When I first started to make my site in 2002, it was meant for something else; then I learnt about Paint Shop Pro through an on line Web Design Course and I became addicted to it, no other program has made me want to dedicate every free moment to create something new..

I wanted to share what I have learnt with you but having a Photography Shop to look after I didn't have the time it takes to develop a site. Now the time I longed for has arrived, I have closed the shop and can dedicate myself to making my site accessible to everyone, teach what I have learnt and share what I have created.

First a bit about myself...My name is Lidia, I'm Italian, I was born in Egypt, and I lived for quite a few years in London. I have now settled in Venice as you will see from the above photo..

I'm a dog lover and have two dogs, Sissi and Bimba, which I love very much. Up to the 12th November 2004 I had three but my little Cleo left me after 15 1/2 years to cross Raimbow Bridge where, in a big sunny and green field, she chases butterflies having the time of her life!

Please come back often as I will be uploading new creations from time to time.

I will continue to make my work available for free to download, but increases in my bandwidth costs are always a concern. So if you feel you would like to contribute to the site, my gratitude is yours.
