Oh, wow! Just blown away to get such a wonderful surprise and terrific prize!!! :dancing6: Thank you to EVERYone who made this all happen. :lovey3: And congratulations to all the other winners. We sure had a good time and now even more.

Sure does help to start with artsy paper. Fun to do but frustrated with a small decision.

I can go either way in my decision, but I just don't know which I'll choose. Hoping 2025 won't be too hard to deal with otherwise.

Made me happy to use another one of my many New Mexico photos!

I have lots of photos from New Mexico and did a small book of them scrapped, but this one that I took didn't make the cut and I think it is really special. Nice that we remember the morning for being a little different.

I'm making up for not having this photo when I wanted it. Today we have fresh snow and lots of juncos. Mostly they are only here in the winter and most apparent at our feeder when there's snow but hopefully all winter.

I did the Dec. 3 ATC challenge on winter birds and wanted one of a junco in the snow. But after searching a number of years of photos without finding one, I gave up. Days later I took a NEW photo of one in the snow. Just had to do my snow bird ATC with it.

This is my first LO of 2024 from Jan. 6.

Oh, wow, Ona. :lovey3: Thanks for all the kind words about my LO. Your take on it is so wonderful.

Happy New Year, everyone! :cheer: Laurie @LaurieW I remember you from back in the day. Hope the 4 grands are a joy and happy to see you here. Susie & Cheryl @pachimac @Cherylndesigns loving the photos of you two! Chris @faerywings good luck to you guys on Tindamax!! Eva @tanteva 2025 must be...

These are photos I took at the sing-along that didn't make it into the 2-page LO I did for the group. This way DH has his own page for it, one I can post online.

Merry Christmas to all or Happy Hanukkah tonight. :xmas9: Chris @faerywings so glad you are enjoying birds when you can see them. Wish you had someone to help you with that. So sorry the meds are doing a number on you, but guess it needs doing. Sorry about your dad's health, really hoping he...

:xmas2 to all. I'm much better with pictures than words.

Thanks, Susie! Looked over my AJ pages and they do seem to have changed, and maybe I don't really like them so much now. Never fear, I'll keep at it.

:xmas2

I have never figured out what AJ is, but I keep posting my versions of it. If you look at those from this year, you'll see birds and the outdoors figure prominently in what moves me, so that's what this one is about.

Art Journaling topics somehow often come back to birds or the outdoors in my life, so here is my tribute to that.

Oh, Jeannette, thank you so much for your comments and this Standing O! What a wonderful surprise. :lovey3:

I've been thinking of images similar to this and the quote brought it all out.
