:hug: Indeed, so sad, Ellen. I know how hard it is, so sorry.

I did put mine together last night, but didn't do the writing until today. Isn't it nice to see real spring (and color) from me at last?

Wonderful! I too love the soft colors and subtle details.

Happy, happy birthday, Trudy! Hope it is a wonderful day. :bday

I adore this page! The colors are so beautiful and she is just a delight. I've lifted this for the April 2013 color challenge!

My DH began playing guitar only in the last few years. He graciously allowed me to photograph his hands while warming up for practice. We especially like this one.

This photograph was preserved by a granddaughter and shared by her children. The map is a detail including Thurgau of the Switzerland page of an 1847 atlas that I have. The stamp (recolored) is one of mine. The stories of immigrants are always inspiring to me. Credits: Oscraps Birthday Collab...

The lady in the photo, a third great grandmother, died in 1884. I think it can't have been a lot before then.

Breathtaking photo beautifully presented!

You've all done such gorgeous pages for this week! Maybe I think this every week, but they just seem to get better and better.

It was serendipitous to have a robin come into the crocuses just when I wanted to photograph them and make a strong statement for spring. Credits: lift of England by evadraga https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=281748&title=england&cat=1351 by Anna Aspnes...
