012-09-09T09:20:14.897+12:002012-09-09T09:20:14.897+12:00Welcome to you too Carolyn.

Quite an achievement. Isn't it great to read back over your posts and see how you've chroniciled your life over the last few years. <br />I have heard you can get your blog posts printed in a book and I used to think it was silly but I've come around to thinking I might quite like it. I certainly would hate to lose my blog and all the posts with it.<br />Cheers<br />PS. That thousand is really clever.

May or may not be able to post while I'm away, but will certainly have some stories and pikkies when I get home. Catch ya then!<br /><br />Oh and the shower's been leaking - majorly - under the wall and under the kitchen lino, and behind the kitchen unit and stove - major disaster zone! Lots of action with plumbers and builders here next week, plus a dinner party for seven. <br /><br />Also forgot to mention I'm flying to Australia in three week's time too. Melbourne and Adelaide. <br /><br />Don't I have fun!?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-55811110285964002932012-09-05T22:19:54.116+12:002012-09-05T22:19:54.116+12:00Congratulations!

I think you're a bit like me in that when I set out on the blogging "journey" I had no idea how long it would last and didn't really expect that after seven years I'd still be churning out posts. Just checked my "stats" and I see I have produced 1102 posts.... Here's to the next thousand!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-15755687802217562482012-09-05T05:38:54.079+12:002012-09-05T05:38:54.079+12:00Congratulations!
