I stopped spending money a long time ago; there are too many freebies available, especially in the blog trains. I've stopped myself from downloading anything new (well, I've slowed down anyway). I have literally thousands of zip files I have yet to open and organize. To organize my supplies I have different folders in a main folder I call Creations. It includes folders for Backgrounds, Textures and Overlays, Clip Art, Templates, etc. I make sure the names of the files include the source and include a preview pic (if there is one) in the folders. If I find something I want to use, I can do a search in Creations for all the items included in that kit. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else but it works for me.

Thanks so much, @Julie Magerka. It is certainly a MEGA bundle.

Children do what they see. If their parents use their devices, their kids will want to also.

OMG, the colors!

I used to go every year to look at the windows and the tree in Rockefeller Center. Then we would get something to eat. NYC at Christmas time is incredible. Oh, and once you're old and retired, you can be a hermit like me! 😄

I wish I had my pics out of my storage unit. I have a really cute one of my daughter finger-painting when she was about three years old.

I don't get there anymore; I'm pretty much a hermit now. But years ago my mom lived in Manhattan and we used to take my young daughter there, especially to the zoo. And when I was a teenager in Brooklyn, I used to sneak into the City with my friends to the Schaefer Music Festival in Central Park. If we didn't have tickets (~$2), we would just hang out and listen.

I do the same thing.

I wanted an autumn feel and few places are as beautiful as Central Park, NY during this season. These are stock photos that I wish I'd taken. Cass's polaroid script came in handy, even if I did edit them a little. The elements and backgrounds are from a bunch of different sources including PS blog trains, CF, and Boo Land Designs. Again, the Change to Target brush was a lifesaver. The font is AutumnEmbrace for both the title and the little leaves.

H = Hiking

V = Valet

Been there, done that. More than once, I think.

Q = Quaint (cottages, towns, bed & breakfasts, etc)

Tyson is gorgeous!

Creative idea to display your pics in different shapes.

Nice warping!

We always did that when I was a kid. It's difficult for me to toss out old shirts now. 😄

F = French Quarter in New Orleans

Recycle, recycle, recycle! And make sure you clean out your cans and plastics before putting them in the bins. Purchase refills instead of brand-new products. For instance, if you use liquid hand soap, don't buy a new dispenser every time you run out of soap. You can do the same thing with many common products.

I love gnomes. I have them for every season or holiday. 🙂

I'm a day late, but I'm here. I used one of Cassel's edge punches on a straight line, then ran the Mitered Corner script for both frames. The original tries were done manually, but I'm hard on myself and couldn't get them to line up perfectly. I couldn't resist adding a little gnome. I found the pic on Google.

Fantastic!

I thought of doing that, but I was too tired to do anything more. lol 😴
