CHRISTMAS BREAK - TUTORIALS AND CHALLENGES - WEEK OF 12/20/21 and 12/27/21

Hi, Members!

Since we all seem to get so busy during the holidays, especially the week right before and after Christmas, the staff has decided that a little break is in order.      We will go "on break" starting (today) Sunday, December 19th and then go back to our usual schedule on January 3rd.   This does not mean we won't be around and in mail though. <elfish smile>  We have provided below a list of 30 tutorials that you can have fun with.  We may also throw in a couple of random challenges.  Remember, no hearts are earned for our Holiday Break Festivities, but there may be a couple of prizes and surprises randomly given for those who participate.

The tutorials are all numbered, so if you do complete one, please let us know the tutorial you did.   A good way to type out your SUBJECT LINE if you do tutorial #1 on the list, for example, would be:    

HOLIDAY BREAK #1 - your name

(so if it was me submitting the tag for tutorial #1 on the list I would put:

HOLIDAY BREAK #1 - Cathy)

That way we won't miss your participation! 

There is also a .pdf file of the list attached.

Hugs and Happy Holidays,

PSPTimesThree Owners and Moderators

P.S.   Just as a heads up, I wanted to let you all know that Zuzz (Zuzzanna) will be closing down her tute site.   I believe this will happen at the end of the year.   If there are any tutorials of hers that you would like to try (they are shown at end of list), you might not want to wait too long.

Ice Cream Day - December 13

When you get the urge for a snack on a hot, humid summer night, what's the first thing
that comes to your mind?
That's right....Ice Cream!
Therefore, it's only fitting that ice cream be given it's own special day.
On this day, we hope you enjoy an ice cream cone, a sundae, or a milk shake.
Set the diet aside and splurge a little...have one of each!

SANTA CHALLENGE - WEEK OF 12/06/21

In Honor of Santa Claus, let's make a tag with Santa in it!!!

History of St Nicholas Day The actual Saint Nicolas was a man born
in Turkey during the Roman Empire, who lived a life of Christianity
from a very young age. He is written off as being an especially benevolent soul, caring for children and helping the poor and sick when he could.
We couldn’t pinpoint the exact date that St Nicolas Day first came into being,
but it seems that this day has been observed for a long time, honoring the
saint that would become the basis for the beloved Santa Claus.
