2026....i would want the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change those I can and the wisdom to know the difference. People can only take my happiness if I allow them to do so. Sometimes people we know and love cease to exist as the people we knew and even though...

what a FABulous take on today's challenge by @sandra-9663

OMG, Sandra! I absolutely LOVE your take on the challenge! Love the lights on the covered bridge and your attention to detail. The elf standing on the railing is making me nervous, I live in Minnesota an know about slippery conditions. Santa slip to a stop at kind of a bad angle, I don't know if...

LOVE what @BoatLady did with her orchid, I need to go water mine.

OMG, that is SUCH a cute photo and I love the wreath around the photo. That background is terrific, all of the colors and patterns just give it such a happy feel like wrapping papers layed out ready to be used and that bottom layer with the stitching is the perfect base. Just adorable!

My scrapping is a creative outlet for me at least the mess stays in my head & computer and not strewn all over the sewing room. I'm strictly a memory keeper scrapper, deep personal connection to every picture I'm rescuing from the dark abyss of my various hard drives. It took me 8 non-productive...

OMG,:sick: we had oyster stew or I actually had hot oyster flavored milk with a little butter in it and some oyster crackers. I would pick out the oysters and give them to my brother, he loved them, everybody loved them except me. I don't know how old I was when I realized you could get so...

Oh yum, Veronika, even though I'm not sure what all of it is it sounds WAAYYY better than what we had on Christmas Eve. That's wonderful to see that you are keeping some of the traditions going. The current menu sounds wonderful too.

This is beautiful, I love the 3 Wise Men silhouetted against that snowy background. This is beautiful, I love the 3 Wise Men silhouetted against that snowy background. Love the gold highlights and the beautiful gold word art.

That is a beautiful poinsettia and that is a very cool mask effect. Hard to imagine them growing outside considering it's only 1 degree F here. Love that top border and the fun elements dangling from it.

Das Foto ist ja zuckersüß! Die haben sich so viel Zeit gelassen, dass einer der Welpen eingeschlafen ist. LOL. Mir gefällt der rustikale Hintergrund total gut, und es muss Minnesota sein. Hier sind es nur -17 Grad Celsius, da wird man blau, wenn man zu lange draußen ist.

What a spectacular water view with the sun glistening off the water and that and you 3 are so cute . Beautiful blending and your border across the top is wonderful and I really like the doily slipped under it.

Sounds like a busy Sunday, Vicky. Such a cute picture of you and Mark. Love that beautiful purple and your pretty clusters.

Well, that makes me your cuz too cuz! Can you imagine our family reunions ? Bah-na-nahs!!

This is my definition of an art doll, if I pushed the boundaries too far with the minions just let me know.

I took a different route with my art dol
