Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent.

I hope this newsletter finds you well and enjoying some brighter weather. This month I decided to start creating some simple, inspiring, messages, all on a theme - you can read about it on the blog. It would be lovely if you joined me in this, either by sharing the messages or even by creating your own and sharing! My theme is 'adapt' and I love the idea that 'to adapt is to create peace'! (you can see them all under the "quote" label)
Here are the first messages!

TESTIMONY
We are honored and humbled by all who are inspired by this site and we appreciate the kind words you have shared with us. Here is an example of one such student here at Hummie's World. You can read all the testimonials written here. If you would like to share your testimony of how Hummie's World has helped you, please email Dawn at dawn@digiscrapfun.com
First, I have to say that Hummie's World is the best scrapping investment that I have ever made. I have been floundering around for the last 2 years with PSE and continually wondering how to do some kind of technique that I saw and no clue how to even start. I actually even tried a few other paid tutorial sites in the past and they do not even compare to Hummie's. The tutorials here are step by step and always with a few extra techniques added into them. I cannot believe how much I have learned since starting classes here. If I ever forget how to do something, I can always go back to the tutorial and view it again. That is truly one aspect that I love about this site! I realize now that I have so much more to learn, as I have done Course I, Filters, and Templates ongoing. The photography class I am also doing is awesome, as I have learned more from Hummie's tutorials than I have with the manual that came with my camera.
Lastly, I just wanted to say a big THANK-YOU to Hummie for all of the time and hard work that you put into this site. I know you also have great helpers, such as Dawn who works hard to help keep it all going. I really appreciate all of you and the warmth I always feel from everyone here, teachers, students, etc. I hope to be a part of Hummie's World for a long time! I definitely love the inspiration I get from everyone on this site! Firefly662
