One heck of a gorgeous spread!

So serene!

I'm loving that boat parade and the deep festivity you bring to the spread. And as a Northeasterner, my Christmas muscle memory tends to balk at Decembers without icy winds, clouds of steam from NYC food carts, pine forests, and snow. But looking at your layout, I'm feeling what you're feeling...

Wow, the plot thickens. That's how it happens, though, an evolution. I am so relating to this. PS: Our "back to the land" dream was modified, too.

Absolutely awesome! And a treasure to add to an album. Also loving the candy!

Those curlers! Yup. What we did. I like how this layout is "heritage," but with a modern twist. Nicely done!

So classic. It's getting me in the spirit!

This is adorable. I love how you repeated the tiger!

When I knit, sometimes I compulsively work out the sizing beforehand with a gauge swatch, and sometimes I just dive in. This sweater is the result of the latter approach. It's a 9-12 month size pattern, but since I used a thicker yarn than was called for, the size morphed to about a 2T. I was...

Thanks! This is one of those layouts where I let the digital supplies do all the work. I picked an Artsy Paper, blended in my photo, popped in a background, title, added a few bits and pieces and...it was done before the dishwasher finished its cycle!

Thank you so much! Made my day!

Ooops, apologies for my confusing language. The tree is from the Yare APP...I duplicated it and used different blending modes on each one. The way I wrote it sounds like the APP was "Twice," but that was just me hitting "duplicate layer"!

What crazy good documentation! This project is a work of Heart for sure.

Totally jolly! Love your use of the white stains!

I'm with you on "breakfast heaven"! This is a delicious page!

I am loving extracting via iPhone! Love the trio of selfies on this spread.

Unexpected and so lovely!

Always love to see the background of your "new normal." We had started hiking the local waterfalls in the fall, and are still able to get out there...fun to see them change with the seasons.

Yeah, that's true about the singles, but then sometimes you forfeit the flow across the spread. Sometimes I post as three separate pieces--left, right, and spread--but that can seem like overkill. No black/white answer, that's for sure!

Terrific segmentation!
