Dear Corrie and Sue … it is wonderful learning about the different countries fauna, flora and history etcetera. Here in Australia we don’t have the history of the UK, Europe, Asia etcetera … but I think the Indigenous People may have something to say about that, 😉 We are learning more and more about them and it is fascinating and ongoing. I suspect there is still so much we don’t know about this planet … dare I say that we probably haven’t even touched the surface! This campus is amazing in that individual contributions are forming a bigger picture … a never ending learning curve my friends and if only all of humanity would indulge in this perhaps we would stop wounding the planet and help her heal. Ok, I’ll get off the pulpit now, lol! Keep enlightening me dear friends, I love it. <3
Dear Sue, I love both your magazine covers, they are amazing! Again your photography shines and I love the fact that you don’t have to add shadows as well … still my bugbear, lol!
Some things are just not meant to be Ann and I’ll bet you wouldn’t trade what you have now for a what could have been. Brisbane is a lovely city … very laid back and I lived there for a few years. City life was not for me however so I ended up back in Bundaberg after doing a stint of outback living. As you can imagine Bundaberg is very laid back and in the suburb of Norville we are allowed to have backyard chooks (of which I have 4 Isa Browns) and I love every minute of it. Excellent egg layers however they are a little hard on the vegie patch so I am working on that particular aspect. I am sure looking forward to further episodes of ‘Ann goes to Botswana’ … it has been a real treat. 😀
Excellent job Gerry. Four games in two weeks, now that has to be some sort of record! Definitely for the love of the game. Enjoyed perusing my friend, thank you. 😀
Still loving your trip to Botswana Ann and I’ll bet that The Melva Elegant Guest House is tres comfortable! Terrific photos my friend and you put a grin on my face with your comment about no bears or tigers … it is amazing how many people really do think that they exist in the wilds of Africa! Great job Ann, love it my friend. 😀
Job well dear Corrie. You sourced those photos well and the merge together beautifully in this dougle page. Loved perusing my friend. 😀
Still loving your trip to Botswana Ann. Cool stamps you generated my friend and I love the duality of wild versus city, well done Hon. ;D
Corrie nicely done. I have never heard of Kopplepoort and it is indeed interesting. History is certainly fascinating, thank you dear friend for adding a little more knowledge to my history repertoire and for the delight of perusing your page. ;D
Day 4 Travel Icons. Koala for Brisbane, Tasmanian Devil for Hobart, and Kiwi for Auckland. “Photos” courtesy of Australian and National Geographic. The Grungy Alpha is from PixelMarket. I hope everyone is enjoying their travels cos I sure am. Thanks for takin a peek my friends. ;D
Thanks Cassel! Once I created the paper I decided to keep a template in case I wanted to use it again … as you do, 🙂
Your work is coming along nicely dear Cristina. I must warn you about the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency books … they are addictive! Alexander has written 22 in sequence and I have read all bar the last on my kindle … I have pre-ordered it and expect the download to occur in September. Such innocent and amazing books for this day and age, I love them to bits. Ann’s fantasy trip to Botswana is bringing up all sorts of wonderful memories relating to the books. I do hope you enjoy my friend. 😀
You are worthy of the praise dear Sue and I am happy to give it. We nature lovers must stick together and we are fortunate in this campus that most members are true lovers of nature. 😀
It all looks really lovely Gerry. Your dad was obviously a good planner. My dad had one destination which was about one and a half hours away and we went there once a year for 4 weeks … not very adventurous my dad, lol! ;D
Ann, I am loving your trip to Botswana and that guest house is something else. As I was typing this I had the thought that it would be lovely for you to do the actual trip one day … I wish that for you my friend. ;D
My daughter is a Victoria era addict so I am guessing you would get along well with her Michele. I hope your back improves soon cos I know exactly what it is like to suffer from that malady. I had an injection into my spine about 4 weeks ago but it really didn’t make much difference. I think I would like a refund on this body and start again! As always, love your work my friend. ;D
Ann … I just love your quirky sense of humour! ;DA delightful page as well Sue. Fuchsias are such pretty flowers and your camera skills do them proud. Well done dear friend. 😉
Karon you are motoring along with the Lab lessons … about to start L7M1! Love your work my friend … a joy to peruse. ;D
Nature is beautiful and you always showcase it perfectly Sue. This page is simple and therefore gorgeous … the photo becomes the drawcard. I always love your work my dear friend and I agree with you regards the vine twined around the frame … lends that special touch! ;D
Sure sounds like you had a lovely time Laurie and your page shows it, well done my friend. 😉
Day 4 – Dates of Travel. Thanks for takin a peek my friends. ;D
I am loving your fantasy holiday Ann and you have put this page together amazingly. Gabarone watch out … Ann is on her way! ;D
Very nice Gerry … the family camaraderie is very obvious … the good old days, well done! ;D
Good one Anne … one trip from Illinois to Hawaii and another from Illinois to Anchorage … did I get that right? ;D
Thanks Ann, greatly appreciated my friend. For the background paper I did a google search for ‘oil paint brush strokes background’. I found a few that I liked. I resized the chosen one to 3600×3600 not bothering with the lock aspect ratio as it was only going to be an overlay. I used a sage green for the background and then put the overlay over that, blend mode to burn at 100% opacity as I wanted the green to really stand out. Very thrilled you liked it Ann as I recognized it would not be everyone’s cup of tea! ;D
