I am blessed, Corrie! I struggled as a teen to make friends...now I have many.

Thank you, Susan!

Very creative work, Everyone!

Thank you, Suzy! 2 of our number are really good at selfies. I'm lucky if I can get 2 people in the photo. It is a fun group...so much laughter, fun and love.

Thank you, Ann!

I couldn't wait to try Carole's photo circle template! I even made the plaid...turned down the opacity.

Truth or Dare...she held that big smile for the entire 2 minutes. The next day her cheeks were sore. Template 194 by Lady 22.

Another layout from our pickleball clinic trip. I created the background paper during the mask workshop. Wordart from Creative Fabrica (paid).

And here is my Brother From Another Mother:

My story is similar to Corrie's. However, I was first born and, like Corrie, had a sister who did not survive birth. I do not remember the event at all. My parents did tell me about it but with no details...you now know what I know. My Mother was told by the doctor not to try to have another child...therefore, in a sense, I am an only. This layout will tell you about my Sister From Another Mister:

Birthdays should be celebrated all month!

A brush workshop would be great! Could you include Suz Shook's script for making custom brushes from pngs and for custom brushes from dingbat fonts? The mask workshop has been a blast! Thank you, Carole!

Happy birthday, Ann! Wishing you all the best. Hope your day has been filled with family, friends, fun...and some ice cream!

This photo was taken on the golf course after the clinic. Two of our number remained in Florida for a couple more days to visit friends and play golf.
