Description

Both of these images were taken several years ago. I'm still taking lessons on CS4 but I have to have the lesson open to remember all the steps that have to be taken. I can't retain them in this pea brain of mine! :-( LOL

Have a wonderful day!!! :-)

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE JANUARY 2010 FINALISTS!!!
