"I take it"  Children.    NEW WORD   --  Pets.  (dogs, cats, fish, mice -------)

I wasn't sure where to put the new word so it is above the pic.  I also forgot to say the background pic was created from a screenshot from "Osprey Nest - Charlo Montana"  The children was from a pic downloaded from C F "2WtkBZf2xnOpBFh15xKUDtjNaL0-medium"

Yes, I understood it was free too, but it is listed as a paying script. Unfortunately our exchange rate is very cruel so I am going for the the long way too. Its good practice.  

I did not purchase it either, mostly because I don't think I would use it much except for in these challenges, so I am glad Cassel reminded us how to do it the long way.

I just wanted to say Thanks to Cassel for this great workshop. I have learned so much.  I never ceases to amaze me seeing all the wonderfully creative and different takes everyone has posted from the same few templates. Well done everyone.  I will be sure to keep checking in for a few days too.

Here is my take on day 7. I kept hem hawing about what to do for this one.  I got lucky and got the picks in my yard this morning.  The squirrels were really active today. Yesterday we had freezing rain from about 3AM  to noon.  I did not go anywhere.

Here is my day 6.

Day 5  Moon photos are mine. Font is Castellar. I have lost track of where the background and other stuff are from. I didn't make notes while working on it.

Day 4 Magnolia tree from two years ago. Last year a hard frost came a just the wrong time after the tree had bloomed out.  Bummer. The text is am-intex or at least that is what it is called on my PC,  the background is "cpjess-springskies-paper-blueskies folder" at least that is how I have it labeled.

Thanks for sharing this.  I would say there has been a lot of improvement over the years, and it just keeps getting better. 

My day 3

Was there a video lesson to go with lesson #2? When I signed in there is nothing only the downloads.

Yes there is, I wondered the same thing until I looked a little closer.  The vid is at the top. At first it looks like just a picture of her first project, but the little play arrow is hard to see because it is sort of hiding in the "P" at the end of the last word, but it is the vid for day two.

I have had a go at this first one but is taking me longer than it should as I am suffering with an inner ear condition making me a bit/very wobbly headed. Anyway, I will be going at a snails pace and dependant on weather me head feels it is screwed on alright shallbe posting my efforts. Hope everyone is doing ok.

I hope your ear problems get better soon.  I really like the way you made the dots colorful.

For the moment at least, I have gotten the hang of making masks.  Next time I try may be a completely different story, but at least I can always go back to the saved written instructions again.

We had a pretty snow a week or so ago and I took the pictures of the berries then.  Yesterday we had below 0 f temps and the frost was from one of my windows. BRRR!

X = Xrays for when you hurt yourself (falling off your bike, down the mountain, drop a weight on your foot, or just falling over from  exhaustion)

I remember in grade school learning the recorder and the ukulele.  We had to tune the ukulele by reciting "my dog has fleas".  I have no idea why.  I am not at all musical and cant even hum a tune.  everything turns into the tune of "Happy Birthday to You".  I cant remember words or names of songs, even ones I've heard hundreds of times.  But I do love music.   

LOL.  That sounds like me.  I remember as a kid my Dad said everything I tried to sing came out sounding like Jingle Bells. I still remember that over 60 years later. He was probably right.  I am so bad when I try to sing along to a song I like,  it sounds so bad I have to tell myself to shut up and enjoy the music.  That was a wonderful tribute Ann made to her Mother.

R = Running a marathon. (or for some of us older folks walking fast for several blocks)

L = Long naps.  We will need to rest after getting all that exercise that is recommended.

I started this a couple of days ago and just finished it.  I don't think I did any of the things on my 2023 list except "take the stairs" and that is because the elevator  at work has been broke for months. LOL  Happy New Year all.

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.

S = Stocking full of goodies from the mantel  (if you have one),

I love that Merry Christmas in many languages. One of the first things I have done all month is making sure I clicked on that day's entry so I didn't get busy and forget it.  I just wanted to thank Cassel for doing this. I looked forward to each day's surprise.

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