    Thank you, Sue and Corrie. Those are words of high praise coming from 2 very talented people.

     

    I haven't gotten around to this challenge but I am enjoying the fabulous pages you are posting. Great work, Trish, Pirkko, Ann and Anne.

    The Tennessee photos were taken at  the Gaylord Opryland hotel (resort and convention center). They decorate inside and out for Christmas. Friends and I traveled to Tennessee just to see the decorations. We were not disappointed. We spent hours walking the lobby (huge) and taking photos and then went outdoors to walk around all the outdoor decorations. The lobby has a river running thru it that contains water from all the famous rivers from all parts of the US, and from some rivers from parts of the world. I would loved to have stayed there but it was $300+ per room. It is open to the public so while we did not stay there, we sure did enjoy the gardens. If you get a chance to see it...do.

    Another month with 2 pages. I thought the turkey photo very appropriate for a Virginia Thanksgiving. Photo taken in my back yard. The Blue-eyed Grass is a new one for me. It is a wild flower and was growing in my yard this summer. I dug some of it and have it in pots, hoping it will survive the winter and I can plant it in the spring. We have had a couple of light frosts so I have it protected.

    Another Virginia photo. I love all azaleas. My first job was selling azaleas on the side of the road. My parents ran a small Mom and Pop nursery from our backyard. Over the years I made enough $$$ to pay for my high school senior trip and my first year of college.

    I did two pages for February. I decided to use a flower theme but I love the photo of the cardinal...there's a heart on the branch...perfect for February. Cardinal photo taken in Kentucky. Flower photo (I don't know what it is called) taken in Tennessee.

    Wonderful work, Everyone. I am absolutely blown away by the talent displayed here. I have completed my calendar and posted it at FaceBook. I will post here, hopefully, tomorrow. I have an early day tomorrow and am on my way to bed. I did find some things I omitted...don't know if I will go back to fill in or just leave it. Sleep well and have a wonderful day!
