Well my main job is actually shooting birds for the local airport.

Often on my computer coding ASP or PHP
Skinning almost everyday.

On my normal life I am married with a wonderfull man, we have a son, he is 6 years old, he is fantastic, I am proud of my little familly. We are often visiting my parents in law. They are really great persons. Life is great! Thanks God!

Real Life ™ for me is doing commercial art (which is now called computer graphics). I started in it when you worked with pens and knives and hot wax but went digital about eleven years ago. The only part I don't like is now I never have the time to do things I like to do. It's not like I'm making a lot of money either, I work twice as hard as ever before doing freelance (unemployed) work and make about half as much as I need to pay the bills... I'm slipping into financial oblivion... Making skins is the most fun thing I do, I just don't get to do it as much as I'd like.

Recreation for me is disapearing into a wilderness with my camera for a week or two... or mowing the lawn...

Wow, DavidK thinks mowing the lawn is recreational. Since hubby has let me retire, I seem to have inherited all the chores (didn't know retirement came with strings attached). I always equated retirement with being able to do all the fun things (lying in the sun, etc.), but I think someone played a joke, not at all like the movies. Seems between family (mother, daughter, grandson) life has been pretty hectic and at times I think maybe I should go back to work so I can have a settled life - just a slipping thought though. One day I came across Windowblinds, loved it, got the full package, fell in love, and decided to try skinning. Suggest downloading the great tutorials that Stardock has. Study other blinds and see how they are structured. Then start making your graphics. (If you use Skin Studio it has templates to help you create a windowblind.) Don't be afraid to experiment - it can't hurt anything. And, when you are stumped, there are a lot of friendly hands to help with any questions.

In my real life, ( ), I am a very successful Dentist with a lot of work, for many years now. Having a wonderful wife and many friends, I am having a very nice life.
In this period of my life, I prefer skinning as enjoyment and I have decrease the passively enjoyment, (as Cinema, TV and reading), because skinning is something new for me and has more fun!

There are no magical prescriptions for someone to be a skinner, everyone, can find the way to be a skinner, (even those who doesn’t know very well English ), the only thing that doesn’t allow someone to become a skinner is laziness. Laziness and skinning they never walk together.

Ok, I don't live in a dark hole and do have a life, but no have a girlfriend...

I have a good life and I have a lot of knowledge in different things. But all that knowledge means nothing right now, because I can’t get a job that involves anything I know, especially not at my age (15). I tried making a skin a few times, and I spent a good deal of time on them. Pixtudio gave me permission (after I asked) to make a skin port of Logika on Trillian. That went down the drain. I spent weeks on making it, but it was taking up all of my time, many sleepless nights, I got a Gamecube, and the goal of finishing it faded away. The only thing I can do with graphics is take someone elses work and modify it to my likeing.

I have a lot of friends that are girls though...
