template tuesday at ScrapMatters
I am trying to participate more over at ScrapMatters. They have enough challenges to keep you busy scrapping every day, if you have time to do that! Tuesday is template day, and today Jami gave us this fabulous template. I used one of Jeanine DeOre’s latest mini kits, A Little Retro, which was part of [...]
Happy Mothers Day week!
So many people are sharing photos of their mothers on Facebook. I love seeing the old photos. Here’s one from the mid-7o’s. From left to right you see my sister, me, my grandma, my great-grandma, and my mom. I think this was a Mothers Day luncheon. My great grandmother lived until 4 months before her [...]
Project 365 Day 112
I’ve never given up on my Project 365, but I am renewing my commitment to it tonight. Recently it occurred to me that my true Project 365 is that I think about photography every single day. Unfortunately, I’ve been more critical of my photos in recent months and so I don’t post one every day. [...]
Project 365 Days 11 and 12
Oops! Funny. I was home all day yesterday and even online a lot. One thing I spent quite some time with is a course on adjustment layers and layer masks. It was written by Damien Symonds, a Photoshop expert who does amazing things with photos like this. He offered the course on Clickinmoms. So I [...]

Fun and Feasting Had By All
I thoroughly enjoyed staying home with my family this year. The gloomy rain had no effect on us. We stayed in our comfy clothes all day. I did not have a deadline for meal preparation. We ate and played and cleaned up when we wanted. It was stress free. Lots more photos at Smugmug, [...]
Thankful Tree completed
I almost forgot to post a picture of how our Thankful Tree looked on Thanksgiving. Robert added some leaves before dinner, and the girls added some more. Earlier, Rhiannon helped Ian write on a leaf too. At the beginning of our feast we still [...]
Thankful Tree
A tree is growing in our dining room. It appears to be deciduous, but unlike most of the trees outside, instead of losing colorful leaves, our tree is gaining colorful leaves. You may also notice that while the leaves on trees outside generally assume similar shapes depending on the tree where they grow, our tree [...]
Friday Fill In
1. The last band I saw live was my husband on guitar, my son on drums, and my daughter singing (while the other daughter danced). 2. What I look forward to most on Thanksgiving is a plate stuffed with turkey, potatoes, gravy, cranberries, stuffing, and veggies, repeated for a few days until the leftovers run [...]
