As for your question: I do use Photoshop Elements 14 (on a new iMac). But the mat and frame on the horse photo was done in PicMonkey.

I am going to be donating clothes soon and I had never thought of the hospice shop, didn't realize they had them, until a friend told me about hers. Next time I drive out to see her I will bring a box of things that need to go but didn't want to just 'throw away'.

Valerie, I think I need to buy that one as well because over the past couple of years, my memory (especially when it comes to remembering names), has gotten soooo bad. <br /><br />And I too have a shelf in my clothes closet that is waaaaaay up high and need to use a step stool to reach Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.com
