It looks great, and what a super idea to do the template this way. Adding the other circle element is perfect too.

Oh how perfect and delightful!! Way to make it especially yours with all the golf stuff but so pretty too.

We thought about doing some birding this afternoon but it is cloudy, foggy, drizzly so we decided not to. I'm going to the library instead. Yes, thanks, I did the proofreading for my friend. Also sent the email version of the family history newsletter and got some nice replies already. The book...

Elaina, thanks so much for putting a smile on my face today because you chose my ornaments for a Standing O! So glad you like it.

We've never had a tree, but still have ornaments. These must be my favorites though simple and small. I think of the Frosty the Snowman lyrics and imagine some magic in whatever might bring them to life. Credits: -background, tree, overlay, evergreen branches: Winter Walk by emeto Designs...

Forgot all about a page I need to proofread for a friend. Yikes. told her I'd try Monday night and now it's Thursday. Great memory! Chris, the vet's office must have been such fun with all the various goodies, you, Cait and the rats. We know you'll love getting your hair done and feel more...

I've always been so glad I took my older friend on this trip. I designed it for her to be able to experience New Mexico and see some new birds (she saw five) even with a bad knee that made it impossible for her to walk much. As it turned out, this would be her last big birding trip. But day two...

DH did his weekly bird survey this morning and is napping now. We're meeting a friend for a bit this afternoon. Cousin is doing well apparently, so time will tell. Felis, you sound just like the rest of us, not sure where the Santa remains went. Hope your busy work time is just for income and...

Beautiful pages, and what an amazing experience it must have been.

Sharron, this is so beautiful! I'm also impressed because it is so far from your usual designs. An Applebees never looked so good.

Can hardly believe all our snow is gone and it is 51 F. Slept long, perhaps recovering from the intensity of all the past days. Cousin had surgery last night and reports it "went well" but was cancerous. Don't know what treatment she'll face, but should be home by Thursday. Chris, oh no...

DH's Hum & Strum group at the senior center plays a sing-along after the Dec. potluck lunch each year. Deck the Halls is one of their songs and this line from it seems perfect as a title for their page. Credits: -background, elements: Golden and Joyful by emeto Designs -paper circles: 52...

Aww, that it perfect! How did you get a shot of a sleepy pup? Like the clustering with the frame

Just love poinsettias, especially now that DH tends to one that blooms each year at our house. Credits: -background: Oscraps Collab Rustic Christmas -elements: Golden and Joyful by emeto Designs -frames/masks: Sketchbook, Instant Photos Clusters by Joanne Brisebois Designs fonts: Old...

Between yesterday and today I got the books wrapped and ready for mailing, finished the 4-page family history newsletter I now do every December (it goes to same people as the book plus even more as a different side of DH's family), got it printed and into cards for those needing snail mail...
