Hello, hello, hello. I can't believe the weekend is over and the work week once again starts tomorrow. I hope the weather holds on... tho it wasn't anywhere near the mid 80's of yesterday it was still a good day.
The benefit last night was very nice. Several hundred people showed up and it was nice to see people who had left the company and moved on to other things. One even came back from Baltimore specifically for our friend. There were about 150 baskets for the Chinese auction and I was lucky enough to win one. A smaller basket filled with lotions and body soap. LOL I will be giving it to my sons girlfriend. I actually put tickets in for her :) For those that don't know about a Chinese auction, it is a great money maker if you have a benefit. Folks donate baskets. Could be filled with anything, and can be any size. The baskets last night probably ranged from$10-$15 to over $100. You sell tickets, the buyer keeps one half and the other half goes into the bin for the basket of your choice. The tickets then just get picked... if your number matches, bingo you win the prize. I'm thinking they made a good chunk of money to help with the soaring bills, and that is what it's all about. She was able to make it... looked good. Tired, but good.
I used a scrap kit on the above tag. Feel free to snag it. I saw it, and thought it was so damn cute. All digital scrap kits I've come across are compatible with PSP. I love using Paint Shop Pro for it's versatility. I can edit and create for my own pictures as well as make tags with or without animation. For animation I do need another program, but it's perfect for me. I've seen and heard several folks looking for programs to use with their digital camera's. I guess it totally depends on what you want to do or accomplish. I am limitedin my knowledge of other programs and if you can add tubes, embellishments, or scrap designs. I suggest you ask around and figure out what you want :) If you have questions on PSP feel free to ask, though I am not the expert I will do my best to answer.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Hugs

I just love frogs, and this one is adorable!
Your paint shop pro...is that Corel? That's what I have, but I never see anyway to make some of the pretty things that you do.

I've never been to a Chinese Auction, slthough I have heard of them. Seems like "Silent Auctions" are mostly done around here. But, then Clearwater/Palm Harbor is separated from the rest of the world by Tampa. No kiddding, when I moved here medically this area was 5-10 yrs behind the rest of the country. congrats on getting a basket..I imagine its posssilbe for people to get more than one. Thank you for you help witht the PSP. I didn't think I'd be interested in digital scrapbooking, but the kits have lots of cute papers and doo-dads and all the colors coordinate. : ) Bethe
