Adding Your Favorite Brushes Together in One Set
1) Select the Brush Tool

2) In the Brush Option Bar, click the dropdown arrow

3) From the menu that appears, click the second dropdown arrow

4) From the list of brushes that appears, choose a Brush Set that includes a particular brush or brushes you want put in your custom set, to make that brush set active.

5) From the Menu, go to Edit > Preset Manager

6) At Preset Type, select Brushes

7) Click on the Load button

8) From the Load window navigate to the folder where your brushes are stored

9) Click on another Brush Set containing a brush you want to add to your custom brush set, then click the Load button in that window. This will append that brush set to the end of the brush set you initially selected.

10) Repeat using the Load button from Preset Manager to add all the sets containing brushes you wish to put in your custom set.

11) Now, from the Preset Manager grid containing all the brushes you loaded, while holding the Control key down, click on each brush, and only each brush, that you want to keep in your custom set. The border of each brush selected should become bolder. If you want to include ALL of the brushes you've loaded, use Ctrl-A to select all.

12) Next click the Save Set button

13) From the Save dialog box that comes up, give your custom set a filename, such as My Favorite Brushes, or something. Do not name it the same as any other brush set or you will overwrite that set.

14) Make sure the Save In location at the top of the box indicates the path where the PSE brushes are located, such as C:/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 5.0/Presets/Brushes

15) Then click Save. All brushes that you did not select will be excluded from the new saved set.

16) Click Done to close the Preset Manager

17) Now restart Elements and you should see your own custom set listed in the brushes palette.

18) Later, if you wish to add another brush from another set to your custom set, select the Brush tool and select your custom set from the brushes palette

19) From the Menu...Edit > Preset Manager, click the Load button and repeat the steps above, always making sure you select all brushes you want to remain in your custom set, including the original ones, before clicking Save Set. Then give the set the same filename you used for your custom set. When you click Save, it will ask if you wish to replace the existing file, answer OK. Then click the Done button to close Preset Manager and restart Elements.

20) Tip: If you wish to have your custom set at the top of the list in the brush palette, put an underscore before the name, such as _My Favorites.

OK, trying again to reply here.
let's see if this works... I am interested in trying this brush tip for saving into a new set.
