Here's my week 21. It really was easier with written notes.

Both ends of this week were special days and it was almost all wonderful weather. It's still hard to realize that winter is really gone and it's basically summer now. Credits: -background: Happiness Papers 2 by Maya de Groot -transfers, brushes, white frame, button, branch: ArtPlay Palette...

Diane, what stunning pages! And what a wonderful addition of the vintage items. Just, WOW.

Wow, indeed! Beautiful and must have been a wonderful time.

To write about genealogy with the number 5 just seemed to call for this. My "name" converted to the number 5 which required using stitches. Credits: -word art: Travel Wordart by Beszteri remainder by Val C. Designs: -background: New Opportunity -trees: Tree Love -stitches: Magic...

What refreshing colors and beautiful pages! How fun to have toenails join the fun. :bounce: I haven't started to organize mine yet, but this week I kept notes every day.

The texture to your beautiful page is just magnetic.

The individual pages are very handsome and you've put them together so wonderfully. They really work together with that creative framing.

This is so beautiful! I love the creativity with the Cuban flag design.

I keep getting distracted from this goal, but I think it is a wonderful one. It originated in genealogical research, but not of my own family. Credits: all by Val C. Designs -background, stamp, arrow: Carnet de Voyage {Addon} -AJ paper, face, star brush: My Star -journal card, paper...

Nancy, congrats on that great sounding trip and now the 40th anniversary! Where did you visit Lake Erie? We have some of the best spring birding here.

Thanks, Diane! That sounds wonderful and fun.

You all have gorgeous pages for the week. Diane, tell us about that chalkboard again, I've forgotten how you're using it. Looks great.

Morning, all! (Wow, I'm actually here while it's morning.) Our little artist group took down a show at one eatery at 9:00 and are hanging at another at 10:00, so have a little time between. Looks like we'll have a gorgeous holiday weekend with sun and not too hot. Hope everyone gets nice...
