Hi
everyone, I go by Meshi (pronounced Me She),a nickname
given me by my uncle when I was little and which came in
handy when people in groups wanted to differentiate
between Michelles.
I live
in a rural part of the Northeastern portion of the
United States. My husband and I are expecting to
celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2006.We have two young
adult children and a good number of furry pets, as well
as a ball python (long story) and a couple of fish.
I've always enjoyed art since I can remember. I loved
to draw as a child and am just now getting back into
that. I've been into sewing clothing for my family and
for gifts and I've been into many kinds of crafts, even
teaching some.
Not too long after we first got a computer a friend
sent an invitation to me to download IncrediMail had
already been into outlook express stationery big time. I
was fascinated with email stationery and wished I could
make some. Never really thinking I ever could. When I
got IncrediMail downloaded it had a trial of letter
creator with it. I got looking more and more
into IncrediMail and Letter creator and soon realized
that I COULD make stationery myself, if I just had Paint
Shop Pro.
So, I suggested it as a birthday gift idea and my
husband got it for me just before my birthday, in March
.I took a beginner class online and graduated from it.
Then I went searching for more learning for it, either
before I was done with the class or just after. I don't
recall. I remember being so thankful when Hooty let me
into a couple of his groups that I requested to be let
into. I learned so much as I asked questions and got
answers and as I did the tutorials available and the new
ones coming in.
I believe it was in September 2003 of that year when Hooty
saw a stat I made and asked me if I could write a
tutorial for it. I told him I could give it a try. I
managed to come pretty close to what I'd done to achieve
the look I'd gotten for my stat and he invited me to the
Tester's group and asked me to submit it for testing.
That was exciting and scary. I hadn't gone looking for
it and never expected it.I was fairly new yet to Paint
Shop Pro. He assured me that I could do it and that he
needed all levels of folk to test the tutorials so that
everyone could do them. I've learned lots more being in
the tester's group. Hooty aims for excellence so that it
isn't at all likely anyone will have difficulty
following a tutorial the group releases. We all love
that kind of tutorial to follow.:) A great big thank you
to Hooty for this and for all he gives of himself to so
many. Thank you Hooty for the opportunity to work with
you and the other testers and for all you and they have
taught me and continue to.
To all of you that have taken the time to read this
bio I thank you and I hope that you will enjoy the
tutorials that I have written for you to try. Have fun
with them!
Meshi
