Dear Fifi. Thank you dear for the lovely good luck graphic. Unicorns are beautiful creatures.

I have so enjoyed my days with our 6 Musketeer ladies. My UBIEE friends are so encouraging. Thank you for your friendship and helping me along the way. I hope the 6 of us prosper magically!!!

God Bless you Fifi.

Love, Pat

A beautiful inspiration from Jill

A Beautiful Vision for your special honor!

Can you imagine that which you have named "The Garden of Eden" where every tree and flower would speak your name? Where you would walk the fields as the one you call Jeshua or Jesus and experience life in the world as he did, where every flower would bow before you and speak your holy name and honor you as the Creator's heart. Fruit from the trees would literally jump into your hands as you passed. The brooks would sing your name with every burbling flow. The animals, your constant companions and friends, would converse with you in the language of the unlimited spirits, completely understood by each other.

Every moment would be the greatest joy, the most fun. You would be filled with excitement at what each moment could bring for you would know that the Creator's gift of life was coming to you again and again in a million ways through everything that you could see, feel or touch.

Hi Jill. No problem at all. Thank you for stopping by. I know what it is like to have time run away with you.

Right now it is a break down time for me. My tooth broke last week. (about $1,000 to fix because I don't have insurance). Our 15 year old refrigerator broke last friday. ($1000 or so to get a new one).

Our 15 year old washer and dryer is breaking down. Maybe we can repair it.

Hubby's tub grinder for his business broke 2 weeks ago. About $1,000 to fix. He has already repaired it and is able to use it now.

So, time is running away with me also!!! I hope your days have been good

The picture you posted is gorgeous. It is really a SMILE MAKER. I love the story and it's really inspirational.

Thank you Dear Jill. I hope we can meet one day. I'll give you a gigantic hug!!

God Bless,

Pat

That is really cool Alain. You gave great instructions. (You should do a thread in YOUR forum to help other people do this. These instructions will get buried and what you do with pictures is AWESOME!)

But, I don't have Microsoft Photo Editor & Microsoft Powerpoint.

Bummer !!!

Thanks for the explanation.

Pat

Hello Dearest Patricia!

I will answer your question about my graphics here in your POTW party...
In this way You or any of our Friends could do it as well if they choose to do so...

There are many steps involved...
1) search the internet for the graphic that would be suitable for what I want to create and save it to my hard drive;
2) come here in Adland and go to the picture - really at the picture page - of the Friend I want to feature and save his/her picture on my hard drive;
3) from where it has been saved on my computer - eg. in My Documents - I will open the picture simply using Microsoft Photo Editor, only if I need to somehow re frame the picture to better fit my needs;
4) then, I will use Microsoft Powerpoint to create it as I want - see it in my mind...
a) from Microsoft Powerpoint, import the first graphic saved from the internet and play with the size of it to fill up my originally blank page... so the image becomes full page;
b) from Microsoft Powerpoint, import the picture of my Friend on top of the other one; then, play with the size and place of it in order to have the image that I want;
c) from Microsoft Powerpoint, import a text box to add some text to that newly created picture - like "195th POTW" - and display it where I want to be; I can again play with the size of it, the character type, the angle of display, etc...
d) from Microsoft Powerpoint, when I am done creating what I want and that new picture is to my taste - hoping it is gonna meet the taste of my Friend - I go to the file tab, select save as - giving it the appropriate name - and, saving it as a picture using the "JPEG File Interchange Format"; this is done!
5) There is one final step... I need to find a place to bring that picture on to the internet and save it there so that I can use it in my different posts... I personally use FLICKR @ http://www.flickr.com... I find it being very easy and friendly user.
6) When my newly created picture is saved on to FlickR, I simply do as with any other graphic to go get it and add it to my posts... by getting the actual internet address of the picture.

It might looks as being much complicated... but this is a series of simple steps to follow to make something Special for a very Special Friend ;-)

Have fun with it... And, do not hesitate if you do need any additional info in the process of getting use to it...

With Lots of Friendship and Love,

Blessings,

Hugs

Alain
