For those of us dragging our feet on our yearbook entries (lol), can we see some of the other entries by chance? That might help me get going.
Melanie Grimm 12:09 PM
But if I send you an image that is big enough to be scaled down to fit, then I do not have to worry about those measurements, do I?
Vickie Velasquez 12:09 PM
Even just seeing Melanie’s helped me 🙂
