Thanks so much, Adryane. Your comments mean a lot to me.

With the pandemic rapidly closing in, a two-day workshop in mixed-media collage still took place March 7-8, 2020. It was wonderful and inspired, I did this drawing immediately after. It is small and an odd size, so it hasn't been matted or framed. It was photographed on an old drawing board.

Waiting for spring was over and it's been happening in just a few days. The birding was great and so much fun. The Pine Warbler was special and delighted us that we were able to get a few sort of OK shots (top one mine, other 2 by DH).

Birding Saturday was wonderful. It was mostly sunny and hot (to us, just over 80). We spent 3 hours or so in the nature preserve where DH used to do bird surveys. There were lots of birds! All the migrants I hoped had arrived were there plus more. Friday and Saturday combined were like a big...

This is a perfect page for "the usual suspects"!

I love this! The effect is perfect with the energy you aimed for very evident.

I skipped a genealogy meeting this morning to sleep a little later and soon we're going birding again. Yesterday was incredible. The picnic idea was perfect as it was sunny and warm with some good birds to watch. We saw several loons, a couple close in. They are on their way north. Tree swallows...

In a bit we're picking up box lunches from the senior center. They did a pre-Thanksgiving one that we loved and this is their spring treat. We're going to take them down to the lake for a picnic and some birding since we're having summer weather. Otherwise same old same old, mainly genealogy for...

This looks so cool. Never thought to translate those crime show images into something, but a great idea.

Long ago friends of ours collected dandelions from which they made dandelion wine. Surprisingly it was quite good.

How did I miss this one? It is so lovely and I've lifted it for this month's Momma O Challenge.

I've lifted this lovely page by Veer and my try

Lovely LO by Veer that I've lifted for a treasured photo taken by my husband on a birding tour in the Yucatan in Mexico.

Interesting effect with a ripple distortion in the photo.

I had to scrap this fun visit by redpolls in April.

The sun came out and it went above freezing a bit so the snow is receding, hopefully to not return. Somehow every day feels like Monday for some reason. Hope to get over that! --Yikes, a redpoll just showed up. Exciting, and our personal first April one. @faerywings Chris, I remember when you...

How fun to do a bookmark.

We got no measurable snow in March, but April Fool!! Look at our yard. The red arrow points to pretty daffodils that opened yesterday or the day before. Chris, good to know you aren't stubborn (ROTFL!) I'd forgotten the Cait's tattoo thingee. Yup that must've gone over like a lead balloon...

I guess my answer would be YES. My first interest in digiscrapping in 2004 was to do family history for my genealogy, but it immediately began to be current memories as well. Birds got into the mix then and "artistic" stuff wasn't far off though usually has a bit of the memories too. And...
