Diana's Stationery can be found at http://www.threebac.com
My site is a family friendly place to find a variety of FREE, useful, and creative  stationery for Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, or Incredimail. There are hundreds of stationeries from which to choose, and there are many categories - some of which are not common on other stationery sites. I have Christian, Jewish, Angels, Cats, Floral, Animals, Birds, Butterflies, Holidays, Patriotic, Scenic, Watermarks, & Miscellaneous categories. The pages show large thumbnails, and the graphics and HTML script can be downloaded together in a self-executable file, a zip file, or an EML file. There are no obnoxious pop-up ads or annoying banners. A Site Search feature is available to help you find just what you are looking for.

If you care about animals and are interested in learning more about them and how to help them, come to my All Creatures Great and Small site. There are many articles, helpful hints, & links, as well as funny stories and cartoons.
 

For 2008! Mokum Mail: Version 6! This excellent (and fun) software will become indispensable to you once you have tried it. I don't know how I ever lived without it. I've been beta-testing MM (Mokum Mail) for almost eight years and I can verify that it is the handiest program I have ever used. MM can operate as a stand alone Email program, or in conjunction with Outlook Express. It will download and allow you to check your email headers without needing to open them on your computer. What a great way to get rid of spam and virus-containing emails before they even download to you. If you want, you can read the emails in safe, plain text mode, or open them in OE, or in the Browser.
 But wait...there is more - much more. Mokum Mail is also a fantastic software for creating fancy stationery emails, with all kinds of tables, scrolling backgrounds, marquees, tag line tickers, and a whole lot more than I have room to write about here - all done automatically at the "touch of a button". You don't need to know anything about HTML or scripting. In addition, MM allows you to "snag" graphics, midis, scripts, etc. from incoming emails and use them for yourself.
I do not have any financial ties to Mokum Mail but I do know the clever programmer, Joop Blokker, and can tell you that he is a really great programmer - in addition to being a really great guy. Mokum Mail cannot be beat for convenience, as well as creativity - and the low price of the registered version gives you a lot of "bang for your buck".
And as of January, 2008, you can avail yourself of a 30 day FULL feature trial of the latest version,
Mokum Mail v6.0 There are so many fabulous new features! Read about them!
Go to http://www.mokummail.nl and find out what you have been missing. Be sure and click on the "Features" tab there to find out many more details about what Mokum Mail can do. Also, be sure and read the PC Active review which details the program in a very favorable manner.
P.S. For registered users, there is now a special MOKUM MAIL USERS web site with a growing list of tutorials and tips and tricks.
P.P.S. For my tutorial on a basic side border made with Mokum Mail, click here.
One more thing........There are over a thousand FREE beautiful and fun MM format stationeries by the most creative people in the world, which can be downloaded at MMF download.

 

A Texas organization devoted to rescuing neglected horses, cats, and dogs, is
True Blue Animal Rescue. They are working hard to fill a great need in Washington County and surrounding areas. Take a look at their web site and help them out with a donation or by joining and volunteering your time and efforts. Also, if you are looking to adopt a horse or a dog - or to foster one - this is a good place to start looking.

For a site full of beautiful poetry and lovely backgrounds, go see the pages put up by my precious friend, Barbara Sue, at http://www.geocities.com/sunnysugar99/index.html.  It is called "Angels and Poems", and she has done an excellent job of creating an uplifting and inspiring web site; her loving nature and caring attitude comes through on every page.


Of course I must absolutely recommend PaintShopPro, the software I primarily use for creating my Outlook Express stationery, and which to my mind is the best graphics program in its' price range. It has too many features to list here, but you can read all about it and download a 30-day free trial version at http://www.jasc.com/ .

 

If you are looking for a really great free graphics program, try 20/20 which can be downloaded at http://www.hotfreeware.com/ This program has many excellent features for handling graphics and costs you nothing. I use it for several purposes including its easy tiling feature. The author, Keith, is very helpful and gives good support.

IrfanView at http://www.ryansimmons.com/users/irfanview/english.htm is a terrific program. IrfanView is a very fast FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) 32-Bit graphic viewer for Windows 9x, Windows ME, Windows NT and Windows 2000. Some features: Thumbnails, Preview, Drag & Drop Support, fast Directory View (fast moving through directory), Print Support, Scan (TWAIN) Support, Slideshow, Batch conversion, change the color depth, audio CD player, Capturing, Cut/Crop, Effects (Blur, Sharpen etc.) and much, much more. It supports every conceivable extension possible. 

One favorite application for personal use is called PC Study Bible, by Biblesoft. It is by far the most thorough and comprehensive Bible software I have come across. I have been using it since the first DOS version about 10 years ago. Now, it is an exhaustive, Windows based, interactive powerhouse. It has so many fabulous features that I would be hard put to do them justice with my descriptions. Please visit their web site at http://www.biblesoft.com/ and see what they have to offer. You will find it well worth your time. 

A really fun and inexpensive program is Twinkle Bulbs. Twinkle Bulbs is a 32-bit desktop accessory program for Windows, which allows you to display flashing, colorful holiday lights on or around your Windows desktop.  You can select various bulb sets and colors for the bulbs, add background music and configure a built-in screen saver (configurable with many modules). The latest version has many new features and functions, including a bulb changer, desktop wallpaper changer, enhanced MIDI music player and over 125 bulb sets for licensed users. The program download comes with several music files and 33 bulbs sets (of which 20 are enabled for unlicensed users).  Licensed users may download additional bulb sets and music files. Please note that this program is not free.  You may evaluate, but if you decide to keep it, please license your copy. It is well worth the very small registration fee. You can find out more and download the trial software at http://www.twinklebulbs.com/

Visit a lovely site called "Christian Poetry", at http://www.angelfire.com/tx2/christianpoetry/ put together by Tina Parr. It is filled with beautifully presented and inspiring poems, funny stories, and even a daily cartoon. Tina adds to it regularly, and if you look closely, you will find some of Diana's stationery on a few of her pages. :-)

If you like good modern art, you will love the various and wondrous works of artist H J Bott. Although Bott has achieved critical acclaim (see review of his latest exhibition), you don't need to be an expert to appreciate his clean lines and creative applications. Take a look at some of his pieces on display at Sicardi Gallery in Houston, Texas. You will be very  glad you did.
