L = Lights and Lanterns

But of course, and smothered with fried onions that you could smell from the booth wafting through the air to make our mouths water!

You sure do have a high level of English language skills! Very impressive when anyone uses dual or more languages fluently.

Oh, the Righteous Brothers! I was such a fan, and still listen to their incredible voices sometimes. Bobby Hatfield's voice! 💔

Looks like we have a dust contest going on!

G = Go-karts

I knew the expert photog would know the answer to that! I think I'll simply get out the dust rag and clean it. Seems easier.

E = Exhibit

Now there's an idea! Thanks Corrie. I'll let it build up again so the writing will show better. 🙂

I wonder...does dust photograph well?

I do volunteer work for the local genealogy office, and I hear stories all the time of someone who just pitched out all the "junk" after a family member died. If only they would tell/ask before they do it! There is usually someone who would LOVE to have the old photos.

Whew! Housekeeping crisis averted. Thanks!

Oh how I wish someone would hand me a big bag of family pix. We have some, but cameras were not as ubiquitous back then.

But if I take pix inside my home, everyone will see all the clutter that accumulates over time! And maybe some dust too...

B = Ball Games (softball)

This is a topic I can get into, when I have some time. The Fall Fair for small villages was a very big deal when I was growing up. It was mostly agricultural in nature (livestock, tractor pulls, all that sort of stuff), but as kids we got right into the spirit and had so much fun. Oh, the ferris wheel and the carousel, and the cotton candy.....

Oh wow! It's great seeing those vintage carousels. Takes me back. I have looked at some of my early layouts and think JEESH, how bad is that? And yes, you have many brads in the layout! 😉

My deepest sympathy to you, Jannette. What a terribly difficult time you are going through. Prayers for you and your family.

I am a bit late to the fanfare for the new year. I made several Christmas cards which took some time. But I rallied and made a simple layout for my fellow Campus-ers. The card is simple but the message is from the heart. Especially I want to send Mary, who is going through recovery, my very best wishes. Cheers to all!

I expected nothing else but gnomes for New Year's! Love it.

Q = Quackers and Cheese?😁 (ok, it's a cheat!)

Is that an extraction of Poncho? Very nicely done, the extraction and the entire layout!

O = Opulent

Congrats on 54 outstanding layouts. What a fun and beautiful collection you have now.

G = Gala
