I used (just) two NBK products. Process Notes here: https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=385124&title=process-notes-for-january-mountains The quotation is Ursula Le Guin's translation of Lao Tze's "The Wheel," which I saw in a lesson plan about notan, a...

All supplies are Anna's

I made only minor changes to Anna's template. Other supplies from NBK Designs and Vicki Stegall.

.dmg files are mac virtual disk images. They're a common way to distribute mac files, so you've probably encountered one already. When you click on one, another icon that looks like an external drive shows up on your desktop. It's the new one that has to be scanned for viruses. Scanning the one...

A browser redirect is actually malware and it looks like a minor pain to get rid of it. If it's happening in all your browsers, you are probably infected. There seems to be a lot of similar advice on the internet as to how to get rid of the malware and reset your browsers. Even Macs need...

I used one of Anna's brush strokes and did everything else from scratch.

Journaling: The boys each had a felt stocking decorated with a tree. Every Christmas, from infancy to freshman year in college, we added an ornament to each tree - usually something reflecting their current interests. When I look at the stockings I "see" them growing up. My son's...

Journaling: How did I come to regard the VA Hospital's chapel - really just another nondescript grey-green room inside the building's drab brutalist shell - as my "parish" while in school? For starters, it was right across the street - an important consideration, especially during...

I made the big snowflake in my LO "Fire and Ice" https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=383471 using this technique. It doesn't really produce a kaleidoscopic collage, but it's a good way of getting repeating images rotated around a center. If you have the full version...

Your cat looks like quite a character :)

Found this on a computer wallpaper site - for the smile game

Credits: in addition to Soco's template, I used various bits from the Rustic Christmas kit and a string from Scrappy Bug.

Credits: Anna Aspnes and OScraps 7th birthday celebration Journaling (prompt = what are you doing during the holidays): I am struggling - again - to avoid gaining weight during the holidays. From Thanksgiving to New Year's we have two birthdays (often celebrated more than once), numerous...

Credits: Anna Aspnes Poem by Lucy Larcom: If an apple blossom or a ripe apple could tell its own story, it would be, still more than its own, the story of the sunshine that smiled upon it, of the winds that whispered to it, of the birds that sang around it, of the storms that visited it, and...

I've been reflecting on the sad fact that our economy is driven to a large extent by the tradition of giving useless junk during the holiday season. The word art and journaling (which you can't really see) come from a very articulate, thought-provoking essay by George Mobiot in The Guardian...
