My friend, Jo, owns this plant and celebrates every year when it blooms. Template 003: @Sas_templates_wintertime Kit by Saskia Veldhoen at Digital Scrapbooking. Font in rectangle: Raccoon; title font: Kristen ITC The text in the rectangle reads: Night-blooming cereus is the common name referring to a large number of flowering ceroid cacti that bloom at night. The flowers are short lived, and some of these species, bloom only once a year, for a single night, though most put out multiple flowers over a period of several weeks, each of which opens for only a single night.

I'm in!

Day 11 Thank you, Carole, for a fun bootcamp! You rock! A cat will always find an empty box and then...fill it...as Poppy is demonstrating in this photo...in January, 2012.

Actually, I took the photo through a window. The contest got a little more heated but they were just practicing.

Day 5, layout 2 A fun filled day with friends. We drove to Front Royal, VA which is to the west and offered a little more Fall color that we have at home. We shopped a flea market, had lunch and ice cream, shopped a thrift store and visited a local park. The park offered some color and photo opportunities. Title font is Script MT Bold. Journaling font is You All Everybody. Squirrel Stamp by DigiDewi, Kit: Autumn Day on Digital Scrapbooking. Leaf in the title block is by Brooke Gazarek in the kit Crisp Fall Air, 19815. The very small leaves in the center were extracted from a scatter by Jessica Dunn, Kit, Orchard Traditions, Leafy Scatters.

Melanie, I love the Indigo Bunting. We rarely see them here in Virginia. Doska, my neighbors have a bald eagle nest on their property. Once, I got to go there and watch. I had always wanted to see an eagle in flight...and I did! Here a younger buck wanted to challange an older, larger, more experience buck. The big guy wanted nothing to do with this little one but finally had to stand his ground. It was no contest. The little one was pushed all around. They never fought for real but it was obvious which one would be victorious.

X = Xenagogue: A guide or leader, which could be used in a Halloween context to lead people through a spooky haunted house. X is getting hard...answers are a stretch...

I knew everyone would have a sandwich. I brought dessert for everyone...and chips.

Work space...dark gray Background...medium Standard tool bars for the Edit workspace. I added the script toolbar. I love the light gray work space...it's what I had in PSP 8. It is very bright on my screen so the dark gray works better. Wonder if there are setting for my monitor to ton down the brightness of the light gray. I got carried away with my sandwich...mine always have a lot of meat and tomatoes, some cheese, no onion. Dessert always if possible. Chips sometime. Never drink coffee.

Thank you, Sue! It is a bright color. Chosen from the pumpkin on the left.

I purchased this template, Blended Clusters 10_03, by MsFish at Gingerscraps today.
