Do you plan your weeks cooking ahead of time?  I do.  On Sunday morning I sit down in my office and I plan out what we are going to eat all week. Meal planning for me, really, is pretty easy.  My Mr. works a weird shift at work that rotates so he is only home for dinner a few nights per week.  Those nights I try to cook a NICE meal with the trimmings.  I mean, he works hard and he deserves it. On the nights Mr. C isn’t home,…

Its been a very relaxing week here in the Cates house.  The kiddies are on fall break AND its my birthday week so we’ve been doing lots of SLEEPING IN, and munching on goodies!  My birthday isn’t actually until Sunday, but I’ve sure been milking it all week.  LOL!!!

I thought I would start reposting some of the old tutorials I made for the “Digital Scrapbook Designer” Class, that I used to teach. Ive been using Paint Shop Pro since 1997, and teaching Paint Shop Pro since 2001. These tutorials were all written by and are copyrighted to me, Bunny Cates. Most were written between 2004-2007, so the screen caps are from older versions of PSP. Since I do not use ANY outside filters in my tutorials, they will work in any version of PSP. To get the most…
