Friends and Teacher Ribbon
Saturday afternoon I sat down to check email and facebook Angela Walters sat with me to enjoy her bagel and some witty banter. She's quite funny.

Learning and drafting
Learning - a few weeks ago a Renee asked if I could fix a photo for her. She knows I have PhotoShop, that I've been playing with pictures and learning what I can do with PhotoShop. The picture is old, at least 45 years and had a huge crease running through it. I learned that… Continue reading Learning and drafting
