I am so glad that your friend was able to support you as you grieve. What a horrible experience she had as well. :brokenheart: I have had good luck harvesting seeds and growing zinnias. That will be a sweet reminder and connection to your friend. *beaming* YAY!!!! Same and I HATE it! Thank...

hellloOOOO!! Cold, cold, cold this morning! I am wearing my base layer long-sleeve shirt, a short-sleeve t-shirt, and my long-sleeve t-shirt for work today. I know I am being silly and stubborn, but I psychologically cannot wear my winter puffer jacket. OTOH, I am charging up my hand warmers...

Linda can give you a better description of Five Smooth Stones, but basically, it is about a Black man growing up in Louisiana (New Orleans area, IIRC) who then becomes deeply involved in the Civil Rights fight of the 1960s. He has experienced numerous changes in his life, including his family...

I am in awe at how perfectly your photo and background match! Lovely colors and textures!

This is an amazing multi-photo page! I love all of the torn papers and stamps!

ooooh, this is spooky, love the chandelier and the vintage wallpaper/background paper. fab job!

How awesome! You are so creative! I bet this looks even better in person ♥

I hope that you don't catch Mark's cold! I swear by garlic pills when I start to feel a cold coming on. Don't push yourself running around if you aren't feeling 100%. That's weird! But now you know what I meant. A very important part of your day, I'm sure LOL :D Is your Grandma's recipe...

:waving1 Hello and good morning, O-zies!! We had a successful and uneventful time at the DMV yesterday. We were in and out in around a half an hour. Gary brought his 6 points of ID and they didn't even look at it, only his license and insurance. Now I have to wait for my insurance company to...

Thank you so much, Amy!! I have been in a scrap-rut so this is even more appreciated!!

@LSlycord I have such a love/hate relationship with tech so I feel your pain with MS and OneDrive. As long as you can connect to the internet and visit us here, everything else will be OK :D :wow2: Time truly has no meaning anymore. Please fill in the blank with whatever you like. It has to...

helloOOOO my lOves! I think I slept really well last night because I don't feel like I am dragging my butt through a vat of maple syrup. It's more like a vat of Shop Rite's Pancake syrup, definitely not as dense. LOL How was everyone's Monday? Mine didn't feel like a Monday at all. I worked on...

I was 100% stuck on this month's theme but your write-up made it incredibly easy-- once I focused on that, it all fell into place :D

I am working at A Wicked Walk event at work this Saturday night. I'm either at the refreshments/campfire area and I'll wear a fleece bat costume. Or if they are short of Scareres in the woods, I am going to be a dead bride. We don't get many kids at our house on Halloween so I don't dress up...

Thank you so much! It took me a few tries to cut the angle on the word strips in the right direction, but I love how it eventually turned out ♥

Ramona the Brave! I haven't thought of her in years, but yes, she's a great pick. I also loved Scarlett's strength and determination, but caveated with her slave ownership. Katniss rules! I read Five Smooth Stones on Linda's rec last year and what a multi-faceted character David Champlain was...

We have our lawnmower man and his victim out on the lawn! Braxton the Skeleton got mechanical wings this year too :)

This is soooo awesome! I love the cat looking in the window-- and the creepy dolls are the perfect touch!

My focus for this week is based on Cheryl's words: "Risk is one of life’s most paradoxical truths. It is defined as exposure to danger, loss, or uncertainty, yet it is also growth, discovery, and love. " My first week's page was about starting the process of taking a risk. This week's is about...
