I LOVE it, made my day to have a layout lifted, I love that one. Love your airy breezy look and the delicate cluster climbing that ladder. I struggle with light backgrounds so it was fun to see you choose that one.

I think we are related. I listen to Helen Reddy "I Am Woman" when I need some good speak for myself. You are beautiful and talented and my first thought was "Catholic" LOL because I have more guilt than you can shake a fist at.:hug4:

It's from the serenity prayer that they use at various support groups, but it's a good mantra for all of us. Sometimes you just have to cut the weeds out of the garden so the flowers can thrive, someone who lies to children, punishes them for loving those who love them, and using them as weapons...

I'll do @Nickel

2026....i would want the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change those I can and the wisdom to know the difference. People can only take my happiness if I allow them to do so. Sometimes people we know and love cease to exist as the people we knew and even though...

what a FABulous take on today's challenge by @sandra-9663

OMG, Sandra! I absolutely LOVE your take on the challenge! Love the lights on the covered bridge and your attention to detail. The elf standing on the railing is making me nervous, I live in Minnesota an know about slippery conditions. Santa slip to a stop at kind of a bad angle, I don't know if...

LOVE what @BoatLady did with her orchid, I need to go water mine.

OMG, that is SUCH a cute photo and I love the wreath around the photo. That background is terrific, all of the colors and patterns just give it such a happy feel like wrapping papers layed out ready to be used and that bottom layer with the stitching is the perfect base. Just adorable!

My scrapping is a creative outlet for me at least the mess stays in my head & computer and not strewn all over the sewing room. I'm strictly a memory keeper scrapper, deep personal connection to every picture I'm rescuing from the dark abyss of my various hard drives. It took me 8 non-productive...

OMG,:sick: we had oyster stew or I actually had hot oyster flavored milk with a little butter in it and some oyster crackers. I would pick out the oysters and give them to my brother, he loved them, everybody loved them except me. I don't know how old I was when I realized you could get so...
