DH saved this branch for me to photograph because it had all these lovely lichens. Not a healthy status, but I'll take it anyway. Credits: (some colors changed with blending modes) -paper: Wonderfall, Solids by Vicki Stegall -frame, paint: Breathe (different parts) by Vicki Stegall -word...

Happy Birthday, Diane! Hope it is a lovely day. :bday

I think it's great for Art Journaling and how so many of us feel too. Love your wonderful blending and colors.

This is a lovely page, my favorite colors too. Nice to see the comparison!

They are so adorable! What a nice way with the blending and colors.

October 12 was special and even fairly warm. The birds were everywhere and while Yellow-rumped Warblers are a very common migrant, seeing (and hearing) them so numerous was grand. I want to remember it as a magic day. Credits: all by Vicki Stegall -background paper: Breathe, textured papers...

We're back to another football Sunday. We've had some beautiful sunny days and got out a little on some of them. Today is a little gray and coolish. Mostly days go by much the same. Chris, I get shivers thinking about all of you in the crowd at the craft fair. But, so glad Leah had the...

DH is doing H&S and I've done the bills, etc. Later groceries and picking up a book at the library where apparently there is now browsing. Still cold but some sun. Chris, maybe the hugging dreams are to get you that feeling without having to do it? Really hoping Scott's interview went well...

These photos reveal a little of the awkward way the Hairy Woodpecker has to use the thistle feeder. We are so happy to see him come to it. Credits: -paper: ArtPlay Palette Embers by Anna Aspnes -frames: Oscraps Collab Falling for You -art stroke, gold paint, brush, overlay: ArtPlay Palette...

Today's another football Sunday which is just as well as it's gray, damp and chilly out. We got to see the Browns defeat Dallas to go up to 3-1 and had our weekly popcorn. It still surprises me to get Amazon deliveries on Sunday, but my box of kitchen toys came during the game. My old kitchen...

This morning was a Zoom genealogy meeting and this afternoon we had a long call with DH's brother. Then we were just in time to watch the Preakness and see a filly win it. Always a fun result. DH is just fine now and hopefully test results will be too. Chris, Gary's got things really going...

Kerstin, thank you so much for comment on my page - sure put a smile on my face!
