Beyond Frustrated....

Everyone talks about how great this is..
but can I tell you how frustrated I am with it right now?
I'm sure it's a great tool once you figure it out, but figuring it out is overwhelming to say the least.  At least for me.  I can usually figure out "techie" things, but this one is so complicated....
I have found some great tutorials on YouTube - I've been successful with those in figuring some things out.  
But yesterday I found a tutorial on Ali Edwards on how to put 2 pics on one 4x6 photo for printing purposes!  I wrote it down step by step. Her tutorial was so clear and it made it seem so easy.   I've gone back to it numerous times but when I follow the steps on my PE10 it isn't the same!!!!!! What am I missing, besides brain cells at this point?  Ugh!
So - I am once again shutting down the PE10 & making bracelets.  
THOSE I know how to make.
Part of it is my learning curve - I want to know how to do it and I want to know it NOW!  I don't want to have to sit through video after video to figure things out, just do it now!  I'll figure it out at some point...... probably later rather than sooner, but I will.
I could take a class from my photography teacher but I'd rather go to Florida next month than pay $240 for a 12 week class.  Selfish?  No - just a much needed vacay with the Dream Boy!
So, I'm going to go make bracelets and then maybe I'll try my luck at PE10 again.......later!
How are you spending your Saturday?
Oh - did I mention all the chillens' are coming home for din din tonite?  We're having shish-ka-bobs.  
Yum.
