Enjoying MDS

Oh my! It's been over a month since my last post. Sometimes I look back over last year and wonder what I did exactly. I think I must have just sat at the computer all day long, and if I wasn't there, I was in the stamp room. I've missed so many of you, and I'm glad that we keep in touch.

I was trying desperately to finish a very late Christmas gift for the Grandma's and Grandpa's and all the Great's, too. I usually do some type of "photo gift" especially for the Great-grandparents who do not live close.

I downloaded MDS before Christmas only to find out I forgot to download the second disk. Like a ding-dong, I panicked and called the company. They must think I'm some kind of dealy-whack. Tee-hee! Then when I got them both downloaded, I very quickly found out that our computer did not have enough RAM, so every time I would add an element, it would literally take between 3 and 5 minutes before it would appear. YIKES! I learned A LOT about computers, and real quick, too.

But now, I have my computer fixed, the calendar finished, and it should be arriving any day now. Cannot wait. Here is what was created digitally...

January...this was my first page on MDS. Definitely NOT one of my favorites. I guess, a person has to start somewhere, right?

February...a little bit better. One of the things I really enjoy is adding Scripture to the bottom half of the calendar, ya know, where the dates are located. I added 1 Corinthians 9 24-25 to this one. It says:

"You've all been to the stadium and seen the athletes
race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You're after one that's gold eternally." ~The Message

March... I think I'm on a roll.

I will post more of the 2010 calendar in the next few days.

TTFN,
