Gah...I don't know when I'm going to be able to make plushies again. T_T

I picked up a horrible computer virus a week ago, which completely destroyed my system. I had to get a new hard drive and rebuild it from scratch. I also had to buy a new Windows disk, since I couldn't find my old one.

The reason I can't make any plushies now is because I lost my imaging software, which I used to make faces. I've torn my house upside down, and I can't find the CD (it's probably somewhere with my old Windows CD. >_< ) I went to the software's website to find out that it now costs $80 to download. After buying a new hard drive and OS, I can't afford that at the moment. I've been trying to find a cheaper or free program, but I'm not having any luck. None of the ones I'm finding have the features I need. I need something that supports layers, and something that has a free selection tool (one that you can click as you select...not one that you have to hold the mouse button down the entire time you select the area...my hand isn't steady enough for that). So, if anybody knows about a program like that, please let me know!

Otherwise, plushies are on hold indefinitely. T_T
