Thanks so much, Noah...
This was my first try with the print on the graphic.  It actually took me 2 days to get it right.

Thanks so much, Karen...
It was that light house...
I had written this little poem quite a while ago and had been trying it on different pictures...
and then I saw the lighthouse, and it not only made the perfect background, artistically...but also metaphorically.
I have sailed a lot, and the light house has always been the welcoming light when coming into port.

Thanks so much, Marie..
It was difficult but fun to get the text onto the picture, and I love challenges.
I am glad that the words spoke so much to you.

Thanks so much, Marti...
It only took me 2 whole days and umpteen tries to figure it out...but I did it...
And, I would like to thank you for your help in telling me to click on that A.  As soon as I did that, it was like a key clicking in a lock...and I knew that I would be able to open the door....all it would take was a little practice and a little patience.

Lyra, I laughed when I read your reply to me about it taking 2 days to get the words on the picture. When Marge was helping me, she was gobbling up Excedrin constantly!!  It took me days also, and  even now, it takes a long time and I've done tons. I find one of the hardest things is getting the font and the color to match and look good on the picture.

You did a great job and the more you do, the easier it will be. I still can't post pictures or graphics. Where is that son of mine? This is a case of the cobbler whose children have no shoes!  :-)  Marti

Thanks so much, Marti...
It probably would've taken a lot longer if you hadn't told me about the A and David wasn't living here...
But I also had a hard time with getting the letters to show.  I kept changing the letter color and nothing was working and finally...I just got a new picture, and this one actually went a lot better with the poem.
It was nerve wracking, so I'm not sure if I'll do any more like this...but I at least had to try....I love challenges...
