Week 1.
Poncho received an orthopedic dog bed for his Christmas 🌲. He never wanted to lie on anything other than the floor, but this bed was adopted from day one.
At the beginning of last year he had problems with the left biceps tendon (shoulder), and had to undergo surgery for this, he was under anesthesia 4 times. We were very worried because collies are very sensitive to many medications. He has now recovered well, and his coat has grown back nicely, but is not allowed to jump, do stairs, etc

Oh Marie-Claire, how very scary.  I am so happy to hear Poncho is on the mend.  What a stressful time for you, I hope you are doing well too.  I had a pet pass away on the operating table.

Thank you Susan, and so sorry for you! All is well with us now, but it was indeed a stressful few weeks.

I’m in. I’ve created my own template – really simple frame and some text. I’m not having a specific theme other than I’m going to using a photo I’ve taken that week.  On the first of Jan we had a compete rainbow. I wasn’t quick enough getting outside to catch it so I only have one side of it but it makes a nice memory.

Sharla that exactly what this "challenge" is about and I intend to do the same; just a photo of something that stood out this week.

The following week after the snowstorm, we had torrential rains and flooding. (Luckily, not near my home.) This is a shot of the river at the Mid-Hudson Bridge near Poughkeepsie, NY., taken by Deedee Lumb on 1/10/24 and posted on our Hudson Valley in Pictures Gallery on Facebook. She said: "Come sit for a spell, enjoy the river views." 😉

Here is my Week 1.  this  is my favorite house plant.  I've been house-bound this past week and just started taking pictures again.  the sun is shining beautifully today, but it is cold and we are expecting the white stuff beginning tomorrow here in the south (Memphis).

Mary, that is a beautiful plant and I really like the way the sun is bringing out the different colours. It's lovely.

My week 2 is the woods, where I often walk. I took the photo standing on a bridge that crosses the little stream. The trees are without their leaves but there is still green in this winter scene – moss, grass, ivy, weeds…

That is definitely a scene to capture!

I finally finished my Week In Review layouts for 2023. I had one day left over so I did a final layout of just photos from Dec 31 with a title of "Goodbye 2023". I had thought about continuing on with the week on one layout and including the 31st there but changed my mind. I'm going to do a month in review instead and just highlight 5 to 7 photos from the month on a single page layout. I am still taking at least one photo a day so I will still have a few photos to choose from during the months that not a lot is happening.

I am also continuing with my "5 on 5" project. I take at least 5 photos on the 5th of the month then do a layout.

My final weekly layout for 2023 (all weeks had the same format with the cluster and month areas changing depending on what photos I used). I also used the same background papers throughout a month along with the same cluster items. I ended up with 6 different themes so July has the same theme as January. The December pages had the same theme as June. I love the cohesiveness of it!

I love your layout style.  So clean and just so perfect.  This is inspiring.  I am still in the photo process, it has being a busy two weeks with hubby sick and today a day of dawning the hazmat suit ( AKA: rubber gloves) and cleaning and disinfecting everything.  Next week I should be in full on P52 and workshop mode.  Lots of photography gonna be happenin'!

This week is all about my husbands birthday and he insisted I didn't use a photo where he is on! But a photo of the "vlaai" a specific Dutch kind of cake with different toppings will do perfectly. It originated in the province of Zuid-Limburg, but is now widely available and loved. For this week I changed the colors of the frame and text to suit the photo. Now wait and see what week 3 brings....

I think it looks fine. By the way, I want a piece of every topping!

After weeks of gray days and rain, we finally got some sun this week!, but it only lasted 2 days 😔

The same here just on the other side of the border, but it is nice to be able to enjoy it however short it was!

Week Three, and my little Tuxie girl, Eve, is dominating my thoughts. She has had what the vet eye specialist calls a corneal ulcer (or possible Feline Herpes Virus-1) since November. My daughter and I have had to drive her an hour away to the vet hospital in Brewster, NY twice now and another time next week. Keeping my fingers crossed that he will see healing when we go on the 23rd. He says she can see all right.

@Rene Marker This is the first I heard of what you are doing.  Sounds great. Are the rest in the gallery? I don't recall seeing them here in the forum.  I don't go to the gallery much for some reason, just the forums.

No, I haven't posted any of them in the gallery. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the gallery here so I don't use it. Probably why I don't post many layouts. Guess I should also say that I also don't post my layouts to other galleries either. The gallery at TheLilyPad is the only one I post to and that is usually only in January during their Month of Challenges event since you can't win any prizes if you don't!

I had mentioned it before in the thread Suzy had started about P52 in the Diamond section of the forum.
