Sunday was clearly my highlight, especially with a Snowy Owl, but it was nice having warmer weather and people and animals more active. Credits: -background, frame, bow, paint, circle, word art (4): Edward by Vicki Stegall -mask: Page Masks no. 3 by Vicki Stegall -Snowy Owl: Vintage Birds -...

The clouds are gone, the sun is shining and it's still in the 40s, so all it lovely now. Tonight we'll watch at least some of the Grammys. Chris, what up and down with the local news. So good the cat returned, but the cancer return is really tough. Love Nancy's story of the hockey program's...

We both slept late perhaps because it is so cloudy it doesn't seem like daytime. Yesterday the library trip was just the public library for movies and regular books. I did order another record today from a researcher who has a sale going. The records are at the national archives but not online...

BIL and DH had to explore these huge pieces of machinery and DH took the photo. Credits: -background, transfer: Oscraps Collab Bookish -mask: FotoBlendz Overlays No. 5 by Anna Aspnes -bird, brush: ArtPlay Palette Wish by Anna Aspnes -thread: UrbanThreadz No. 1 by Anna Aspnes -circle: Round...

The sun is shining and it's 52* so really nice. I'm going to the library shortly and a little grocery shopping. No big plans. Chris, we're going to be waiting for all those months for photos from your birthday party. Glad you had that nice day with your mom. And we all hate doing things like...

The photo is so sweet and perfect for the word art. Could be your avatar for the winter? Page is just perfect in conveying the feeling.

White Sands in the midst of the Chihuahuan desert in New Mexico is so fantastic, a bit surreal. We haven't spent lots of time there though as it isn't especially good for birds. Credits: -background, paints: Winter Walk by emeto Designs -circle, tag: Oscraps Collab Going Places fonts...

It got above freezing with a little sun so the snow is nearly gone. Had my teeth cleaned this afternoon and things are pretty good, except...my antique crown (over 50 years old) is going to have to be replaced. So sad. I have something strange to tell though. I have had continuing problems with...

More gray today but it's also snowing lightly. I actually got a page done yesterday, we're starting a new puzzle (I love it - Charlie Harper of Monteverde, a cloud forest preserve in Costa Rica we have visited) and I'm making dinner tonight. Chris, guess no one ever found the cat who made the...

Every December we visit the city greenhouse to see the poinsettias and the wonderful orchid room. Makes the winter outside seem far away. Credits: -background, frame, tag, leaf, brushes, transfer: ArtPlay Palette Sage by Anna Aspnes -stamp, paint, texture: Going Postal by Lynne Anzelc...

And how amazing that we both did sky, even sunrise photos for week 3. Seems like it must mean good things. I'm still taking lots of photos, but not every day and just using what feels right. This is more enjoyable and I just loved this week 3.

The week started with up at the sky being the better place to look than down but became a theme. Credits: -background: Oscraps Collab Dorm -paints, ribbon: Winter Walk by emeto Designs fonts: Dali, Erie, Kastler, Catriel

Love your pages! Finally did the journaling for week 2, so here it is.

Must have been feeling as gray as the weather as I never posted yesterday. But last night I put together the page for week 3 and did the writing for weeks 2 and 3 so should be able to post soon. About the Snowy Owl, no photos as it was quite distant and I've never mastered taking photos through...

Ah, Chris, I'm so sorry! Hugs to all the family. I never made it here yesterday after the meeting and today we started out with birding. That was nice as it was in the 40s though cloudy. We saw ice fishermen but found areas with some open water. Absolutely the best though was seeing a Snowy...

Another sunny day here and now above freezing! Last night had a meeting in another part of town and after DH and I had dinner at a nice steak house. It is sort of on the side of a hill and when we came out the panorama in the dark was beautiful and the very distant buildings of downtown visible...
