Updates-Desktop Calendars, stationery-new formats, wallpaper-new size

Hi everyone. I know I haven't posted for awhile but I've been busy! I got onto my new Win7 computer a couple of weeks ago and getting used to it, getting programs working, etc. I have a lot of December desktop calendars for you and some January ones already as well.  Desktop Calendars
 I rewrote my Stationery Usage tutorial as I found some differences in Win 7, mainly because there's no Outlook Express. Windows Live Mail in Windows 7 can not use stationery. I am now offering my stationery in a zip file for Outlook and Thunderbird and any other program that uses stationery. You simply unzip it to the correct folder (as outlined in my tutorial).  I may not offer my new and edited stationery in eml format any more as I have no way of making it without Outlook Express. But I am trying out a new free program called Mokum Mail Lite that can use Incredimail stationery and may allow me to make eml format, I have to figure out how to use it when I get a few minutes. For these reasons, at the moment, my newest stationery and ones I edit that have to be redone for copyright, etc, will be offered in Incredimail (imf), Outlook Express (self-extracting exe or zip format), Outlook and Thunderbird (zip format) and possibly eml format for Windows Vista Mail.
 I have also added the netbook/tablet size wallpaper to the Christmas Wallpaper and Winter Wallpaper pages.
 I think that's it for now!
 Have a great night!

Halloween stationery and wallpaper back online, many new ones

Hi everyone. I've been working very hard the last few days and have my Halloween Wallpaper and Halloween Stationery pages back online. I didn't want to go another year without them being back for you. This means that all of my holiday and all of my seasonal pages are back online. Some of the Halloween items are also new so you'll find some of them on the New Stationery and New Wallpaper pages as well. Even those that aren't new are completely redone and fixed up to my more experienced standards than when I first made them. I also have a new October Desktop Calendar with a Halloween theme uploaded.
 Go check them out! I hope you like them!

 I have my new computer but have put off getting my things on it and using it till these pages were done. And - OK - for some reason I'm finding Windows 7 intimidating even thought I haven't tried it yet. Getting old I guess, hubby pointed out that I used to love trying new stuff, now I find myself resistant.
 Find myself enjoying the comfortable more than the challenges! Kick me someone. LOL
 Have a great day,

new autumn wallpaper, stationery, Nov calendar; Autumn wallpaper and stationery pages back online

Hi everyone. I've just finished and uploaded my re-edited Autumn Wallpaper and Autumn Stationery pages. Everything on the pages is either new or completely redone, and up to copyright compliant standards. I've also made and uploaded a new stationery, wallpaper, and November desktop calendar called "I Love Fall" using art ©Rachael Tallamy. I hope you like all of the new stuff!

I want to get to work on the Halloween pages and get them back online but my new computer may come today and I have to clean out my email program, I have thousands of emails with attachments that I have to snag and delete the emails, so I probably should get to work on that. I love getting a new computer but don't quite love as much all of the backing up of program data, then reinstalling, getting it all back up and running to my specific needs, etc. Lots of work! And I always end up forgetting to install something until I need it then cursing and moaning as now I have to go and install something before I can continue. The end result will be worth it though, I'm getting a great new computer. But that's what I said about the last one till I found out it wasn't quite as great as I needed! Let's hope this one lives up to my expectations.
Have a great day!

Hi there! I've uploaded another back to school set of wallpaper, stationery and September desktop calendar.
This one's called - wait for it! - Back 2 School! LOL
New Stationery
New Wallpaper
Desktop Calendars
This was a tutorial I wrote while camping (no internet), only to find once I got home that neither the kit or the word art was available any longer, so no tut for this one. Some of the kit elements were pretty unique so I couldn't find another one that would suit the tut.
Now off to see whatever site chores need to be done. I've got a few more tuts to assemble and put online but maybe I'll get my Autumn and Halloween pages back online first. See what mood hits me.
Take care,
Hugs, Ellie

New tutorial, Goodbye Summer, new wallpaper, stationery, Sept desktop calendar

3 more calendars, stationery, wallpaper and a personal note

Hi everyone. I've added 3 more summer themed wallpapers, stationeries and desktop calendars to those pages.
Find them here:

I wanted to take a moment here to pay tribute to my dear friend, Ellen "Ellie" Lennen, who passed away June 20, 2011. We were online friends for 6 years and were in contact every day, often many times a day, by email, and she was a wonderful person. I got an email from her on June 20 and didn't hear back again for days, so I started emailing her asking if she was ok, finally I started calling over a number of nights with no answer.
With a lot of trepidation and a heavy heart I started looking for her local newspapers last night and found her obituary, she died the same day she wrote me last. I don't know what happened but I am totally grief-stricken. And I am so sorry that I never got on the phone to her when she was alive, as I kept meaning to. So if you have an online friend you keep meaning to call, please do it. Someday it may be too late.
I will miss her so much and I'll never have the opportunity to hear her voice now.
Hugs, Ellie

Computer keeps crashing. Actually my monitor goes black with all dancing colored pinpoints of color. I think that's called colored static noise or something like that. Sometimes my screen comes back but all the buttons, etc are funny, sometimes it doesn't.
I've had to turn my computer off twice today and leave it off for awhile. Once I was almost done a wallpaper and had failed to save, of course the screen goes black and doesn't come back. GRRRR
Might be time to start thinking of a new computer!
Have a great night everyone.

2 July Desktop Calendar up-Canada Day stationery and wallpaper pages uploaded

Hi everyone. Been having computer problems and spent the last week in mortal combat with my computer to see who would win my big hard drive, the one with all of my kits, templates, etc on it. I WON!! Finally. And didn't lose too much either.
Anyway, I'm running behind on everything now.
I've just uploaded the first two July Desktop Calendars, both are for Canada Day or any patriotic Canadians. They aren't necessarily just for Canada Day.
I also put up my Canada Day wallpaper page, again that wallpaper can be used any time of year, and the matching stationery is up on my new Canada Day stationery page.
Tomorrow I'll work on some more Desktop Calendars and also work on getting my July 4th stationery page up (I thought it already was!). My July 4th wallpaper page is already up.
Have a great day! Happy Canada Day tomorrow to my fellow Canadians.

New July 4th tutorial for PSP and PhotoImpact

Hi everyone. Believe it or not I wrote 3 tutorials while I was gone camping last week! I just loved it, I've been wanting to get back to tut writing for quite awhile but kept thinking I had to get the rest of the site uploaded first. But then while I was gone just decided to get started. Kind of difficult as I had no internet connection and had to rely heavily on my memory (never a good thing) to make sure to use supplies where the sites were still open. It worked this time, they were all open!
I have the first one uploaded, it's called Proud to be an American and you can probably tell it's a July 4th tut, but if you take off the Happy 4th word art, you can just be Proud to be an American! I wrote it for both PSP and PhotoImpact.

I hope you like it! I'll try and get the other 2 done and uploaded in the next couple of days. One's a summer one and one is . . . well . . . just a girly one!
I have to get some desktop calendars started this week too as we are going camping again next week.I'll make up the stationery and wallpaper to match this tag also.
Have a great day and I hope you enjoy the tut!

New page on my site - My Favorite Software

Hi everyone. I've just added a new page to my site where I will share info about my favorite software. It's a page I've been planning for awhile, in response to questions I've received from site visitors about what software I use most often. I have lots of freeware and very inexpensive shareware that I use every day.
I've just added my first entry to that page and hope to add to it soon.
I just found a wonderful new computer Calendar to replace an old outdated one I was using. It's called Efficient Calendar and you can find my review here. I just love it! Check out my info and see if you like it too!
Hopefully I'll be back to you soon with some new stuff. I have some summer tags made, I just need to make them into my "stuff"! LOL

Hi everyone. A snowy blustery day here today, a good day to stay inside!
I've just uploaded my Love & Romance Wallpaper page, with lots of new and updated wallpaper. Some of it is on the New Wallpaper page but take a look at the Love & Romance page, most of it is so reworked that it's brand new!
I'll work on getting the matching Love & Romance stationery page done next. The hard part is done, making the tags and the tiles, which is what I do when I make the wallpaper, so now I just have to assemble it, convert it to Outlook Express and eml formats, do the thumbnails and upload it! Whew, come to think of it, that's a lot of work too! LOL
Have a great night everyone.

After I've finished with this new Valentine tag, I'll start working on the Valentine Stationery page so I can complete and upload it as well. Then it will be on to what? St Pat's I guess! Then Easter and Spring. The work never ends! LOL
I also wanted to thank everyone that donated to my site. I really appreciate it. Even a couple of bucks helps. I've applied it to my webhosting and I think I'll buy some Anna Marine tubes to make more beautiful stuff for you all! I love her art.

January and February calendars, tuts back online

Woohoo, my first post of the new year.
Hi everyone. I haven't posted but I've been busy the last two weeks. I have almost all of the tutorials, both mine and translated, back online. The only translated tuts left to do are the stationery tutorials (which are all PSPIartes tuts) and my own stationery tuts. I left them till last as many of the tubes will have to be edited out and replaced with copyright safe ones.
I have my Creating Desktop Wallpaper tut left to redo and my Stationery Design tut. I have my frame tuts back up, 2 completely, one still has to be done in PSP and PS but the PI is done, and one has to be done for all programs yet. I think that is it for the tuts. Maybe I can start writing new tuts again once my site is whipped back into shape.
Tutorial Index
I've got many January and February desktop calendars online now and still working on more February ones as I am working on my Valentine wallpaper and stationery pages. For January I also have a summer one for my overseas site visitors from the other side of the world! Keep checking back as I'm adding calendars almost every day as I work. Once the Valentine pages are whipped into shape, they'll be uploaded as well and I'll let you know when that is.

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season!
