MacForce Gets Cozy
One great thing about hanging around MacForce and being involved deeply with our user group meetings is meeting some super-cool people from very different disciplines. Last night, we hosted our Creative User Group meeting in which Alicia Paulson presented her soon to be released book, Stitched In Time and her blog, Posie Gets Cozy. Alicia is widely known in the crafting community through her very popular blog and talked to our group about the success she has enjoyed and how it all came together for her. Alicia and her family do it all to make her work come to life on the blog and in her book. She is an inspiration to anyone who wants to use modern tools to make something truly amazing happen for themselves and you should all check out her work.
Additionally, Ian Schray from Softpress came in to give us a great demo of Freeway Pro 5. Freeway is a really great tool for those of you out there that are comfortable in a page layout program like InDesign or even Pages but don’t know or don’t want to mess with HTML. Freeway creates super-clean code and yet allows enough latitude to design your pages just way you want them to look. Ian has done a few demos of this software for us here and has another one coming up on October 25 at 2 p.m. If you missed his other demos, make sure you put that date on your calendar.
Our appreciation for the guests we’ve invited in doesn’t end there, though. We have had some really great people come in to our Theatre to present products and share their knowledge which in so many ways, is what makes this place a great place to hang out.
So, thanks very much to all the vendors and professionals from all walks of life that grace our space with their presence and thanks in advance to those of you who’ve yet to pay us a visit.
