Very different and wonderful use of Nicole's products. Beautiful.

Sublime brushwork and blending. Love those old windmills...SO much better than the ugly contemporary ones that have ruined so many vistas in the western US.

I'm weird. I only like to listen to music when I'm in my office, and when here, my computer plays my Spotify songs for me. Alexa is just redundant for me in every way. I'm glad you and my DS love her so much. Everyone needs love. ;)

Cindy, I am glad someone stepped forward to defend Alexa. I was feeling sort of sorry for "her." But alas, you haven't convinced me. She is boxed up and ready to go back to DS's house. I know she will be appreciated and well used there.

Impressive! The gorgeous photo. The long walk. The beautiful layout. Love your brushwork and the photo shadow.

I LOVE front porches. My DD's house has one, and it is such a fun part of my visit with her in Utah. Not as big or cozy as yours, but still...Love your page. Those birds are perfect...representing your little nest.

PLUS!!!! I HAVE to believe that if Alexa can hear me, so can the people who own her! Sure. They SAY they don't connect until I say her name, but I am discovering that, as Dr. House always said, "Everyone lies." The Thought Police are getting closer and closer. I don't want a knock on the door...

Beautiful use of the NB kit with this adorable photo.

Who KNEW? LOL Glad it's official. Kind of how I feel when the doctor finds something she can actually diagnose instead of being puzzled and telling me to keep an eye on it!

Yes, Chris, that was the wording I had in mind. Money isn't an issue with this DS! He already has two Echoes but I'm sure he has another room that will accommodate one, so it won't go to waste.

Beautiful! ....the hike and the layout! Love your clusters.

argh. The white noise feature is useless. It goes through its cycle, then stops for several seconds and starts again. Well, THAT wakes me up! One step closer to being returned to DS and chancing his hurt feelings.

SO striking! Into my favorites. One of my favorite songs ever is "The Wonder of You," sung by Elvis...but no wild about him otherwise.

Remarkable! Love what the lens flare did for this already perfect photo.

You've really captured the whole experience. Beautiful but sad.

Nice to add the 4 small detailed photos to your beautiful central blended one.

Amazing mask...love those drips. The stitches work! (I would have been too cowardly to try that placement, but love the effect.)
