Birding on New Year's Day is a tradition for me when I start a new list of birds for the year. 2024 started better than expected but the weather since has mostly been even worse.

Thanks for the party and for my prize. Congratulations to all! :lovey3:

Chris @faerywings I want to thank you for the recipe for Cheesy Enchilada Rice Skillet. I finally made it tonight and we really enjoyed it. :lovey3: And about calling people magpies, years ago we used to see a group of women from a department store at dinner in the mall and that's what my DH...

I love close ups! Thanks for the challenge.

Tracks in the snow are always fun even when they're from the trash bin. The oak tree keeps shedding leaves that hang around the edges now.

I used 1 template, 1 photo, 1 word art, 3 foliage, 5 papers (bkgd, strip, & 3 masked with parts of the template), 5 elements (spatter, silver paint & color change layer from template), 1 confetti.

This is a display of various train sets that my niece's husband has running in their party center. It is amazing when he gets them all going.

:xmas6: Hope everyone has/had a wonderful day.

Wishing you all a happy whatever you celebrate! Here's our digital card with a photo of a Tennessee Warbler DH took in September.

It's only had one short season, but you might like Will Trent (ABC). It's got a new season coming late February. Since I like the same shows you do, it might be OK. I used to watch Criminal Minds but turn off the sound and look away during the creepy parts. Finally quit it entirely. I don't know...

I know nothing about Bosch on TV but I do read the books. ;) Years ago I got my DH a CD with a 1957 recording of Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane that had been found at the Library of Congress and I learned of it from one of the books. But then when you read the books you only have to listen to...

Fabulous, this jumps out of the gallery. Love all the silver and gold, texture and dimension.

Vera, thank you so much for liking my Christmas ATC!:dancing6:I want to credit @isDK for the idea to do an ATC with the new Collab from the party. The Collab has such wonderful goodies.

Somehow I never thought pink for this photo but you have made it perfect. Love all the soft colors.

Another lovely ATC. Love all the green and the trees. Nice depth for a small space.

I've used a lot of the Christmas kit, none that I'd already used, to create this ATC for Christmas and thanks for the Collab and the party. Thanks to isDK for this idea!

This is delightful and I so love that reindeer. Thanks for this idea that kept the party going another day for me.

Here are seashells: I'd like to see holly berries.

Nice photo for the challenge.
