Fiona I'm very happy you opted to choose my Christmas frame that was done for a frame challenge last year and all those frames were a gift in the Christmas Countdown of last year. And believe it or not I just made a greeting out of that frame. You will see it here, I'm going to upload it now, 

Thank you Corrie. Your card is so elegant.

Nicely done Mary.  What a beautiful place.  Such varied landscape.  Have you been there?

Wow, very nice, Mary! I always wanted to visit there myself. And now only one to go for this series; what will Z stand for?

[Mary Solaas]

@Ann Seeber   @Susan Ewart No, the one trip I was on where I could have gone into Yellowstone, it was rain/snow that spring and Laurie was experiencing trouble with the altitude, so we skipped it.  However, my mother had been there and had pictures that I have seen, but I don't know where her photo book that has them is.  I had wanted to include her picture of Old Faithful in this layout, but couldn't find that photo book.  I'm going to do Z is for Zoo and do pictures of the Memphis Zoo.  I understand that one of your granddaughters works in the zoo in California.

@Mary Solaas You're right that one of my granddaughters is a zookeeper but it is here on the East Coast, in Lake Ariel, PA. It is called Claws N Paws Animal Park and is really more of a tourist attraction than a true zoo.

Oh man, what is a better job than this?  At work when we see rabbits or occasional coyote, my co-working and I are always saying how we want to get our face right up in the fur...well, your g'daughter gets to do just this.  Thanks for sharing.  My hubby is most jealous.

Wishing you all a wonderful Dec 25 & those who celebrate it a Joyous Christmas. Most of the alphas are freebies from Cassel.

Once a week a group of women to meet to play pickleball. After pickleball, we share a picnic lunch and play games. This day we played Jenga. One of our towers reached 28 layers and one reached 34! Template= Lab 13-04.

I think this is the last Christmas theme of the year!

The template is from CD, the font is Nomah, presents from a Corel picture tube, and my sequin picture tube. Do you think the sequins were too much? I was going to delete them, but I ran out of time and had to post it to my group with only seconds to spare.

No, perfect as is. I saw this template somewhere and wondered how to use it. You've done it justice.

I decided to share this silly pic.  That elf name etc was actually the first one I got when I clicked on it. I did not alter it at all.  What I want to know is how in the heck did they get a picture of me to use.    AH HA, it must have been from Santa.  The text is Santa-Ugly-Sweater-6018607 The free text on C F today 12/29.

My thoughts this morning: can you make a square circle?  So I started with a vector square, duplicated it (so I could show the transformation), and on the duplicate I used the nodes as symetric and made a circle - in a different fill color so that it could be seen; saved it as a pspimage, then as a png, and then as a jpg so I could show it here.

Reminds me of the people in Houston, TX for Apollo 13 when they had to figure out how to get something square into a round hole!!!
