I like it. It must take such patience. I love the idea of a kitty on the bottom shelf. How about a small box of gardening tools, watering can, trowel, pruning shears, etc...or supplies used to create the green room? Looking forward to hearing and seeing more.

C = caring

A = Agnes, my Mom

You can leave it at 1200 pixels for the width and then go to File | Export | JPG Optimizer and it will cut the size of the file down quite a bit.

Thank you, Lesley! I'll try that!

Bonnie - beautiful group of layouts for your basketball team.  Well done!  Way to go!

Thank you, Mary!

Lesson 4...leaving Lesson 3 to be completed. I used the scattered photo script...saved a lot of time! All of these photos are from various National Senior Games.

The story of our founder.

The Mount Vernon Inn is at George Washington's home. Our Christmas luncheon was great fun!

I resized this to 1200 pixels and it was still too big...so here it is at 1000 pixels.

I'm not finished but here is what I have created so far. I decided to use my basketball group as my theme. It has been harder than anticipated as good photos are hard to find. NOVA United celebrates its 20th anniversary this September. This page features some play and places we have played and other projects we participated in. Does not come close to represent everything.

I decided to use the open book script...just because.

Y = yellow...eggs, flowers, etc.

The open book script is fun...here is one page I did with it. 

V = vigil

S = sunrise service

Carole, when I d/led the written handout, I got the message that I had downloaded 0 files and I was allowed 10 in 6 days. Should this have happened?

R = rabbit

P = painted eggs

N = nest

I don't enjoy clusters and rarely, if ever, use them. I had to turn to pickleball to get started. I didn't add shadows...should I have. If anyone else used shadows, they would want to add their own. 

K = Kingdom of Heaven

G = grateful 

LOL, Sharla, you also answered g!

E = Easter Lily

C = carrot

I went back to 2006 for this photo and memory. These are 4 of 5 of my NOVA United Basketball teammates. We attended Not Too Late Senior Women's Basketball Camp. After camp was over and we were waiting until time to go to the airport, we toured Portland, Maine. Behind us is Portland Head Light. This is one of my favorite pictures. The template is by Carole...cass-watercolor page...thank you, Carole!

A = Ash Wednesday
