Felis, congratulations on making the journey through the weeks of 2017. I appreciated sharing it with you. It helps me so much to have a friend along the way. For me this madness began so simply in 2008 when the owner of my digital scrapbook site (no longer in business) proposed a challenge...

Felis, I'm so happy to have caught up now, and here you are with a cover! Good for you. When I printed my 2013 book, I was in a hurry to use a coupon, had designed a front cover, but not a back. I picked a LO from the year that I especially liked for the back. Maybe I'll do that for 2017 and use...

How perfect! The font really is just right for this lovely, joyous page.

Yesterday I went to the historical society to see if they are set up for me to see a book online that has restricted access. They aren't, at least yet, but it gave me a chance to see a lady who works there again before she retires tomorrow. DH also came and explored a new exhibit and got to look...

Cheryl, don't believe Felis that I have an interesting life. :biggrin: I photograph things everyday, but like today it was snow on a branch along the driveway. Glad you're joining us at the O! Welcome. :welcome:

Felis, I'm delighted with the standing O for the cat puzzles! Thank you so much. And the Christmas tree "skirt" is a beauty. Think she and Diane's "Doe" lady would make an interesting pair.

Felis, here is a page of our 2017 puzzles with cats:

Beautiful photo and such a great treatment of it. Feels exciting.

They are so adorable and so is your page. Brave lady to have 8 kitties, but lots of kitty love in return.

All your December pages are great, but this is especially enchanting. Very nicely done (and of course I like the hawk addition.)

Last night I discovered that when your car has heated seats and it's running while you clear the snow off in 13* weather you get in to a warm seat. Pretty obvious, but never thought of it until it happened. It may not snow today but it continues in the teens. Chris, must be interesting to...

Have to be glad I'm not in Erie, PA, with 52 inches of snow. We only have a few but it sure is cold. I've been catching up on all my scrapping and keeping warm indoors. Chris, about DNA: your children get half of their DNA from each you and Gary. BUT it's not the same 50%. So Scott and Cait...

Thanks, Vera! Here's week 47 so now I'm through week 50!

Thanksgiving was great and working on the book really got going. Credits: -background: Remembrance, Paperset: Solids by NBK Design -elements: Golden and Joyful by emeto Designs fonts: Many Weatz, Erie, PetraScriptEF Regular, Corbel

We've had this poinsettia several years now and it is always fascinating to watch it change. I enjoyed doing this with blend ranges (similar to Blend if...). Credits: by NBK Design -template: Challenge free template December 2017 -background: Intuitive, paper-pack: Vintage Gesso fonts...

OK, week 48 is here and just have to journal week 47 before jumping up to 51. I'll get there!

A strangely warm week for the date with interesting things going on. Credits: -background: Color Crush {Two} Messy by Joyful Heart Design -pale design: Quotations, artsy bits and pieces by NBK Design -ornament, evergreen, stocking: Oscraps Collab Rustic Christmas -leaf: Dynamic Visions...
