  1. We have typical April weather for Europe, rainy, suddenly summery 25°C and then suddenly 0°C (32°F) again in the morning. But today at 11:30 a.m. it is only 3°C ( 37,4°F), so very cool for the end of April! I took these photos last weekend: Spring in our streets

  5. Hi all, only just discovered this discussion. I'm still too much of a beginner for PSP to be able to recommend anything, but I've been scrapbooking long enough to know the drill. I started in 2005 and have heard that it is a separate industry in the USA. And that there are several styles. We in Europe scrapbooked the photorealistic 3D style back then. So we cut out parts from photos and pictures as deco (of course in compliance with copyright law, which is particularly strict in Germany). But fashions also change in the Scraobbook. Now more 2D, comic style or multimedia mix is popular. Lots of good tips have already been given here for a physical book. I have another thought that's bothering me right now. When writing a will today, you also have to include the digital data on your own computers in a will so that heirs can then deregister digital registrations in banks, insurance companies, forums, social media, etc. But what do I do with my external drives full of digitally purchased kits that have cost me a lot of money in total and over the years of purchase. How do I pass this on? The money is too good for me to delete because it could be used by an heir who is interested in it. I also see it as a destruction of artistic works if it were simply deleted. Of course it will also depend on the laws of the country we come from, but have you thought about what will happen to your scrap treasures after your transition? Or maybe you already have experience on how to handle this? What the heirs then do with it is of course their own business, and this also applies to private photos that they cannot do anything with. We don't have any direct heirs, but we have a good connection to other younger relatives. I'll talk to them soon about... this scrap thing. I have a younger sister-in-law who is also very talented in art and works with digital self-expression, she plots and has a digital shop. I'm interested in your answers.
  6. I wish you all the best and God bless you Carole💐🙏✝️🎂🎁🎵 Mobilphone size😉

  9. Yes, that's right Carole, I was careful with publicly borrowed books, but in my own books I have sometimes drawn or written down or underlined something in pencil. Soon I'll make a scrap of one of these book drawings from my youth. That's why I love coloring around in my e-books and PDFs today; you can correct or delete them again.🤩 Illuminations May 1969 Credits: on scrap; Font: Shopie
  10. Hi all, we have a great regional library in our city (we are a university city) where I used to borrow tons of heavy illustrated books and books on art in general and archaeology, Egypt for example, before I went online. There are also smaller libraries in the districts where you can borrow books or even a book bus. There are only bookshops and archivists in the city center. Today I only buy a few e-books via Kindle. They don't need any physical space and don't gather dust. I usually find the topics I read today for free on the Internet as PDF files, which I can also add drawings, markings and notes to.

  13. Did you have these adorable cats at the same time or one after the other, or in groups of 2 Bonnie?
  14. Hi all, Well then I'll start: As a child, cats and dogs followed me. But we couldn't keep pets in my family. So my husband gave me a dog right at the start of our marriage because we had to have a weekend marriage for three months because of his professional training. I was so homesick that he didn't want to leave me alone. After our dog, who had to be put down in 1990 when he was 17, I got a tomcat by "accident"; a previous owner had already called him "Peterli" to whom he had been given, but didn't get along with her existing tomcat. The artist who drew a very nice poster to display for him was a fellow singer from my gospel choir who was sitting next to me. At first I just wanted the beautiful drawing, but I immediately got the cat. He was with us for 13 years and we trained him to use a harness so that we could take him on vacation trips. Then he became very ill, had surgery, it went on for another 2 years, then the cat cancer broke out again and the area could no longer be operated on. We then got the second black and white tomcat from our cat protection association, my husband named him “Cicero”. Unfortunately our sick Peterli didn't like that and ran away. 14 days later I was able to catch him again nearby, emaciated. It was with a heavy heart that we had him euthanized at home in the hot August of 2005. Cicero, who we called "Rambo" because of his impetuous nature, was also used to being on a leash and went on vacation with us (usually on farms in Bavaria, Allgäu or Black Forest). Unfortunately, he only lived to be 2 years old. In 2007, in another hot April, we found him dead on a road embankment near us after a long search. Now my husband no longer wants pets because he finds it difficult to cope with the death of a pet again. I would like to have both again, also because of the exercise. But I don't want to surprise my husband and I respect his attitude

  17. Hello, my dears, I hope I'm making this announcement in the right place. Perhaps the rose-loving German or European members of the campus would be interested in experiencing a parade with a rose queen elected every two years and many themed floats made of rose petals. We already experienced this in 2006, here is my current Alphascrap from the DS forum. I have the link to Steinfurth for you in English, but you can also set it to German at the top right. https://www.bad-nauheim.de/en/discover/festivals-and-events/rose-festival There is also a memorial stele in Bad Nauheim for Elvis Presley, who was stationed there as an US Army soldier in the late 1950s.

  19. Happy 75th birthday, dear Corrie🌷🐞, and I wish you a safe trip✈️, lots of fun 🤩and a healthy return🙌.
  20. Hi Bina, A journalist was lost because of you. Or do you work for a magazine? In any case, I'm pleased that you've invested such a long text in the German language and especially the dialect around Berlin😘. But what do you like about the boring houses and the prefabricated buildings for a private album? But everything is the typical Bina journal style 😁. But I like that you decorate sparingly and the photos get the main attention.👍
  21. Sorry, I couldn't find any English. Flower names with R except rose, so another German flower name with translation 😉 Rittersporn = Larkspur
