My day 5 project. I took the cruise ship pic at night while on a different shop.

I got to thinking. The photo that is my backdrop was taken close to the town of Lahaina Maui. That was the town that was totally destroyed in the big wildfire last year. While I wish we could go back to Hawaii again (we can't) I don't think I would have the heart to see the devastation from that fire.

Day 4 Photos are mine. I played with this one a long time figuring out what picks to use etc. Oh well I had fun.

DU ! Thanks for catching my typo.

Day 3 Photos are mine. Preset shape used for box is one Cassel shared with us called Gems. The text for the title is cooperplate gothic light.

I used this for day 1 & 2

The background photo and the the St Clare statue with tree are mine.

I don't have out side decorations except for the pumpkins I put out as soon as they are available cheap before Halloween. Unless the squirrels decide to decorate them for me I leave them up until after Thanksgiving. I usually set them on my covered porch after that and when we get a pretty good snow, I take them out into the yard and break them open so the squirrels can eat the seeds and sometime quite a bit of the flesh too. I don't put up my inside Christmas deco up until after Thanksgiving and they come down right after the new year. That time frame started when we worked at some places that we had to set up for, (and sometime work at) Christmas parties & clean up from the next day. That week after Christmas was our time to enjoy our own deco.

I am considering this also. Can it be downloaded to an external drive instead of my PC hard drive? That way I can just transfer the ones I want to my PC.

I don't remember how I got interested in tatting in my teens but I did. I asked my Aunt who was great at crocheting and many other crafts if she tatted. She said no but her Aunt had tried to teach her when she was about my age, but said Aunt Stella finally threw up her hands and said she made more knot mistakes than Aunt Stella could undo. I talked Aunt Stella into showing me how to do it, and bought a how to book. When I picked up on it pretty good, Aunt Stella gave me the tatting shuttle that was her Mothers. That would be my Great Grandmother's. I used it for a long time and then it broke. I still have it wrapped up in my jewelry box with a note saying who it belonged to. I haven't done any tatting in a few years, partly because no one I know would have any interest in what I created. Here is a butterfly I tatted for my Sister.

I was 5ft tall. My "Ace: was 13.2 hands. ( I think), it has been close to 50years ago when I finally sold him to get a bigger horse. None of the others I have had ever had my heart like my little Ace though, He had quite a personality. As far as my collections, most were ell cheap-o's. LOL

As a kid I was totally HORSE CRAZY. I collected anything to do with horses, figurines, pictures, books, you name it. For my 8th grade graduation my dad bought me a horse, well he was at that size right between being a pony and and a horse which was the perfect size for me (5ft tall). Dad built a small one horse barn where he could get in out of the weather with a small corral attached. It was my job to feed and take care of him. I don't think I ever saw him go in that stall except when I fed him. I remember seeing him with icicles hanging from his mane and several inches of snow on his back.

I know that you do, and are happy with it. I need to talk to my computer guys that I got this one from. I know they had some trouble getting some of my files off the old one, so maybe they will have an idea what to do. Maybe something didn't make it to my new PC. I at least have fontcloud to save my fonts to, and I downloaded Nexusfont but did not think I would like it, but I guess I will work on that one some more to see if I can get my head around it. I have read your tutorial on it a few times but I didn't think I would like the set up.

Nov/11/2024 is Veterans Day in the United states and I made this. The background if from digitalscrapbook. The flag is from one of my photos. The part in the middle was adjusted from one I got on the internet.

Thanks for the reply. I did that but now get a notice saying This app can't run on your PC check with the software publisher. I guess I am out of luck. I tried downloads from several different places and they all said the same thing. Oh well it was worth a try. I am sure that file name extension advice will be helpful for other things.
