Almost done with 2022 Alphabet Workshop - Y is for Yellowstone.

@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.

Mary it may have taken a lot of time to complete this alphabet together with the Travel Workshop but it has turned out very beautiful!

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?

Beautiful, Monique! I was wondering where your Outlander was. Thought maybe I missed it somehow. It looks terrific! Congrats!

And the cover

As a child with 8 siblings, I don't recall having visits with Santa so it's a special treat to get to share that special occasions with grandchildren. This morning Santa patiently waited for us to bravely get closer to get our picture taken.

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

Michele: I love that all their beards are different! 😉

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.

@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.

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

I have no photos from my childhood of me with Santa. But I do have one when I was in my late 30's. My parents would go to Florida for 5 months so I would go to them for the holidays. Their trailer park had a Christmas party for the residents that wanted to attend. A gentleman in the park played Santa elsewhere so was willing to dress up for this party as well. His wife dressed up as Mrs. Santa. They let the party goers take pictures with Santa. I have a photo of Dad on Mrs. Santa's lap and he is kissing her on her cheek. Then there is a picture of me on Santa's lap hugging him. Same for Mom.
