Hi Abe, and thanks! :) I used Power Director 3, but apparently you can do something similar with the built-in Windows Movie Maker software (I've never used it though). Ulead also makes a good movie software program. The music was a royalty-free piece from a collection I purchased from www.partnersinrhyme.com I bought a couple of the images from a stock photo site, the rest were from clip art I already had, and the cover was provided by the publisher. Start to finish, from storyboarding it to finally uploading it to YouTube, it took me about 12 hours. (But then I was farting around with other stuff in the mean time too. *LOL*) I used index cards to work out my text before I started, then from there it was just getting it put together. Thanks! Lesli.

WOW! That is incredibly exciting. I've been shopping around for a book deal myself, so you'll get nothing but admiration and cheers from here. Big congratulations, and best of luck on the marketing and release. What did you use to make the snazzy trailer? I need to learn some of this stuff. Thanks, Abe

Hello almost neighbor! Since you are still in voodoo doll mode I think you should make a small fire, dance around it under the open sky, beat on a drum and scream real loud a few minutes. This is Florida, no one would think a thing of it and it could be called therapy. Try some samples of the Celebrex first. I found it alot like taking skittles. I managed to get off the anti-inflammitories the week before I tore my Achilles. <great timing huh?> Anyway those meds were eating my tummy up bad. I researched out a couple of books with info that changed my diet added some suppliments and am pretty good now. I go in for a couple of massages a month to help the tight areas and can even do 3 or 4 classes in the pool each week. It took me some time and occasionally I fall off the wagon but it seems to work for me. I actually have a voodoo doll from New Orleans and she is so very cool. She was blessed for Happiness and Bliss but I just can't bring myself to stick a pin in her. Instead I have added some shells and other pretties to her outfit. Hugs! Shelly

How annoying! Especially with the dogs. It's hard for me to keep control of just my one puppy when someone is at the door, I can't imagine trying to keep control of multiple dogs!
