Cristina: Please send my get well wishes and love to Annie! Thanks

S = Social distancing: keep 6 feet of space away from others for safety.

We still need R - S - T, which come between the Q and the U

N = N95 Masks (highly recommended but harder to find than KN95s)

Here's my second entry for the January Alphabet Album. This is Letter B. My focus will be on my rather large book collection for the entire album. In Letter A and now B all the titles start with the appropriate letter for the page. I may change to authors on another entry. Again, the B monogram is the free font CAT Altgotisch. This time I used Carole's script Scattered Photos to arrange the book covers. Also used both bookshelves from Carole at the bottom. I found the Dr. Seuss quote and remembered to lock the transparancy when I painted some of the letters brown.

Pirkko: Nice design. Also pleased to find someone else who finds the rollator useful. ;-)

Here's the updated information on masks - specifically the most effective protection - N95 and KN95. I have a somewhat silly Emergency Hospital kit that I used last year but it did have some useful components.

K = KN95 Face Mask - the gold standard for protecting yourself and your loved ones.

I = Infectious disease

Mary, I moved into a smaller home in Oct of 2018 and at that time I, also, had to wean out my book collection, though it wasn't as extensive as yours. I think I took 4 or 5 boxes of book to my local library where they put them on sale in their used bookstore. Meanwhile, I had been avoiding buying any physical books and concentrated on my Kindle collection. Which is how I ended up with 745 Kindle books. At least they don't take up any space.

 

Here is an update to my first Alphabet layout because I discovered I had missed a set of 5 books from George R.R. Martin, who is very important to me. You might have heard of his A Game of Thrones book which was made into a series on HBO. It is only the first in a series titled A Song of Ice and Fire, now 5 volumes and promised to be 7 all told, but we, his fans, are getting very impatient since the last book came out over 10 years ago! I also changed to a gradient on the monogram.

 

Edit: I moved the pile of books down to the bottom.

 

Edit: Hopefully my final edit. This assignment is making me a bit batty! LOL

It took me this long to decide on an overall topic for my alphabet, but I finally came up with my book collection. Luckily, they are all on Amazon Kindle, so I have images for everything. Also, I don't have to have all the bookshelves that almost 800 volumes would require. ;-) So here is my Letter A, as Elmo would say.

 

Edit: I added a narrow border since my background blended too well with the page. Also, I forgot to mention, the monogram letter A is a font called CAT Altgotisch that I got for free from a site called 1001 Fonts.

 

Edit 2: Added a shadow to Elmo.

D = Drive thru testing

I did mine as a gallery of my work in 2021. The background photo is of me back in 1996 or so, treated to an opacity of 40 and a hard light effect.

Z = ZOE Covid Study.

X = X-rays to detect pneumonia, an indication of Covid-19 in the lungs.

S = Severe illness (possible)

O = Over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol)

L = Lockdown

J = Jobs lost

G = Get vaccinated!

Reading today's Campus Update, I remembered that I had documented the hoarding that took over our communities early in the pandemic. I used a little humor which I recalled seeing the layout entitled "Snot Funny" on the Update. Mine was "Eve on Guard" for our toilet paper stash.

yes! it worked here, also. Thanks, Carole!
