    Your two-page layout looks fabulous and you must have a great printer that prints over your painted pieces! Mine gives me fits just trying to print cardstock! LOL Great photos, TFS,

    The future does indeed come a day at a time, Valerie, but the days get shorter with each passing year. There was a time I am sure that I thought I would never reach double digits, now I wonder about three! I hope not! On the weekend we will be going to visit my daughter in Ottawa, leaving here dark and early Friday morning. She works for the Ottawa School Board, so she now has the summer off and will have the time and energy to pamper her father in an entirely appropriate manner. She is a great cook, and quite creative, so we have some excellent meals to look forward to, of that I have no doubt. It will be fun! Hugs and kisses - David

      Oh yes, the days get shorter all the time! I am sure you will be happy to visit your daughter, especially if she has lots of free time, and can cook so well. Don't eat for a few days so you are really famished when you arrive! Hugs, Valerie xxxxx

    Nice spread, Valerie, love how she is gesturing with her arm to the quote on the facing page. Hope this week is a bit cooler for you, maybe hope for some rain. I know we could use some. The Gulf of Mexico waters are so hot that we aren't getting cooled off at night like usual so it's making it even hotter here. Thankfully it's partly cloudy today. And then up North they are flooding. Ugh! xxo

    I love that eye in the background. You can certainly do mixed media well. That double spread is gorgeous. Love the colours!
    Great funnies and thinkies - love the tatts on the elderly ladies. You have a point there - not me.
    You have some beautiful photos and I especially like the rust ones - most of all the flower head.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    I hope you see this comment, Valerie. I like that spread you created for Alison's theme at AJJ. I LIKE that font you used.

    And of course, you KNOW how much I LOVE rust. That rusty fence with the finial is out of this world. I love it. Those nursing home 2050 women are scary and spooky ugly.
