No barf bags.....if you get sick, we will throw you overboard! Reminds me of the funny movie “Overboard”.

Oh I hope she doesn’t mind my posting one once in awhile.

I can tell you without reservation that Amy welcomes everyone's contributions here. Please do keep posting your creations. Can't have too much beautiful artwork hanging around! (In fact, if she finds out that you do graphic artwork, I wouldn't be surpised if she doesn't enlist your help with her opening graphics. And that is fine with me! Can't have too many helpers here.)

I use Adobe PhotoShop/CS because my husband and I use it in our photography business. I still haven't discovered everything that amazing program can do. I tend to find functions and effects that I like and use them over and over.

This has been a fun day on here....I’m sorry I couldn’t have been on longer but if I don’t get caught up on my work, they will kick me out of the neighborhood. I’ll be back when I can. And I will be looking for all the wonderful things I always find on here!

I want to give up this housekeeping job of mine and be a professinal Freeper someday! LOL!

Yes, she did say she “garnished” the top with cherries. I wasn’t paying attention again. ;-)

Go to the store. LOL

Lambs have short little stubby tails. Oh, well - I guess they could be large opossums.................;-)

This is only if they have their tails docked -- perhaps in Spain they do not dock the lambs tails. Anyway, does anyone know why the do that?

Opossums indeed - bite your tongue girl... :)

LOL, yes you’d probably fall asleep and forget what you were doing before that. ;)

Just kidding, I know you must put quite a bit of work into those PPP’s. Now,...that would drive me mad!

I’m glad everyone is accounted for. I looked and looked. ;)

Well thank you for your welcome, but I may be a little light on the Graphics stuff. I haven’t done much of it in the last few years.

I use Vue 6 for the pic I posted. Been using it for about three years and I’m still a novice. I love the program, but it’s very buggy and can test your patience.

I use PhotoImpact 10 for other work. I have PS, but I only use it for some stuff, never could get into it much. It’s a high learning curve for this old lady.

I will do what I can to help if ever, but don’t know if my talents are that high. You do some pretty fantastic work on here.

Speaking of work....my husband just came home with an IPOD Nano for me. Oh dear, I’d better get out my techy glasses, and download ITunes. :)

An IPOD Nano? You are pretty with it for a "grannie". LOL. I'm a grannie too and I know nuthin' about how those IPODs work. I barely learned how to use all the functions on my cell phone. That was a really steep learning curve for me. LOL!

Thank you Meg. Here's one I did earlier in the week.

Now I'm off to watch the debate. I hope it keeps me awake for awhile. ;)

Oh I know nothing about the IPODS, or cell phones, lol. It does seem that these IPODS are pretty simple to run tho. I already have the dock for it, as my son recommended it for the price at the time. It has a radio, which I needed, (have to listen to RUSH while I’m sewing) so now I’ll have it for toons for when we play cards.

Isn’t life wonderful? Cookout tomorrow, so I may be tied up for the day, but see you soon.

In one of my crazy emails, I suggested slicing marachino cherries, patting them with paper towels and place on the pineapple, instead of on top of the cool whip. Thats the way I will do it, I think!

I am trying to watch the Olympics and the debates of McCain and Obama on Fox, MSNBC, and CNN, I think! And I just got back from grocery store.....I’m whipped!

Meg, I must hand it to you. You consistently find beautiful pictures to post, be it this scene, or Post #1631, or your flowers. Kudos.

Welcome to P&P, Grannie. You too have found some excellent scenes--and all nicely framed.
