TUTORIAL: Installing New Fonts
Good afternoon everyone! :)
I am feeling a bit under the weather today, so I am behind in getting my things done all together(Home work, graphics, goodie bag and freebies). My son and I have slept most of the day. I just feel so whiped out. :(
Anyhoo, I recieved an email from Lois today,(Thanks hun...) and I realized, I have sent out tons of new fonts to everyone in my goodie bag, but not everyone knows how to install them. This tutorial will go on my website also, BUT... I want to share it with you here. I wrote this up for Lois today, and I hope it helped. So I am just going to copy and Paste the Email here real quick.
Step 1. Unzip your font into C:>WINDOWS>FONTS , or if you have saved them to a folder on your computer you can cut and paste them into your fonts folder like so:
a) right mouse click on the new font file and click cut,
go to: START>MY COMPUTER> C:>WINDOWS>FONTS
and paste it anywhere in there with all of the other fonts.
Now, your font is in the appropriate folder, but that doesn't mean it's going to work... you will need to manually install your fonts.
To do so follow
Step 2: While you are still in your windows fonts folder, go to your task bar at the top of that window and click :
FILE>INSTALL NEW FONT.
A new window will appear that says Add Fonts, there will be a box below the title "List of Fonts". Below that will be a window titled " FOLDERS: C:\windows.
Step 3. Click on the folder icon that says C: then the Folder icon that says WINDOWS , then click on the folder icon that says Fonts.
( C:> WINDOWS>FONTS )
You will see all of the fonts your hard drive has stored in the font folder appear in the "List of Fonts:" box above.
Step 4. Go to the "List of Fonts" box and scroll through, finding the new font you just pasted into the Fonts Folder and select it. Click OK.
It may have a little window pop up saying that font is already installed and to install a new version, first remove the old version. Just Click OK.
Once you have installed all of the new fonts you want on your computer, just click close or the X tab and you're done.
Reboot shouldn't be nessacary, BUT, it couldn't hurt, and your new fonts will show up AFTER you reboot your Paint Shop Pro program. The fonts will be used in all programs installed on your computer. :)

How do you like my site?
Well, I have been on the Top 50 digi blog site for a week now, you can rate me once a day... and I appreciate it if you do.
I checked over there today and I have gone from # 78 to #68 this week. YAY....
So click my Rate me button to the right colomn and leave a rating if you dont mind.
1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. :)
So, How was everyone's Mother's Day? Please do comment here or send it in an email... I get lots of emails but I do respond to each one personally. :)
What did you get for mom's day and what did you give your mom?
I had one of the best mother's day's ever. :) My kids cleaned the house for me, which was nice because I got sit back and relax and not have to do much. The laundry was all done and the bathroom cleaned spotless, they even washed and put the dishes away. The both got me a $50.00 gift certificate a piece for the local Hobby Shop (MY FAVORITE!!) and a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which, Nathan picked himself. :) My Son, awh, he is the man who has stolen my heart. He has always picked flowers for me and I save each one that I can and press them in a book. He will one day charm a very lucky lady, he has the makings of a great man someday! Noodle aka Nikki, picked the card and the gift cards and did a fine job in doing so, she knows my favorite colors the best. It was their idea to shop at the Hobby Shop! lol
Mom and Dad gave me a gift card for wal-mart and a wonderfully sweet card. I spotted some stuff I wanted at Wal-mart the other day also.... and My sister and bro-n-law and my sweet little neice and adorable little nephew also got me a gift card and a mother's day Card. The note my sister wrote in my card truly touched me, because there have been times over the years that I felt we had drifted apart. I love my sister more than life, and I have always looked up to her ( altho I am the big sister, She is the example to me)... and I often wondered and felt that maybe my short comings were to much for her to handle and so we went seperate ways and it really saddened me. What she said in her card took all of that sadness away and every ounce of doubt I ever had about her loving me and being my friend left today. I needed those words so badly, and I cannot begin to express how thankful I am she wrote them in her card.
Sis, if you read this, Thank you so much for that, I love you and you are everything in a woman I wish I could be. ;)
Not one gift was better than the other, I loved each one equally. But I recieved another touching hand made gift from a friend and it ment so much because it was hand crafted and made with appreciatation for the things I do. Thank you so much for the lovely box, I put it to use as soon as it came home and it will be a treasure forever.
I hope you all had as wonderful of a day as I did.
God Bless, and Don't forget to hug your mom and thank her for being there when no one else could....

Rachel

Show 'N Tell : May 1997 Lemonade Stand, Robin and Lee
In May of 1997 I had a big garage sale and we thought it would be a great idea to have a lemonade stand. Believe it or not, it is warm here that time of year, Living in the desert and all! But that day it was cold and so the kids ( My two cousins) were bundled up in their coats and ear muffs and insisted on tring to sell lemonade, popcorn balls and homemade suckers. They made a total of 125.00 that day just from the lemonade stand. They made 1/3 of what I did with my junk! lol
Here is a scrap I made of that picture, using a template from Hilmarose and my "pink lemonade" Mega Scrap Kit. You Can download the Mini Kit Sampler HERE.

Something Nifty...
Well, I have been a busy girl today. I have a new kit completed and I will post the mini kit sampler up here ASAP. I have to get the preview up first.
I know , I haven't posted much today. I have been uber busy.
1. I am working on my website. I am really excited, and hope I can have it opened soon. This is going to be fun!
2. I have been designing!! I have like 4 kits I want to turn out this month. That is my plan is to have at least 3 NEW kits a months or more if I can. It takes 6 hours to make one kit, so most of the day I have been doing that! I will not tell you what the theme is, because I want to suprise you with the Preview and the free mini kit DL.
I have a picture somewhere around here that I am wanting to scrap with it for an example. This kit absolutely rocks, and I know, each time I make a new one I always say " this has to be my favorite one.." well, it is right up there with the Strawberries N Creme kit!!
Are you excited??
Keep, posted. I am off to make the preview right now.
Hugs,
Rachel
