 Welcome
and thank you for being here. I've just moved all my graphics to
this server. It was a major move and there are bound to be some missing
links here and there. I'm working on organising things around here
*S*. Do let me know if you see any missing images. If they
still don't appear after a reload, please email me. I'll go hunt
down those illusive images! Just click on the 'email me' button
found at the top of all my pages. And thanks to those of you who have emailed me about broken links. I do appreciate the help.
Ok, here's the story.. I began building my very first homepage in
mid-1997. I used the free backgrounds and graphics that I found on the net, and let me tell ya, some of those graphics were pretty tacky, which made my homepage look pretty tacky, too! Then I came across some
quality sites offering free websets and wondered how they did that. So I started playing
around with graphics in May of 1999. I started with a simple Paint program that 'came with the computer' (I was also a newbie with a computer!). Then later on, equipped with a nice graphics program and some tutorials I began making my own
graphics. Enjoyed that so much that I began building a collection of webpage sets, and hey! why not offer those for free download? It's a fun (and addictive!)
hobby that I enjoy very much (to the point that hubby thinks I'm obsessed
with it..huh..please..alright..maybe just a little..). Thanks to
the many wonderful graphics tutorial sites out there, I've managed to produce
some nice stuff (at least in my eyes *S*).
Anyway, I have made mostly bordered webpage sets
of Victorian, Floral, Kids and various other themes here. They are
all free for download and use on personal pages only. I know I still
have a lot to learn and have a long way to go before becoming good at this,
but I do try to come up with nice, simple and neat designs, so I hope you
will find something you like. All my graphics have been made using
Paint Shop Pro, and I also use Blade Pro and a host of other fine filters
that I couldn't have done without. I also use images that I got off
of some clipart cds, but I have recently begun to make web sets out of
nothing but dingbats, using different filters and textures.. lots of experimenting,
and it's so neat to see what I end up with! Go to my Assorted
Sets Page 5 to see how that went so far! My pages have been built using Notepad and Netscape Composer.
If you do use any of my sets, please provide a link back
*S*. I'd be thrilled to bits if you do. For that purpose, I've
made matching logo buttons with all my sets which you could use to link
your site to mine. Or you could use one of the buttons at the bottom of this
page...heck! even a text link will be much appreciated. The URL address
to link to is:

My Resources page is open, in tribute to the people that have been a source of inspiration to me. Their talents and creavity are amazing, and whenever I visit their sites, it's a very humbling experience everytime.
Alright then... on to the graphics!
Enjoy your visit!
