My first challenge. I hope I have understood everything correctly. I call the layout "Keep close to nature's heart" (Wordart by Simplette). All elements from Anna Aspnes Design.

Das ist großartig, Sylvia! Ohne Deinen Namen vorher gelesen zu haben. Wo nimmst Du die Ideen her? Einfach großartig das Gesamtpaket! #clap

Meet the O'Shaughnessys' on a Sunday morning in Greeny Village long time ago. With the offer of sweets, a long friendship developed between the children and the dachshunds. I made this layout in loving memory of my soulmate Odin. I used all lovely elements (except the doggies) from Lorie Davison.

Thanks so much, Vicki! I already feel very comfortable with you!

@Cherylndesign Thank you for the warm welcome, Cheryl! I already feel very much at home with you! We will get to know each other even better. It's good to talk to women. Here at home I have a husband and two male dachshunds. Too much testosterone, I think. It's the everyday things that annoy us...

@LSlycord Thank you for the introduction, Linda. Then you still have a lot to prepare for Brian's birthday ... But I think you like to do that, when the children come and everyone is together, you forget all the preparations. I had to laugh about the names of your dogs "Newfypoo" and...

Love to see more dogs here in the gallery. Nice little guy :heartpumpred:

Wonderful page!

What a beautiful home!!! And a wonderful page!

Good afternoon, Ladies! :cool: I haven't read all your daily reports yet, but I really wanted to give you a pot of fresh coffee while you're already busy telling your stories! And maybe a glass of champagne to toast and get to know you better? Or should I bake something quickly? :rotfl: I'm...

Hi Chris, hang in there in cold NY! That's what the Google translation says. I would have said hold on and make yourselves comfortable. When I was still translating lyrics from my favourite bands, I bought a thick dictionary of American slang. But I think it's so outdated now that I can't use it...

We call this beautiful bird "Roter Kardinal" in Germany. I like the soft colours in the page.

A sweet little Darling. Lovingly set in scene. :heartpumpred:

We also protect everything that flies and crawls, but ticks transmit terrible diseases for humans and animals in Europe. They are the only creatures I don't like. We live in a village and if a mouse sneaks into the cellar, we set up a live trap and take it to the nearby forest with a ration of...

Thank you, Linda! He's a nice little guy and he loves Micky Mouse :)

Thank you, Vicki! I am so excited! What a lovely start here at the Oscraps Family :heartpumpred:

Thank you! :heartpumpred: Since I don't have my own children and grandchildren, my dachshunds have to go to the fantasy worlds. Lorie and Lynne offer wonderful possibilities. I have tons of layouts with the dogs. I've sent them to the bottom of the ocean in underwater suits or into the air in...

Thank you, Cheryl! Oh, you live in Florida, too? It must be wonderful to live there! I wish I could see it one day. :)

It's only football. 76 million euros ... Unbelievable! :p
