Eva @tanteva we do have magpies in the US, but only in parts of the west. They're called Black-billed Magpies, but look (or maybe are) the same as those in Europe. Here's their range map: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/assets/photo/31958531-480px.jpg. Then parts of central California have a...

Oh, WOW, what great news. Thanks so much. Lovely shopping coming up. ;)

Love the layering of the papers with the cut outs and then the photo and frame over them. Also beautifully done and super quote.

Never a paper scrapper, just digi.

That is probably the way to go to be consistent with tradition. I'm used to horizontal ones where male goes above, female below, no surprise there, eh?

Chris, so sorry to be late, but happy birthday!!! (and where are the great birthday emojis?) Balloons, wine, chocolate for you.

Sorry to be silent so long, but ideas in my head just don't make it into words most days. Nice things happening here. H&S is meeting in person (except today they went back to Zoom as the person whose place they're meeting is away). The senior center may be reopening today, but reduced hours and...

Chris, thank you so much! I appreciate it especially as this one didn't want to come together for a while.

I love the little azure butterflies that some out when the silky dogwood blooms in June.

What a nice idea and lovely results!

Beautiful flower on a woodland tree but usually pretty high to get a good photo, so pleased with this one of a tulip tree bloom.

Nancy @nancyr I got an order from Mixtiles and love them. But I have my doubts about the longevity of them on the wall. I guess I'll find out.

Beautiful and so creative. Love the flight photo and what you did with it. Perfect touches of color.

Happy belated birthday. Sounds like it was a lovely one.

Beautifully done! It's a fantastic story and the page does it justice. The cluster with details is a great idea.

My aunt made a copy of this photo for my family for which I am very grateful. I only learned about Caleb and the Civil War relatively recently so never scrapped about that part before.

Thanks Vera. It's a Nikon P1000. Old camera was 14 yrs old, telephoto lens even older, so it was time. Rae and Nancy R both liked it and I learned of it from them.

From the daily O's I learned of a camera that sounded perfect for my DH and when I told him I wanted to get one for his birthday he was very pleased. This Wood Thrush was a beautiful subject for his first foray with it.

Your graphic styles are working so well. This is beautiful

What a great watery look! Love that background paper. Nice happy image perfect with the bit of red.
