Thank you, I appreciate it. They are blessed with a phenomenal mom and it is because of her that we get to see them and a great step dad whose lives have been made miserable too, but they keep the kids grounded and involved in good activities so God is good.

Thank you and sending cyber hugs in return. I get it, nacississtic to the absolute MAX and I don't understand it.........

Forest bathing, Lady Godiva? My head is filled with questions. You ROCK! WOMAN! I hear Helen Reddy singing! Without going into a ton of detail I survived and continue to survive the death of my son who continues to walk this earth, but the boy and man I raised no longer exists. He's a cruel...

The color pallette inspired paper choices, the flowers inspired paper choices as well as embellishments, the brown dog was for Lauren's darling brown bunny, and the cat because they are fluffy and soft and I'm as allergic to them as bunnies.

1.What do you mean they took Aaron to the hospital last night? I know you’re his cousin Graham, but have you done this before? 2.Do they always take this long? Didn’t he see I sat perfectly the way you taught me? What about your nails? They complement my fur perfectly! What’s taking so long...

I'm totally hooked, I'm on season 16 LOL. I have them going while scrapping and it's fun seeing actors from other British shows like Call the Midwives show up or a really young Orlando Bloom in an early one. Always more than one murder and while gruesome sometimes, they spare the gruesome...

Well, I just had an immediate flashback to growing up watching Lassie, when I saw that amazing photo. For my frame of reference the framing is absolute perfection just like it is for this lovely layout. Love how the papers pull the brown from "Lassie's" fur and the flowers bring the bright pops...

That is a darling photo and I love how they look like flowers in that gorgeous bouquet. The flourishes and then the blending fading into the polka dots of the background feels like the flower petals drifting away on the breeze.

This is absolutely jawdroppingly spectacular the way it just grabbed me and yanked me right in from the gallery. Overwhelmingly eyecatching in it's simplicity. Gorgeous. Congratulations! Your layout will be featured in the next Friday's Cheery O Favorites blog post.

I just love the overall delicate feel of this with the cross stitching and the random, yet somehow precise feel of the block placement and the tiptoeing quality of the paints across the background. I think the quote is a perfect description of cats, I am just extremely allegic to them so avoid...

This is so elegantly done, suits that beautiful photo perfectly! I LOVE the photo treatment, that dreamy, misty effect around the edges gives it the goosebumpy feel it must be like seeing it in person. I've seen it at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the States and it feels ethereal like this.

Your flowers are gorgeous, Anke. I love how cohesive your vining clustering makes everything and the way you've not only blended that back photo into the background, but also incorporated the bulk of the trellis or railing, by pushing out the lower paper. Really beautifully done.

Your photos are amazing and that extraction looks so natural, like he just stepped into this beautiful layout. I just downloaded these templates yesterday and your layout has me very excited to get them unzipped and use them.

Another sweet photo and perfect pairing with a kit. I love the double use of the photo so we can see it with the daisies in the background but also the darling subject up close. Love the bordering on the left side and again with the drool worthy clustering.

That is a darling photo and which came first, the sweater or the paper in the lower quarter of the top border? It's a totally brilliant match up. Your clustering is absolutely phenomenal, gorgeous layout.
