In 1984, when working as a nurse, I got the mandatory flu shot. I had a horrible reaction and was told to never get it again. Then, after retirement, after I moved to NC, they talked me into another one and it made me sicker than anything in my life. So I am never allowed to take it again. Then...

So beautiful. There is something so refreshing about black & white with a hint of color. Wonderfully done.

What gorgeous photos and I love the stacking of the elements. Wonderful design!

Oh I love those tropical colors and positive affirmations. Lovely

Oh my gosh I love the representation of the giraffe. Perfect symbolism. You make me smile. :)

Wonderful idea! I think we should all take better care of ourselves & focus on us and we become a better person for everyone else after we've done that. :) Beautiful way to proclaim your goal.

What lovely ladies and I really like your stacking of papers and using the framing to allow the papers to be seen. Great layout.

Ohhh look at that texture. Perfect title as this makes me happy thinking of being on the shimmering water. The gesso on the left bottom with the darker blue beneath really bring the color of the water to the edge of the page. I like the "water lapping over" the edge of photo on left...

I love b/w designs and that touch of teal is fabulous. I love the then & now photos! This makes me smile.

Oh look how young your son was. Adorable photos. You are the master of these truly wonderful simple designs with such amazing outcomes. Beautiful

I love this! I love the colors, the textures, the frame stitching and the stamps! Now I have "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" song in my head. :) Gorgeous.

What a precious photo and I love the two uses of it. I like the stacking of altered papers below the photo. Beautiful design, Vera.

Oh I love all that texture. Beautiful design. Great combination of the mustard yellow and deep purples & green.

What grand colors and design and such a strong message! Beautiful. Congrats on the Standing O!

I'm retired, but yet the hours escape me. I can certainly tell that I have slowed down over the last two years. I live alone so I don't have "clean me" coming my direction from every room, like when I had kids at home, but I swear my house gets dusty even more it seems. I just take one day a...

Bringing up the rear ... Happy Belated Birthday, Marleen! I hope it was great and that you're still celebrating! :)
