Oh, Trudy, look at you! Gorgeous mail art page is perfect to show off the dress and those delightful shoes. You look so wonderful. Paris, watch out!

It's another beautiful day here with great sleeping weather. Only problem is I don't think I accomplished much yesterday. Thursday when it was hot and humid I did go to the library where it was cool. I sat in a comfy chair in the new book reading area and worked on my computer updating my...

Still hot and humid but should end after today. Sometimes it just feels like I can hardly breathe and head is foggy. Makes scrapping and anything else hard. Have to go to the library where they have a book I requested on the Mexican War (in the 1840s). That will get me some more A/C. Felis...

The 4th of July is nearly over and we're watching fireworks on TV and hearing them all around the neighborhood. It got pretty warm again today and we were happy to find a place open for dinner where we could be cool and watch baseball on TV. I did some scrapping today and hope to do more...

I've done another one from a family history viewpoint: it certainly requires exploring and covering now and then. Credits: NBK Explore Challenge freebie I used: papers: pp7 = background pp1 = clipped to inverted mask with Hue blend mode elements: artsy bit 1 = reduced with...

Chris, this is SO beautiful. But I bet we like it better now in the heat even though it was a sign of great meaning at the time. Love the contrast to the textured paper.

The postcard used, front and back is of the Milwaukee Soldiers' Home and postmarked 1905 that I bought on eBay. My ancester didn't still live there then, but it would have been about the same. Credits: -background, old paper: Letters Home by Lynne Anzelc -postmarks: Postmarked No. 1 by Anna...

Wishing you a beautiful, happy birthday, Vera! :HapBirth:

Yesterday every thing was fine at the cemetery on a beautiful day. It was sad but good in a way to be able to touch the inscription of cousin's name and dates, finally sure this is the final place. I took photos and made a montage of them to show how pretty it is there along with the...

Still nice today, but heating up. I think I'll spend Sat. afternoon in A/C at the historical society to get a little relief. In a bit we're going to the cemetery where cousin's ashes were interred to check on the inscription that was completed recently. Otherwise the usual chores, genealogy and...

Nancy, these trophy winner pages are all super, but this one is so full of action and exciting. Love it!

Felis, so good to see your lovely pages, but sorry about that tree!! Here's my 25.

Lots or rain lately so it feels very humid. Don't want to think about how that will effect the next few days with high heat. I did get some scrapping done last night. Felis, congrats on all those scrapped pages. So glad you are so inspired. About diaries, I've never kept them on a regular...

Beautiful sunny day here but expecting thunderstorms tomorrow and a dreaded heat wave by Saturday. Weather always interesting! Chris, hope you relax and let everyone put on the party for your birthday and that all the plans come together. And the Paradise Lost LO is exquisite while...

Wishing you a faery happy birthday!! :partywine :HapBirth:

I really like this photo of the incipient fruit on our crabapple but it also seemed to have a message about growing. Credits: -background, sun, stars, blue leaf: Among the Stars by Key Lime Digi Design -leaves, ticket, stitching, birds: Easter Morning by On A Whimsical Adventure (OAWA)...
