Good morning on this lovely spring-like day. There is really signs that winter is leaving us, and good riddance I say too! The camelia has big creamy yellow flowers on it (apart from the one that I saw Jake eat this morning!) I think they are gorgeous flowers and I wish they could last all year. Soon the magnolia will flower and hopefully that will survive the April showers that usually blow the pretty petals away. I hope to get a photo of the camelias soon because I planted two bushes with different colour flowers close together to get the effect of a bi-coloured shrub. But at the moment the red flowers are a bit late flowering so I just hope the cream flowers don`t die off before the red opens up. I also want to thank all my friends that have wished me well since my elbow surgery. It`s so nice knowing how kind you all are and that I`m very grateful for all your support.
Today I will be spending some time learning how to make graphics. I have been sent the proper software to use and it would help if I knew what to do, so I am asking someone with experience for a tutorial. I am determined to learn as I find it all very interesting. Watch this space and I`ll keep you informed of what will probably be a very slow progress. Only three years ago I didn`t know the first thing about computers and the very thought of using one filled me with dread. But I felt it was something I should know about so I enrolled in a college course for the `computer terrified`! I was very relieved to find that I was the youngest in the class and I had great fun learning and have never looked back. I`m not as quick as some to learn, but I like to think I get there in the end. The internet has opened a completely new world to me and made it possible to meet lovely people and make new friends from all over. Now anything is possible in this wonderful online world.

You do very well Sandra!
Very well with computers.
You must be way dwon south.
We are still enjoying snowdrops!
I have only had a computor a year now and taught myself how to use it. Hadn't got a clue when I first switched it on - was terrified. Like you though, I have found another world, new friends, so many things I didn't know were possible. It's great for being creative too, along with my psc and a digital camera. Trouble is I need a better computor now - bigger memory and faster drive. If ever broadband reaches as far our village I will be the happiest woman alive!

From the graphics you've been sending me, it looks like you already know what you're doing!! Well done you!
I might get some software and have a try, but I'll let you master it first so I know where to come for help ;o)

The Camelias sound lovely. Well, the sun has disappeared from here sadly and it is getting a bit windy but it was nice to get outside in the garden this morning. Hope your arm continues to improve. I shall leave the graphics to you my friend as I am cutting down on the computer time. I just cannot take anything else on at the moment and I know I would get hooked on graphics because I already am. If I learned how to make them I would be on here around the clock. Maybe that will be something for the future. Have a great week.
I love the snoopy signature you've got there :-) Look forward to seeing your graphics - what programme have you got to make them coz I'd love to have a go but wouldn't know where to start!!
good luck with the graphics.. I was in staples today, looking at programs to get started myself..I want to make some of those glitter tags, they are so darn pretty!

Happy Spring! I'll be watching the process . . . .I'd like very much do beable to do some of the cool things you do in your journal. "Blessings, Penny
I love your graphics Sandra, especially the Snoopy one. Good luck with your graphic making, I too would love to learn how to do them, but like Jeannette, I already spend too much time on the computer! Will be interested in knowing how you get on tho'.
Here in sunny (but very windy) Cambridgshire the daffs are out - the snowdops fading to rust, and the crocus are poking their heads up. Going into Hospital today (at least I'm turning up - but they say they still can't be sure I'm getting a bed!) so don't know when I'll be back on my computer. As it's my sister's Birthday at then end of the month, I thought I'd tell you all about her struggle to reach the magnificent age of 69 ( magnificent for her, anyway) so that's my last entry til I get back.
ta ta for now

Hi Sandra,
So glad that spring is finally visiting you. :)
I have some tutorials that I will email you. Some of them helped me...but I don't spend a lot of time working with PSP.
LOVE YOU FRIEND,
Sharon
