No, Cathie, I don't think the other work has changed much because of the diary pieces... well, let me take that back! I can do pick and pick with ease within tapestry now... that's a change... so in that sense, yes.
Have fun with the process and post what you're doing with it, too. And, if you want to join in a private blog I have going about the daily work, let me know and I'll send an invitation through blogspot to you.
