Looking good, snowbirds! Can't get enough of those palm trees!

SO enigmatic! What a photo, and what you did with it is really terrific. Love the journaling (and the question)!

Love the way the colors work on this page.

Excellent visual for a bleak February morning. Beautiful framing!

Very sweet design!

Happy birthday Oz! A bright sunny day for a celebration! Love the big focal photo!
