Thank you, Suzy. I have plans for them.

June 1 - 4 four of us went to the beach for a "girl's weekend". We had a wonderful time playing games, pickleball, walking the beach and eating ice cream. It was drizzley, cold and windy but they weather couldn't stop all the fun. 20 minutes away it was sunny and warm and we had a blast in a pickleball tournament. This layout shows us on the beach.

J = jolly

Two more...

I enjoy the fonts that have graphics within them. Carole used one for one of our challenges...April Font Challenge. I do not know how to create fonts so I decided to created an alpha with pickleball graphics. I used a different graphic for each letter except the graphic used in the N below.

H = hero

D = devoted

Z = zestful, filled with enthusiasm; having high spirits

Thank you, libera!

Girl's Weekend included a pickleball tournament, the beach, ice cream and more! The tournament raised over $31000 for Cystic Fibrosis.

Just playing with this one. This is a favorite photo which I "misplaced". When I found it, I created a layout. Template 167 from Lady 22. Background paper by Marisa Lerin, paper 38, Coastal Papers Painted. Gulls 01 felt by Marisa, Coastal Elements. Teal starfish, White starfish and sanddollar by Sheila Reid, At The Beach Elements. Photo from May, 2010.

77th birthday for our friend, Judy. You may remember I asked about the font some time back. The text and the pickleball girl were on her birthday card, so I just added to my layout of her friends who gathered to celebrate.

X = Xenial Definition: hospitable Synonyms: hospitable, welcoming

V = Valued

T = teaching

R = responsible

I live in Virginia near Washington, DC. We can smell smoke and there is a haze. The sun has been hidden. I think the wind is suppose to shift tomorrow and perhaps blow the smoke somewhere else. Air quality is awful.

Yes, my Dad drove a City Bus. Dad worked 2-11 and I was in school until 3 or so...we were not home or awake a lot at the same time. I would walk to the bus stop (Dad drove the route through our neighborhood so it was a short walk) and ride a trip with Dad...about an hour's ride. Sometime we had ice cream!

From the Alpha Book we did last year.

F = fun

B = blessed...I am blessed to have the Father I had. Miss him every day.

Downloaded folder...it was empty. It was the only folder I was offered access. Love the kit!

Susan, 7Zip is a free program that will open your 7Z file. It is a decompression utility like WinZip and all the others. Love your layout.
