 Outline for Note-Taking

This outline will serve as a 'skeleton' for taking notes as you view my DVD on Embellishments.  The Main Sections (Roman Numerals) correspond to the sections on the DVD - and the time beside them is as close as I was able to pinpoint it during my viewing.  You can scroll to these times to get to the different sections by moving the 'time bar' at the bottom of your screen as you view the DVD.  Fast Forwarding will also take you to the next main section.
