Ever have one of those moments you do something and then the second you do it you realize 'oh no!' In computerese this 'oh no!' generally happens after you hit close and save changes only to realize--at the moment you watch the work disappear from the screen. I had one of those moments just a few moments ago. Guess who forgot to save the part of the job that would save him from completely rebuilding the sports memory mate from scratch? Go ahead guess!!!! Now I have opened up a fresh box of tissues and begun to wipe away my tears and will start on the next girl on the teams' memory mate and this time save it in the proper stages that I need to. Its not a total loss, I do have a the team cutout saved luckily and I think I might want to improve upon a couple things and add a little more texture and depth in the flat yellow and blue areas and this will help overall I think--and in order to do that I pretty much have to start over anyway!

Luckily I still have a near full box of tissues, my instincts and good habits helped me out of a jam. I actually only lost a few steps that were pretty easy to fix and I was able to determine a way to add some of the layering and depth I had hoped to afterall. So the amount of time the rest will take now will be significantly less than previously thought---though I'm still looking at quite a bit of time for each.
