I'm terrible at selfies, but decided ones with me lurking on the side were perfect - for this idea. Credits: -background: Remembrance, Paperset: Solids by NBK Design -mask: ArtTherapy No.2, Blending Masks by NBK Design -numbers: ArtPlay Palette Celebrate by Anna Aspnes -paintbrush...

Gray day, still fairly warm (50s - but tomorrow comes the cold) doing bills, laundry and work on the book. Feel like a nap would be good. :ballchain: Chris, welcome to the Christmas season. So glad the open house sales went well and all of you sold things. But poor Brendan with the car. How...

Welcome to the O from another in NE Ohio!

Sunny, not too cold, maybe I'll get out briefly. Otherwise watching football with DH and working on the book. It suddenly seems like I see the end down there a ways. And last night somehow I got hooked into scrapping a challenge and love the result. Chris, hope your open house is going...

It is amazing to think it was so snowy four years ago on Dec. 14. Maybe it's coming soon. Credits: artsy lift of 'love this memory' by weaselwatchr https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=377821&title=love-this-memory&cat=1607 -papers, frame, mask, word art: Oscraps...

You already know how much I love this one. The fonts, patterns, idea and the fab photo of you combine wonderfully.

I'm stuffed after our potluck, wanting to fall asleep. I'm still down at the historical society where it is nice and quiet. Tonight will be Ohio State football and I'm making some pasta. And work on the book. Chris, good vibes for tomorrow. How nice you've all sold something already. You are...

The lunch was lovely and met a nice couple at our table. After it was raining so we didn't go out in the wildlife area even though they provided umbrellas. But Lance (Lancelot) the porcupine was on hand indoors to get our oohs and ahs. We first saw him when he was little. He is very biddable as...

We're going to a lunch at the natural history museum shortly. Hope it is fun. I'm taking photos, but the last week's page is going to have to wait while I work on the book. Can hardly think of anything else but have to take breaks to not think about it at all. Chris, sounds like another busy...

Cooler but sunny today. DH did his bird survey this am. I finished what will be part 2 of the book last night. I emailed it to a friend who reviews my writing and DH will read it later. Now I've got part 1 started and hope it will be easier. I am starting with his grandmother coming to America...

Sunny and 62 - this can't be late November! But it's nice. DH is out clearing up more leaves as maybe most are down now and city may have another pickup soon. I'm still plugging away at the family history. It just is taking so long! For Cyber Monday ordered 4 DNA kits that we hope will go to...

It's mostly sunny and 50 here, so no complaints. Have lots to do so just waving to all. :hello:

Beautiful sunny day but more football on TV. I want to make a quick run to the library for two books on German history to help with background info. Should do :washing: but trying not to think about it. Chris, how amazing all that raking. Hope you manage today after all that effort. The F-W...

Yikes, another day of football. Right now it's Ohio State and DH not happy with how they're playing. Hope they get it together as may be happening. Going to use leftovers for dinners tonight and tomorrow, so will have that to do. Mostly need to be working on family history book. I realize I have...

And before another week has finished, here is week 46. How can the year be so close to over?

This was a pretty lively end to the week that still doesn't totally know it's the middle of November. Credits: all from ArtPlay Palette Evanescent by Anna Aspnes fonts: Wolf in the City, Erie, 18th Century Kurrent Text, Corbel

I assembled this more than a week ago, but it wasn't until I finished week 46 that I got myself motivated to do the journaling and finish this one. Don't know why!

The sun is shining and that makes me happy. I too slept late, but that is normal. Last night I finally did it and did week 46 then finished week 45. Will post them soon. I did some work on the family history and found something interesting in material collected a while back. I'm pretty exciting...

Happy Thanksgiving, or good Thursday to all. We're having the predicted quiet day today. I'll work on the family history project sitting with DH watching football with some time out for cooking, but it should be fairly easy. Chris, hope you're having a good time at BIL's and don't close down...
