A chapter template with heading graphics, and extra graphics for different chapters. My old iMac is on the fritz, so I can't send you a screenshot of what that was like, but you can see a little of what it was like with my chapter preview at http://reneodeay.com/chapt1prevu.html I used some great graphics for my desktop too on that old iMac and on my first Mac OS 8.6 laptop (we're talking dinosaur). They definitely helped solve that 'blank computer screen or blank word-processing screen", and were great inspirations. René O'Deay Hi, Pam,

My old office had one, my home office doesn't and I MISS IT! I just wrote about something complimentary to this yesterday and I'll add a link to this post. We often need to define ourselves positively and get stuck trying, so this is a way to break that blok and SEE something better. Gotta love those foam bulletin boards.

We're big believers in thinking visually and creatively to solve problems. In fact, we're building a place that we hope will be a source for kickstarting lots of great ideas -themuzeum. Our vision-creating tactics are to browse the galleries and exhibits in themuzeum (dot com) to get ideas and inspiration. Apologies for the self-promotion, but we're very excited about the potential of a 'global nation of creatives.' It will be a great place for self-expression, idea sharing and problem solving.
