Wow, the gentleness of the photo and paper contrast with the strength of the rock, the Scripture of your journaling. Very powerful page. I can tell you had to dig deep, and all of those emotions come through!

Emotionally captivating and powerful, my friend!

Quick personals today! @BoatLady How exciting that your camera is here! Good luck with your planning and prep for camping. You're going to be on the road before you know it! @Cherylndesigns Asher must have a strong focus on he things he enjoys. Such a great kid! LOL-ing at you and the...

Guess what?? In ten hours, I will be showered, in my pjs, and contact lenses out. In 11 hours, I hope to be sipping a cold glass of Pinot Grigio on my sofa, feet up! Today is one of our biggest field trip groups. 130+ fifth graders, which breaks into 6 groups of 20-23 kids each. Plus teachers...

I hope you did everything you needed to do while in PJs all day! I didn't know you taught yoga! Any advice on getting back in the groove after a broken foot? I was doing some chair yoga in the beginning, then got semi-depressed and was pretty haphazard afterward. Now I am at the point where...

May!! How in the world is it May?? I am super excited, but at the same time, I feel very much behind where I should be and how my gardens should look. They are a mess! Utter and absolute mess and I hope I can get them cleaned up enough where I haven't killed everything off. My poor plant...

Don't ever play Poker with him! :D That is sooooo awesome!!!! (My DSLR is 10 mp -- ancient!). Getting it early is a smart idea, have a blast playign around with it. Hey you can't do that, slip in that it was your birthday. We want to make a small fuss if we can! Hope you had a fab day...

Good morning! Wow, I am so happy I don't have to work today. Yesterday was long and after three days in a row, I was dag-gone pooped out. I only worked 4 hours, but it's a lot. I didn't feel like 4 hours, the sessions really fly by. But between the physical part of the job and the mental work--...

Just keep your neck safe, strong, and steady, literally and figuratively! I love how AJ-ing leads your focus a little out of the box. I can't tell you how happy it makes me when the challenges and topics we post help someone IRL. Thank you for sharing that ♥

@taxed4ever I know what you mean about the rain forcing you to slow down a bit. I hope the weather is perfect for your hike tomorrow. Did you survive voting and Costco? Snowmen and hearts do not belong in the same kit. No love for snow from me. :giggle4: OTOH, I will take snowman over buttons...

Ahhh! My brain got up and left my body for (more than) a second just now! I swore that today was the 27th. I *need* it to be the 27th. Not the 29th. I am slightly behind on my end of the month Cheery-O duties and I will not have a free second at all. Yesterday I got home at 5 pm, took a shower...

Gorgeous! I love the colors and the blending! The title work and word art are perfect!! ♥

wow!! The contrasts of the light and dark and the word arts just grabbed my attention to your wonderful and creative page! ♥

I am so sorry that you are going through this with the computer. But the part I bolded has me jumping up and down in my chair. What a fantastic and creative way to get it all out onto the page. The eyes are such a fantastic focal point too! ♥

:jawdrop2: Your LOs this month are so-- *taps chest* -- just hitting me in my heart. As the kids say "all the feels." Love the symbolism of the seedling over the person's face.

Stunning! I love the puzzle piece overlay on the face, so creative!

This is incredible! I love the repeated words which feel like that relentless loop in our minds. The bows seem like they are trying to keep them from leaking out of otu ears. The LO is emotional and relatable!!

Vicky-- didn't you say a few weeks ago you didn't feel very confident with AJ-ing? let me tell you, you are amazing with this style! I love the design and style, the paint and borders are awesome ,and your journaling-- spot on! Congrats on the Standing!

BTW-- my friend across the street texted me that she has seen the hummingbirds at her feeders! Nothing that my feeder/cam has picked up yet, other than the occasional finch sitting on the perch. How is your bleacher butt feeling today? Hope that the games and the weather were all good news...
