The portrait is just fantastic with the journaling--go, superpowers! You are organized and have a plan and I personally think you're going to nail every goal with a few waves of your cape. Cheering you on from New York

I hope you got to peek inside! I'd love that museum. Beautiful documentation.

This guy's ready for anything! Adorable! Loving the hit of green amidst all the blue--works nicely with the red of the outerwear.

Love the overlay on the face. Beautiful work!

Oh Fiona, somehow I missed the news of your mom. May her sparkly presence enrich all heaven's neighborhoods, and let's hope she whips some of those unimaginatively clad angels into stylistic shape. I'll miss her in your pages and I am so sorry for what you must be feeling. Love this layout, btw...

Wow, this is cool! I know the wild hogs basically uproot everything, but what a sight! Now I'm wondering where they went, too. We had the same issue with evening grosbeaks...for several years we were on their migratory path and then...zero. But I'm guessing the hogs don't migrate like birds...

Loving the big photo on the right--and your journaling. I am a "date person" too and always slap dates somewhere on the page--I think because my memory can be, shall we say, not accurate. You are such a fabulous grandma, not only living the experience in the moment but documenting it from future...

This has just raised my wanderlust by about a gazillion points. Beautiful work!

As so often happens with my gang, pictures arrive in stages, so the recent arrival of some cool new baby photos necessitated going back and “spreadifying” a few of my previous single pages. In the case of this new right-hand page, I went for a simple graphic design primarily because the original...

He's really a love, and yes, I'm visiting every other week. The kids are great about texting photos in between so I get to cheer on all his wonderful achievements every day LOL

LOL yeah, just about on the beanies--Jake in particular likes to collect every color. And of course the newbie has to match...and yes, Ellie seems extremely alert. I think it's all the pets constantly swirling around that fascinate him!

So many baby pictures of the new grandkiddo and not nearly enough time! Thank goodness for the aA Templates! In this layout, I started with a photo-heavy template from the multifoto collection and selected a picture or two of the newbie from each of five days, labeling them for clarity with the...

Thanks! Sparkle dots it is for me! And fiber arts with pets is certainly full of surprises!

That's about the size of it...big burp, too!

Love the color intensity here. Congrats on that Standing O!

Geez...I would love to go here. I feel like I travel vicariously through you!

I feel your Couch situation with Cher--when the pups are here, that's what we do, as they all adore the couch (and the bed). I try to work on projects that are small so I can keep snags at bay. I know what you mean about the dog hairs, too. Good luck to all on the house hunt! That's a brisk time...

Absolutely adorable! Love the little "frosting" texture between photos, and the extraction. I know a great time was had by all!

I have to remember that rounded rectangle frame for my many Instagram screen shots--it's always a challenge trying to stuff them into a layout. I like the framing on the right, too. The black is very grounding with the yellow.

Fantastical! I would not be surprised to see a unicorn peeking out! Congrats on that standing O!
