Thank you.  I did not save my files.  I left the files opened last night and will see if I can save now.  If not, I will redo my sandwich before going on and upload.  The sandwich video stopped without saving and so I stopped there, too.  Good laugh on me - so simple.  Thank you for reminding me to use the  jpg file to upload.

Glad you managed to get it sorted.

I prefer a light workspace and for things to be as uncluttered as possible – if they’re not I am always clicking the wrong thing!

Glad you joined us Sharla.  I'm thinking of going to a lighter workspace like yours.  I'm starting to like it and it my dark space wont influence the appearance of the colors in the layouts (I watched a PSE video where they talked about that).

Here is my current workspace. One reminder, go to File/Workspace and Save it in case you have a problem after customizing. You'll also notice, I don't use big thumbnails on my layers. I u sually end up with a lot and just placing my mouse over the layer palette will reveal what is on each layer.

Wow, that's an impressive super organized layers palette.  I'm jealous!

Awesome Bee, you are first "on the table" with your sandwich, which looks yummy!  Glad to have you aboard for the bootcamp.

That's just me dithering to encourage the left side of my brain to get creative.

Here's my photo of my mother - taken about 1939 that I will be using.

My workspace: I prefer a dark background and have customized my space to make some of the commands one-click. I have also bound some of my favorite scripts next to the script output. I also save the custom workspace since sometimes things go crazy, and I have to reload.

Here's my yummy sammy.  I like pickles and tomatoes(mine had "toes" - honest) so I had some on the side.  Also, some tea in a demitasse cup with a teeny tiny cute little spoon.  As I am practicing my levitation techniques today, my setting is floating in mid-air....going to be a challenge trying to cut my sammy (because I'm levitating too!).  But I'm up for it.  That's my story and I'm not sticking it, because I'll forget it in 10 minutes.🤪

hard to type when I'm levitating, forgot a space, even though I'm literally floating in it right now.

Cool!

My table with my favorite drink--cappuccino, favorite kosher dill pickles and ham sandwhich with tomato, lettuce, cheese and onion. The plate, coffee, pickle, napkin with tableware is from Adobe Express. The bread texture is a PSE style. The ham, lettuce, onion and tomato are from Canva. The wood background is from one of my photos.

[Ann Seeber]

Here's my layers exercise: a table with lunch ready. The book is from a magazine workshop treated to the open book script.

Here is my Open face Reuben sandwich and a totally St Patric's Day theme for the table too.

Nice to see so many familiar faces and I'm almost sorry I really don't have time enough to take this bootcamp on as well. I have my upcoming trip and I like to finish the Build a Kit before I fly away. The same goes for the AlphabetPhoto Challenge; I have planned a photo session for tomorrow to take the photos for the coming letters and now (this evening) our oven brook down. So tomorrow it will be a trip to the shops for a new one...... But I will check here once in a while and see what you all are doing.

Your utensils turned out really nice.  I like the book.

Day 2
I have finally finished my sandwich. I used a few free png downloads for the ingredients. 
I thought I would add some butter on the top slice that would be spread and turned upside down to create the top slice.
I also wanted to use a tray and found one that is a wooden sign, who doesn't use anything for a tray?
I added a soft frame because the sides of the 'tray' are cut off.

Oh that's to bad about the oven.  Mine is on it's last legs too, and the fridge sounds like a semi truck at idle.  I'm still trying to find an F object.

Film would be a great one for you...if you have any old film around. Otherwise, fish, frog, fork, french horn, feather, foliage, just to start with 

[Sharla]

My sandwich. I tried to be ‘good’ and just use the supplied elements but I couldn’t resist making some changes. I downloaded some pngs – onion slices, tomato, bamboo placemat, water melon, and a cheese slice.  I did keep the lettuce, plate, cup and cutlery so a hybrid creation!

Here's my project for Lesson 3.  Did learn quite a bit going through the lesson yesterday.   My mother loved the wild birds.  The Spring kit was certainly appropriate for her.  Hope everyone is having a great day!

OMG! Yes! these are great, I have all of the mentioned words except the French horn.  I know (*GASP*), how can I be the only one alive who doesn't have a French horn?  I had wanted to do this rather funky bathroom hardware that came with this house as it is a 'fleur de lis' motif, but I'm really trying to stick to one word.  You have given me some ideas and I will be using one of your words...if it works out.  (I cant believe that I didn't think of 'film' when I love photography and I used to be a photo lab printer back in the 'film' days).

Bee, your mother is so beautiful.
