I watched a video about finding peace while watching the horrors of genocide in Ukraine, and the bottom line is to have empathy for both sides and do what you can to help those in need. This page was inspired by its message to keep moving forward to send healing to the people.

I used only products from previous ColorPlay releases to make this card. And the funny thing is, each month I make something in my notebook the week of the color release using the colorPLAY promo colors from the HAPS newsletter, and it seems like I'm usually never remotely close to what actually...

You said it was like a picture postcard. There was a nice hike on the trail between these rocks, and I remember finding lots of juncos and sparrows on a rustic rail fence. There aren't a lot of vistas in the park, but lighting and scene would be changing every day all year long.

Inspired by Joyful Heart's freebie papers in Jan 22 HAPS newsletter...

Inspired by Joyful Heart's newest Floral Grunge 18 papers.

Inspired by the new Floral Grunge 17 from Joyful Heart Designs. I love to make photos of the eyes (and ears) of bunnies glowing in sunshine.

Inspired by new Joyful Heart papers in this week's 52 Inspirations. I recolored things so this card will work next to my most recent book page in my daily notebook.

We waited for the day with the best weather for the week, to drive Pikes Peak Highway. After the toll the first stop overlooked Highway 24. I was already above 8,000 ft and by the stop at 9,250 ft was very thankful for the oxygen. I was feeling good, but knew we'd have to climb very slowly.

I wanted to see about swapping Joyful Heart's paper into Lynn Anzelc's book, Mr. Stone loves steampunk, and Valentines Day was in my thoughts. (I always warned him to be careful what you wish for.)

Dr. Rose called and wanted to see me Friday. Of course it was a yes. So we were up early and on our way home. The road was black ice, but we allowed plenty of time. What I'd remember most of all about that day, was how happy "Every Breath You Take" playing in the waiting room made me.

Thanks Esther for the challenge. It helps me focus and get real work done. ;)
