Love the bright and vibrant colors in your dress and the LO. Super journaling and love the cluster. Great blending on the 2 background papers. Thanks for sharing this with us in the challenge.

Like this double page spread. Great photo of you. Fabulous journaling. Yes, it is sometimes hard to remember back that far in time. Like the faded colors you used - it gives that vintage look to the LO. Thanks for joining in the challenge this month.

What a darling photo of you as a young child. Love the photo placement in the journal and the other elements stacked behind it. Fabulous page design. So happy you shared it with us.

Thinking I might finally be caught up on sleep. Asleep by 9PM but woke up at 4AM and couldn't fall back asleep. So am up before the sun comes up. Will wait until it is up before I open the house up. Need to see how thick the smoke haze is first. Got a call from DD#3 last evening. She was...

Talked to DD#3 yesterday... she is improving but still has a lingering cough. 2 weeks ago, at the PT session, the gal pushed on her foot and caused a lot of pain.... upshot is at this week's session, DD was told to back off of several of the exercises, have her foot elevated and ice the leg at...

I have loose goals - plans for each month. I have a notebook with a page for each month and each forum with all the challenges and other LOs needed at each. Once I create a LO - I put a '+' mark by each LO and/or challenge and change it to a multi-cross when it is uploaded to galleries. I...

Love the story behind the great photo! Great masking. I like that you added the beachy elements since you ended up in Florida. Thanks so much for joining the challenge.

No, no, no, Felis. They will not sell me the replacement plants. They will recommend plants that might be a good fit for the space. As it happens, I know that Wild Elm trees can be very invasive... I just didn't recognize it as a tree - as I was thinking it was a shrub. I went onto the New...

Terry, love the tropical blues used in this LO... definitely perfect for showcasing a honeymoon photo in Hawaii! They are a beautiful couple and look so happy. Thanks for joining the challenge.

WOW... that is fantastic photo... definitely a Heritage one. Like how you used the sepia tone in main background paper. Wonderful use of the template, too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

What a wonderful heritage photo and love the soft blues you used. Glad you found it and scanned it so you will always have it. Thanks for joining the challenge and sharing it with us.

Finally have time to pop in and say "Hi". The lawn estimator was here just after 9... ended up taking almost an hour with him to show him what all I wanted done. He is very knowable about trees/plants. When I showed him the 2 transplanted "shrubs" in the backyard, he told me they are Wild...

Thanks for enlarging the journaling. Beautiful page design and wonderful photo of your mom and her friend. So glad you joined the challenge.

Thanks. It is one of my favorite photos of him.

It is a beautiful day... blue skies, calm winds and only a hint of smoke in the air. Decided to open the house up - it is only 60* outside and 74* inside. Will leave it open for a bit to let it cool down some. There was rain in the Southeast corner of the state yesterday afternoon... but not...

@vickyday and @LSlycord - thanks so much, gals.

So glad to see June has arrived!! Hope it is a better month than May was! Yes, still dealing with smoke from fires and high winds but not quite as bad as they were over the weekend. I was able to open the house up for a couple of hours but the wind is starting up again so closed everything...
