WEEK 51-DEC 29-YOUNG BALD EAGLE ON ICE photo by Ed Frampton on The Hudson Valley in Pictures (Facebook) website.

Thanks, Suz. ❤️ Yes, there are at least 4 styles of garlands in Picture Tubes and the red Christmas balls are from Cassel.

As I really don't have room to do much Christmas decorating here in my little condo I'm truly enjoying these patchwork Christmas trees from Carole's script. I rolled out more Anna Aspnes supplies using two background overlays this time.

Here is my week 50 - the Hudson River Otter. It looks like I only need one more to finish out 2024. The photog is Ed Meekel from our HV in Pictures Gallery.

I used Carole's script for the patchwork Christmas tree, added some picture tube strings of stars and some gold snowflakes from my winter stash. The wordart is from my Christmas stash. I tucked some packages under the bottom of the tree to create the illusion of a base. After I created the tree I grouped it so I could add a shadow.

Very nice layout, Cristina. Noting the use of white on the photo labels; it is quite effective. That background is one of my favorite colors.

I started with PSP to be able to make graphics for our family business, the Warwick Drive-In Theater. I did a logo, which is on a transparent background, so therefore, a .png which I can't show here but I do have a .jpg version.

DEC. P52-DEC. 15-WEEK 49 - THAT FROSTY TIME OF YEAR 3

Corrie, that is quite beautiful and the photo is very striking!

We are having a family party today to celebrate the engagement of my grandson, Brad and his sweetheart, Livia. I made a little layout for them. I feel I need some instruction in modifying masks. This one from Cassel, is too much on the right side but whatever I did to it made it worse, so I left it alone.

Wow, that is awesome, Jacques! If I was Carole, I'd hire you! 😄

That's the mission of any accredited zoo but I focus on Nashville since my granddaughter was welcomed into their program. I'm learning a lot! They are beauties, I agree!

I don 't know, Corrie. The photo was on the Hudson Valley Gallery

WEEK 48 FOR DEC 8 - FROSTY 2

Having started in NJ and moved to NY I've experienced many heavy snowfalls. One memorable one was a few years ago around Halloween. We were attending a birthday party, and it snowed while we were inside. At that time of year (October) the leaves were still on the trees, so the weight of the snow ended up breaking branches and pulling down wires. Out-of- season snowstorms can be harder to handle.

Wow, Dee, that's spectacular! Great job!!

A = Advent. The month-long lead up to Christmas with surprises every day on a special calendar.

Here is Week 47 - Dated Dec. 1 - That Frosty Time of Year. The font is Showcard Gothic with a stroke.

Here a rather unique celebration we have mornings in December. This layout is from 2021.

Happy December from the Nashville Zoo. It's Sumatran Tiger Time! The new, red logo (upper left) is for Critically Endangered species. Nashville is very active with a breeding program. My granddaughter, Jackie Thorpe, is a zookeeper there.

Me, too!! 😻

I have revamped my Project #7 - here's Finn, again!

We followed the Christian holidays of Easter which fell in March or April and I'm still not sure how it is calculated. As for Christmas, our family always kept the tree up until January 6th as that was my mom's birthday which coincided with Three Kings Day, but my husband and I also encountered the Mexican celebration of Three Kings Day when we started to vacation in Acapulco. Invariably, we would arrive just before the big day and encounter this huge celebration with lots of children running around our tourist hotel. 🎄

You'll make it as long as you don't run out of gorgeous teacups.
