We did get lots of snow and blowing snow but this morning it was pretty nice and not as cold as it will be (just under 20 instead of single digits), our drive got plowed, a neighbor kid helped DH shovel remaining bits and nephew and his wife are coming over at 2:00. But now it is snowing and...

I chickened out and decided not to go to the meeting. The question was really one of timing and it seems I should have gone as it didn't start snowing here until noon with the wind not picking up for a while after that. Oh well, I felt better to be safe either way. Tonight I'm making chili and...

I'm still here but haven't been inspired to scrap anything lately. I have been spending lots of time on Puzzle Up and also genealogy things. Tomorrow is our computer genealogy group meeting across town that runs from 9:30 to 2:00 and we are supposed to get a big snow storm and wind tomorrow...

Just a quick HI before I'm off to a genealogy meeting so I can surprise you by posting this early. :hello:

Lovely template that I've used for some family history birthdays. Could be a great prompt for blog posts? Credits: all by Lynne Anzelc Designs -template: 2019 Birthday Calendar https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showpost.php?p=596983&postcount=1 -background: Owl Be Seeing You -book: The...

I'm so happy to do something with this photo my DH took while on his early morning bird survey in a nature preserve back in October. He doesn't normally take a camera, but he usually sees some deer. Credits: lift of December 2018 52 Inspirations Challenge by veer...

Happy New Year, everyone! Much cooler today, gray, windy but not raining. DH is watching the only bowl game on regular TV and working on the first look at Puzzle Up. We had a nice dinner out last night and had our champagne at midnight. I'm with Felis in not taking down decorations until at...

The senior center is open today and DH got H&S to agree to meeting even w/o their usual leader. There were six, five of them the main group before the "leader" came back to town and one new one. They had a very good time and did some very strange verses to Auld Lang Syne ("translated" by one who...

When DH got up early this am it was still too windy so he came back to bed. The Moroccan chicken is in the crockpot now and I think he was not totally happy we were planning to eat in tonight as going out would at least have let him see part of one of today's big bowl games. They are all on ESPN...

Gray day here and it was windy last night, nothing serious, just a few little branches in the driveway but DH cancelled this morning's bird survey as they are not useful in the wind (you're listening for birds as well as looking) and will try tomorrow if the wind lets up. Otherwise, guess it's...

This is one of my favorites of the cards! So elegant and lovely looking like a gift ready to open.

Sounds like everyone had a rewarding Christmas in one way or another. Ours was the usual happy time but missing input from DH's cousin. I pretty much got everything done including the 4-page family history news for DH's family that I've done for 20 years. Now I should be doing other things that...

Kerstin, thank you so much for liking my Christmas tree! Gave me a big smile.

Trees are my signs of the season that I often photograph and also can become art in my eyes. Credits: 52 Inspirations {2018} -background: no. 20, papers by Crafty Button Design -tape: no. 26, mixed media tape by Vicki Robinson Designs -paint: no. 37, Childhood Memories by Mediterranka...

The Hum & Strum holiday sing along is always fun and I enjoy making a page for them. DH is the one on the far right. Credits: all by Anna Asnpes -background, etc.: ArtPlay Palette Bravura -music: ArtPlay Palette Evanish -tree charm, brush: ArtPlay Palette Christmas Tree -transfer...

And a Merry Christmas to you, Heather! Love seeing you post here now and then. Hope everyone is ready to relax and enjoy. :fireplace:

What a sweet page for the family photo! Love it.

Week 49 with fun things and a few days of non-stop genealogy work.

Fun days until Thursday evening when I had my work cut out for me. And snow came that day too. Credits: -background, music, flower, angel, charm: Oscraps Collab Merry & Bright -transfer: ArtsyTransfers Evanish by Anna Aspnes -transfer, clock: ArtPlay Palette Evanish by Anna Aspnes...

Really glad I took in that webinar. The speaker has some really good ideas and some sites or uses I hadn't thought of. I immediately made use of one of the ideas. This morning DH did his bird survey but it was pretty quiet though pretty nice out. In a bit we're going to the natural history...
