I am using the tag from Anna's ArtPlayPalette Wild Autumn on my neverednding (!!!) 2012 River Cruise pages. I have used the .png and then added a text layer above it to change the day # for each day on the trip. All is fine, unless I move the linked png, the text layer & the brass brad and/or...

Morning Peeps! Are any of you insomniacs up now? I hope not. It's 8amish in Italy and today we are taking a bus down the coast. Our time in Genoa was a bit shorter than we'd have liked but the air fares were different if we had stayed longer. I am really really liking Genoa, the size despite...

Morning peeps Our last full day at Lake Orta, and we leave for the convoluted trip to Genoa tomorrow. i.e return the car to Malpensa airport, take the train INTO Milan where we get a train to Genoa. If you check a map, you'll see we are going east to get west. But dh likes trains so...

Hi all... Well it's morning in Milano, so you will have an early wake up call from me. It has been a good trip so far with a day spent wandering Milan, and catching up on our sleep. Today we rent our car and head north to Lake Orta. I had a text from my daughter's social worker saying that the...

Just starting this cause I'm off to the beach for the weekend. Sunblock packed! hugs to all!

Best of all, baby bear is asleep after eating two tlb of tomato soup - her choice of meal, albeit a reluctant choice. Papa bear has taken himself to bed also and I am going to sleep downstairs tonight just to be sure she doesn't fall during the night. Actually she is getting her sea legs a...

This is an update written by my xh's wife Amy. One blessing that has come out of all this is finally after 25 years post our divorce, having some kind of relationship with them. It's also one where we are all looking at the same picture and working amongst ourselves to find workable options...

Thank you thank you everyone. I'm sure many of you know how good these messages make me feel because you've been the recipient of the same kind. The news is not good. But I do believe in miracles and I only pray to accept what is in God's plan not mine. This is what I put on FB, which...

Not the news I ever imagined hearing but... I had a call this afternoon from the couple who are raising my daughter's child to say my 38 y.o. daughter was in the hospital on our Eastern Shore with a brain infection. She has been prone to sinus infections for a long time and this dr finally...

In going back over the prior tutorials Ona is listing for this month's blending one, I see you had another blending tutorial here. The blog is only by invitation only and I gather NinaScraps is retired. I'm wondering if you can still post your version here??? :noidea: I can use all the blending...

Chris, I found this recipe for a Parmesan Rosemary Shortbread Rounds. I don't really want a cracker but plan to try it. Does this seem like what you made? :hungry: Savory Parmesan-Rosemary Shortbread Rounds Adapted from Bon Appetit 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons...

My dh Dick had his post stent stress test today and passed! The dr said no 2nd stent for him, just continue on the cholesterol and bp medication he had already been taking. Add aerobic exercise 3 times a week and pretty much stick to the South Beach diet. Desserts on occasion and in moderation...

That's the more or less bad news. However, the cardiologist said the one blocked artery is not terribly urgent but he advises not going. He will schedule Dick for surgery probably next week. The one interesting part is that the cardiologist is having thoughts about his doing the operation. He...

My dh, who has had a couple of episodes of shortness of breath, finally saw the cardiologist today. He is thinking it 'might' be angina, and Dick has a battery of tests Monday. We know the Dr. and if he really felt it was life threatening as in today, Dick would be in the hospital. Phew! We are...

Phylis, you offered your 'ez' baklava recipe to me. Any chance I can have it? I decided to go with a dessert for the potluck I'm going to tomorrow, and the oatmeal bars I baked are ..ok. :ohwell: It was a Penzeys recipe which I find to be ...uh ...kind of dull, but I had all the ingredients...

I have to say I def needed to be where Anna and her supplies are. I'm new to this forum though I certainly have many products from the O' in my stash. I'm a pretty basic scrapper, never having been a paper scrapper, but kind of fell into digital when I knew I wanted to do something arty with...
