Love the layout! Caught my eye with with candy-like colors and options available. And then I saw Daffins in Pennsylvania. I grew up and went to school in the town of their original location, Sharon. How delightful! Daffins was my mother's favorite place to go when we visited.

I understand your frustration and your piece is effective at conveying that. But, frankly, I wish there was less propaganda, less hype, less anger, less name calling, less sensationalism, fewer generalizations and just more LOCAL factual information concerning the situation. Where I live in the...

Marijke, Thank you for such a compliment. I am flattered.

Thank you so much FloridaGranny. I was going to ask you what takes you from Florida to Maryland, but decided against it. :-)

Nice use of colors to complement the photos and theme. Congratulations on the GSO!

I just had to reply to all of you as I am totally flattered and humbled by your kind words and comments. Joanne's tools are so very fun tools with which to work and play. Thanks again to all of you.

So, since my son has been stationed in South Korea for over 18 months and will probably be there for a while longer, my husband and I decided we should go visit. I'm thrilled that we got a great deal on our plane tickets, which I just booked, so this trip is the theme of my second mood boardput...

Thank you so much for your kind words. After playing for a long time with so many pieces (and then some), I finally decided to be done and call it quits. Your comment has motivated me to try another. Thank you again.

Beautiful recreation of the feel of the environment. The card on left with brush strokes is a wonderful and effective touch.

My French is very rusty, but it does not matter. Visually, your pages tell a very appealing story. Very lovely!

So my son is currently stationed in South Korea. Every once in a while, he sends me phone pictures that are very compressed. I'm thinking this challenge with the film frames' small size would be a good way to document some of the things he has seen. This is my first attempt and it was a lot of...

Joanne's freebie template for the Advent Challenge So I lifted Christy's idea of using one photo thinking that the individual frames might force focus on detail spots in the image. Has potential. Trying to finish a book for a friend of a Peace Corps experience.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment and the kind words. I loved the photo that contained the extraction, but couldn't get the entire thing to work. Following much time, I was most happy with this result, except I already see things I would change. I finally just had to stop and post...

Thanks so much, Trudy! I'm very flattered, especially to be in such great company. BTW, love your new glasses.

Thanks for the comment. That's funny. Not much of a treatment on the shovelthat's it's actual color. We have all kinds of colors of snow shovels to brighten these snow days. I hope we don't get a storm like this either. This is my son who is now stationed overseas. He was a big help while he was...
