Yes, we had a cat café, but it was in a rather inconvenient location and could only be reached by high concrete stairs in a built-up passage on the second floor. So not visible to walk-in customers. I was there once alone (found it as an advertisement in the regional newspaper) and once with a friend. They had eight cats, but they only came to us when the owner gave us treats for the cats to get them to come to us. The lack of customers and therefore money due to the lockdown ruined the owner's dream. The property owner now wants to start something new. The cats are now in the animal shelter and some have already been placed privately.  Which is a shame. 😹

Hi all,

I can't remember my toys before I was 6, but after that - it was post-war - we children mostly played outdoors or with household objects. There was no money in our large family for toys and children's books. The grandparents usually only gave us useful things, like clothes. We played almost exclusively with small toys, marbles, cards and balls, which we bought at fairs for little money. I then did a lot of drawing with my school supplies (my dream career at the time was "fashion illustrator"😁) or cutting out jewelry from catalogs. I loved reading and always devoured my new school books at the beginning of a new school year. It was only in a children's treatment that I learned beautiful fairy tale books I know, see Scrap. Things were getting better for us in the mid-1960s, then Legos, a melodica and knitting toys and the TV came along. I never had dolls, more like living "baby dolls". From the age of 6 I had to work as a co-teacher act...

Today my husband and I fondly remember our childhood toys and adventures in nature. I think by playing in nature we have trained our imagination much more and been able to live out our urge to move.

Good Morning all,

we have been against it since the daylight saving time change began. You can see where people are headed when they disregard God's orders (including natural laws) and want to change them for economic reasons. Nothing has changed in our well-being, but the “experts” believe that it has made little or no difference in terms of energy consumption. But if you have several animals, you will notice the change in their biorhythm.

 But which politicians want to admit they were wrong and change it again? Here in Germany the change is on March 30th/31st.
This is where the clocks are changed in Germany:

my mask lesson 3
It represents a lantern with an animated snow globe, as an outdoor decoration of a Scandinavian wooden restaurant, which is set up on our festival site from November to February.

Hi,

here is my mask lesson 2
Photos and backgrounds by me, photo doodle MS Marisa Lerin

Hello,
at the moment I'm a bit burdened privately and can hardly concentrate on my exercises. But I'm currently translating the tutorial PDFs so that I can use them when I no longer have access to the mask workshop in the forum.

Have a nice Weekend.🌼

Good evening,

phew, I don't understand why working in the layers is so complicated in PSP? In PI and PS you can work with each individual level separately. I don't understand what "floating" means and why you should constantly move a layer somewhere in between. That's when you get on your nerves. I was able to easily insert and edit the small photos in PI as a PSD file. I hope that the end result should look like this.

Titel: Girls & Horses

Hello everyone🙋‍♀️,

I'm also there now because I also want to use the masks in PSP. I can already do it in PI. I just need challenges in order to learn as daily as possible so that it sticks in my head.

Thank you Carole💞 , for all the learning opportunities and making the material available

I have now received the first three lessons, translated and now I'll do one and, if I'm not tired yet, the second lesson to catch up. Here in Germany it's only 2 p.m.

Doska, that is a very amusing story! 😆 The description of the wedding dress sounds much like the maid-of-honor at Will's wedding. Here she is with the drum. The bride is on the left and the groom on the right. The officiant is just behind her.

Hi Ann,

 for me this is a wedding with a touch of nature, everyone is wearing cheerful colors, the bride is still in white, I can still tolerate that for a wedding, but the wedding I described was in the early 90s and the bride was in black ( I was once offered an embroidered black dress at a bazaar in Egypt, something Bedouin women wore, I had long black hair back then ;)) it shocked me a bit, despite the fact that I have a live and let live attitude.

As "sad" as the marriage began, it will probably end, she is in the final stages of MS and have 3 children (grown)

Thank you Ann for your story, is it summer and i think very entertaining (?) but my story....

The bride wore a black, oriental dress with red cross-stitch embroidery on the top and we were served totally inedible African food. We said goodbye early because of the long journey home... and ate our fill at a highway service station at Burger King on the way🍔🥪🍟🍕 😄

I have already experienced such a wedding...right down to the unusual food...from a German couple from the married family...

Hi,

I've been working on the Masterclass video cutout today because I love cutout design so much. I'm still having a bit of a problem with the buttons. And I actually got the beginning right first time. So that it doesn't look so boring, I framed it a bit.

Hi Carole,

here I am again with the next malfunction🙄:
The buttonholes worked (I had forgotten to remove the eye of the 2nd circle last time) only the next step - Innerbevel didn't work either. Maybe you see the error on the screen?

Thank you, Doska. I thought about you when I added so many elements. You know I seldom use any.

Yes, that's exactly why 😄 But it looks good😍. There don't have to be many.
