Balloon Template

Bummer - I've written this post once already! I can see - too many more times of this happening and I won't be a very faithful blogger!
Anyways ... here's a template that I've worked on today - I'll give you some background to the significance of it - in the end you might not think it to be too significant - oh well!
So - the balloon ... it's a S.N.A.P.S.H.O.T. of one of the three balloons that were in the sky on the morning I had my very first balloon ride ever. A balloon ride was something that I had 'dreamed' about for quite some time and my ever clever husband (Scott) saw to it that I could see this dream fulfilled on my birthday! Well, being that my birthday is in December I didn't opt for the ride right away - I was keenly interested - but not that keenly interested! I took Carole with me on the ride - I think we both enjoyed our morning (I mean early morning). Since Carole & I had various discussions on balloon-rides and the sorts in the past I decided to give the second half of my balloon-ride excursion to Carole for her birthday this year. So it allowed us a neat opportunity - not only did we have a balloon ride together - it meant that - even though our birthdays are more than five months (and many years - sorry Carole!) apart - we had the privilege of celebrating together this time.
Another part of this template is another S.N.A.P.S.H.O.T. that I took on our balloon ride ... the Calgary skyline (if you haven't figured it out - it's in the bottom right corner of the page).
About the clouds - they're a combo of a portion of a S.N.A.P.S.H.O.T. on that day and some play-time in PhotoShop. I've built the template in such a way - that - depending on your screen resolution and whether or not you have your browser's window maximized the two clouds on the right (not behind the balloon) will 'move'.
So, that's the template for today - I'm not sure how long it'll exist on this 'blog' ... we'll see ... depends on if I get bored of this one or if I even get inspired for something 'greater' or not.
Think that about sums it up for now.

ps. I think my original post of this made more sense!
