Acclamations ....Affirmative Declarations, Testimonials, Remarks, ....what do you call these pages on websites? It has taken me a long time to put up this page, simply because it feels as if I am bragging on myself and that just plain 'ol does not feel right! However, many sites utilize these pages so that others know that there are satified customers.
Sometimes these pages are obviously fake looking too. Seriously, someone could have made up each and every one of these writings and I think sometimes they do, so I often taken them with a grain of salt. I want you to know that these acclamations are in no way fake. I even asked Dawn and Tina to collect them for me so that there would be someone else to verify that they are valid comments of people in classes. I am truly amazed as I watch the students here grow in their skills. Undiscovered talent has been revealed through the teaching of basic principles and computer techniques as the students have gone far beyond what I have taught creating a true work of art. There are no words to convey what magic is happening here through the classes and lessons, but I think that it is better for you to hear about it straight from the students, the glue that holds this site together, here at Hummie's World.
If it was not for Hummie, what could I say, where would I be today!! I have been wanting to learn Photoshop Elements for years, but could never comprehend the instructions from various web sites, until I happened upon Hummie’s World and signed up as a subscriber and started taking her classes. That step has totally changed my life as I am now producing wonderful layouts, plus I am understanding the lessons. Hummie encourages me when I get down and feel I should quit, like I wanted to do in the Designer Class. But she won’t let me and encouraged me to hang in there which I will do. That is a great teacher who takes the time to help students who may be slower than others and it shows she really cares. She is a blessing in my life and I am thankful for such a wonderful person. And you Tina are a wonderful person who has taken time to publicly honor her. Thank you. Cynthia (aka ccynden, aka cindy) *** I have been a member of the Hummies World forums for a little over a year, but didn't become a subscriber till January 2009. I honestly cannot begin to tell you what took me so long to subscribe! Once I did, I started digging right in, and I have learned sooooo much, I can't even begin to tell you!! I came across the digi world by complete accident. I was looking on google for something TOTALLY unrelated, and came across something about digi scrapping through scrap girls. So, I looked them up, and started to slowly learn what this whole thing was about. When I first started, I was using Microsoft Picture It 10. I was doing ok.... but that all changed when I got my copy of PSE 6!! When I got it, I was completely confused, and so, I began my search for tutorials on how on earth to work this seemingly hard piece of software. In comes Hummie, with her gentle spirit and incredible teaching. I started going through her free tutorials, then I finally made the subscriber choice and I have been learning more and more ever since!! So much so, that now- some ladies in my church want me to teach THEM how to get started!!! This would have NEVER happened if it weren't for Hummie! I am, and always will be, a subscriber to Hummies World. You can't keep me away!!!! ~Dawn Miller (dawn) *** Hi my name is Jana and I'm a new comer to Hummie's World, having only found out about her site just a month ago! But I have to say what a treasure chest of information I have landed into! There are classes that you can take at your own pace, which have the most amazing video tutorials that go along with each lesson as well as written instruction that match the videos. Hummie covers all the basics and goes through in her latest class learning how to design for yourself. I have used Photoshop for about 8 months and I have learned so many new things, that I never even knew about. Lots of new short cuts and just really cool things to try out! I'm looking forward to going through all of her classes, even if it is just to practice up on my own skills, because they are so well written and easy to follow! I think that anyone from a beginner to an advanced user could benefit from Hummie's lessons. They are just great! Come join us for some great fun, friendship and learning! Jana (jlynn) *** Here is mine. Hummie has been great! I am a digital designer and still learned new things from taking the course from Hummie. I learned things that I had no idea that you could do in PSE! She has a way of making difficult things seem so easy. She is a great teacher both in person and video. It was a pleasure and blessing to meet her in St. Loius. I would suggest anyone take the course even if you are a designer because even an old dog can learn new tricks like I did! Tammy Bunch (bunchie) *** Hi Tina, I imagine my 'testimony' is similar to many others: I obtained Photoshop Elements; I went through some training DVDs and created some pages; but once I discovered Hummie's tutorials I learned SO many new things! Since coming to Hummie's World, I've had my first 120 page book printed, and I'm half-way through my next one! : ) I appreciate the organization of her tutorials. I've not been a fan of video tutorials before, and still really like to have written ones to refer back to, but I've learned to appreciate her careful instruction, and sometimes I do like being able to back up the video and watch a section again. I appreciate her teaching style - she goes at a speed that lets me catch details I can really use. I've learned so many 'shortcuts,' and even hard-drive conserving tips, from Hummie. I also appreciate her feedback. Her encouraging 'warm fuzzies' have made me keep moving forward. Getting comments from Hummie and all of the rest of the community at Hummie's World is a highly motivating factor for me. I also appreciate VERY much the fact that Hummie has an 'open' gallery. It's so nice to scrap with what I think will best bring out the photos, rather than trying to find a 'legal' item from my collection to use, as I've had to do in other galleries in the past. Since I can't afford to buy a kit just to post a layout in a gallery, this is a pretty big deal. I also appreciate Hummie as a person. Her posts often 'hit the nail on the head' in expressing things I've felt. Her personal testimony as a Christian, as a mother, as a flower garden person - all of these add to the appreciation I feel for her. Blessings! Anita Bennett (AnitaB) *** Hi Tina. What a great idea. I haven't taken a course here before, so can't really say much, but so far, in the designer course, I can say that I am really appreciating how much work Hummie has put in- the current lesson videos must have taken hours and she explains things so well. Cheers Jill (greenfingers) *** I also was a Paint Shop Pro user until I met up with Hummie. I still do use PSP 10 sometimes. I have them all up to 12, but like 10 the most. I started using Photoshop Elements with hummie and now am totally hooked on it. I use 8 right now, but I do some of the work in Photoshop 4. Hummie is a great teacher and I love to learn. I love the way Hummie teaches a technique and then tells you to make a layout to go with the technique. It makes you think out of the box. Every technique she teaches is down to a level that you can understand and if you don't understand it she will help you with it. She is a great teacher and a great person to give her time so freely. Margaret (Margaret) *** This is so nice---thank you for thinking of it. I have been a subscriber of Hummies since March, 2009. I have learned so very much about digi-scrapping and even a bit of photography from her lessons. I think her lessons are well thought-out and as clear as can be. (I taught school for 33 years so I know what I'm talking about!) She is so patient to take time explaining and re-explaining if necessary. I really don't know how she keeps up with it all. I do know we are very lucky to have Hummie in our lives! Diane (Belle33) *** Hummie is awesome and the effort she puts into helping each person goes beyond anyone i have ever seen before. I have had trouble with some of the lessons and she has been patient and receptive to helping me even to the point of private IM'ing me a great effort on her part I'm sure, but way beyond what anyone else has ever done for me. I am astounded at her lessons which are so clear and understandable. God certainly has gifted Hummie with a wonderful gift and an exceptional way of getting along with others to the point of sticking by me when the going got touch. Hummie I love you and appreciate you so very much from the bottom of my heart. Charlene (charlenereeves) *** I joined Hummie’s World exactly a month ago and it has been the best decision I ever made. I have been scrapbooking for several years now but have never been truly satisfied with my completed pages. I didn’t realize that there were so many things I didn’t know until I joined Hummie’s World and began going through the online courses. What is so great though is that what I am learning about color and balance in a layout is applicable to both the digital scrapbooker as well as those who want to blend the digital with the traditional. I am completely hooked on digital scrapbooking and may never go back to traditional scrapbooking. I may however, blend the two. *** It is very easy to sum up my experience with Hummies World. "Outstanding" - Seems like such an easy word to hear but a hard accomplishment for someone to attain when teaching others. To be "outstanding" means you have to excel in your ability to teach and in
the design of the lesson plans.
