It's fun to photograph a bird using our bird bath and none seem to get more out of it than an American Robin. Credits: -background: Art Table mixed media backgrounds 2 by Vicki Robinson -stitching: Indispensable, stitches by Jopke Designs -transfer, brushes, word art, splatter: ArtPlay...

Already feeling the heat but started the day feeling refreshed. Thunderstorms are coming and a nice cool day tomorrow. I'm dreading it though as I return to the dentist to have the tooth out. Yesterday we had such a treat at the custard place. I had a scoop each of chocolate custard and black...

Wonderful sea otters shot! What an experience this all must have been.

It will be over 90 again today and some schools without A/C are closed. We did well yesterday between the movie and eating dinner out. Today I'm planning a shopping trip with a frozen custard stop. That should keep us cool in both the car and stores. The movie "Puzzle" was interesting. It's...

Oh, Chris, thank you so much. I was really excited with this one, so glad you thought so too.

A little bittersweet remembering this day as most in the photo are gone, but it was so exciting to an eight-year-old. It is an old color snapshot that I've done my best to restore. Credits: -background: Pale Backgrounds by foxeysquirrel -gesso: Gesso and Lace by foxeysquirrel -frame/mask...

I love how black-eyed susan blooms just say summer. They bloom in masses everywhere, these at our senior center. Credits: -background: Texture & Paint #1 by Jopke Designs -thread: Indispensable stitches by Jopke Designs -brushes (used to paint photo): ArtPlay Palette Bravura by Anna...

Beautiful page and the darker background is right for it. Fascinating story too. Love the effect of these frames.

It's hot again here but this afternoon we're going to see the new movie "Puzzle" as I'm intrigued by the idea of jigsaw puzzle competitions. So we'll be entertained and air-conditioned. The senior center closes a week in August every year for deep cleaning and this is it, so no H&S for DH and...

Wonderful combination of elements to capture your golden feeling and beautiful photos.

Catching up with week 31 here.

Beautiful contrast between Newark and the rest. Great shot of Mt. Hood and all put together so well to start the book. The word art is super.

Oh, WOW! The photo, silhouette and line drawing all work perfectly together along with that camel line. What a handsome page.

The page really conveys the excitement of beginning. And birds in flight too?

Great way to start out, wearing the same shirt! Good look to the page with the darker paper.

It's slow going, but here is week 30. When I saw this template I thought it was just what I needed for this weekly.

The stormy weather somewhat kept it cooler but wetter not to mention interesting. Credits: -template: Artsy Layered Template No. 274 by Anna Aspnes -background: Magical Moments: Papers by emeto designs -mask: 12 X 12 Page FotoBlendz No. 9 by Anna Aspnes -overlay: ArtPlay Palette Fernweh by...

Today has been pretty quiet but warming up. Facial swelling is nearly gone so hopefully the infection is under control. Amanda, same old, same old, is my usual life I think, but not necessarily a bad thing. Chris, so sorry you are worn out, but it was an interesting time. Also sorry boxes...

Felis, I'm happy to see you're getting these done. I said I had four assembled, so here's the first of those, week 29. Of course now there are two MORE weeks to cover.
