Paint.net Online Tutorials:

They kept picking the wrong foreground/primary color, but it's still a good one.

This one makes brushed metal effects on text, something good because at least they write words on screen to describe what to do:

After keeping up with her book, her tape, and now seeing her 'in person', I can honestly say this woman has changed my life. Still a long way to go, but even with a sore arm in recent weeks and the lovely Cristina away for a three week holiday, our house looks nicer than it has for a long time.  I have got the sink shining off nicely, the bed is made every morning, and not all, but a lot of the rest is following.

And it all started with an aside by Sister Cravinhos after an RS meeting in Boca earlier this year.

Check it out for yourselves, on flylady.net

Enjoy!  Sister Hawkshaw
