The Mourning Doves that feed in our yard fly up when we go out but they don't go very far and this pair made a nice grouping.

Oh so perfect! I can hardly believe it, fairy mice just for you. Delightful storybook page.

This is lovely and so it that cat. And the boxes are great even when you don't fit. Almost missed the "goofy" label that is so cute.

This grabbed my fancy and was such fun. Thanks for the challenge and nice link.

This was fun to make a tag. Photo of Black-capped Chickadee is by my DH.

A little late, but Happy Birthday!!! Susie. :jumpingcake:

Oh, WOW! :sunnyeyes:

Cheryl, I'm so pleased this spoke to you! Best compliment of all. Thanks for the comments on it and my apparent AJ style (that I didn't know I had.) AJ has been a journey for me and I'm delighted you think it's working. :lovey3:

Various stories, many not my own, bubble in my head with this one, but I've just put in the basics.

I think we each carry a gunny sack filled with the past: hurts, disappointments, failures, and it can be a heavy load to lug around. Not easy to let go though.

Susie @pachimac I don't think I've done any in color like that but I can imagine matching colors to a kit or putting a frame around the drawing. I've done line drawings which can work various ways. Here's one: https://oscraps.com/community/media/accept-those-knees.359870/ I did using black lines...

Here's someone who was special.

Helen was a great MiL and I'm happy to do a tribute to her.

Oh, Susan, thank you so much for seeing all this in my LO about my mother's influence! Wonderful surprise for me to get this standing O!

Great retro feel with the B&W and paper strips. You really carried off the challenge.

Maybe not what you're looking for but it's what came to mind.

My mother was a strong influence in our family, hopefully more on the positive side as this describes.

Some of the joys in May here.

I couldn't pick one or two favorites of spring in May, so air brushed parts of different flowers and a bunny all in or around our yard.
